| <A NAME=speech1><b>MARK ANTONY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>He will not fight with me, Domitius.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=2>No.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>MARK ANTONY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=3>Why should he not?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=4>He thinks, being twenty times of better fortune,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>He is twenty men to one.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>MARK ANTONY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=6>To-morrow, soldier,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>By sea and land I'll fight: or I will live,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>Or bathe my dying honour in the blood</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>Shall make it live again. Woo't thou fight well?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=10>I'll strike, and cry 'Take all.'</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=speech7><b>MARK ANTONY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=11>Well said; come on.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>Call forth my household servants: let's to-night</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>Be bounteous at our meal.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter three or four Servitors</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=14>Give me thy hand,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>Thou hast been rightly honest;--so hast thou;--</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>Thou,--and thou,--and thou:--you have served me well,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>And kings have been your fellows.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech8><b>CLEOPATRA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=18>[Aside to DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS] What means this?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech9><b>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=19>[Aside to CLEOPATRA] 'Tis one of those odd</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>tricks which sorrow shoots</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>Out of the mind.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech10><b>MARK ANTONY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=22> And thou art honest too.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>I wish I could be made so many men,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>And all of you clapp'd up together in</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>An Antony, that I might do you service</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>So good as you have done.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |

| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=27>The gods forbid!</A><br> | |

| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=28>Well, my good fellows, wait on me to-night:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>Scant not my cups; and make as much of me</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>As when mine empire was your fellow too,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>And suffer'd my command.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech13><b>CLEOPATRA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=32>[Aside to DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS] What does he mean?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech14><b>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=33>[Aside to CLEOPATRA] To make his followers weep.</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=speech15><b>MARK ANTONY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=34>Tend me to-night;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=35>May be it is the period of your duty:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=36>Haply you shall not see me more; or if,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=37>A mangled shadow: perchance to-morrow</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=38>You'll serve another master. I look on you</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=39>As one that takes his leave. Mine honest friends,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=40>I turn you not away; but, like a master</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=41>Married to your good service, stay till death:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=42>Tend me to-night two hours, I ask no more,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=43>And the gods yield you for't!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech16><b>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=44>What mean you, sir,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=45>To give them this discomfort? Look, they weep;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=46>And I, an ass, am onion-eyed: for shame,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=47>Transform us not to women.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech17><b>MARK ANTONY</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=48>Ho, ho, ho!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=49>Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=50>Grace grow where those drops fall!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=51>My hearty friends,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=52>You take me in too dolorous a sense;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=53>For I spake to you for your comfort; did desire you</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=54>To burn this night with torches: know, my hearts,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=55>I hope well of to-morrow; and will lead you</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=56>Where rather I'll expect victorious life</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=57>Than death and honour. Let's to supper, come,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=58>And drown consideration.</A><br> | |
