The Senate did nothing to alter the ordinances he had established. New honours were bestowed upon him, all his assassins fled, and with universal agreement, he was elevated to the status of a god. Who has ever seen a tyrant deified after his death? Even Alexander, the greatest prince of antiquity, was considered the son of Jupiter only during his lifetime. And Cesar had this advantage over that hero. What was done for Cesar's merit by his friends was achieved posthumously. 
Even the gods, after giving omens of his death, still wanted to testify to their immense wrath. This fearing comet that appeared for seven days after his demise was already a sign of the revenge they would take. Even the sun, for an entire year, lost its usual heat and brilliance, showing the entire planet that the Republic had lost in Cesar its grandest figure and greatest glory. And to better testify to his innocence, celestial vengeance pursued all of those who contributed to this unjust conspiracy to their deaths. They all met a violent end, with no one able to escape. They found nowhere to live peacefully. The sea was as deadly to them as the land. Those who fled from the wrath of their enemies committed suicide. Brutus pierced his heart with the same sword with which he had struck Caesar, and thus punished himself with the same weapons with which he had committed the crime. As for Cassius, he also ended his life in the same way, and I have finally learned that none of Caesar's murderers remain in this world. Judge after that, Lepidus, if he is not fully innocent. Isn't his death as glorious as his life since it showed that the entire natural world was involved? And, speaking reasonably, was Caesar not rather the protector and father of the homeland than the tyrant of the Romans?
 
Effect of this speech
Let me not tell you the effect of this speech, it is for you to tell me. Its purpose was to convince you, so it is for you to let me know if it worked. It addressed you under the name of Lepidus, so it is for you to tell me if it achieved its goal. As for me, I assure you that if I persuade you, it is only after I have been convinced. I do not seek to make you believe what I do not believe myself. I have such consideration for Caesar that I cannot think ill of his intentions. And we must all respect great men by not condemning them too quickly based on assumptions. Appearances can be deceiving, the plans of the great are hidden. Let us respect them and not try to pass judgement. 

Notes
Calpurnia is the daughter of the Roman politician Piso Caesoninus and the last wife of Julius Caesar, with whom he remained married the longest. Indeed, she was with him.
