| <A NAME=1>Yet they are not join'd: where yond pine</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=8>And dare not speak their knowledge. Antony</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>Is valiant, and dejected; and, by starts,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>His fretted fortunes give him hope, and fear,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Of what he has, and has not.</A><br> | |
