Question

ANTONY:
But here’s a parchment with the seal of Caesar. . . .
‘Tis his will.
Let but the commons hear this testament—
Which, pardon me, I do not mean to read . . . .

All the Plebeians:
The will, the will! We will hear Caesar’s will.

ANTONY:
Have patience, gentle friends, I must not read it.
It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you. . . .
It will inflame you; it will make you mad.
‘Tis good you know not that you are his heirs . . . .
