| <H3>SCENE I. Before Alexandria. OCTAVIUS CAESAR's camp.</h3> | |
| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Enter OCTAVIUS CAESAR, AGRIPPA, and MECAENAS, with his Army; OCTAVIUS CAESAR reading a letter</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>He calls me boy; and chides, as he had power</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>To beat me out of Egypt; my messenger</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>He hath whipp'd with rods; dares me to personal combat,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>Caesar to Antony: let the old ruffian know</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>I have many other ways to die; meantime</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>Laugh at his challenge.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>MECAENAS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=7>Caesar must think,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>When one so great begins to rage, he's hunted</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>Even to falling. Give him no breath, but now</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>Make boot of his distraction: never anger</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Made good guard for itself.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=12>Let our best heads</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>Know, that to-morrow the last of many battles</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>We mean to fight: within our files there are,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>Of those that served Mark Antony but late,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>Enough to fetch him in. See it done:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>And feast the army; we have store to do't,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>And they have earn'd the waste. Poor Antony!</A><br> | |
