Act 4, Scene 5

Alexandria. Antony's camp. Trumpets sound.

Enter ANTONY and EROS; a Soldier meeting them.

Soldier

The gods make this a happy day to Antony!

Antony

Would thou and those thy scars had once prevailed

To make me fight at land!

Soldier

Hadst thou done so,

The kings that have revolted, and the soldier

That has this morning left thee, would have still

Followed thy heels.

Antony

Who's gone this morning?

Soldier

Who!

One ever near thee: call for Enobarbus,

He shall not hear thee; or from Caesar's camp

Say “I am none of thine.”

Antony

What say'st thou?

Soldier

Sir,

He is with Caesar.

Eros

Sir, his chests and treasure

He has not with him.

Antony

Is he gone?

Soldier

Most certain.

Antony

Go, Eros, send his treasure after; do it;

Detain no jot, I charge thee: write to him

I will subscribe gentle adieus and greetings;

Say that I wish he never find more cause

To change a master. O, my fortunes have

Corrupted honest men! Dispatch. Enobarbus! Exeunt.
