A workman in 't.-Good morrow to thee; welcome:
Thou look'st like him that knows a warlike charge.
To business that we love we rise betime,
And go to 't with delight.
Early though 't be, have on their riveted trim,
And at the port expect you. [Shout. Trumpets flourish.
Enter Captains, and Soldiers.
Capt. The morn is fair.-Good morrow,
All. Good morrow, general.
'T is 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. Rebukable,
And worthy shameful check 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.
Most certain.
Ant. 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 :-despatch.-Enobarbus!
SCENE VI. CESAR'S Camp before Alexandria. Flourish. Enter CESAR, with AGRIPPA, ENOBARBUS, and others.
Cas. Go forth, Agrippa, and begin the fight.
Our will is. Antony be took alive;
Go; charge Agrippa
Plant those that have revolted in the van,
That Antony may seem to spend his fury
Upon himself.
[Exeunt all but ENOBAR BUS.
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
Cæsar 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,
[Kisses her. That I will joy no more.
[Exeunt ANTONY, EROS, Officers, and Soldiers. Char. Please you, retire to your chamber. Cleo.
Enter a Soldier of CESAR's.
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
Unloading of his mules.
He goes forth gallantly. That he and Cæsar might
Determine this great war in single fight!
Then, Antony,—but now,—well, on.
SCENE V.-ANTONY'S Camp near Alexandria. Trumpets sound. Enter ANTONY and EROS; a Soldier meeting them
Sold. The gods make this a happy day to Antony!
I give it you.
Sold. 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 Soldier.
Eno. I am alone the villain of the earth,
And feel I am so most.-0 Antony !
Thou mine of bounty, how wouldst thou have paid
