The Tragedie of
[1220]
Foure Feasts are toward.
Pom. Let me shake thy hand, I neuer hated thee: I haue seene thee fight, When I haue enuied thy behauiour. Enob. Sir, I neuer lou'd you much, but I ha' prais'd ye,
[1225]
When you haue well deseru'd ten times as much, As I haue said you did.
Pom. Inioy thy plainnesse, It nothing ill becomes thee: Aboord my Gally, I inuite you all.
[1230]
Will you leade Lords?
All. Shew's the way, sir. Pom. Come. Exeunt. Manet Enob. & Menas Men.

Thy Father Pompey would ne're haue made this

Treaty. You, and I haue knowne sir.

Enob.
[1235]
At Sea, I thinke.
Men. We haue Sir. Enob. You haue done well by water. Men. And you by Land. Enob.

I will praise any man that will praise me, thogh

[1240]

it cannot be denied what I haue done by Land.

Men.

Nor what I haue done by water.

Enob.

Yes some‑thing you can deny for your owne

safety: you haue bin a great Theefe by Sea.

Men.

And you by Land.

Enob.
[1245]

There I deny my Land seruice: but giue mee

your hand Menas, if our eyes had authority, heere they

might take two Theeues kissing.

Men.

All mens faces are true, whatsomere their hands

are.

Enob.
[1250]

But there is neuer a fayre Woman, ha's a true

Face.

Men.

No slander, they steale hearts.

Enob.

We came hither to fight with you.

Men.

For my part, I am sorry it is turn'd to a Drink­

[1255]

ing. Pompey doth this day laugh away his Fortune.

Enob.

If he do, sure he cannot weep't backe againe.

Men.

Y'haue said Sir, we look'd not for Marke An­ thony heere, pray you, is he married to Cleopatra?

Enob.

Cæsars Sister is call'd Octauia.

Men.
[1260]

True Sir, she was the wife of Caius Marcellus.

Enob.

But she is now the wife of Marcus Anthonius.

Men.

Pray'ye sir.

Enob.

'Tis true.

Men.

Then is Cæsar and he, for euer knit together.

Enob.
[1265]

If I were bound to Diuine of this vnity, I wold

not Prophesie so.

Men.

I thinke the policy of that purpose, made more

in the Marriage, then the loue of the parties.

Enob.

I thinke so too. But you shall finde the band

[1270]

that seemes to tye their friendship together, will bee the

very strangler of their Amity: Octauia is of a holy, cold,

and still conuersation.

Men.

Who would not haue his wife so?

Eno.

Not he that himselfe is not so: which is Marke Anthony : he will to his Egyptian dish againe: then shall

the sighes of Octauia blow the fire vp in Cæsar, and (as I

said before) that which is the strength of their Amity,

shall proue the immediate Author of their variance. An­ thony will vse his affection where it is. Hee married but

[1280]

his occasion here.

Men.

And thus it may be. Come Sir, will you aboord?

I haue a health for you.

Enob.

I shall take it sir: we haue vs'd our Throats in

Egypt.

Men.
[1285]

Come, let's away.

Exeunt.

Men. If for the sake of Merit thou wilt heare mee, Rise from thy stoole. Pom. I thinke th'art mad: the matter? Men.
[1345]
I haue euer held my cap off to thy Fortunes.
Pom.

Thou hast seru'd me with much faith: what's

else to say? Be iolly Lords.

Anth. These Quicke‑sands Lepidus, Keepe off, them for you sinke. Men.
[1350]
Wilt thou be Lord of all the world?
Pom. What saist thou? Men. Wilt thou be Lord of the whole world? That's twice. Pom. How should that be? Men.
[1355]

But entertaine it, and though thou thinke me

poore, I am the man will giue thee all the world.

Pom. Hast thou drunke well. Men. No Pompey, I haue kept me from the cup, Thou art if thou dar'st be, the earthly Ioue:
[1360]
What ere the Ocean pales, or skie inclippes, Is thine, if thou wilt ha't.
Pom. Shew me which way? Men. These three World‑sharers, these Competitors Are in thy vessell. Let me cut the Cable,
[1365]
And when we are put off, fall to their throates: All there is thine.
Pom. Ah, this thou shouldst haue done, And not haue spoke on't. In me 'tis villanie, In thee, 't had bin good seruice: thou must know,
[1370]
'Tis not my profit that does lead mine Honour: Mine Honour it, Repent that ere thy tongue, Hath so betraide thine acte. Being done vnknowne, I should haue found it afterwards well done, But must condemne it now: desist, and drinke.
Men.
[1375]
For this, Ile neuer follow Thy paul'd Fortunes more, Who seekes and will not take, when once 'tis offer'd, Shall neuer finde it more.
Pom. This health to Lepidus. Ant.
[1380]
Beare him ashore, Ile pledge it for him Pompey.
Eno. Heere's to thee Menas. Men. Enobarbus, welcome. Pom. Fill till the cup be hid. Eno.
[1385]
There's a strong Fellow Menas.
Men. Why? Eno.

A beares the third part of the world man: seest

not?

Men.

The third part, then he is drunk: would it were

[1390]

all, that it might go on wheeles.

Eno. Drinke thou: encrease the Reeles. Men. Come. Pom. This is not yet an Alexandrian Feast. Ant. It ripen's towards it: strike the Vessells hoa.
[1395]
Heere's to Cæsar.
Cæsar.

I could well forbear't, it's monstrous labour

when I wash my braine, and it grow fouler.

Ant.

Be a Child o'th'time.

Cæsar.

Possesse it, Ile make answer: but I had rather

[1400]

fast from all, foure dayes, then drinke so much in one.

Enob.

Ha my braue Emperour, shall we daunce now

the Egyptian Backenals, and celebrate our drinke?

Pom. Let's ha't good Souldier. Ant. Come, let's all take hands,
[1405]
Till that the conquering Wine hath steep't our sense, In soft and delicate Lethe.
Eno. All take hands: Make battery to our eares with the loud Musicke, The while, Ile place you, then the Boy shall sing.
[1410]
The holding euery man shall beate as loud, As his strong sides can volly. Musicke Playes. Enobarbus places them hand in hand. The Song. Come thou Monarch of the Vine, Plumpie Bacchus, with pinke eyne: In thy Fattes our Cares be drown'd,
[1415]
With thy Grapes our haires be Crown'd. Cup vs till the world go round, Cup vs till the world go round.
Cæsar. What would you more? Pompey goodnight. Good Brother
[1420]
Let me request you of our grauer businesse Frownes at this leuitie. Gentle Lords let's part, You see we haue burnt our cheekes. Strong Enobarbe Is weaker then the Wine, and mine owne tongue Spleet's what it speakes: the wilde disguise hath almost
[1425]
Antickt vs all. What needs more words ? goodnight. Good Anthony your hand.
Pom. Ile try you on the shore. Anth. And shall Sir, giues your hand. Pom. Oh Anthony, you haue my Father house.
[1430]
But what, we are Friends? Come downe into the Boate.
Eno. Take heed you fall not Menas: Ile not on shore, No to my Cabin: these Drummes, These Trumpets, Flutes: what
[1435]
Let Neptune heare, we bid aloud farewell To these great Fellowes. Sound and be hang'd, sound out.
Sound a Flourish with Drummes. Enor. Hoo saies a there's my Cap. Men. Hoa, Noble Captaine, come. Exeunt.
