SCENE I. Camp before Alexandria. &blquo;Enter Cæsar, with a Letter in his Hand; Mecænas, Officers, and others attending.

&blquo;Cæsar.
&blquo;He calls me boy; and chides, as he had power
&blquo;To beat me out of Egypt: my messenger
&blquo;He hath whip'd with rods; dares me to personal combat,
&blquo;Cæsar to Antony: Let the old ruffian know,
&blquo;He hath many other ways to die; mean time,
&blquo;I laugh at his challenge.

&blquo;Mec.
&blquo;Cæsar must think,
&blquo;When one so great begins to rage, he's hunted
&blquo;Even to falling. Give him no breath, but now
&blquo;Make boot of his distraction: Never anger
&blquo;Made good guard for itself.

&blquo;Cæs.
&blquo;Let our best heads
&blquo;Know, that to-morrow the last of many battles
&blquo;We mean to fight: Within our files there are,
&blquo;Of those that serv'd Mark Antony but late,
&blquo;Enough to fetch him in. See it be done;
&blquo;And feast the army: we have store to do't,
&blquo;And they have earn'd the waste. Poor Antony! [Exeunt.
