LEPIDUS 'Tis pity of him.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR Let his shames quickly
Drive him to Rome: 'tis time we twain
Did show ourselves i' the field; and to that end
Assemble we immediate council: Pompey
Thrives in our idleness.
LEPIDUS To-morrow, Caesar,
I shall be furnish'd to inform you rightly
Both what by sea and land I can be able
To front this present time.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR Till which encounter,
It is my business too. Farewell.
LEPIDUS Farewell, my lord: what you shall know meantime
Of stirs abroad, I shall beseech you, sir,
To let me be partaker.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR Doubt not, sir;
I knew it for my bond.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
ACT I
SCENE V Alexandria. CLEOPATRA's palace.
[Enter CLEOPATRA, CHARMIAN, IRAS, and MARDIAN]
CLEOPATRA Charmian!
CHARMIAN Madam?
CLEOPATRA Ha, ha!
Give me to drink mandragora.
CHARMIAN Why, madam?
CLEOPATRA That I might sleep out this great gap of time
My Antony is away.
CHARMIAN You think of him too much.
CLEOPATRA O, 'tis treason!
CHARMIAN Madam, I trust, not so.
