⌜Scene 7⌝
Synopsis:
Antony and his soldiers rejoice in a victory.
Alarum, Drums and Trumpets. Enter Agrippa,⌜with other of Caesar’s soldiers.⌝
AGRIPPA
2619 Retire! We have engaged ourselves too far.
2620 Caesar himself has work, and our oppression
2621 Exceeds what we expected.⌜They⌝ exit.
Alarums. Enter Antony, and Scarus wounded.
SCARUS
2622 O my brave emperor, this is fought indeed!
2623 5 Had we done so at first, we had droven them home
2624 With clouts about their heads.
ANTONY 2625 Thou bleed’st apace.
SCARUS
2626 I had a wound here that was like a T,
2627 But now ’tis made an H.⌜Sound of retreat⌝ far off.
ANTONY 2628 10 They do retire.
SCARUS
2629 We’ll beat ’em into bench-holes. I have yet
2630 Room for six scotches more.
Enter Eros.
EROS
2631 They are beaten, sir, and our advantage serves
2632 For a fair victory.
SCARUS 2633 15 Let us score their backs
2634 And snatch ’em up as we take hares, behind.
2635 ’Tis sport to maul a runner.
ANTONY 2636 I will reward thee
2637 Once for thy sprightly comfort and tenfold
2638 20 For thy good valor. Come thee on.
SCARUS 2639 I’ll halt after.
They exit.
