And will not let me sleep?"'' }}

** ''[[Julius Caesar (theatre)|Julius Caesar]]'', after Brutus dies, his enemies, Antony and Octavian agree on giving him a respectful burial.

With all respect and rites of burial.
Within my tent his bones to-night shall lie,
Most like a soldier, order'd honorably. }}
