 ALL
                                                  Peace, ho!
ALL
Quiet, there!
 ANTONY
  Moreover, he hath left you all his walks,
  His private arbors and new-planted orchards,
  On this side Tiber. He hath left them you
240 And to your heirs forever—common pleasures,
  To walk abroad and recreate yourselves.
  Here was a Caesar! When comes such another?
ANTONY
Also, he's left you all his walkways—in his private gardens and newly planted orchards—on this side of the Tiber River. He's left them to you and to your heirs forever—public pleasures in which you will be able to stroll and relax. Here was a Caesar! When will there be another like him?
 FIRST PLEBEIAN
  Never, never.—Come, away, away!
  We'll burn his body in the holy place,
245 And with the brands fire the traitors' houses.
  Take up the body.
FIRST PLEBEIAN
Never, never. Let's go! We'll burn his body in the holy place and use the brands to set the traitors' houses on fire. Take up the body.
 SECOND PLEBEIAN
                                  Go fetch fire.
SECOND PLEBEIAN
We'll start a fire.
 THIRD PLEBEIAN
  Pluck down benches.
THIRD PLEBEIAN
We'll use benches for wood—
 FOURTH PLEBEIAN
  Pluck down forms, windows, anything.
FOURTH PLEBEIAN
And windowsills, anything.
Exeunt PLEBEIANS with CAESAR's body
Citizens exit with CAESAR's body.
 ANTONY
  Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot.
250 Take thou what course thou wilt!
ANTONY
Now, let it work. Trouble, you have begun—take whatever course you choose!
Enter OCTAVIUS' SERVANT
OCTAVIUS'S SERVANT enters.
                                          How now, fellow?
What's up, my man?
 OCTAVIUS' SERVANT
  Sir, Octavius is already come to Rome.
OCTAVIUS'S SERVANT
Sir, Octavius has already arrived in Rome.
 ANTONY
  Where is he?

Where is he?

  He and Lepidus are at Caesar's house.
