ANTONY's speech over the dead body of CESAR.

"ANT.

Kind souls, what, weep you, when you but behold
Our Cæsar's vesture wounded? Look you here,
Here is himself, marr'd, as you see, with traitors.
1st CIT. O piteous spectacle!
2d CIT.

3d CIT. O woful day!

4th CIT.

O noble Cæsar!

O traitors! villains!

1st CIT. O most bloody sight!

VII.

After the reconciliation between BRUTUS and
CASSIUS.

"BRU. O Cassius, I am sick of many griefs. CASS. Of your philosophy you make no use,

If you give place to accidental evils.

BRU.

No man bears sorrow better:-Portia is dead. CASS. Ha! Portia?

CASS. How 'scaped I killing when I cross'd you so?"

VIII.

BRUTUS reading.-Ghost of CÆSAR enters.

"BRU. How ill this taper burns!-Ha! who comes here?

I think, it is the weakness of mine eyes,

That shapes this monstrous apparition.

It comes upon me:-Art thou

any thing?

Art thou some god, some angel, or some devil,
That mak'st my blood cold, and my hair to stare?
Speak to me, what thou art.

GHOST. Thy evil spirit, Brutus.

BRU.

Why comest thou?

GHOST. To tell thee, thou shalt see me at Philippi.

"BRU. O Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet!

Thy spirit walks abroad, and turns our swords
In our own proper entrails.

I pr'ythee, Strato, stay thou by thy lord:
Thou art a fellow of a good respect;

ACT V. S. 3.

Thy life hath had some smatch of honour in it:
Hold then my sword, and turn away thy face,
While I do run upon it.

Farewell, good Strato!-Cæsar, now be still:
I kill'd not thee with half so good a will.

ACT V. S. 5.

The dead bodies of CASSIUS and TITINIUS are lying

in the middle ground.

Brave Titinius!

Look whe'r he have not crown'd dead Cassius!"
