Synopsis:

Lepidus sets off to do battle with Pompey, urging Maecenas and Agrippa to hasten the departures of Antony and Caesar.

Enter Lepidus, Maecenas, and Agrippa.

LEPIDUS 
1003  Trouble yourselves no further. Pray you hasten
1004  Your generals after.
AGRIPPA  1005  Sir, Mark Antony
1006  Will e’en but kiss Octavia, and we’ll follow.
LEPIDUS 
1007 5 Till I shall see you in your soldiers’ dress,
1008  Which will become you both, farewell.
MAECENAS  1009  We shall,
1010  As I conceive the journey, be at ⌜the⌝ Mount
1011  Before you, Lepidus.
p. 79
LEPIDUS  1012 10 Your way is shorter;
1013  My purposes do draw me much about.
1014  You’ll win two days upon me.
BOTH  1015  Sir, good success.
LEPIDUS  1016 Farewell.
They exit.
