SCENE I. Before Alexandria. OCTAVIUS CAESAR's camp.
Enter OCTAVIUS CAESAR, AGRIPPA, and MECAENAS, with his Army; OCTAVIUS CAESAR reading a letter
OCTAVIUS CAESAR
      He calls me boy; and chides, as he had power
      To beat me out of Egypt; my messenger
      He hath whipp'd with rods; dares me to personal combat,
      Caesar to Antony: let the old ruffian know
5     I have many other ways to die; meantime
      Laugh at his challenge.
MECAENAS
      Caesar must think,
      When one so great begins to rage, he's hunted
      Even to falling. Give him no breath, but now
10    Make boot of his distraction: never anger
      Made good guard for itself.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR
      Let our best heads
      Know, that to-morrow the last of many battles
      We mean to fight: within our files there are,
15    Of those that served Mark Antony but late,
      Enough to fetch him in. See it done:
      And feast the army; we have store to do't,
      And they have earn'd the waste. Poor Antony!
