 ANTONY
  Post back with speed, and tell him what hath chanced.
305 Here is a mourning Rome, a dangerous Rome,
  No Rome of safety for Octavius yet.
  Hie hence, and tell him so.—Yet, stay awhile.
  Thou shalt not back till I have borne this corse
  Into the marketplace. There shall I try,
310 In my oration, how the people take
  The cruèl issue of these bloody men.
  According to the which, thou shalt discourse
  To young Octavius of the state of things.
  Lend me your hand.
ANTONY
Report back to him fast and tell him what has happened. This is now a Rome in mourning, a dangerous Rome. It's not safe enough for Octavius yet. Hurry away and tell him so. No, wait, stay a minute. Don't go back until I've carried the corpse into the marketplace. There I'll use my speech to test what the people think of these bloody men's cruel action. You'll report back to young Octavius how they respond. Help me here.
Exeunt with CAESAR's body
They exit with CAESAR's body.
