Come, my good fellow, put thine iron on :-
If fortune be not ours to-day, it is
Because we brave her.-Come.

Cleo. Nay, I'll help too.

What's this for?

Ant. Ab, let be, let be! thou art

The armourer of my heart:-False, false; this, this. Cleo. Sooth, la, I'll help: thus it must be.

Ant. Well, well;

We shall thrive now.-See'st thou, my good fellow! Go, put on my defences.

Eros. Briefly, Sir.

Cleo. Is not this buckled well?,

Ant. Rarely, rarely:

He that unbuckles this, till we do please

To doff't for our repose, shall hear a storm.Thou fumblest, Eros; and my queen's a squire More tight at this, than thou: despatch.-O love, That thou couldst see my wars to-day, and knew'st The royal occupation! thou shouldst see

Cas. Go, charge Agrippa

Eno. Alexas did revolt; and went to Jewry,
On affairs of Antony; there did persuade
Great Herod to incline himself to Cæsar,
And leave his master Antony: for this pains,
Cæsar hath hang'd him. Canidius, and the rest
That fell away, have entertainment, but
No honourable trust. I have done ill;
Of which I do accuse myself to sorely,
That I will joy no more.

Enter a SOLDIER of Casar's.

Sold. Enobarbus, Antony

Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with
His bounty overplus: the messenger
Came on my guard; and at thy tent is now,
Unloading of his mules.

Eno. I give it you.

Sold. Mock me not, Enobarbus.

I tell you true: best that you safed the bringer
Out of the host; I must attend mine office,
Or would have done't myself. Your emperor
Continues still a Jove.

Had we done so at first, we had driven them home With clouts about their heads.

Ant. Thou bleed'st apace.

Scar. I had a wound here that was like a T, But now 'tis made an H.

Ant. They do retire.

Scar. We'll beat 'em into bench-holes ; I have yet Room for six scotches+ more.

Enter EROS.

Eros. They are beaten, Sir; and our advantage

For a fair victory.

Scar. Let us score their backs,

And snatch 'em up, as we take hares, behind;

'Tis sport to maul a runner.

Ant. I will reward thee

Once for thy spritely comfort, and ten-fold
For thy good valour. Come thee on.

Cleo. Lord of lords!

Ant. My nightingale,

A brain that nourishes our nerves, and can
Get goal for goal of youth. Behold this man;
Commend unto his lips thy favouring hand;-
Kiss it, my warrior :-He hath fought to-day,
As if a god, in hate of mankind, had
Destroy'd in such a shape.

Cleo. I'll give thee, friend,

Cleo. Why is my lord enraged against his love?
Ant. Vanish; or I shall give thee thy deserving,
And blemish Cæsar's triumph. Let him take thee,
And hoist thee up to the shouting plebeians:
Follow his chariot, like the greatest spot
Of all thy sex; most monster-like, be shewn
For poor'st diminutives, to dolts; and let

Ant. Eros, thou yet behold'st me?
Eros. Ay, noble lord.

Ant. Sometime, we see a cloud that's dragonish;
