An excerpt from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar"

Published on February 20 2017

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred 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 answer’d it.

–Shakespeare, Julius Caesar (act III, Scene 2)
