Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 2]

Charmian

93

Good sir, give me good fortune.

2

Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 2]

Charmian

105

Good now, some excellent fortune! Let me be married
to three kings in a forenoon, and widow them all:
let me have a child at fifty, to whom Herod of Jewry
may do homage: find me to marry me with Octavius
Caesar, and companion me with my mistress.

3

Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 2]

Soothsayer

112

You have seen and proved a fairer former fortune
Than that which is to approach.

4

Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 2]

Charmian

127

Nay, if an oily palm be not a fruitful
prognostication, I cannot scratch mine ear. Prithee,
tell her but a worky-day fortune.

5

Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 2]

Iras

133

Am I not an inch of fortune better than she?

6

Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 2]

Charmian

134

Well, if you were but an inch of fortune better than
I, where would you choose it?

7

Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 2]

Charmian

137

Our worser thoughts heavens mend! Alexas,—come,
his fortune, his fortune! O, let him marry a woman
that cannot go, sweet Isis, I beseech thee! and let
her die too, and give him a worse! and let worst
follow worse, till the worst of all follow him
laughing to his grave, fifty-fold a cuckold! Good
Isis, hear me this prayer, though thou deny me a
matter of more weight; good Isis, I beseech thee!

8

Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 2]

Iras

145

Amen. Dear goddess, hear that prayer of the people!
for, as it is a heartbreaking to see a handsome man
loose-wived, so it is a deadly sorrow to behold a
foul knave uncuckolded: therefore, dear Isis, keep
decorum, and fortune him accordingly!

9

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 5]

Cleopatra

1111

Make thee a fortune from me.

10

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 6]

Octavius

1251

And what may follow,
To try a larger fortune.

11

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 6]

Pompey

1278

Well, I know not
What counts harsh fortune casts upon my face;
But in my bosom shall she never come,
To make my heart her vassal.

12

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 6]

Menas

1339

For my part, I am sorry it is turned to a drinking.
Pompey doth this day laugh away his fortune.

13

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 1]

Ventidius

1548

Now, darting Parthia, art thou struck; and now
Pleased fortune does of Marcus Crassus' death
Make me revenger. Bear the king's son's body
Before our army. Thy Pacorus, Orodes,
Pays this for Marcus Crassus.

14

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 2]

Agrippa

1619

Good fortune, worthy soldier; and farewell.

15

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 8]

Octavius

2046

Strike not by land; keep whole: provoke not battle,
Till we have done at sea. Do not exceed
The prescript of this scroll: our fortune lies
Upon this jump.

16

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 10]

Canidius

2093

Our fortune on the sea is out of breath,
And sinks most lamentably. Had our general
Been what he knew himself, it had gone well:
O, he has given example for our flight,
Most grossly, by his own!

17

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 11]

Antony

2189

Fall not a tear, I say; one of them rates
All that is won and lost: give me a kiss;
Even this repays me. We sent our schoolmaster;
Is he come back? Love, I am full of lead.
Some wine, within there, and our viands! Fortune knows
We scorn her most when most she offers blows.

18

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 12]

Euphronius

2226

Fortune pursue thee!

19

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 13]

Thyreus

2344

'Tis your noblest course.
Wisdom and fortune combating together,
If that the former dare but what it can,
No chance may shake it. Give me grace to lay
My duty on your hand.

20

Antony and Cleopatra
[IV, 2]

Domitius Enobarus

2520

He thinks, being twenty times of better fortune,
He is twenty men to one.
