Shakespeare, William

"Antony And Cleopatra"


LEPIDUS Time calls upon's:
Of us must Pompey presently be sought,
Or else he seeks out us.
MARK ANTONY Where lies he?
OCTAVIUS CAESAR About the mount Misenum.
MARK ANTONY What is his strength by land?
OCTAVIUS CAESAR Great and increasing: but by sea
He is an absolute master.
MARK ANTONY So is the fame.
Would we had spoke together! Haste we for it:
Yet, ere we put ourselves in arms, dispatch we
The business we have talk'd of.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR With most gladness:
And do invite you to my sister's view,
Whither straight I'll lead you.
MARK ANTONY Let us, Lepidus,
Not lack your company.
LEPIDUS Noble Antony,
Not sickness should detain me.
[Flourish. Exeunt OCTAVIUS CAESAR, MARK ANTONY,
and LEPIDUS]
MECAENAS Welcome from Egypt, sir.
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS Half the heart of Caesar, worthy Mecaenas! My
honourable friend, Agrippa!
AGRIPPA Good Enobarbus!
MECAENAS We have cause to be glad that matters are so well
digested. You stayed well by 't in Egypt.
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS Ay, sir; we did sleep day out of countenance, and
made the night light with drinking.
