1    Let him appear that's come from Antony.
2    Know you him?

3    Caesar, 'tis his schoolmaster:
4    An argument that he is pluck'd, when hither
5    He sends so poor a pinion off his wing,
6    Which had superfluous kings for messengers
7    Not many moons gone by.

8    Approach, and speak.

9    Such as I am, I come from Antony:
10   I was of late as petty to his ends
11   As is the morn-dew on the myrtle-leaf
12   To his grand sea.

13   Be't so: declare thine office.

14   Lord of his fortunes he salutes thee, and
15   Requires to live in Egypt: which not granted,
16   He lessens his requests; and to thee sues
17   To let him breathe between the heavens and earth,
18   A private man in Athens: this for him.
19   Next, Cleopatra does confess thy greatness;
20   Submits her to thy might; and of thee craves
21   The circle of the Ptolemies for her heirs,
22   Now hazarded to thy grace.

23   For Antony,
24   I have no ears to his request. The queen
25   Of audience nor desire shall fail, so she
26   From Egypt drive her all-disgraced friend,
27   Or take his life there: this if she perform,
28   She shall not sue unheard. So to them both.

29   Fortune pursue thee!

30   Bring him through the bands.
Exit EUPHRONIUS
To THYREUS
31    To try eloquence, now 'tis time: dispatch;
32   From Antony win Cleopatra: promise,
33   And in our name, what she requires; add more,
34   From thine invention, offers: women are not
35   In their best fortunes strong; but want will perjure
36   The ne'er touch'd vestal: try thy cunning, Thyreus;
37   Make thine own edict for thy pains, which we
38   Will answer as a law.

39   Caesar, I go.

40   Observe how Antony becomes his flaw,
41   And what thou think'st his very action speaks
42   In every power that moves.

43   Caesar, I shall.
