ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

Act 4 Scene 6

(Flourish. Enter Agrippa, Caesar, with Enobarbus and Dolabella)
l1l	Caesar	 Go forth, Agrippa, and begin the fight.
l2l		Our will is Antony be took alive.
l3l		Make it so known.
	Agrippa	Caesar, I shall.
		(Exit)
l4l	Caesar	 The time of universal peace is near.
l5l		Prove this a prosp’rous day, the three-nooked world
l6l		Shall bear the olive freely.
		(Enter a Messenger)
		
	Messenger	 Antony
l7l		Is come into the field.
	Caesar	Go charge Agrippa
l8l		Plant those that have revolted in the van,
l9l		That Antony may seem to spend his fury
l10l		Upon himself.
		(Exeunt Messenger at one door, Caesar and Dolabella at another)
l11l	Enobarbus	 Alexas did revolt, and went to Jewry on
l12l		Affairs of Antony# there did dissuade
l13l		Great Herod to incline himself to Caesar
l14l		And leave his master, Antony. For this pains,
l15l		Caesar hath hanged him. Camidius and the rest
l16l		That fell away have entertainment but
l17l		No honourable trust. I have done ill,
l18l		Of which I do accuse myself so sorely
l19l		That I will joy no more.
		(Enter a Soldier of Caesar's)
		
	Soldier	 Enobarbus, Antony
l20l		Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with
l21l		His bounty overplus. The messenger
l22l		Came on my guard, and at thy tent is now
l23l		Unloading of his mules.
l24l	Enobarbus	I give it you.
l25l	Soldier	Mock not, Enobarbus,
l26l		I tell you true. Best you safed the bringer
l27l		Out of the host. I must attend mine office,
l28l		Or would have done ’t myself. Your Emperor
l29l		Continues still a Jove.
		(Exit)
l30l	Enobarbus	 I am alone the villain of the earth,
l31l		And feel I am so most. O Antony,
l32l		Thou mine of bounty, how wouldst thou have paid
l33l		My better service, when my turpitude
l34l		Thou dost so crown with gold! This blows my heart.
l35l		If swift thought break it not, a swifter mean
l36l		Shall outstrike thought# but thought will do ’t, I feel.
l37l		I fight against thee? No, I will go seek
l38l		Some ditch wherein to die. The foul’st best fits
l39l		My latter part of life.
		(Exit)
