Then Antony-but now !-Well, on.

[Exeunt.

Cæs. The time of universal peace Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nooked world

Shall bear the olive freely.

Enter a Messenger.

Mess. Antony is come into the field.
Cæs. Go, charge Agrippa

Plant those that have revolted in the van,
That Antony may seem to spend his fury

Before the sun shall see us, we 'll spill the blood
That has to-day escaped. I thank you all;

1st Sol. Enobarbus !

3rd Sol. Peace: hark further.

Eno. O sovereign mistress of true melancholy, The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me, That life, a very rebel to my will,
