Read the two excerpts from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar . SECOND PLEBEIAN: Peace, silence! Brutus speaks. FIRST PLEBEIAN: Peace, ho! BRUTUS: Good countrymen, let me depart alone, And, for my sake, stay here with Antony. Do grace to Caesar’s corpse, and grace his speech Tending to Caesar’s glories, which Mark Antony, By our permission, is allowed to make. I do entreat you, not a man depart Save I alone till Antony have spoke. [Exit] SECOND PLEBEIAN: Most noble Caesar! We’ll revenge his death. THIRD PLEBEIAN: O royal Caesar! ANTONY: Hear me with patience. ALL: Peace, ho! ANTONY: Moreover, he hath left you all his walks, His private arbours, and new-planted orchards, On this side Tiber. He hath left them you, And to your heirs for ever—common pleasures To walk abroad and recreate yourselves. Here was a Caesar. When comes such another? Which statement best compares the last remarks in the two monologues?
