SCENE VI. Alexandria. OCTAVIUS CAESAR's camp.
Flourish. Enter OCTAVIUS CAESAR, AGRIPPA, with DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS, and others
OCTAVIUS CAESAR
      Go forth, Agrippa, and begin the fight:
      Our will is Antony be took alive;
      Make it so known.
AGRIPPA
      Caesar, I shall.
Exit
OCTAVIUS CAESAR
5     The time of universal peace is near:
      Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nook'd world
      Shall bear the olive freely.
Enter a Messenger
Messenger
      Antony
      Is come into the field.
OCTAVIUS CAESAR
10    Go charge Agrippa
      Plant those that have revolted in the van,
      That Antony may seem to spend his fury
      Upon himself.
Exeunt all but DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
      Alexas did revolt; and went to Jewry on
15    Affairs of Antony; there did persuade
      Great Herod to incline himself to Caesar,
      And leave his master Antony: for this pains
      Caesar hath hang'd him. Canidius and the rest
      That fell away have entertainment, but
20    No honourable trust. I have done ill;
      Of which I do accuse myself so sorely,
      That I will joy no more.
Enter a Soldier of CAESAR's
Soldier
      Enobarbus, Antony
      Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with
25    His bounty overplus: the messenger
      Came on my guard; and at thy tent is now
      Unloading of his mules.
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
      I give it you.
Soldier
      Mock not, Enobarbus.
30    I tell you true: best you safed the bringer
      Out of the host; I must attend mine office,
      Or would have done't myself. Your emperor
      Continues still a Jove.
Exit
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
      I am alone the villain of the earth,
35    And feel I am so most. O Antony,
      Thou mine of bounty, how wouldst thou have paid
      My better service, when my turpitude
      Thou dost so crown with gold! This blows my heart:
      If swift thought break it not, a swifter mean
40    Shall outstrike thought: but thought will do't, I feel.
      I fight against thee! No: I will go seek
      Some ditch wherein to die; the foul'st best fits
      My latter part of life.
