sever'd navy to Have knit again； and fleet； threat'ning most sea…like。 Where
hast thou been； my heart？ Dost thou hear； lady？ If from the field I shall
return once more To kiss these lips； I will appear in blood。 I and my sword
will earn our chronicle。 There's hope in't yet。 CLEOPATRA。 That's my
brave lord！ ANTONY。 I will be treble…sinew'd； hearted； breath'd； And fight
maliciously。 For when mine hours Were nice and lucky； men did ransom
lives Of me for jests； but now I'll set my teeth； And send to darkness all
that stop me。 Come； Let's have one other gaudy night。 Call to me All my
sad captains； fill our bowls once more； Let's mock the midnight bell。
CLEOPATRA。 It is my birthday。 I had thought t'have held it poor； but

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
since my lord Is Antony again； I will be Cleopatra。 ANTONY。 We will yet
do well。 CLEOPATRA。 Call all his noble captains to my lord。 ANTONY。
Do so； we'll speak to them； and to…night I'll force The wine peep through
their scars。 Come on； my queen； There's sap in't yet。 The next time I do
fight I'll make death love me； for I will contend Even with his pestilent
scythe。 Exeunt all but ENOBARBUS ENOBARBUS。 Now he'll outstare
the lightning。 To be furious Is to be frighted out of fear； and in that mood
The dove will peck the estridge； and I see still A diminution in our
captain's brain Restores his heart。 When valour preys on reason； It eats the
sword it fights with。 I will seek Some way to leave him。 Exit

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
SCENE I。 CAESAR'S camp before Alexandria
Enter CAESAR； AGRIPPA； and MAECENAS； with his army；
CAESAR reading a letter
CAESAR。 He calls me boy； and chides as he had power To beat me
out of Egypt。 My messenger He hath whipt with rods； dares me to
personal combat； Caesar to Antony。 Let the old ruffian know I have many
other ways to die； meantime Laugh at his challenge。 MAECENAS。 Caesar
must think When one so great begins to rage； he's hunted Even to falling。
Give him no breath； but now Make boot of his distraction。 Never anger
Made good guard for itself。 CAESAR。 Let our best heads Know that to…
morrow the last of many battles We mean to fight。 Within our files there
are Of those that serv'd Mark Antony but late Enough to fetch him in。 See
it done； And feast the army； we have store to do't； And they have earn'd
the waste。 Poor Antony！ Exeunt

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
SCENE II。 Alexandria。 CLEOPATRA's palace
Enter ANTONY； CLEOPATRA； ENOBARBUS； CHARMIAN； IRAS；
ALEXAS； with others
ANTONY。 He will not fight with me； Domitius？ ENOBARBUS。 No。
ANTONY。 Why should he not？ ENOBARBUS。 He thinks； being twenty
times of better fortune； He is twenty men to one。 ANTONY。 To…morrow；
soldier； By sea and land I'll fight。 Or I will live； Or bathe my dying honour
in the blood Shall make it live again。 Woo't thou fight well？
ENOBARBUS。 I'll strike； and cry 'Take all。' ANTONY。 Well said； come
on。 Call forth my household servants； let's to…night Be bounteous at our
meal。
Enter three or four servitors Give me thy hand； Thou has been rightly
honest。 So hast thou； Thou； and thou； and thou。 You have serv'd me well；
And kings have been your fellows。 CLEOPATRA。 ＇Aside to
ENOBARBUS＇ What means this？ ENOBARBUS。 ＇Aside to
CLEOPATRA＇ 'Tis one of those odd tricks which sorrow shoots Out of the
mind。 ANTONY。 And thou art honest too。 I wish I could be made so many
men； And all of you clapp'd up together in An Antony； that I might do you
service So good as you have done。 SERVANT。 The gods forbid！ ANTONY。
Well； my good fellows； wait on me to…night。 Scant not my cups； and make
as much of me As when mine empire was your fellow too； And suffer'd
my command。 CLEOPATRA。 ＇Aside to ENOBARBUS＇ What does he
mean？ ENOBARBUS。 ＇Aside to CLEOPATRA＇ To make his followers
weep。 ANTONY。 Tend me to…night； May be it is the period of your duty。
Haply you shall not see me more； or if； A mangled shadow。 Perchance to…
morrow You'll serve another master。 I look on you As one that takes his
leave。 Mine honest friends； I turn you not away； but； like a master Married
to your good service； stay till death。 Tend me to…night two hours； I ask no
more； And the gods yield you for't！ ENOBARBUS。 What mean you； sir；
To give them this discomfort？ Look； they weep； And I； an ass； am onion…
ey'd。 For shame！ Transform us not to women。 ANTONY。 Ho； ho； ho！ Now
the witch take me if I meant it thus！ Grace grow where those drops fall！
My hearty friends； You take me in too dolorous a sense； For I spake to you

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
for your comfort； did desire you To burn this night with torches。 Know；
my hearts； I hope well of to…morrow； and will lead you Where rather I'll
expect victorious life Than death and honour。 Let's to supper； come； And
drown consideration。 Exeunt

whom Antony lov'd； Now leaves him。 THIRD SOLDIER。 Walk； let's see if
other watchmen Do hear what we do。 SECOND SOLDIER。 How now；
masters！ SOLDIERS。 ＇Speaking together＇ How now！ How now！ Do you

far as we have quarter； Let's see how it will give off。 SOLDIERS。 Content。

warlike charge。 To business that we love we rise betime； And go to't with
delight。 SOLDIER。 A thousand； sir； Early though't be； have on their

within＇

morrow； General。 ANTONY。 'Tis 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。 Rebukeable； 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。
Exeunt ANTONY； EROS； CAPTAINS and soldiers CHARMIAN。 Please
you retire to your chamber？ CLEOPATRA。 Lead me。 He goes forth
gallantly。 That he and Caesar might Determine this great war in single

Trumpets sound。 Enter ANTONY and EROS； a SOLDIER meeting
them
SOLDIER。 The gods make this a happy day to Antony！ ANTONY。
Would thou and those thy scars had once prevail'd To make me fight at
land！ SOLDIER。 Hadst thou done so； The kings that have revolted； and
the soldier That has this morning left thee； would have still Followed thy
heels。 ANTONY。 Who's gone this morning？ SOLDIER。 Who？ One ever
