No, to my cabin. These drums! these trumpets, flutes! what! Let Neptune hear, we bid a loud farewell To these great fellows: sound, and be hang'd! sound out! Eno. Hoo, says 'a! — There's my cap. [A flourish. Men. Hoo!-noble Captain! come. [Exeunt. ACT III. SCENE 1. A Plain in Syria. Enter VENTIDIUS, as it were in triumph, with SILIUS, and other Romans, Officers, and Soldiers; the dead body of PACORUS borne before him. VENTIDIUS. NOW, darting Parthia, art thou struck; and now Pleas'd fortune does of Marcus Crassus' death Make me revenger. Bear the King's son's body Thy Pacorus, Orodes, Before our army. Silius. Noble Ventidius, Whilst yet with Parthian blood thy sword is warm, The fugitive Parthians follow: spur through Media, Mesopotamia, and the shelters whither The routed fly: so thy grand captain, Antony, Put garlands on thy head. O Silius, Silius ! Ven. More in their officer than person: Sossius, I could do more to do Antonius good, But 'twould offend him; and in his offence Sil. Thou hast, Ventidius, that Without the which a soldier and his sword Grants scarce distinction. Thou wilt write to Antony ? We have jaded out o'th' field. Where is he now? Sil. haste The weight we must convey with 's will permit, [Exeunt. SCENE II. Rome. An Ante-Chamber in CÆSAR'S House. Enter AGRIPPA and ENOBARBUS, meeting. Agr. What! are the brothers parted? Eno. They have dispatch'd with Pompey: he is gone; The other three are sealing. Octavia weeps To part from Rome; Cæsar is sad; and Lepidus, 'Tis a noble Lepidus. Agr. Spake you of Cæsar? How! the nonpareil! go no farther. Agr. Indeed, he ply'd them both with excellent praises. Eno. But he loves Cæsar best Antony. yet he loves Ho! hearts, tongues, figures, scribes, bards, poets cannot Think, speak, cast, write, sing, number, hoo!His love to Antony. But as for Cæsar, Kneel down, kneel down, and wonder. Agr. So, They are his shards, and he their beetle. Both he loves. [Trumpets. This is to horse. Adieu, noble Agrippa. Agr. Good fortune, worthy soldier; and farewell. Enter CÆSAR, ANTONY, LEPIDUS, and OCTAVIA. Ant. No farther, sir. Cæs. You take from me a great part of myself; Use me well in 't. Sister, prove such a wife As my thoughts make thee, and as my farthest band Shall pass on thy approof. Most noble Antony, Let not the piece of virtue which is set Betwixt us as the cement of our love, To keep it builded be the ram to batter Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Though you be therein curious, the least cause For what you seem to fear. So, the gods keep you, And make the hearts of Romans serve your ends! We will here part. Cæs. Farewell, my dearest sister, fare thee well: The elements be kind to thee, and make Thy spirits all of comfort! fare thee well. Octa. My noble brother! Ant. The April's in her eyes; it is love's spring, And these the showers to bring it on. Be cheerful. Octa. Sir, look well to my husband's house; and Cæs. What, Octavia? Octa. I'll tell you in your ear.

[Speaking aside with AGRIPPA. He has a cloud in 's face. Eno. He were the worse for that, were he a horse; So is he, being a man. Agr. Why, Enobarbus, When Antony found Julius Cæsar dead, He cried almost to roaring; and he wept, When at Philippi he found Brutus slain. Eno. That year, indeed, he was troubled with a rheum ; What willingly he did confound, he wail'd, Believe 't, till I wept too. Cæs. No, sweet Octavia, You shall hear from me still the time shall not Out-go my thinking on you. Ant. Come, sir, come; I'll wrestle with you in my strength of love : Look, here I have you; thus I let you go, [Embracing. And give you to the gods. Cæs. Adieu; be happy! Lep.
