Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that Ты may hear: believe me for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that Ты may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses, that Ты may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' Любовь to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
--Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had Ты rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his ambition. Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.
Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If
any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so vile that will not Любовь his country? If any, speak;for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.
