theÌ„ selues that he spake nothing but right did like them wel as men of courage and louers of the people had them in great admiration and were turned into their fauour and determined to doe them good the next day â–ª whiche being come the Consuls called the people to an assembly and repeated the opinions Then Cicero did speake very much in the prayse of forgetting of iniuries of the which they reioiced and called Brutus and Cassius from the Temple They desired pledges to whom Lepidus Antonies sonnes were sente When Brutus Cassius were séene there was such a noyse as the Consuls that would haue sayde somwhat could not be suffered but wer first required to shake hands and be at one which they dyd And the Consuls mindes were troubled with feare or enuye that these men and their friends should preuayle in that common cause Then was Casars testament with the writings for the dispositioÌ„ of his goods brought forth which the people commaunded to be red There was Octauius his nephew by his sisters daughter fouÌ„d to be his sonne by adoption His gardings were giuen the people for solace and to euerye Citizen of Rome that was present seauentie fiue draÌ„mes of Athens Now was the people streyght turned to anger being abused by the name of a Tyranne that in hys testament had shewed most loue to his country And one thing séemed most to be pitied that Decimus Brutus one of the killers was made his sonne among his second heyres for the Râ—maines maner was to their first heyres to adde the second y if the first take not the feâ—oÌ„d may With this they were much troubled thinking it a wicked and abhominable an that Decimus should conspire againste Caesar whome hée had made one of his children Piso brought forth Caesars body to the which infinit numbers in armes ran to kepe it with much noyse poÌ„pe brought it to the place of spéech There was much lameÌ„tation weeping ther was rushing of harnesse togither with repentaunce of the forgetting of reueÌ„geance Antony marking how they were affected did not let it slippe but toke vpon him to make Caesars â—nneral sermon as Consul of a Consul friend of a friend knifman of a kinsman for Antony was partly his kinsman and to vse craft againe And thus he said I do not thinke it méete O Citizens that the buriall praise of suche a man should rather be done by me than by the whole country For what you haue altogither for the loue of hys vertue giuen him by decrée aswell the Senate as the people I thinke your voice and not Antonies oughte to expresse it This he vttered with sad and heauy cheare and wyth a framed voice declared euerything chiefly vpon the decrée whereby he was made a God holy inuiolate father of the country benefactor and gouernor and suche a one as neuer in al things they entituled other man to y like At euery of these words Antonie directed his countenance hands to Caesars body and with vehemencie of words opened the fact At euery title he gaue an addition with briefe speach mixte with pitie and indignation And when the decrée named him father of the Country then he saide This is the testimony of our duety And at these wordes holy inuiolate and vntouched and the refuge of all other he said None other made refuge of hym But he this holy and vntouched is kylled not takyng honoure by violences whiche he neuer desired and then be we verye thrall that bestowe them on the vnworthy neuer suing for them But you doe purge your selues O Citizens of this vnkindnesse in y you nowe do vse suche honoure towarde hym being dead Then rehearsing the othe that all shoulde kéepe Caesar and Caesars body and if any one wente about to betraye hym that they were accursed that would not defende him at this he extolled hys voice and helde vp his handes to the Capitoll saying O Iupiter Countries defendour and you other Gods I am ready to reuenge as I sware and made execration and when it séemes good to my companions to allowe the decrées I desire them to aide me At these plaine spéeches spoken agaynst the Senate an vprâ—are being made Antony waxed colde and recanted hys wordes It séemeth O Citizens saide hée that the things done haue not bin the worke of men â–ª but of Gods and that we ought to haue more consideration of the present than of the past bycause the thyngs to come â–ª maye bring vs to greater danger than these we haue if we shall returne to oure olde and waste the reste of the noble men that be in the Cittie Therfore let vs send thys holy one to the number of the blessed and sing to him his due hymne and mourning verse When

the â—â—de and the people was in silence also but when they heard they might not seÌ„d to Rome they were turned into an exceeding shryking The people ranne into them Then fell they to a surye like madde men without reason as the ministers of Bacchus be wont which they saye shewe their madnes in diuerse maners Some were angry with the Senatours which wer the cauâ—â— why the pledgies were sent and spoyled and tore them as authours of the deceyt some for letting the armor go some missused the ambasadours as tellers of euil newes and dragged them aboute the Citie Some tormented the Italians that were yet there the case being sodayne and not proclaymed sundry wayes saying they were reuenged of their pledgies and armour The Cittie was full of anger feare and threates In the way they called vpon their best beloued things they fledde into the temples as to Sanctuaries they reuiled their goddes that coulde not helpe them Other went to the armaries and cryed when they found them empty Some

Temples and all the holy places and euerie other worke of anye strength they wrought vppon daye and night men and women not ceassing and gathered victualles by partes as the time did serue euerye daye they made a hundred shieldes thrée hundered swordes and a thousand arrowes to shoote fiue hundred speares and pykes and as many bowes and slinges as they could The women shaued their haire to make
