LEPIDUS Be pleased to tell us--
For this is from the present--how you take
The offers we have sent you.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR There's the point.
MARK ANTONY Which do not be entreated to, but weigh
What it is worth embraced.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR And what may follow,
To try a larger fortune.
POMPEY You have made me offer
Of Sicily, Sardinia; and I must
Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send
Measures of wheat to Rome; this 'greed upon
To part with unhack'd edges, and bear back
Our targes undinted.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR |
|
MARK ANTONY | That's our offer.

LEPIDUS |
POMPEY Know, then,
I came before you here a man prepared
To take this offer: but Mark Antony
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 Sicily and did find
Her welcome friendly.
MARK ANTONY I have heard it, Pompey;
And am well studied for a liberal thanks
Which I do owe you.
POMPEY Let me have your hand:
I did not think, sir, to have met you here.
