Explanation:

In the monologue, Caesar says the world has many reasonable men (flesh and blood, apprehensive). But he is the one who is unshakable (constant). He won't reverse Cimber's banishment to show his constancy.

Answer:

Caesar refuses to reverse Cimber's banishment. He says that, although the world is full of reasonable men, he is the only one who stands firm, and he will stick by his sentence to prove it.
