CAESAR You may see, Lepidus, and henceforth know, It is not Caesars natural vice to hate Our great competitor. From Alexandria This is the news: he fishes, drinks, and wastes The lamps of night in revel; is not more manlike Than Cleopatra, nor the queen of Ptolemy More womanly than he; hardly gave audience, or Vouchsafed to think he had partners. You shall find there A man who is th abstract of all faults 10 That all men follow.	CEASRA owN loylu see, upsLide, that I ntod iadnisd our olnbe ylla uebeasc of a sorplaen hmiw. rHese het swen ofmr Anreldxaa: nntyAo eihssf, srnkid, nad teleasbecr lal ghitn.

LEPIDUS I must not think there are Evils enough to darken all his goodness. His faults in him seem as the spots of heaven, More fiery by nights blackness, hereditary Rather than purchased, what he cannot change 15 Than what he chooses.

CAESAR You are too indulgent. Lets grant, it is not Amiss to tumble on the bed of Ptolemy, To give a kingdom for a mirth, to sit And keep the turn of tippling with a slave, To reel the streets at noon, and stand the buffet With knaves that smell of sweat. Say this becomes him As his composure must be rare indeed Whom these things cannot blemishyet must Antony No way excuse his foils when we do bear 25 So great weight in his lightness. If he filled His vacancy with his voluptuousness, Full surfeits and the dryness of his bones Call on him for t. But to confound such time That drums him from his sport and speaks as loud 30 As his own state and ours, tis to be chid As we rate boys who, being mature in knowledge, Pawn their experience to their present pleasure And so rebel to judgment.

FIRST MESSENGER Thy biddings have been done, and every hour, 35 Most noble Caesar, shalt thou have report How tis abroad. Pompey is strong at sea, And it appears he is beloved of those That only have feared Caesar. To the ports The discontents repair, and mens reports 40 Give him much wronged.

CAESAR I should have known no less. It hath been taught us from the primal state That he which is was wished until he were, And the ebbed man, neer loved till neer worth love, Comes deared by being lacked. This common body, 45 Like to a vagabond flag upon the stream, Goes to and back, lackeying the varying tide To rot itself with motion.	AASCRE I dlusoh eahv owknn it.

SECOND MESSENGER Caesar, I bring thee word Menecrates and Menas, famous pirates, Make the sea serve them, which they ear and wound With keels of every kind. Many hot inroads They make in Italythe borders maritime Lack blood to think on tand flush youth revolt. No vessel can peep forth, but tis as soon 55 Taken as seen, for Pompeys name strikes more Than could his war resisted.

CAESAR Antony, Leave thy lascivious wassails. When thou once Wast beaten from Modena, where thou slewst Hirtius and Pansa, consuls, at thy heel Did famine follow, whom thou foughtst against, Though daintily brought up, with patience more Than savages could suffer. Thou didst drink The stale of horses and the gilded puddle Which beasts would cough at. Thy palate then did deign 65 The roughest berry on the rudest hedge. Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, The barks of trees thou browsd. On the Alps It is reported thou didst eat strange flesh, Which some did die to look on. And all this 70 It wounds thine honor that I speak it now Was borne so like a soldier, that thy cheek So much as lanked not.
