For Anthony, I have no ears to his request. The Queen, Of Audience, nor Desire shall fail, so she From Egypt drive her all-disgraced Friend, Or take his life there. This if she perform, She shall not sue unheard. So to them both. Fortune pursue thee. Bring him through the Bands: To try thy Eloquence, now 'tis time, dispatch, From Anthony win Cleopatra, promise And in our Name, what she requires, add more From thine invention, offers. Women are not In their best Fortunes strong; but want will perjure The ne'er touched Vestal. Try thy cunning Thidias, Make thine own Edict for thy pains, which we Will answer as a Law. Caesar, I go. Observe how Anthony becomes his flaw, And what thou thinkest his very action speaks In every power that moves. Caesar, I shall. What shall we do, Enobarbus? Think, and dye. Is Anthony, or we in fault for this? Anthony only, that would make his will Lord of his Reason. What though you fled, From that great face of War, whose several ranges Frighted each other? Why should he follow? The itch of his Affection should not then Have nicked his Captainship, at such a point, When half to half the world opposed, he being The meered question? 'Twas a shame no less Than was his loss, to coarse your flying Flags, And leave his Navy gazing. Prithee peace. Is that his answer? I my Lord. The Queen shall then have courtesy, So she will yield us up. He says so. Let her know't. To the Boy Caesar send this grizzled head, and he will fill thy wishes to the brim, With Principalities. That head my Lord? To him again, tell him he wears the Rose Of youth upon him: from which, the world should note Something particular: His Coin, Ships, Legions, May be a Cowards, whose Ministers would prevail Under the service of a Child, as soon As i' th' Command of Caesar. I dare him therefore To lay his gay Comparisons apart, And answer me declined, Sword against Sword, Ourselves alone: I'll write it: Fellow me. Yes like enough: hie battled Caesar will Vnstate his happiness, and be Staged to ' th' show Against a Sworder. I see men's judgements are A parcel of their Fortunes, and things outward Do draw the inward quality after them To suffer all alike, that he should dream, Knowing all measures the full Caesar will Answer his emptiness; Caesar thou hast subdued His judgement too. A Messenger from Caesar. What no more Ceremony? See my Women, Against the blown Rose may they stop their nose, That kneeled unto the Buds. Admit him sir. Mine honesty, and I, begin to square. The Loyalty well held to Fools, does make Our Faith mere folly: yet he that can endure To follow with Allegiance a fallen Lord, Does conquer him that did his Master conquer, And earns a place i' th' Story. Caesar's will. Hear it apart. None but Friends: say boldly. So haply are they Friends to Anthony.

Women are not In their beſt Fortunes ſtrong; but want will periure The ne're touch'd Veſtall. Try thy cunning Thidias, Make thine owne Edict for thy paines, which we Will anſwer as a Law. Caeſar, I go. Obſerue how Anthony becomes his flaw, And what thou think'ſt his very action ſpeakes In euery power that mooues. Caeſar, I ſhall. What ſhall we do, Enobarbus? Thinke, and dye. Is Anthony, or we in fault for this? Anthony onely, that would make his will Lord of his Reaſon. What though you fled, From that great face of Warre, whoſe ſeuerall ranges Frighted each other? Why ſhould he follow? The itch of his Affection ſhould not then Haue nickt his Captain-ſhip, at ſuch a point, When halfe to halfe the world oppos'd, he being The meered queſtion? 'Twas a ſhame no leſſe Then was his loſſe, to courſe your flying Flagges, And leaue his Nauy gazing. Prythee peace. Is that his anſwer? I my Lord.

A Meſſenger from Caeſar. What no more Ceremony? See my Women, Againſt the blowne Roſe may they ſtop their noſe, That kneel'd vnto the Buds. Admit him ſir. Mine honeſty, and I, beginne to ſquare. The Loyalty well held to Fooles, does make Our Faith meere folly: yet he that can endure To follow with Allegeance a falne Lord, Does conquer him that did his Maſter conquer, And earnes a place i' th' Story. Caeſars will. Heare it apart. None but Friends: ſay boldly. So haply are they Friends to Anthony.
