What does Antony offer Caesar in the marketplace?

After the conspirators have stabbed Caesar to death, Antony sends a message to Brutus, asking permission to speak with Brutus about what has happened. Brutus grants permission and says that he is sure that Antony will be on their side. Cassius, however, doesn't trust Antony, so when Antony appears, Cassius says to him, "Your voice voice shall be any man's / In the disposing of new dignities." Essentially, Cassius is offering Antony a kind of bribe to not oppose Brutus. If Antony has a "voice" in appointments to various offices, he can richly reward himself and his followers.

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.
