FIRST PLEBEIAN

We’ll burn the house of Brutus!

THIRD PLEBEIAN
Away then! Come, seek the conspirators. [225]

ANTONY
Yet hear me, countrymen, yet hear me speak.

ALL
Peace, ho! Hear Antony, most noble Antony.

ANTONY
Why, friends, you go to do you know not what.

Wherein hath Caesar thus deserved your loves?
Alas, you know not. I must tell you then − [230]
You have forgot the will I told you of.

ALL
Most true! The will! Let’s stay and hear the will.

ANTONY
Here is the will, and under Caesar’s seal.
To every Roman citizen he gives,

To every several man, seventy-five drachmas. [235]

FOURTH PLEBEIAN
Most noble Caesar! We’ll revenge his death!

THIRD PLEBEIAN
O royal Caesar!

ANTONY
Hear me with patience.

ALL
Peace, ho!
