Wilt please you hear me? I have a mind to strike thee ere thou speakest: Yet if thou say Anthony lives, 'tis well, Or friends with Caesar, or not Captive to him, I'll set thee in a shower of Gold, and hail Rich Pearls upon thee. Madam, he's well. Well said. And Friends with Caesar. Th' art an honest man. Caesar, and he, are greater Friends than ever. Make thee a Fortune from me. But yet Madam. I do not like but yet, it does allay The good precedence, fie upon but yet, Bur yet is as a Iaylor to bring foorth Some monstrous Malefactor. Prithee Friend, Pour out the pack of matter to mine ear, The good and bad together: he's friends with Caesar, In state of health thou sayst, and thou sayst, free. Free Madam, no: I made no such report, He's bound unto Octavia. For what good turn? For the best turn i' th' bed. I am pale Charmian. Madam, he's married to Octavia. The most infectious Pestilence upon thee. Good Madam patience. What say you? Hence horrible Villain, or I 'll spurn thine eyes Like balls before me: I'll vnhaire thy head, Thou shalt be whipped with Wyer, and stewed in brine, Smarting in lingering pickle. Gracious Madam, I that do bring the news, made not the match. Say 'tis not so, a Province I will give thee, And make thy Fortune's proud: the blow thou hadst Shall make thy peace, for moving me to rage, And I will boot thee with what gift beside Thy modesty can beg. He's married Madam. Rogue, thou hast lived too long. Nay then I'll run: What mean you Madam, I have made no fault. Good Madam keep yourself within yourself, The man is innocent. Some Innocents scape not the thunderbolt: Melt Egypt into Nile: and kindly creatures Turn all to Serpents. Call the slave again, Though I am mad, I will not bite him: Call? He is afeard to come. I will not hurt him, These hands do lack Nobility, that they strike A meaner than myself: since I myself Have given myself the cause. Come hither Sir. Though it be honest, it is never good To bring bad news: give to a gracious Message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves, when they be felt. I have done my duty. Is he married? I cannot hate thee worse than I do, If thou again say yes. He's married Madam. The Gods confound thee, Dost thou hold there still? Should I lie Madame? Oh, I would thou didst: So halfe my Egypt were submerged and made A Cistern for scaled Snakes. Go get thee hence, Hadst thou Narcissus in thy face to me, Thou wouldst appear most ugly: He is married? I crave your highness' pardon. He is married?
