Excerpt from Christian Manliness, and Other Sermons

This was the noblest Roman of them all All the conspirators save only he Did that they did in envy of great Caesar He only in a general honest thought And common good to all made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'this was A man.'

Excerpt from Christian Manliness, and Other Sermons

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered. Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. - John xviii, 37.

IN the historical drama of "Julius Caesar" the two principal characters among the conspirators are Cassius and Brutus. After the sudden and irreparable overthrow of their perilous fortunes on the fatal field of Philippi, they both took their own lives. It is not over the dead body of the designing and envious Cassius, however, but over that of the noble and patriotic, albeit misguided, Brutus, that Marc Antony speaks the well-known lines:

"This was the noblest Roman of them all:
All the conspirators save only he
Did that they did in envy of great Caesar;
He only in a general honest thought
And common good to all made one of them.
His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, 'This was a man.'"

Our great Shakespeare here finely describes the elements of the manhood of Brutus.
