"...why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that 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...(In the case of Trump, I would change this line to "As he was vain, I despise him; as he was a corrupt, immoral, brain-dead, greedy asshole, we should impeach him")
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; (To wipe out the evil, Trump has done, it will take centuries!..or can never be wiped out...he has caused permanent damage to USA and the wolrd) 75The good is oft interrèd 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. 80Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest— For Brutus is an honorable man; So are they all, all honorable men— Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me. 85But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill. | |
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? 90When 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 honorable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal 95I 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 honorable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, 100But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause. (Honestly, you must be pretty naive to have ever liked or respected Trump: he has been an asshole since his teenage years) |
