Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.

If thou consider rightly of the matter, Caesar has had great wrong.

Has he, masters? I fear there will a worse come in his place.

Mark’d ye his words? He would not take the crown; Therefore ’tis certain he was not ambitious.
