Is Cæsar with Antonius priz’d so slight?

PHILO
Sir, sometimes, when he is not Antony,
He comes too short of that great property
Which still should go with Antony.

DEMETRIUS

That he approves the common liar, who [60]
Thus speaks of him at Rome; but I will hope
Of better deeds to-morrow. Rest you happy!
(Exeunt.)

Scene II IT

(The same. Another room.)

Enter Enobarbus, Lamprius, a Soothsayer, Rannius, Lucillius, Charmian,
Iras, Mardian the Eunuch, and Alexas.

CHARMIAN
Lord Alexas, sweet Alexas, most any thing Alexas, almost most absolute

Alexas, where’s the soothsayer that you prais’d so to the queen? O that I
knew this husband, which, you say, must charge his horns with garlands! [5]

ALEXAS
Soothsayer!

SOOTHSAYER
Your will?

CHARMIAN
Is this the man? Is’t you, sir, that know things?

SOOTHSAYER
