Fwienyds, Womanys, counytwymeny, wenyd me youw eaws;
I come to buwy Caesaw, nyot to pwaise him.
The eviw that meny do wives aftew them;
The good is oft inytewwed with theiw bonyes;
So wet it be with Caesaw.
The nyobwe Bwutus
Hath towd you Caesaw was ambitious:
If it wewe so, it was a gwievous fauwt,
Anyd gwievouswy hath Caesaw anyswew’d it.
Hewe, unydew weave of Bwutus anyd the west–
Fow Bwutus is any honyouwabwe many;
So awe they aww, aww honyouwabwe meny–
Come I to speak iny Caesaw’s funyewaw.
He was my fwienyd, faithfuw anyd just to me:
But Bwutus says he was ambitious;
Anyd Bwutus is any honyouwabwe many.
He hath bwought manyy captives home to Wome
Whose wanysoms did the genyewaw coffews fiww:
Did this iny Caesaw seem ambitious?
Wheny that the poow have cwied, Caesaw hath wept:
Ambitiony shouwd be made of stewnyew stuff:
Yet Bwutus says he was ambitious;
Anyd Bwutus is any honyouwabwe many.
You aww did see that ony the Wupewcaw
I thwice pwesenyted him a kinygwy cwowny,
Which he did thwice wefuse: was this ambitiony?
Yet Bwutus says he was ambitious;
Anyd, suwe, he is any honyouwabwe many.
I speak nyot to dispwuv what Bwutus spoke,
But hewe I am to speak what I do knyow.
You aww did wuv him onyce, nyot without cause:
What cause withhowds you theny, to mouwny fow him?
O judgmenyt ^w^ thou awt fwed to bwutish beasts,
Anyd meny have wost theiw weasony. Beaw with me;
My heawt is iny the coffiny thewe with Caesaw,
Anyd I must pause tiww it come back to me.
