English

In this song, Dylan repeats the lines "Take the rag away from your face / Now ain't the time for your tears."

He uses these lines throughout the song in order to tell the listener that *this* isn't what they should be upset about. Don't get upset that this woman was murdered. Don't get upset that she was only a maid. Now isn't the time to get upset about these things.

By the end of the song, however, this line changes. It now becomes "Bury the rag deep in your face/ For now's the time for your tears." Dylan says that now is the time to cry because justice was not served. Zanzinger only got six months for the murder of an innocent woman.

Therefore, the repetition of these lines allows Dylan to indicate the true tragedy of this story.

True. I dreamt to-night that I did feast with Caesar, And things unlucky charge my fantasy; I have no will to wander forth of doors, Yet something leads me forth.

Explanation:

Cinna being the poet in the play Julius Caesar, was sauntering along the streets. While walking, he was humming the lines in which he described a dream. He dreamt that he had a feast with Caesar. But, the dream was filled with unfortunate evil spirits and omens.  

Describing the spirits, he said that he did not wish to walk along the streets, yet he is driven by the ominous spirits, along.
