Antony and Cleopatra, IV. vi
95

Cæs. The time of universal peace is near:
Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nook'd world
Shall bear the olive freely.

Enter a Messenger.

Mess. Antony
Is come into the field.

Cæs. Go charge Agrippa 8
Plant those that have revolted in the van,
That Antony may seem to spend his fury
Upon himself. Exeunt [Cæsar and his Train].

Eno. Alexas did revolt, and went to Jewry on 12
Affairs of Antony; there did persuade
Great Herod to incline himself to Cæsar,
And leave his master Antony: for this pains
Cæsar hath hang'd him. Canidius and the rest 16
That fell away have entertainment, but
No honourable trust. I have done ill,
Of which I do accuse myself so sorely
That I will joy no more.

Enter a Soldier of Cæsar's.

Sold. Enobarbus, Antony 20
Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with
His bounty overplus: the messenger
Came on my guard; and at thy tent is now
Unloading of his mules.

Eno. I give it you. 24

Sold. Mock not, Enobarbus.
I tell you true: best you saf'd the bringer
Out of the host; I must attend mine office
Or would have done 't myself. Your emperor 28
Continues still a Jove. Exit.


6 three-nook'd: three-cornered (comprising Europe, Asia, Africa)
26 saf'd: conducted safely
