Antony and Cleopatra | ||
SCENE IV.
Between the Camps. Field of Battle.Alarums. Enter Agrippa, and Forces.
Agr.
Retire, we have engag'd ourselves too far:
Cæsar himself has work, and our oppression
Exceeds what we expected.
[Retreat. Exeunt.
Alarums. Enter Antony, and Forces; with Diomede, wounded.
Dio.
O my brave Emperor, this is fought indeed!
Had we done so at first, we had driv'n them home
With clouts about their heads.
Ant.
—Thou bleed'st apace.
Dio.
I had a wound here that was like a T,
But now 'tis made an H.
[Retreat afar off.
Ant.
—They do retire.
Dio.
We'll beat 'em into bench-holes; I have yet
Room for six scotches more.
Enter Eros.
Ero.
They are beaten, sir; and our advantage serves
For a fair victory.
Dio.
—Let us score their backs,
And snatch 'em up, as we take hares, behind;
'Tis sport, to maul a runner.
68
—I will reward thee
Once for thy sprightly comfort, and ten-fold
For thy good valour. Come thee on.
Dio.
—I'll halt after.
[Exeunt.
