＇Dies＇ FIRST WATCH。 Let's speak to him。 CENTURION。 Let's hear him；
for the things he speaks May concern Caesar。 SECOND WATCH。 Let's do
so。 But he sleeps。 CENTURION。 Swoons rather； for so bad a prayer as his
Was never yet for sleep。 FIRST WATCH。 Go we to him。 SECOND
WATCH。 Awake； sir； awake； speak to us。 FIRST WATCH。 Hear you； sir？
CENTURION。 The hand of death hath raught him。 ＇Drums afar off ＇ Hark！
the drums Demurely wake the sleepers。 Let us bear him To th' court of
guard； he is of note。 Our hour Is fully out。 SECOND WATCH。 Come on；
then； He may recover yet。 Exeunt with the body

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
SCENE X。 Between the two camps
Enter ANTONY and SCARUS； with their army
ANTONY。 Their preparation is to…day by sea； We please them not by
land。 SCARUS。 For both； my lord。 ANTONY。 I would they'd fight i' th'
fire or i' th' air； We'd fight there too。 But this it is； our foot Upon the hills
adjoining to the city Shall stay with us… Order for sea is given； They have
put forth the haven… Where their appointment we may best discover And
look on their endeavour。 Exeunt

And hold our best advantage。 Exeunt

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
SCENE XII。 A hill near Alexandria
Enter ANTONY and SCARUS
ANTONY。 Yet they are not join'd。 Where yond pine does stand I shall
discover all。 I'll bring thee word Straight how 'tis like to go。 Exit SCARUS。
Swallows have built In Cleopatra's sails their nests。 The augurers Say they
know not； they cannot tell； look grimly； And dare not speak their
knowledge。 Antony Is valiant and dejected； and by starts His fretted
fortunes give him hope and fear Of what he has and has not。 ＇Alarum afar
off； as at a sea…fight＇
Re…enter ANTONY
ANTONY。 All is lost！ This foul Egyptian hath betrayed me。 My fleet
hath yielded to the foe； and yonder They cast their caps up and carouse
together Like friends long lost。 Triple…turn'd whore！ 'tis thou Hast sold me
to this novice； and my heart Makes only wars on thee。 Bid them all fly；
For when I am reveng'd upon my charm； I have done all。 Bid them all fly；
begone。 Exit SCARUS O sun； thy uprise shall I see no more！ Fortune and
Antony part here； even here Do we shake hands。 All come to this？ The
hearts That spaniel'd me at heels； to whom I gave Their wishes； do
discandy； melt their sweets On blossoming Caesar； and this pine is bark'd
That overtopp'd them all。 Betray'd I am。 O this false soul of Egypt！ this
grave charm… Whose eye beck'd forth my wars and call'd them home；
Whose bosom was my crownet； my chief end… Like a right gypsy hath at
fast and loose Beguil'd me to the very heart of loss。 What； Eros； Eros！
Enter CLEOPATRA
Ah； thou spell！ Avaunt！ CLEOPATRA。 Why is my lord enrag'd
against his love？ ANTONY。 Vanish； or I shall give thee thy deserving And
blemish Caesar'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 shown For poor'st diminutives； for doits； and let
Patient Octavia plough thy visage up With her prepared nails。 Exit
CLEOPATRA 'Tis well th'art gone； If it be well to live； but better 'twere
Thou fell'st into my fury； for one death Might have prevented many。 Eros；
ho！ The shirt of Nessus is upon me； teach me； Alcides； thou mine ancestor；

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
thy rage； Let me lodge Lichas on the horns o' th' moon； And with those
hands that grasp'd the heaviest club Subdue my worthiest self。 The witch
shall die。 To the young Roman boy she hath sold me； and I fall Under this
plot。 She dies for't。 Eros； ho！ Exit

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
SCENE XIII。 Alexandria。 CLEOPATRA's palace
Enter CLEOPATRA； CHARMIAN； IRAS； and MARDIAN
CLEOPATRA。 Help me； my women。 O； he is more mad Than
Telamon for his shield； the boar of Thessaly Was never so emboss'd。
CHARMIAN。 To th'monument！ There lock yourself； and send him word
you are dead。 The soul and body rive not more in parting Than greatness
going off。 CLEOPATRA。 To th' monument！ Mardian； go tell him I have
slain myself； Say that the last I spoke was 'Antony' And word it； prithee；
piteously。 Hence； Mardian； And bring me how he takes my death。 To th'
monument！ Exeunt

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
SCENE XIV。 CLEOPATRA'S palace
Enter ANTONY and EROS
ANTONY。 Eros； thou yet behold'st me？ EROS。 Ay； noble lord。
ANTONY。 Sometime we see a cloud that's dragonish； A vapour sometime
like a bear or lion； A tower'd citadel； a pendent rock； A forked mountain；
or blue promontory With trees upon't that nod unto the world And mock
our eyes with air。 Thou hast seen these signs； They are black vesper's
pageants。 EROS。 Ay； my lord。 ANTONY。 That which is now a horse； even
with a thought The rack dislimns； and makes it indistinct； As water is in
water。 EROS。 It does； my lord。 ANTONY。 My good knave Eros； now thy
captain is Even such a body。 Here I am Antony； Yet cannot hold this
visible shape； my knave。 I made these wars for Egypt； and the Queen…
Whose heart I thought I had； for she had mine； Which； whilst it was mine；
had annex'd unto't A million moe； now lost… she； Eros； has Pack'd cards
with Caesar； and false…play'd my glory Unto an enemy's triumph。 Nay；
weep not； gentle Eros； there is left us Ourselves to end ourselves。
Enter MARDIAN
O； thy vile lady！ She has robb'd me of my sword。 MARDIAN。 No；
Antony； My mistress lov'd thee； and her fortunes mingled With thine
entirely。 ANTONY。 Hence； saucy
