Cæs.
Taurus.—

Taur.
My lord.

Cæs.
Strike not by land; keep whole: provoke not battle,
'Till we have done at sea. Do not exceed
The prescript of this scrowl: Our fortune lies
Upon this jump. [Exeunt. Enter Antony, and Enobarbus.

Ant.
Set we our squadrons on yon' side o' the hill,
In eye of Cæsar's battle; from which place
We may the number of the ships behold,
And so proceed accordingly. [Exeunt. Enter Canidius, marching with his land army one way over the stage; and Taurus, the lieutenant of Cæsar, the other way. After their going in, is heard the noise of a sea-fight. Alarum. Enter Enobarbus.

Eno.
Naught, naught, all naught! I can behold no longer:
^{2 note}The Antoniad, the Ægyptian admiral,
With all their sixty, fly, and turn the rudder;
To see't, mine eyes are blasted. Enter Scarus.

Scar.
Gods, and goddesses,
All the whole synod of them!

Eno.
What's thy passion?

Scar.

Eno.
How appears the fight?

Scar.
On our side like the ^{4 note}

Eno.
That I beheld:
Mine eyes did sicken at the sight, and could not
Endure a further view.

Scar.
She once being looft^{8 note},
The noble ruin of her magic, Antony,
Claps on his sea-wing, and, like a doating mallard,
Leaving the fight in height, flies after her:
I never saw an action of such shame;
Experience, manhood, honour, ne'er before
Did violate so itself.

Eno.
Alack, alack! Enter Canidius.

Can.
Our fortune on the sea is out of breath,
And sinks most lamentably. Had our general

Been what he knew himself, it had gone well:
O, he has given example for our flight,
Most grossly, by his own.

Eno.
Ay, are you thereabouts? Why then, good night
Indeed.

Can.
Towards Peloponnesus are they fled.

Scar.
'Tis easy to't; and there will I attend
What further comes.

Can.
To Cæsar will I render
My legions, and my horse; six kings already
Shew me the way of yielding.

Eno.
I'll yet follow
The wounded chance of Antony^{9 note}
