The Tragedy Of Antony And Cleopatra

1 Alarum. Drums and Trumpets. Enter Agrippa and others.
2 AGRIPPA.
3 Retire! We have engaged ourselves too far.
4 Caesar himself has work, and our oppression
5 Exceeds what we expected.
6 [_Exeunt._]
7 Alarums. Enter Antony and Scarus wounded.
8 SCARUS.
9 O my brave emperor, this is fought indeed!
10 Had we done so at first, we had droven them home
11 With clouts about their heads.
12 ANTONY.
13 Thou bleed’st apace.
14 SCARUS.
15 I had a wound here that was like a T,
16 But now ’tis made an H.
17 _Sounds retreat far off._
18 ANTONY.
19 They do retire.
20 SCARUS.
21 We’ll beat ’em into bench-holes. I have yet
22 Room for six scotches more.
23 Enter Eros.
24 EROS.
25 They are beaten, sir, and our advantage serves
26 For a fair victory.
27 SCARUS.
28 Let us score their backs
29 And snatch ’em up as we take hares, behind.
30 ’Tis sport to maul a runner.
31 ANTONY.
32 I will reward thee
33 Once for thy sprightly comfort, and tenfold
34 For thy good valour. Come thee on.
35 SCARUS.
36 I’ll halt after.
37 [_Exeunt._]
