ALL Most heavy day!	ALL It’s a very sad day.
ANTONY Nay, good my fellows, do not please sharp fate To grace it with your sorrows. Bid that welcome 140Which comes to punish us, and we punish it, Seeming to bear it lightly. Take me up. I have led you oft; carry me now, good friends, And have my thanks for all.	ANTONY No, my friends, don’t please fate by giving it your sorrow as well. If we welcome our punishment, we punish it right back by seeming to take it lightly. Pick me up. I have often led you, now you must carry me, my good friends—and take my thanks for everything.
Exeunt, bearing ANTONY and the body of EROS	They exit, carrying ANTONY and EROS’ body.
