OP

You wrote In the immortal words of Shakespeare, the character of Marc Antony, "I come not to praise Caesar, but to bury him".
I believe the phrase is "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him." (My oldest daughter was Marc Antony in the 6th grade play.) Of course, like most of the rest of what Marc A said, it was meant to be ironical (well, not from Marc's perspective, but from the author's). He says he's not going to praise Caesar when in fact he does nothing but praise Caesar. He talks about the nobility of Brutus and the others ("so are they all honorable men") when in fact he's offering evidence that they have been an altogether perfidious lot. He says that he is no orator like Brutus, all while delivering some of the most stirring words ever uttered.
