SCENE III. The same. Before the palace.
Enter two Soldiers to their guard
First Soldier
      Brother, good night: to-morrow is the day.
Second Soldier
      It will determine one way: fare you well.
      Heard you of nothing strange about the streets?
First Soldier
      Nothing. What news?
Second Soldier
5     Belike 'tis but a rumour. Good night to you.
First Soldier
      Well, sir, good night.
Enter two other Soldiers
Second Soldier
      Soldiers, have careful watch.
Third Soldier
      And you. Good night, good night.
They place themselves in every corner of the stage
Fourth Soldier
      Here we: and if to-morrow
10    Our navy thrive, I have an absolute hope
      Our landmen will stand up.
Third Soldier
      'Tis a brave army,
      And full of purpose.
Music of the hautboys as under the stage
Fourth Soldier
      Peace! what noise?
First Soldier
15    List, list!
Second Soldier
      Hark!
First Soldier
      Music i' the air.
Third Soldier
      Under the earth.
Fourth Soldier
      It signs well, does it not?
Third Soldier
20    No.
First Soldier
      Peace, I say!
      What should this mean?
Second Soldier
      'Tis the god Hercules, whom Antony loved,
      Now leaves him.
First Soldier
25    Walk; let's see if other watchmen
      Do hear what we do?
They advance to another post
Second Soldier
      How now, masters!
All
      (Speaking together) How now!
      How now! do you hear this?
First Soldier
30    Ay; is't not strange?
Third Soldier
      Do you hear, masters? do you hear?
First Soldier
      Follow the noise so far as we have quarter;
      Let's see how it will give off.
All
      Content. 'Tis strange.
