Act 4, Scene 5

ANTONY'S camp near Alexandria.

  1. [Trumpets sound within. Enter ANTONY and EROS; a SOLDIER meeting them.]
  2. Soldier
  3. 2475 The gods make this a happy day to Antony!
  4. Mark Antony
  5. 2476 Would thou and those thy scars had once prevail'd
  6. 2477 To make me fight at land!
  7. Soldier
  8. 2478 Hadst thou done so,
  9. 2479 The kings that have revolted, and the soldier
  10. 2480 That has this morning left thee, would have still
  11. 2481 Follow'd thy heels.
  12. Mark Antony
  13. 2482 Who's gone this morning?
  14. Soldier
  15. 2483 Who.
  16. 2484 One ever near thee. Call for Enobarbus,
  17. 2485 He shall not hear thee; or from Caesar's camp
  18. 2486 Say 'I am none of thine.'
  19. Mark Antony
  20. 2487 What say'st thou?
  21. Soldier
  22. 2488 Sir,
  23. 2489 He is with Caesar.
  24. Eros
  25. 2490 Sir, his chests and treasure
  26. 2491 He has not with him.
  27. Mark Antony
  28. 2492 Is he gone?
  29. Soldier
  30. 2493 Most certain.
  31. Mark Antony
  32. 2494 Go, Eros, send his treasure after; do it;
  33. 2495 Detain no jot, I charge thee; write to him—
  34. 2496 I will subscribe,—gentle adieus and greetings;
  35. 2497 Say that I wish he never find more cause
  36. 2498 To change a master.—O, my fortunes have
  37. 2499 Corrupted honest men!—Eros, despatch.
  38. [Exeunt.]
