First Sold. ^note
If we be not relieved within this hour,
We must return to the court of guard: the night
Is shiny, and they say we shall embattle
By the second hour i' the morn.

Sec. Sold. ^note
This last day was
A shrewd one to's ^note. ^note Enter Enobarbus. ^note

Eno.
O, bear me witness, night,— ^note

Third Sold. ^note
What man is this? ^note

Sec. Sold. ^note
Stand close, and list ^note him. ^note

Eno.
Be witness to me, O thou blessed moon,
When men revolted shall upon record
Bear hateful memory, poor Enobarbus did
Before thy face repent!

First Sold. ^note
Enobarbus!

Third Sold. ^note
Peace!
Hark further. ^{note note}

Eno.
O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,

The poisonous damp of night disponge ^note upon me,
That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me: throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault;
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder,
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular,
But let the world rank me in register
A master-leaver ^note and a fugitive:
O Antony! O Antony! [Dies. ^note

Sec. Sold. ^note
Let's speak to him. ^note

First Sold. ^note
Let's hear him ^note, for the things he speaks
May concern Cæsar.

Third Sold. ^note
Let's do so. But he sleeps.

First Sold. ^note
Swoons ^note rather; for ^note so bad a prayer as his
Was never yet for sleep ^{note note}.

Sec. Sold. ^note
Go we to him. ^note

Third Sold. ^note
Awake, sir, awake; speak to us. ^note

Sec. Sold. ^note
Hear you, ^note sir?

First Sold. ^note
The hand ^note of death hath raught ^note him. [Drums afar off.] Hark! the ^note drums

Demurely wake ^note the sleepers ^note. Let us ^note bear him
To the court of guard; he is ^note of note: our hour
Is fully out. ^note

Third Sold. ^note
Come on, then ^note; ^note he may recover yet. [Exeunt ^note with the body. ^note
