|
| Quotations |
Beware the ides of March. Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come. Et tu, Brute! For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones. Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once. If you have tears prepare to shed them now This was the noblest Roman of them all.
All the conspirators save only he
Did that they did in envy of great Caesar. | |
|
| Last words |
OCTAVIUS
According to his virtue let us use him,
With all respect and rites of burial.
Within my tent his bones tonight shall lie
Most like a soldier, ordered honorably.
So call the field to rest, and let’s away
To part the glories of this happy day.
