SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

Friends, Romans, countrymen, listen to me

I came to bury Caesar, not to praise him

The evil actions of men will remain after their death

The good in a man will enter his body after death

Let Caesar's actions follow him.

Brutus had told you Caesar was ambitious.

If Caesar was ambitious, his ambition would be his demise,

Caesar made it clear, he was an ambitious man.

Due to Brutus' departure-

Brutus and them are all honorable men-

I will now discuss my relationship with Caesar.

Caesar was a loyal friend to me.

Brutus said that Caesar was ambitious,

and Brutus is not a liar.

Many captives asked Caesar to be released with money,

Caesar brought them home to Rome,

and put the money in Rome's treasure, not in his pocket.

Did Caesar think this was ambitious?

Caesar cried alongside the poor.

Ambition takes overcoming more troubles.

Yet Brutus said Caesar was ambitious,

and Brutus wouldn't lie.

You all saw at the Lupercal,

I excitingly presented Brutus with a crown,

which Brutus quickly denied.

Was Brutus' ambition?

Brutus still says Caesar was ambitious,

Brutus is an honorable man, he wouldn't lie.

I'm not speaking to disprove Brutus,

But I'm here to speak what I know.

You all loved him once unwarrantedly:

Why are you all mourning for him?

There is no longer any judgement,

And men have lost their reason. Bear with me.

My heart is in the coffin with Caesar.

I will pause momentarily.
