ACT IV SCENE V Alexandria. MARK ANTONY's camp. 
 Trumpets sound. Enter MARK ANTONY and EROS; aSoldier meeting them 
Soldier The gods make this a happy day to Antony! 
MARK ANTONY Would thou and those thy scars had once prevail'd 
 To make me fight at land! 
Soldier Hadst thou done so, 5
 The kings that have revolted, and the soldier 
 That has this morning left thee, would have still 
 Follow'd thy heels. 
MARK ANTONY Who's gone this morning? 
Soldier Who! 10
 One ever near thee: call for Enobarbus, 
 He shall not hear thee; or from Caesar's camp 
 Say 'I am none of thine.' 
MARK ANTONY What say'st thou? 
Soldier Sir, 15
 He is with Caesar. 
EROS Sir, his chests and treasure 
 He has not with him. 
MARK ANTONY Is he gone? 
Soldier Most certain. 20
MARK ANTONY Go, Eros, send his treasure after; do it; 
 Detain no jot, I charge thee: write to him-- 
 I will subscribe--gentle adieus and greetings; 
 Say that I wish he never find more cause 
 To change a master. O, my fortunes have 25
 Corrupted honest men! Dispatch.--Enobarbus! 
 Exeunt
