Caesar's Camp.
Enter a SENTRY and his COMPANY; ENOBARBUS follows.
Sentry If we be not relieved within this hour,
We must return to th' court of guard. The night
Is shiny, and they say we shall embattle
By the second hour i'th' morn.
1st Watch This last day was
A shrewd one to's.
Enobarbus O bear me witness, night-
2nd Watch What man is this?
1st Watch Stand close, and list him.
Enobarbus Be witness to me, O thou blessd moon,
When men revolted shall upon record
Bear hateful memory, poor Enobarbus did
Before thy face repent.
Sentry Enobarbus?
2nd Watch Peace!
Hark farther.
Enobarbus O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me. Throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault,
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder,
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular,
But let the world rank me in register
A master-leaver and a fugitive!
O Antony! O Antony!
[Dies.
1st Watch Let's speak to him.
Sentry Let's hear him, for the things he speaks
May concern Caesar.
2nd Watch Let's do so. - But he sleeps.
Sentry Swoons rather; for so bad a prayer as his
Was never yet for sleep.
1st Watch Go we to him.
2nd Watch Awake, sir, awake! Speak to us.
1st Watch Hear you, sir?
Sentry The hand of death hath raught him.
[Drums afar off.
Hark, the drums
Demurely wake the sleepers. Let us bear him
To th' court of guard: he is of note. Our hour
Is fully out.
2nd Watch Come on then. He may recover yet.
[Exeunt with the body.
