I had to memorize a passage from Julius Cesar about 15 years ago and still remember it pretty well I think. In it, Brutus is confronting the rest of the conspirators towards the end of the play and calling them out for their reasons of killing Julius.
"Remember March, the ides of March remember? Did not great Julius bleed for Justice's sake. What villain did stab and not for justice? What shall one of us who struck the foremost man but for harboring based bribes with as much as may be grasped thus? I had rather be a dog and bay the moon than such a roman"
I'm surprised I remember so much even 15 years later though I'm sure I messed up the line somewhere.
