SCENE IX. OCTAVIUS CAESAR's camp.
Sentinels at their post
First Soldier
      If we be not relieved within this hour,
      We must return to the court of guard: the night
      Is shiny; and they say we shall embattle
      By the second hour i' the morn.
Second Soldier
5     This last day was
      A shrewd one to's.
Enter DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
      O, bear me witness, night,--
Third Soldier
      What man is this?
Second Soldier
      Stand close, and list him.
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
10    Be witness to me, O thou blessed moon,
      When men revolted shall upon record
      Bear hateful memory, poor Enobarbus did
      Before thy face repent!
First Soldier
      Enobarbus!
Third Soldier
15    Peace!
      Hark further.
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
      O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
      The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
      That life, a very rebel to my will,
20    May hang no longer on me: throw my heart
      Against the flint and hardness of my fault:
      Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder,
      And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
      Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
25    Forgive me in thine own particular;
      But let the world rank me in register
      A master-leaver and a fugitive:
      O Antony! O Antony!
Dies
Second Soldier
      Let's speak To him.
First Soldier
30    Let's hear him, for the things he speaks
      May concern Caesar.
Third Soldier
      Let's do so. But he sleeps.
First Soldier
      Swoons rather; for so bad a prayer as his
      Was never yet for sleep.
Second Soldier
35    Go we to him.
Third Soldier
      Awake, sir, awake; speak to us.
Second Soldier
      Hear you, sir?
First Soldier
      The hand of death hath raught him.

Drums afar off

      Hark! the drums
40    Demurely wake the sleepers. Let us bear him
      To the court of guard; he is of note: our hour
      Is fully out.
Third Soldier
      Come on, then;
      He may recover yet.
