SCENE I. Cæsar's Camp at Alexandria. Enter Cæsar, reading a letter; Agrippa, Mecænas, &c.

Cæs.
He calls me boy; and chides, as he had power
To beat me out of Ægypt: my messenger

-- 245 --


He hath whipp'd with rods; dares me to personal combat,
Cæsar to Antony: Let the old ruffian know,
7 note



I have many other ways to die; mean time,
Laugh at his challenge.

Mec.
Cæsar must think,
When one so great begins to rage, he's hunted
Even to falling. Give him no breath, but now
Make boot 8 noteof his distraction: Never anger
Made good guard for itself.

Cæs.

Know, that to-morrow the last of many battles

Of those that serv'd Mark Antony but late,
Enough to fetch him in. See it done;
And feast the army: we have store to do't,
And they have earn'd the waste. Poor Antony!
[Exeunt.
