How would Shakespeare say your?

Let's see. In Julius Caesar Antony says, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen! Lend me your ears!" "Your" is "your", but only most of the time. Sometimes, and only when one person is speaking to one and no more than one other person, he uses the word "thy". Antony would never have said "lend me thy ears" when he was talking to a crowd. It's hard to predict exactly when Shakespeare will use your and when he will use thy. Hamlet says to Horatio "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." but later "I prithee when thou seest that act afoot, even with the very comment of thy soul, observe my uncle." Sometimes characters change pronouns in mid-conversation and then change back.

Who said o pardon you thou bleeding piece of earth that you are meek and gentle with these butchers?

it is from "Julius Caesar", a play by Shakespeare it is the beginning of a famous monologue, which comes before another, even more famous monologue Marc Antony gives this monologue to Caesar's body it means that he is sorry that he is simply talking to the conspirators who killed Ceasar. He was Caesar's right hand man, a general of the roman army, and rumored to have been Caesar's lover. The speech he gives following this turns the crowd to his side. You probably have heard the beginning of this one too, it starts off: FRIENDS, ROMANS, Countrymen, lend me your ears! anyway so that's what it means he is sorry that he is not immediately avenging Caesar, and that he is merely talking to them immediately after killing Caesar.


Who said the evil that men do lives after them?

William Shakespeare said it. Actually, his character Mark Anthony says it in the play Julius Ceaser in Act 3, Scene 2. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;The evil that men do lives after them,The good is oft interred with their bones, # "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones...", said by Mark Antony as part of his funeral oration after the murder of the emperor Caesar, in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. Antony is allowed to speak only after he promises Brutus that he will not speak ill of the conspirators, who claimed that they killed Caesar for the good of Rome. As if to comply with the instructions he had been given, Antony begins by saying, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him," followed by the sentence about evil deeds outliving those who commit them. With this beginning, he gives the impression that he agrees that Caesar was evil. In the rest of the speech, however, with a mixture of fact, innuendo and sarcasm, he reminds the crowd of Caesar's good qualities and rouses them against the conspirators. (For example, with "He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome, Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? 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.") This is a classic of political speech by a leader who uses subtlety and oratorical skill rather than overt calls to action to persuade listeners to his viewpoint.
