Antony’s Eulogy to Brutus

Marc Antony:
A heavy heart burdens me upon the sight of this bleeding piece of Earth that is the lifeless corps of valiant Brutus.
Yea, though partake he did in the plot and murder of glorious Caesar.
Despite this, of all Romans he was amongst the noblest.

A simple and honest man was he, and simple and honest were his goals.

A better man hath he wanted to be.
A natural born leader Brutus was not.
Yet, to victory in Phillipi did he lead his troops.

A simple and honest man was he, and simple and honest was his pain.

Grief was his companion upon the passing of his dear Potia.
Stoic was he however, and suffering was left to him only.

A simple and honest man was he, and simple and honest were his dreams and nightmares.

To Rome, sweet Rome.
His sleep often carried him.
But the ghost of Caesar often haunted his soul.
Cruel and painful was his sleep then.

A simple and honest man was he, and simple and honest were his actions.

My life itself was spared by Brutus.
For towards me he felt not anger, nor hatred.
Only the enemies of Rome were his foes.

A simple and honest man was he, and simple and honest were his principles.

Envy of Caesar had he not.
Pure only were his intentions.
Led to murder was Brutus, by others less honorable than he.
Evil Cassius did him no service.

Admiration overcomes me as we peer upon the bloodied body of Brutus.
To his principle he remained true, and if great Caesar himself were here today, surely he would hath agreed.
His death, a suicide, a saddening end to a simple, yet complex life he bore.
Brutus, a simple and honest man, stood for what he believed his beloved Rome.
And we can all say to the world, “This was a man!”
