Upon the word,\n[p]Accoutred as I was, I plunged in\n[p]And bade him follow; so indeed he did.\n[p]The torrent roar'd, and we did buffet it\n[p]With lusty sinews, throwing it aside\n[p]And stemming it with hearts of controversy;\n[p]But ere we could arrive the point proposed,\n[p]Caesar cried 'Help me, Cassius, or I sink!'\n[p]I, as Aeneas, our great ancestor,\n[p]Did from the flames of Troy upon his shoulder\n[p]The old Anchises bear, so from the waves of Tiber\n[p]Did I the tired Caesar. And this man\n[p]Is now become a god, and Cassius is\n[p]A wretched creature and must bend his body,\n[p]If Caesar carelessly but nod on him.\n[p]He had a fever when he was in Spain,\n[p]And when the fit was on him, I did mark\n[p]How he did shake: 'tis true, this god did shake;\n[p]His coward lips did from their colour fly,\n[p]And that same eye whose bend doth awe the world\n[p]Did lose his lustre: I did hear him groan:\n[p]Ay, and that tongue of his that bade the Romans\n[p]Mark him and write his speeches in their books,\n[p]Alas, it cried 'Give me some drink, Tintinius,'\n[p]As a sick girl. Ye gods, it doth amaze me\n[p]A man of such a feeble temper should\n[p]So get the start of the majestic world\n[p]And bear the palm alone.\n"

"plainText": "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;\n[p]I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.\n[p]The evil that men do lives after them;\n[p]The good is oft interred with their bones;\n[p]So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus\n[p]Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:\n[p]If it were so, it was a grievous fault,\n[p]And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.\n[p]Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--\n[p]For Brutus is an honourable man;\n[p]So are they all, all honourable men--\n[p]Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.\n[p]He was my friend, faithful and just to me:\n[p]But Brutus says he was ambitious;\n[p]And Brutus is an honourable man.\n[p]He hath brought many captives home to Rome\n[p]Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:\n[p]Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?\n[p]When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:\n[p]Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:\n[p]Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;\n[p]And Brutus is an honourable man.\n[p]You all did see that on the Lupercal\n[p]I thrice presented him a kingly crown,\n[p]Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?\n[p]Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;\n[p]And, sure, he is an honourable man.\n[p]I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,\n[p]But here I am to speak what I do know.\n[p]You all did love him once, not without cause:\n[p]What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?\n[p]O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,\n[p]And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;\n[p]My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,\n[p]And I must pause till it come back to me.\n"
