Alarum. Drums and trumpets. Enter AGRIPPA and others
|
A call to battle is sounded. Drums and trumpets sound. AGRIPPA and other soldiers of Caesar’s enter.
|
AGRIPPA Retire! We have engaged ourselves too far.
Caesar himself has work, and our oppression
Exceeds what we expected.
|
AGRIPPA Retreat! We’ve advanced too far. Caesar himself is in trouble and there are more adversaries than we expected.
|
Exeunt | They exit. |
Alarums. Enter ANTONY , and SCARUS , wounded
|
A battle call. ANTONY enters with SCARUS , who is wounded.
|
SCARUS O my brave Emperor, this is fought indeed!
With clouts about their heads.
|
SCARUS Oh, my brave Emperor, this is what I call a fight! If we’d fought like this before, we’d have driven them home with bandaged heads.
|
ANTONY Thou bleed’st apace.
|
ANTONY You’re bleeding a lot.
|
SCARUS I had a wound here that was like a “T,”
But now ’tis made an “H.”
|
SCARUS I had a scar here that looked like a “T”; now it’s an “H.”
|
Sound retreat far off
|
Distant trumpets sound the retreat.
|
ANTONY They do retire.
|
ANTONY They’re retreating.
|
SCARUS We’ll beat ’em into bench-holes. I have yet
10 Room for six scotches more.
|
SCARUS We’ll chase ’em into their latrines. I still have room for six more wounds.
|
Enter EROS
|
EROS enters.
|
EROS They are beaten, sir, and our advantage serves
For a fair victory.
|
EROS They’re retreating, sir, and our superiority indicates a clear victory.
|
SCARUS Let us score their backs
And snatch ’em up, as we take hares, behind!
’Tis sport to maul a runner.
|
SCARUS Let’s slash their backs and grab ’em like we do rabbits, from behind. It’s fair game to mark a coward.
|
ANTONY I will reward thee
15 Once for thy sprightly comfort and tenfold
For thy good valor. Come thee on.
|
ANTONY I’ll reward you once for your cheerfulness and ten times for your courage. Come on.
|
SCARUS I’ll halt after.
|
SCARUS I’ll limp after you.
|
Exeunt | They exit. |
