2.3.2Enter Antony, Caesar, Octavia between them. 964The world and my great office will
965sometimes
2.3.4Divide me from your bosom.
Divide me from your bosom. All which time,
2.3.5Before the Gods my knee shall
967bow my prayers
To them for you. Goodnight, sir. My Octavia,
2.3.7969Read not my blemishes in the world's report.
2.3.8970I have not kept my square, but that to come
2.3.9971Shall all be done by th'rule. Good night, dear lady.
Goodnight.
2.3.12[Exeunt Caesar and Octavia.] Now sirrah, you do wish yourself in Egypt?
Would I had never come from thence, nor you
Gonethither. If you can, your reason?
Gonethither. If you can, your reason? 979SoothsayerI see
It in my motion, have it not in my tongue.
But yet hie you to Egypt again. Say to me
2.3.18Whose fortunes shall rise higher:
982Caesar's or mine?
Caesar's.
2.3.20Therefore, O Antony, stay not by his side.
2.3.21984Thy daemon, that thy spirit which keeps thee, is
2.3.22985Noble, courageous, high, unmatchable,
2.3.23986Where Caesar's is not. But near him thy angel
2.3.24987Becomes afeared, as being o'er-powered. Therefore
Make space enough between you. Speak this no more.
To none but thee; no more but when to thee.
2.3.27991If thou dost play with him at any game,
2.3.28992Thou art sure to lose. And of that natural luck,
2.3.29993He beats thee 'gainst the odds. Thy lustre thickens
2.3.30994When he shines by. I say again, thy spirit
2.3.31995Is all afraid to govern thee near him,
But he away 'tis noble. Get thee gone.
2.3.33998Say to Ventidius I would speak with him.
Exit [Soothsayer].
He shall to Parthia. Be it art or hap,
2.3.351000He hath spoken true. The very dice obey him,
2.3.361001And in our sports my better cunning faints
2.3.371002Under his chance. If we draw lots he speeds;
2.3.381003His cocks do win the battle still of mine,
2.3.391004When it is all to naught; and his quails ever
2.3.401005Beat mine, inhooped, at odds. I will to Egypt;
2.3.411006And though I make this marriage for my peace,
I'th'East my pleasure lies. Oh, come Ventidius.
2.3.431009You must to Parthia. Your commission's ready.
