“Now, let it work.
Mischief thou art afoot,
Take thou what course thou wilt!
(Marc Antony, after manipulating the Roman people into mutiny)
”
Mischief thou art afoot,
Take thou what course thou wilt!
(Marc Antony, after manipulating the Roman people into mutiny)
— Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare
“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 mix’d in him that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, “This was a man!”
— Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Marc Antony’s final line.
