1918Cleo. I haue sixty Sailes, Caesar none better.

1919Ant. Our ouer-plus of shipping will we burne,

1920And with the rest full mann'd, from th'head of Action

1921Beate th'approaching Caesar. But if we faile,

1922We then can doo't at Land. Enter a Messenger.

1923Thy Businesse?

1924Mes. The Newes is true, my Lord, he is descried,

1925Caesar ha's taken Toryne.

1926Ant, Can he be there in person? 'Tis impossible

1927Strange, that his power should be. Camidius,

1928Our nineteene Legions thou shalt hold by Land,

1929And our twelue thousand Horse. Wee'l to our Ship,

1930Away my Thetis.

1932How now worthy Souldier?

1933Soul. Oh Noble Emperor, do not fight by Sea,

1934Trust not to rotten plankes: Do you misdoubt

1935This Sword, and these my Wounds; let th'Egyptians

1936And the Phoenicians go a ducking: wee

1937Haue vs'd to conquer standing on the earth,

1938And fighting foot to foot.

1939Ant. Well, well, away. exit Ant. Cleo. & Enob.

1940Soul. By Hercules I thinke I am i'th' right.

1941Cam. Souldier thou art: but his whole action growes

1942Not in the power on't: so our Leaders leade,

1943And we are Womens men.

1944Soul. You keepe by Land the Legions and the Horse

1945whole, do you not?

1946Ven. Marcus Octauius, Marcus Iusteus,

1947Publicola, and Celius, are for Sea:

1948But we keepe whole by Land. This speede of Caesars

1949Carries beyond beleefe.

1950Soul. While he was yet in Rome,

1951His power went out in such distractions,

1952As beguilde all Spies.

1953Cam. Who's his Lieutenant, heare you?

1954Soul. They say, one Towrus.

1955Cam. Well, I know the man.

1957Mes. The Emperor cals Camidius.

1958Cam. With Newes the times with Labour,

1959And throwes forth each minute, some. exeunt

1961Caes. Towrus?

1962Tow. My Lord.

1963Caes. Strike not by Land,

1964Keepe whole, prouoke not Battaile

1965Till we haue done at Sea. Do not exceede

1966The Prescript of this Scroule: Our fortune lyes

1967Vpon this iumpe. exit.

1969Ant. Set we our Squadrons on yond side o'th'Hill,

1970In eye of Caesars battaile, from which place

1971We may the number of the Ships behold,

1972And so proceed accordingly. exit.

1977Eno. Naught, naught, al naught, I can behold no longer:

1978Thantoniad, the Egyptian Admirall,

1979With all their sixty flye, and turne the Rudder:

1980To see't, mine eyes are blasted.

1982Scar. Gods, & Goddesses, all the whol synod of them!

1983Eno. What's thy passion.

1984Scar. The greater Cantle of the world, is lost

1985With very ignorance, we haue kist away

1986Kingdomes, and Prouinces.

1987Eno. How appeares the Fight?

1988Scar. On our side, like the Token'd Pestilence,

1989Where death is sure. Yon ribaudred Nagge of Egypt,

1990(Whom Leprosie o're-take) i'th'midst o'th'fight,

1991When vantage like a payre of Twinnes appear'd

1992Both as the same, or rather ours the elder;

1993(The Breeze vpon her) like a Cow in Inne,

1994Hoists Sailes, and flyes.

1995Eno. That I beheld:

1996Mine eyes did sicken at the sight, and could not

1997Indure a further view.

1998Scar. She once being looft,

1999The Noble ruine of her Magicke, Anthony,

2000Claps on his Sea-wing, and (like a doting Mallard)

2001Leauing the Fight in heighth, flyes after her:

2002I neuer saw an Action of such shame;

2003Experience, Man-hood, Honor, ne're before,

2004Did violate so it selfe.

2005Enob. Alacke, alacke.

2007Cam. Our Fortune on the Sea is out of breath,

2008And sinkes most lamentably. Had our Generall

2009Bin what he knew himselfe, it had gone well:

2010Oh his ha's giuen example for our flight,

2011Most grossely by his owne.

2012Enob. I, are you thereabouts? Why then goodnight

2013indeede.

2014Cam. Toward Peloponnesus are they fled.

2015Scar. 'Tis easie toot,

2016And there I will attend what further comes.

2017Camid. To Caesar will I render

2018My Legions and my Horse, sixe Kings alreadie

2019Shew me the way of yeelding.

2020Eno. Ile yet follow

2021The wounded chance of Anthony, though my reason

2022Sits in the winde against me.

2024Ant. Hearke, the Land bids me tread no more vpon't,

2025It is asham'd to beare me. Friends, come hither,

2026I am so lated in the world, that I

2027Haue lost my way for euer. I haue a shippe,

2028Laden with Gold, take that, diuide it: flye,

2029And make your peace with Caesar.

2030Omnes. Fly? Not wee.

2031Ant. I haue fled my selfe, and haue instructed cowards

2032To runne, and shew their shoulders. Friends be gone,

2033I haue my selfe resolu'd vpon a course,

2034Which has no neede of you. Be gone,

2035My Treasure's in the Harbour. Take it: Oh,

2036I follow'd that I blush to looke vpon,

2037My very haires do mutiny: for the white

2038Reproue the browne for rashnesse, and they them

2039For feare, and doting. Friends be gone, you shall

2040Haue Letters from me to some Friends, that will

2041Sweepe your way for you. Pray you looke not sad,

2042Nor make replyes of loathnesse, take the hint

2043Which my dispaire proclaimes. Let them be left

2044Which leaues it selfe, to the Sea-side straight way;

2045I will possesse you of that ship and Treasure.
