the witch take me if I meant it thus！ Grace grow where those drops fall！

give me that。 This way。 Well said。 Fare thee well； dame； whate'er becomes
of me。 This is a soldier's kiss。 Rebukeable； And worthy shameful check it
were； to stand On more mechanic compliment； I'll leave thee Now like a
man of steel。 You that will fight； Follow me close； I'll bring you to't。 Adieu。

Trumpets sound。 Enter ANTONY and EROS； a SOLDIER meeting
them
SOLDIER。 The gods make this a happy day to Antony！ ANTONY。
Would thou and those thy scars had once prevail'd To make me fight at
land！ SOLDIER。 Hadst thou done so； The kings that have revolted； and
the soldier That has this morning left thee； would have still Followed thy
heels。 ANTONY。 Who's gone this morning？ SOLDIER。 Who？ One ever
near thee。 Call for Enobarbus； He shall not hear thee； or from Caesar's
camp Say 'I am none of thine。' ANTONY。 What say'st thou？ SOLDIER。
Sir； He is with Caesar。 EROS。 Sir； his chests and treasure He has not with
him。 ANTONY。 Is he gone？ SOLDIER。 Most certain。 ANTONY。 Go； Eros；

Flourish。 Enter AGRIPPA； CAESAR； with DOLABELLA and
ENOBARBUS
CAESAR。 Go forth； Agrippa； and begin the fight。 Our will is Antony
be took alive； Make it so known。 AGRIPPA。 Caesar； I shall。 Exit
CAESAR。 The time of universal peace is near。 Prove this a prosp'rous day；
the three…nook'd world Shall bear the olive freely。
Enter A MESSENGER
MESSENGER。 Antony Is come into the field。 CAESAR。 Go charge
Agrippa Plant those that have revolted in the vant； That Antony may seem
to spend his fury Upon himself。 Exeunt all but ENOBARBUS
ENOBARBUS。 Alexas did revolt and went to Jewry on Affairs of
Antony； there did dissuade Great Herod to incline himself to Caesar And
leave his master Antony。 For this pains Casaer hath hang'd him。 Canidius
and the rest That fell away have entertainment； but No honourable trust。 I
have done ill； Of which I do accuse myself so sorely That I will joy no
more。
Enter a SOLDIER of CAESAR'S
SOLDIER。 Enobarbus； Antony Hath after thee sent all thy treasure；
with His bounty overplus。 The messenger Came on my guard； and at thy
tent is now Unloading of his mules。 ENOBARBUS。 I give it you。
SOLDIER。 Mock not； Enobarbus。 I tell you true。 Best you saf'd the
bringer Out of the host。 I must attend mine office； Or would have done't
myself。 Your emperor Continues still a Jove。 Exit ENOBARBUS。 I am
alone the villain of the earth； And feel I am so most。 O Antony； Thou mine
of bounty； how wouldst thou have paid My better service； when my
turpitude Thou dost so crown with gold！ This blows my heart。 If swift
thought break it not； a swifter mean Shall outstrike thought； but thought
will do't； I feel。 I fight against thee？ No！ I will go seek Some ditch wherein
to die； the foul'st best fits My latter part of life。 Exit
