Cæs.
Let him appear that's come from ^note Antony.
Know you him?

Dol.
Cæsar, 'tis his schoolmaster ^note:
An argument that he is pluck'd, when hither

He sends so poor a pinion of his wing,
Which had superfluous kings for messengers
Not many moons gone by. Enter Euphronius ^note, ambassador from Antony.

Cæs.
Approach, and speak.

Euph. ^note
Such as I am, I come from Antony:
I was of late as petty to his ends
As is the morn-dew on the myrtle-leaf ^note
To his ^note grand sea.

Cæs.
Be't ^note so: declare thine office.

Euph. ^note
Lord of his fortunes he salutes thee, and
Requires to live in Egypt: which not granted,
He lessens ^note his requests ^note, and to thee ^note sues
To let him breathe ^note between the heavens and earth,
A private man in Athens: this for him.
Next, Cleopatra does confess thy greatness;
Submits her to thy might, and of thee craves
The circle of the Ptolemies for her heirs,
Now hazarded to thy grace ^note.

Cæs.
For Antony,
I have no ears to his request. The queen
Of audience nor desire shall fail ^note, so she
From Egypt drive her all-disgraced friend,
Or take his life there: this if she perform,
She shall not sue unheard. So to them both.

Euph. ^note
Fortune pursue thee! ^note

Cæs.
Bring him through the bands. [Exit Euphronius. ^note

[To Thyreus. ^note]
To try thy eloquence, now 'tis time ^note: dispatch;
From Antony win Cleopatra: promise,
And in our name, what ^note she requires; add more,
From thine invention, offers ^{note note note}: women are not
In their best fortunes strong, but want will perjure
The ne'er-touch'd vestal: try thy cunning, Thyreus ^note;
Make thine own edict for thy pains, which we
Will answer as a law.

Thyr. ^note
Cæsar, I go.

Cæs.
Observe how Antony becomes his flaw,
And what thou think'st ^note his very action speaks
In every power that moves.

Thyr. ^note
Cæsar, I shall. [Exeunt. ^{note note}
