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
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?

We’ll burn his body in the holy place,
And with the brands fire the traitors' houses.
Take up the body.
