JULIUS CAESAR Act 3 scene 2
Friends Romans countrymen lend me your ears
for Sonneteer William Shakespeare
who impresses all who doth come near
Holding rhyme & cadence ,so dear.
plays in verse also were his poetic thing
Thus making our English lingo sing.
‘Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears: I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.’
(Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 2)
Antony was happy to bury Julius~ Cleopatra was now his
All of those ears~ must have been a lot of odd looking Romans
My question is~ would Antony give them all back?
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears - a confusing metaphor.

Opening night:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
(thunderous applause)
Second night:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
Eh? What?
No, heart, no brains, and no courage
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears
Allow me to introduce the Queen of Truth
Your majesty, you are the fairness of them all
Such an honor to be your Lord Chancellor
Thus, I beckon your call
Your Highness and sweet gratefulness
I take great pleasure
In serving you, my lady
Indeed, I am at your service,
Day or night, and
Your wish is my command, and
I wish you longevity
