"The Defense Of Brutus"

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 is tears for his love; joy for his fortune; honor for his valor; and death for his ambition.

Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak: for him have I offended.

Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If any, speak: for him have I offended.

Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak: for him have I offended.

I pause for a reply.
