Alarum, Drummes and Trumpets.
Enter Agrippa.

Agrip
Retire, we haue engag'd our selues too farre:
Cæsar himselfe ha's worke, and our oppression
Exit.Exceeds what we expected.

Alarums.
Enter Anthony, and Scarrus wounded.

Scar.
O my braue Emperor, this is fought indeed,
Had we done so at first, we had drouen them home
Far off.With clowts about their heads.

Ant.
Thou bleed'st apace.

Scar.
I had a wound heere that was like a T,
But now 'tis made an H.

Ant.
They do retyre.

Scar.
Wee'l beat 'em into Bench-holes, I haue yet
Roome for six scotches more.

Enter Eros.

Eros.
They are beaten Sir, and our aduantage serues
For a faire victory.

Scar.
Let vs score their backes,
And snatch 'em vp, as we take Hares behinde,
'Tis sport to maul a Runner.

Ant.
I will reward thee
Once for thy sprightly comfort, and ten-fold
For thy good valour. Come thee on.

Scar.
Exeunt.Ile halt after.
