ANTONY He was my friend forthful 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 com 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
Ithnice 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
