Mark Antony, Speech at Caesar's Funeral
at si Caesar privatus mortuus esset, magnis orationibus non mihi opus esset,
But if he was dead, Caesar, as a private individual, forced by the expressions that do not to me, which might be needed,
sed quoniam et ille in summo imperio periit, et ego etiam consulatum gero, nulla quae dicenda sunt tacere debeo.
but since he also perished in the supreme command, and I also am carrying on the consulship, I ought not to keep silent about any things which are to be said.
certe pater ille, quamvis pontifex maximus, sacrosanctus, vir magnus, divus, tamen ab amicis, a civibus occisus est, quem nullus hostis interficere potuerat.
certainly that father, although the greatest pontiff, most sacred, a great man, a god, was slain by his friends, and by his fellow-citizens, whom no enemy had been able to slay.
quid opus fuit te lenitate tua, O Caesar, quid sacrosanctitate, quid legibus, te crudelissime ab amicis occisum esse !
What need was there for you, your lenity, O Caesar, what sanctity, what laws, that you were most cruelly slain by your friends?
, Que necessidade havia de você, a suavidade de sua preferência, Oh, Majestade, que é sacrosanctitate, das leis de, que, você, com a maior crueldade, tinha sido morto por seus amigos para ser!
O dolorem, O cruorem a cano capillo stillantem !
Oh the pain, the blood dripping from my gray hair!
Oh dor sanguíneo O está pingando do cabelo grisalho!
O laceratam togam, quam nulla ratione vestivisse videris, nisi ut in ea ferrum reciperes,.....per Iovem, Romae custodem, per caelestes deos, iuro, ius iurandum do, me Caesaris mortem persecuturum esse.
Oh the torn toga, which you seem to have clothed in no way, except that you should receive the iron in it... By Jupiter, guardian of Rome, by the heavenly gods, I swear, I give an oath, that I will die of Caesar's death.
Oh, foi rasgado em pedaços toga da masculinidade, do que a roupa de qualquer maneira você vê-los, o ferro nele, mas que ele pode receber de volta, ....., por Zeus, o guardião da Roma, por meio dos deuses celestiais, eu juro, e eu dou o direito de fazer um juramento, que eu tenho que ser seguido, a morte de César.
