Ourselves alone. I'll write it: follow me. 28
Eno. [Aside.] Yes, like enough, high-battled Cæsar
will
Unstate his happiness, and be stag'd to the show
Against a sworder! I see men's judgments are
A parcel of their fortunes, and things outward 32
Do draw the inward quality after them,
To suffer all alike. That he should dream,
Knowing all measures, the full Cæsar will
Answer his emptiness! Cæsar, thou hast subdu'd 36
His judgment too.
Enter a Servant.
Serv. A messenger from Cæsar.
Cleo. What! no more ceremony? See! my women;
Against the blown rose may they stop their nose,
That kneel'd unto the buds. Admit him, sir. 40
Eno. [Aside.] Mine honesty and I begin to square.
The loyalty well held to fools does make
Our faith mere folly; yet he that can endure
To follow with allegiance a fall'n lord, 44
Does conquer him that did his master conquer,
And earns a place i' the story.
Enter Thyreus.
Cleo. Cæsar's will?
Thyr. Hear it apart.
Cleo. None but friends; say boldly.
Thyr. So, haply, are they friends to Antony. 48
Eno. He needs as many, sir, as Cæsar has,
Or needs not us. If Cæsar please, our master
29 high-battled: having a lofty command
30 Unstate: strip of state and dignity
31 sworder: gladiator
32 parcel: part
48 haply: perhaps
