I am having some trouble with some lines from the play "Julius Ceasar" written by Shakespeare. Can anyone help me? Here is the section I have to paraprase.

Antony (Act 3 Scene 2 Lines 183-196)

For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel.
Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him!
This was the most unkindest cut of all;
For when the noble Caesar saw him stab,
Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms,
Quite vanquished him. Then burst his mighty heart;
And, in his muffling up his face,
Even at the base of Pompey's statue
(Which all the while ran blood) great Caesar fell.
O, what a fall was there, my countryman!
Then I, and you, and all of us fell down,
Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.
O, now you weep, and I perceive you feel
The dint of pity; these are gracious drops.

For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel.
(Brutus looked out for Caesar)
Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him!
(I dare the gods to say that Caesar didn't love him)
This was the most unkindest cut of all;
(this was the lowest it got)
For when the noble Caesar saw him stab,
(When Caesar saw Brutus stab him)
Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms,
(It was worse than the others)
Quite vanquished him. Then burst his mighty heart;
(It blew him away)
And, in his muffling up his face,
(When he covered his face)
Even at the base of Pompey's statue
(Even far away)
(Which all the while ran blood) great Caesar fell.
(The blood of the great Caesar spilled.)
O, what a fall was there, my countryman!
(It was a tragedy, my fellow men)
Then I, and you, and all of us fell down,
(With his death, we all died.)
Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.
(The treason touched us all)
O, now you weep, and I perceive you feel
(Now you and grieve together)
The dint of pity; these are gracious drops.
(The feelings of pity are accepted.)

It's something like that.
