Nothing. At his funeral Antony was dead, therefore he could not speak. However if you are asking about the funeral oration that Antony made at Caesar's funeral, there is no set translation of his speech only the versions that the ancient writers give us. They all say that Antony inflamed the crowd with his words, which caused the riot and fire and ciaos. Shakespeare gives fictionalize version of Antony's speech in the play Julius Caesar.

∙ 8y agoYou pretty well have to listen to it or read it to get everything. It is a rambling and discursive speech which nevertheless always seeks to anger the populace at the killing of Caesar and to direct that anger at the conspirators who committed the murder, even when superficially it might seem to be doing the opposite. Shakespeare was well aware of the ability of people to say one thing and imply its opposite, which is called irony, and the whole of Antony's speech is steeped in irony.

Brutus sets these rules for Antony to abide by; 1. that Antony will not blame Brutus and the conspirators " You shall not in your funeral speech blame us" 2. to speak only of the good things Antony can think of about Caesar "speak all good you can devise of Caesar" 3. ensure that he [Antony] informs the plebeians/people that he is only speaking at Caesar's funeral because he was given permission to, by Brutus and co. "And say you do it by our permission" 4. that Antony will speak in the same pulpit where Brutus is going to speak "and you shall speak in the same pulpit whereto I am going" If Antony does not agree, then he "shall not have any hand at all about his [Caesar's] funeral" Hope that helps
