That's our offer. Know then I came before you here, A man prepared To take this offer. But Mark Anthony, Put me to some impatience: though I lose The praise of it by telling. You must know When Caesar and your Brother were at blows, Your Mother came to Cicelie, and did find Her welcome Friendly. I have heard it Pompey. And am well studied for a liberal thanks, Which I do own you. Let me have your hand: I did not think Sir, to have met you here, The beds i' th' East are soft, and thanks to you, That called me timelier than my purpose hither: For I have gamed by't. Since I saw you last, there's a change upon you. Well, I know not, What counts harsh Fortune casts upon my face, But in my bosom shall she never come, To make my heart her vassal. Well met here. I hope so Lepidus, thus we are agreed: I crave our composion may be written And sealed between us, That's the next to do. we'll feast each other, ere we part, and let's Draw lots who shall begin. That will I Pompey. No Anthony take the lot: but first or last, your fine Egyptian cookery shall have the same, I have heard that Iulius Caesar, grew fat with feasting there. You have heard much. I have fair meaning Sir. And fair words to them. Then so much have I heard, And I have heard Appolodorus carried— No more that: he did so. What I pray you? A certain Queen to Caesar in a Matris. I know thee now, how farest thou Soldier? Well, and well am like to do, for I perceive Four Feasts are toward. Let me shake thy hand, I never hated thee: I have seen thee fight, When I have envied thy behaviour. Sir, I never loved you much, but I ha' praised ye, When you have well deserved ten times as much, As I have said you did. Enjoy thy plainness, It nothing ill becomes thee: Aboard my Galley, I invite you all. Will you lead Lords? Shows the way, sir. Come. Thy Father Pompey would ne'er have made this Treaty. You, and I have known sir. At Sea, I think. We have Sir. You have done well by water. And you by Land. I will praise any man that will praise me, though it cannot be denied what I have done by Land. Nor what I have done by water. Yes something you can deny for your own safety: you have been a great Thief by Sea. And you by Land. There I deny my Land service: but give me your hand Menas, if our eyes had authority, here they might take two thieves kissing. All men's faces are true, whatsomere their hands are. But there is never a fair Woman, has a true Face. No slander, they steal hearts. We came hither to fight with you.

That's our offer. Know then I came before you heere, A man prepar'd To take this offer. But Marke Anthony, Put me to ſome impatience: though I looſe The praiſe of it by telling. You muſt know When Caeſar and your Brother were at blowes, Your Mother came to Cicelie, and did finde Her welcome Friendly. I haue heard it Pompey. And am well ſtudied for a liberall thanks, Which I do owe you. Let me haue your hand: I did not thinke Sir, to haue met you heere, The beds i' th' Eaſt are ſoft, and thanks to you, That cal'd me timelier then my purpoſe hither: For I haue gamed by't. Since I ſaw you laſt, ther's a change vpon you. Well, I know not, What counts harſh Fotune caſt's vpon my face, But in my boſome ſhall ſhe neuer come, To make my heart her vaſſaile. Well met heere. I hope ſo Lepidus, thus we are agreed: I craue our compoſion may be written And ſeal'd betweene vs, That's the next to do. Weele feaſt each other, ere we part, and lett's Draw lots who ſhall begin. That will I Pompey. No Anthony take the lot: but firſt or laſt, your fine Egyptian cookerie ſhall haue the ſame, I haue heard that Iulius Caeſar, grew fat with feaſting there. You haue heard much. I haue faire meaning Sir. And faire words to them. Then ſo much haue I heard, And I haue heard Appolodorus carried— No more that: he did ſo. What I pray you? A certaine Queene to Caeſar in a Matris. I know thee now, how far'ſt thou Souldier? Well, and well am like to do, for I perceiue Foure Feaſts are toward. Let me ſhake thy hand, I neuer hated thee: I haue ſeene thee fight, When I haue enuied thy behauiour. Sir, I neuer lou'd you much, but I ha' prais'd ye, When you haue well deſeru'd ten times as much, As I haue ſaid you did. Inioy thy plainneſſe, It nothing ill becomes thee: Aboord my Gally, I inuite you all. Will you leade Lords? Shew's the way, ſir. Come. Thy Father Pompey would ne're haue made this Treaty. You, and I haue knowne ſir. At Sea, I thinke. We haue Sir. You haue done well by water. And you by Land. I will praiſe any man that will praiſe me, thogh it cannot be denied what I haue done by Land. Nor what I haue done by water. Yes ſome-thing you can deny for your owne ſafety: you haue bin a great Theefe by Sea. And you by Land. There I deny my Land ſeruice: but giue mee your hand Menas, if our eyes had authority, heere they might take two Theeues kiſſing. All mens faces are true, whatſomere their hands are. But there is neuer a fayre Woman, ha's a true Face. No ſlander, they ſteale hearts. We came hither to fight with you.
