 O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,

 4.10.162711That life, a very rebel to my will,

 4.10.182713Against the flint and hardness of my fault,
 4.10.192714Which being dried with grief will break to powder
 4.10.202715And finish all foul thoughts. Oh Antony,
 4.10.212716Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
 4.10.222717Forgive me in thine own particular,

 Hear you, sir?  The hand of death hath raught him.
 4.10.342731Drums afar off.
 4.10.352732Hark, the drums demurely wake the sleepers.
 4.10.362733Let us bear him to'th'court of guard;
 4.10.37He is of note. 2734Our hour is fully out.
 4.10.382735Second Watch
 Come on, then. He may recover yet.
