Domitius Enobarus. So hath my lord dared him to single fight.

Which serve not for his vantage, be shakes off;
And so should you.

Soldier. By Hercules, I think I am i' the right.

Not in the power on't: so our leader's led,
And we are women's men.

The legions and the horse whole, do you not?

But we keep whole by land. This speed of Caesar's
Carries beyond belief.

(stage directions). [Enter CANIDIUS]

Canidius. 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!

Domitius Enobarus. Ay, are you thereabouts?
Why, then, good night indeed.

Scarus. 'Tis easy to't; and there I will attend
What further comes.

My legions and my horse: six kings already
Show me the way of yielding.
