ACT IV - SCENE IX. OCTAVIUS CAESAR's camp.
Sentinels at their post

First Soldier
1    If we be not relieved within this hour,
2    We must return to the court of guard: the night
3    Is shiny; and they say we shall embattle
4    By the second hour i' the morn.
Second Soldier
5    This last day was
6    A shrewd one to's.
Enter DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS

DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
7    O, bear me witness, night,--
Third Soldier
8    What man is this?
Second Soldier
9    Stand close, and list him.
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
10   Be witness to me, O thou blessed moon,
11   When men revolted shall upon record
12   Bear hateful memory, poor Enobarbus did
13   Before thy face repent!
First Soldier
14   Enobarbus!
Third Soldier
15   Peace!
16   Hark further.
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
17   O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
18   The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
19   That life, a very rebel to my will,
20   May hang no longer on me: throw my heart
21   Against the flint and hardness of my fault:
22   Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder,
23   And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
24   Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
25   Forgive me in thine own particular;
26   But let the world rank me in register
27   A master-leaver and a fugitive:
28   O Antony! O Antony!
Dies

Second Soldier
29   Let's speak To him.
First Soldier
30   Let's hear him, for the things he speaks
31   May concern Caesar.
Third Soldier
32   Let's do so. But he sleeps.
First Soldier
33   Swoons rather; for so bad a prayer as his
34   Was never yet for sleep.
Second Soldier
35   Go we to him.
Third Soldier
36   Awake, sir, awake; speak to us.
Second Soldier
37   Hear you, sir?
First Soldier
38   The hand of death hath raught him.
Drums afar off
39   Hark! the drums
40   Demurely wake the sleepers. Let us bear him
41   To the court of guard; he is of note: our hour
42   Is fully out.
Third Soldier
43   Come on, then;
44   He may recover yet.
Exeunt with the body
