MKG पर बोलते लिखते समय हिंदुओं को यह भाषण पढ़ना चाहिए, उसपर सोचना चाहिए – For Brutus is an honourable man; so are they all, all honourable men
“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears”
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
(from Julius Caesar, spoken by Marc 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 answered 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.
