Which is the best summary of the central idea of this

part of Antony's speech?
Read the passage. Then answer the question that
follows.
ANTONY. You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason! Bear with me.
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
*. - The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,
William Shakespeare
He says the Roman people once had good reasons
to love Caesar.
He needs to take a break from the speech because
he is too upset.
He questions why the Romans no longer love
Caesar and have turned against him.
