1. Antony says the lines when he becomes successful in engaging the crowd to mutiny against the conspirators. He believes that now the conspirators will be done for and Caesar's soul will rest in peace as his revenge will be taken for sure. He says that now his trick against the conspirators has begun and it can take any path it wants towards destruction. This line shows how clever, witty, cunning and meticulous Antony is.
2. Antony says this when he is alone with Caesar's body. He is fuming with rage but is helpless in front of the powerful and United conspirators. He prophesied that the crimes of war, murders, killings and destruction will become common and frightful objects such as daggers and knives will be familiar in sight. Mothers shall be happy when they see their infants killed in war crimes, which is very unusual. Hence these lines signify that unusual and strange happenings will surround Rome and destroy it.
