ANTONY My being in Egypt, Caesar, what was t to you?	AYTNON saareC, ahwt did my yast in Etypg vaeh to do ithw uoy?
CAESAR No more than my residing here at Rome Might be to you in Egypt. Yet if you there 45 Did practice on my state, your being in Egypt Might be my question.

ANTONY You do mistake your business. My brother never Did urge me in his act. I did inquire it, And have my learning from some true reports That drew their swords with you. Did he not rather 55 Discredit my authority with yours, And make the wars alike against my stomach, Having alike your cause? Of this my letters Before did satisfy you. If youll patch a quarrel, As matter whole you have to make it with, 60 It must not be with this.	NTAOYN orYeu aimnktse. My thrrbeo dnidt eus my emna to jitsufy shi lblenireo.

ANTONY Not so, not so. I know you could not lack, I am certain on t, Very necessity of this thought, that I, Your partner in the cause gainst which he fought, Could not with graceful eyes attend those wars Which fronted mine own peace. As for my wife, I would you had her spirit in such another. The third o th world is yours, which with a snaffle 70 You may pace easy, but not such a wife.

But next day I told him of myself, which was as much 85 As to have asked him pardon. Let this fellow Be nothing of our strife. If we contend, Out of our question wipe him.

As nearly as I may Ill play the penitent to you, but mine honesty 100 Shall not make poor my greatness nor my power Work without it. Truth is that Fulvia, To have me out of Egypt, made wars here, For which myself, the ignorant motive, do So far ask pardon as befits mine honor 105 To stoop in such a case.

AGRIPPA To hold you in perpetual amity, To make you brothers, and to knit your hearts 135 With an unslipping knot, take Antony Octavia to his wife, whose beauty claims No worse a husband than the best of men, Whose virtue and whose general graces speak That which none else can utter. By this marriage, 140 All little jealousies, which now seem great, And all great fears, which now import their dangers, Would then be nothing. Truths would be tales, Where now half-tales be truths. Her love to both Would each to other and all loves to both 145 Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke, For tis a studied, not a present thought, By duty ruminated.

ENOBARBUS I will tell you. The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne, Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold, Purple the sails, and so perfumd that The winds were lovesick with them. The oars were silver, Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made The water which they beat to follow faster, As amorous of their strokes. For her own person, It beggared all description: she did lie 210 In her pavilioncloth-of-gold, of tissue Oerpicturing that Venus where we see The fancy outwork nature. On each side her Stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids, With divers-colored fans, whose wind did seem To glow the delicate cheeks which they did cool, And what they undid did.

ENOBARBUS Her gentlewomen, like the Nereides, So many mermaids, tended her i th eyes, And made their bends adornings. At the helm 220 A seeming mermaid steers. The silken tackle Swell with the touches of those flower-soft hands That yarely frame the office. From the barge A strange invisible perfume hits the sense Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast 225 Her people out upon her, and Antony, Enthroned i th marketplace, did sit alone, Whistling to th air, which, but for vacancy, Had gone to gaze on Cleopatra too And made a gap in nature.

ENOBARBUS 230 Upon her landing, Antony sent to her, Invited her to supper. She replied It should be better he became her guest, Which she entreated. Our courteous Antony, Whom neer the word of No woman heard speak, Being barbered ten times oer, goes to the feast, And for his ordinary pays his heart For what his eyes eat only.

ENOBARBUS 245 Never. He will not. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety.

For her own person, It beggared all description: she did lie 210 In her pavilioncloth-of-gold, of tissue Oerpicturing that Venus where we see The fancy outwork nature.
