ANTONY
Post back with speed, and tell him what hath chanced.
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,
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.
