each quotation. (2) Link one of the ideas or stylistic devices of each quotation to another
idea or stylistic device you have come across this semester, either similar or opposed to

ANTONY
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept;
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
Bear with me.
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

Methinks there is much reason in his sayings. LIBRARY
SECOND PLEBEIAN ee
Caesar has had great wrong.
TITINIUS O setting sun,
As in thy red rays thou dost sink to night,
So in his red blood Cassius’ day is set.
The sun of Rome is set. Our day is gone;
Alas, thou hast misconstrued everything.
By your leave, gods. This is a Roman’s part:
Come, Cassius’ sword, and find Titinius’ heart.
[Dies.]
