QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Julius Caesar ACT/SCENE: 3.1 SPEAKER: Brutus CONTEXT: CASSIUS
Brutus, a word with you .
You know not what you do. Do not consent
That Antony speak in his funeral.
Know you how much the people may be moved
By that which he will utter?
BRUTUS
By your pardon.
I will myself into the pulpit first,
And show the reason of our Caesar’s death.
What Antony shall speak, I will protest,
He speaks by leave and by permission,
And that we are contented Caesar shall
Have all true rites and lawful ceremonies.
It shall advantage more than do us wrong.
CASSIUS
I know not what may fall. I like it not. DUTCH: En wat Antonius spreekt, zal ik verklaren,
Dat hij met ons verlof en wil hot spreekt
