The Tragedy of

Scene Two

[Alexandria. A Room in the Palace]

Enter Antony, Cleopatra, Enobarbus, Charmian, Iras, Alexas, with Others.

Ant. He will not fight with me, Domitius.

Eno. No.

Ant. Why should he not?

Eno. He thinks, being twenty times of better fortune,
He is twenty men to one.

Ant. To-morrow, soldier, 4
By sea and land I'll fight: or I will live,
Or bathe my dying honour in the blood
Shall make it live again. Woo 't thou fight well?

Eno. I'll strike, and cry, 'Take all.'

Ant. Well said; come on. 8
Call forth my household servants; let's to-night
Be bounteous at our meal.

Enter three or four Servitors.

Give me thy hand,
Thou hast been rightly honest; so hast thou;
Thou; and thou, and thou: you have serv'd me well, 12
And kings have been your fellows.

Cleo. What means this?

Eno. [Aside to Cleopatra.] 'Tis one of those odd tricks which sorrow shoots
Out of the mind.

Ant. And thou art honest too.
I wish I could be made so many men, 16
And all of you clapp'd up together in
An Antony, that I might do you service
