BRUTUS SPEECH

BRUTUS SPEECH

 William Shakespeare

Romans, Countrymen, and Lovers

Hear me for my cause and be silent

That you may hear.

Believed me for mine honor and 

have respect to mine honor 

that you may believed.

Censure me in your wisdom and

awake your senses

That you may be a better judge.

If there be in this assembly. any dear friend of Caesar,

to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his

If then that friend demand 

why Brutus rose against Caesar

This is my answer

--Not that i love Caesar less but I loved Rome more

Had you 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 honor him

But as he was ambitious, I slew him

There were tears for his love; 

Joy for his fortune

honor for his valour

and death for his ambition

Who is here so base that would be a bondman?

If any speak; for him i have offended.

Who is here so rude that would be a roman?

If any speak; for him i have offended

Who is here so vile that will not love his country?

If any speak; for him i have offended

I pause for a reply.

ENJOY YOUR SPEECH CLASS :-)
