| ACT III SCENE X | Another part of the plain. | |
| | CANIDIUS marcheth with his land army one way overthe stage; and TAURUS, the lieutenant of OCTAVIUSCAESAR, the other way. After their going in, isheard the noise of a sea-fight | |
| | Alarum. Enter DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS | |
| DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS | Naught, naught all, naught! I can behold no longer: | |
| | The Antoniad, the Egyptian admiral, | |
| | With all their sixty, fly and turn the rudder: | |
| | To see't mine eyes are blasted. | 5 |
| | Enter SCARUS | |
| SCARUS | Gods and goddesses, | |
| | All the whole synod of them! | |
| DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS | What's thy passion! | |
| SCARUS | The greater cantle of the world is lost | |
| | With very ignorance; we have kiss'd away | 10 |
| | Kingdoms and provinces. | |
| DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS | How appears the fight? | |
| SCARUS | On our side like the token'd pestilence, | |
| | Where death is sure. Yon ribaudred nag of Egypt,-- | |
| | Whom leprosy o'ertake!--i' the midst o' the fight, | 15 |
| | When vantage like a pair of twins appear'd, | |
| | Both as the same, or rather ours the elder, | |
| | The breese upon her, like a cow in June, | |
| | Hoists sails and flies. | |
| DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS | That I beheld: | 20 |
| | Mine eyes did sicken at the sight, and could not | |
| | Endure a further view. | |
| SCARUS | She once being loof'd, | |
| | The noble ruin of her magic, Antony, | |
| | Claps on his sea-wing, and, like a doting mallard, | 25 |
| | Leaving the fight in height, flies after her: | |
| | I never saw an action of such shame; | |
| | Experience, manhood, honour, ne'er before | |
| | Did violate so itself. | |
| DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS | Alack, alack! | 30 |
| | 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! | 35 |
| DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS | Ay, are you thereabouts? | |
| | Why, then, good night indeed. | |
| CANIDIUS | Toward Peloponnesus are they fled. | |
| SCARUS | 'Tis easy to't; and there I will attend | |
| | What further comes. | 40 |
| CANIDIUS | To Caesar will I render | |
| | My legions and my horse: six kings already | |
| | Show me the way of yielding. | |
| DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS | I'll yet follow | |
| | The wounded chance of Antony, though my reason | 45 |
| | Sits in the wind against me. | |
| | Exeunt | |
