Before Alexandria. CÆSARS Camp. | |
|
Flourish. Enter CÆSAR, with AGRIPPA, ENOBARBUS, and Others. | |
Cæs. Go forth, Agrippa, and begin the fight: | |
Our will is Antony be took alive; | |
Make it so known. | 5 |
Agr. Cæsar, I shall. [Exit. | |
Cæs. The time of universal peace is near: | |
Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nookd world | |
Shall bear the olive freely. | |
|
Enter a Messenger. | 10 |
Mess. Antony | |
Is come into the field. | |
Cs. Go charge Agrippa | |
Plant those that have revolted in the van, | |
That Antony may seem to spend his fury | 15 |
Upon himself. [Exeunt CÆSAR and his Train. | |
Eno. Alexas did revolt, and went to Jewry on | |
Affairs of Antony; there did persuade | |
Great Herod to incline himself to Cæsar, | |
And leave his master Antony: for this pains | 20 |
Cæsar hath hangd 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. | 25 |
|
Enter a Soldier of CÆSARS. | |
Sold. 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 | 30 |
Unloading of his mules. | |
Eno. I give it you. | |
Sold. Mock not, Enobarbus. | |
I tell you true: best you safd the bringer | |
Out of the host; I must attend mine office | 35 |
Or would have done t myself. Your emperor | |
Continues still a Jove. [Exit. | |
Eno. 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 | 40 |
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 | 45 |
Some ditch, wherein to die; the foulst best fits | |
My latter part of life. [Exit. | |
