    Anthony and Cleopatra (Modern)

    [2.4]
    Enter Lepidus, Maecenas, and Agrippa.
    Lepidus
    Trouble yourselves no further. Pray you hasten
    Your generals after.
    Agrippa
    Sir, Mark Antony
    Will e'en but kiss Octavia, 1015and we'll follow.
    Lepidus
    Till I shall see you in your soldier's dress,
    Which will become you both, farewell.
    Maecenas
    We shall,
    As I conceive the journey, be at the Mount
    Before you, Lepidus.
    1020Lepidus
    Your way is shorter:
    My purposes do draw me much about.
    You'll win two days upon me.
    Maecenas and Agrippa
    Sir, good success.
    Lepidus
    Farewell.
    Exeunt [Lepidus at one door, Maecenas and Agrippa at another door].
