OK. Pentru Bogdan, că el a „făcut comanda”. Pentru cei ce nu cunosc pasajul – discursul lui Marc Antoniu, iată cum stau lucrurile. Brutus complotează pentru a-l ucide pe împărat şi reuşeşte aceasta. Marc Antoniu, prieten al împăratului asasinat, îl convinge pe Brutus că nu trebuie să se teamă de el şi obţine permisiunea de a ţine un discurs la funeraliile cezarului. Mulţimea e convinsă de Brutus că Cezarul a fost un tiran. Marc Antoniu îi manipulează abil pe cei prezenţi printr-un discurs ambivalent, în care, deşi repetă „Brutus e un bărbat onorabil”, duce discursul către o concluzie contrară.

Iată prima parte a discursului – după care oamenii încep să fie confuzi şi să şovăie în hotărârea că Cezar fusese un tiran. De acum, introduc o inovaţie. Playerul va fi înaintea textului citit, iar înaintea lui va fi doar textul introductiv – când îmi scriu părerea şi apoi citez un text, fişierul audio va consta numai în opera citată, fără completarea mea.

Sandu BARBU - Mark Anthony's Soliloquy

Mark Antony’s Speech

ANTONY

You gentle Romans,--

ANTONY

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;

So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus

Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--

For Brutus is an honourable man;

So are they all, all honourable men--

Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.

He was my friend, faithful and just to me:

But Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

He hath brought many captives home to Rome

Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And, sure, he is an honourable man.

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.

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.
