Act IV, Scene 6

Alexandria. OCTAVIUS CAESAR’s camp.

[Flourish. Enter OCTAVIUS CAESAR, AGRIPPA, with] [p]DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS, and others]

• Octavius. Go forth, Agrippa, and begin the fight:
  Our will is Antony be took alive; 2705
  Make it so known.

• Agrippa. Caesar, I shall.

[Exit]

• Octavius. The time of universal peace is near:
  Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nook'd world 2710
  Shall bear the olive freely.

[Enter a Messenger]

• Messenger. Antony
  Is come into the field.

• Octavius. Go charge Agrippa 2715
  Plant those that have revolted in the van,
  That Antony may seem to spend his fury
  Upon himself.

[Exeunt all but DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS]

• Domitius Enobarus. Alexas did revolt; and went to Jewry on 2720
  Affairs of Antony; there did persuade
  Great Herod to incline himself to Caesar,
  And leave his master Antony: for this pains
  Caesar hath hang'd him. Canidius and the rest
  That fell away have entertainment, but 2725
  No honourable trust. I have done ill;
  Of which I do accuse myself so sorely,
  That I will joy no more.

[Enter a Soldier of CAESAR's]

• Soldier. Enobarbus, Antony 2730
  Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with
  His bounty overplus: the messenger
  Came on my guard; and at thy tent is now
  Unloading of his mules.

• Domitius Enobarus. I give it you. 2735

• Soldier. Mock not, Enobarbus.
  I tell you true: best you safed the bringer
  Out of the host; I must attend mine office,
  Or would have done't myself. Your emperor
  Continues still a Jove. 2740

[Exit]

• Domitius Enobarus. I am alone the villain of the earth,
  And feel I am so most. O Antony,
  Thou mine of bounty, how wouldst thou have paid
  My better service, when my turpitude 2745
  Thou dost so crown with gold! This blows my heart:
  If swift thought break it not, a swifter mean
  Shall outstrike thought: but thought will do't, I feel.
  I fight against thee! No: I will go seek
  Some ditch wherein to die; the foul'st best fits 2750
  My latter part of life.

[Exit]
