HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 1904. 25 Mark Antony’s Oration Over Caesar. [Prom “The New Shakespeare. ”] F RIENDS, Romans, Countrymen ! Lend me your ears; I will return them next Saturday. I come To bury Caesar, because the times are hard And his folks can’t afford to hire an undertaker. The evil that men do lives after them In the shape of progeny who reap the Benefit of their life insurance. So let it be with the deceased. Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious. What does Brutus know about it? It is none of his funeral. Would that it were! Here under leave of you I come to Make a speech at Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me; He loaned me five dollars once when I was in a pinch, And signed my petition for a post office. But Brutus says he was ambitious. Brutus should wipe off his chin. Caesar hath brought many captives home to Rome, Who broke rock on the streets until their ransoms Did the general coffers fill. When that the poor hath cried, Caesar hath wept, Because it didn’t cost anything And made him solid with the masses. [Cheer 8.] Ambition should be made of sterner stuff, Yet Brutus says he was ambitious. Brutus is a liar and I can prove it. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown Which he did thrice refuse, because it did not fit him quite. Was this ambition? Yet Brutus said he was ambitious. Brutus is not only the biggest liar in the country, But he i9 a horse-thief of the deepest dye. [Applause.] If you have tears prepare to shed them now. [Laughter. ] You all do know this ulster. I remember the first time ever Caesar put it on; It was on a summer’s evening in his tent, With the thermometer registering 90° in the shade; But it was an ulster to be proud of, And cost him $3 at Marcaius Swartzraeyer’s, Corner of Broad and Ferry streets, sign of the red flag. Old Swartz wanted $40 for it, But finally came down to $3, because it was Caesar. Look! in this place ran Cassius’ dagger through; Through this the son-of-a-gun of a Brutus stabbed, And, when he plucked his cursed steel away, Good gracious ! how the blood of Caesar followed it ! [Cheers, and cries of “ Give us something on the Panama treaty Hit him again, etc. I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts. I am no thief as Brutus is. Brutus has a monopoly in all that business, And if he had his deserts he would be In the penitentiary, and don’t you forget it. Kind friends, sweet friends, I do not wish to stir you up To such a sudden flood of mutiny, And as it looks like rain, The pall-bearers will please place the coffin in the hearse, And we will proceed to bury Caesar — Not to praise him. — H. W. Criswell.
