第21章

To business that we love we rise betime, And go to't with delight. Soldier A thousand, sir, Early though't be, have on their riveted trim, And at the port expect you.

Shout. Trumpets flourish Enter Captains and Soldiers Captain The morn is fair. Good morrow, general. All Good morrow, general. MARK ANTONY 'Tis well blown, lads:

This morning, like the spirit of a youth That means to be of note, begins betimes.

So, so; come, give me that: this way; well said.

Fare thee well, dame, whate'er becomes of me:

This is a soldier's kiss: rebukeable Kisses her And worthy shameful cheque 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.

Exeunt MARK ANTONY, EROS, Captains, and Soldiers CHARMIAN Please you, retire to your chamber. CLEOPATRA Lead me.

He goes forth gallantly. That he and Caesar might Determine this great war in single fight!

Then Antony,--but now--Well, on.

Exeunt SCENE V. Alexandria. MARK ANTONY's camp. Trumpets sound. Enter MARK ANTONY and EROS; a Soldier meeting them Soldier The gods make this a happy day to Antony! MARK 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 Follow'd thy heels. MARK 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.' MARK ANTONY What say'st thou? Soldier Sir, He is with Caesar. EROS Sir, his chests and treasure He has not with him. MARK ANTONY Is he gone? Soldier Most certain. MARK ANTONY Go, Eros, send his treasure after; do it;Detain no jot, I charge thee: write to him--I will subscribe--gentle adieus and greetings;Say that I wish he never find more cause To change a master. O, my fortunes have Corrupted honest men! Dispatch.--Enobarbus!

Exeunt SCENE VI. Alexandria. OCTAVIUS CAESAR's camp. Flourish. Enter OCTAVIUS CAESAR, AGRIPPA, with DOMITIUSENOBARBUS, and others OCTAVIUS CAESAR Go forth, Agrippa, and begin the fight:

Our will is Antony be took alive;

Make it so known. AGRIPPA Caesar, I shall.

Exit OCTAVIUS CAESAR The time of universal peace is near:

Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nook'd world Shall bear the olive freely.

Enter a Messenger Messenger Antony Is come into the field. OCTAVIUS CAESAR Go charge Agrippa Plant those that have revolted in the van, That Antony may seem to spend his fury Upon himself.

Exeunt all but DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS Alexas did revolt; and went to Jewry on Affairs of Antony; there did persuade Great Herod to incline himself to Caesar, And leave his master Antony: for this pains Caesar 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. DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS I give it you. Soldier Mock not, Enobarbus.

I tell you true: best you safed the bringer Out of the host; I must attend mine office, Or would have done't myself. Your emperor Continues still a Jove.

Exit DOMITIUS 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 SCENE VII. Field of battle between the camps. Alarum. Drums and trumpets. Enter AGRIPPA and others AGRIPPA Retire, we have engaged ourselves too far:

Caesar himself has work, and our oppression Exceeds what we expected.

Exeunt Alarums. Enter MARK ANTONY and SCARUS wounded SCARUS O my brave emperor, this is fought indeed!

Had we done so at first, we had droven them home With clouts about their heads. MARK ANTONY Thou bleed'st apace. SCARUS I had a wound here that was like a T, But now 'tis made an H. MARK ANTONY They do retire. SCARUS We'll beat 'em into bench-holes: I have yet Room for six scotches more.

Enter EROS EROS They are beaten, sir, and our advantage serves For a fair victory. SCARUS Let us score their backs, And snatch 'em up, as we take hares, behind:

'Tis sport to maul a runner. MARK ANTONY I will reward thee Once for thy spritely comfort, and ten-fold For thy good valour. Come thee on. SCARUS I'll halt after.

Exeunt SCENE VIII. Under the walls of Alexandria. Alarum. Enter MARK ANTONY, in a march; SCARUS, with others MARK ANTONY We have beat him to his camp: run one before, And let the queen know of our gests. To-morrow, Before the sun shall see 's, we'll spill the blood That has to-day escaped. I thank you all;For doughty-handed are you, and have fought Not as you served the cause, but as 't had been Each man's like mine; you have shown all Hectors.

Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Tell them your feats; whilst they with joyful tears Wash the congealment from your wounds, and kiss The honour'd gashes whole.

To SCARUS

Give me thy hand Enter CLEOPATRA, attended To this great fairy I'll commend thy acts, Make her thanks bless thee.

To CLEOPATRA

O thou day o' the world, Chain mine arm'd neck; leap thou, attire and all, Through proof of harness to my heart, and there Ride on the pants triumphing! CLEOPATRA Lord of lords!

O infinite virtue, comest thou smiling from The world's great snare uncaught? MARK ANTONY My nightingale, We have beat them to their beds. What, girl!

though grey Do something mingle with our younger brown, yet ha' we A brain that nourishes our nerves, and can Get goal for goal of youth. Behold this man;Commend unto his lips thy favouring hand:
