Alarum. Enter ENOBARBUS	Trumpets sound a retreat. ENOBARBUS enters.
ENOBARBUS Naught, naught, all naught! I can behold no longer. Th’ Antoniad, the Egyptian admiral, With all their sixty, fly and turn the rudder. To see ’t mine eyes are blasted.	ENOBARBUS We’re ruined, ruined, ruined! I can’t watch any more. The Egyptian flagship, the Antoniad, followed by all sixty Egyptian ships, has turned and fled. It destroyed my eyes to look upon it.
Enter SCARUS	SCARUS enters.
SCARUS Gods and goddesses, 5All the whole synod of them!	SCARUS Gods and goddesses—the whole congregation of them!
ENOBARBUS What’s thy passion?	ENOBARBUS What’s wrong with you?
SCARUS The greater cantle of the world is lost With very ignorance. We have kissed away Kingdoms and provinces.	SCARUS We have lost a major portion of the world through utter foolishness. We have kissed away entire kingdoms and provinces.
ENOBARBUS How appears the fight?	ENOBARBUS How goes the battle?
SCARUS On our side like the tokened pestilence, 10Where death is sure. Yon ribaudred nag of Egypt— Whom leprosy o’ertake!—i’ th’ midst o’ th’ fight, When vantage like a pair of twins appeared Both as the same, or rather ours the elder, The breeze upon her, like a cow in June, 15Hoists sails and flies.	SCARUS Our side shows all the signs of certain defeat, which appear like the symptomatic sores of the plague. Right in the middle of the fight, just when the battle could have gone either way—actually we had a slight advantage—that immoral Egyptian nag—May she die of leprosy!—suddenly became frightened, and turned her ships around and fled.
ENOBARBUS That I beheld. Mine eyes did sicken at the sight and could not Endure a further view.	ENOBARBUS I saw that. The sight made me so sick I couldn’t watch any more.
