"(i) The given statement is quoted from Shakespeare's strong play Julius Caesar where the speaker of this statement is Marc Antony. Antony is speaking to the public of Rome at the funeral of Julius Caesar keeping the request of Brutus.
(ii) Antony was the dear friend of deceased Caeser and does know about the assassins. But he didn't want to make them embarrassed directly in public eye but made this ironic understatement about himself to create a more dramatic scene to Brutus and all the other conspirators.
(iii) By “stir in men’s blood” Antony refers to the Roman men and subjects who loved their leader Caesar and inspire them to intrigued with fire and chase the lives of the conspirators who ruthlessly killed Caesar.
