Before the gods my knee shall bow my prayers
To them for you.

ANTONY
Good night, sir. My Octavia,
Read not my blemishes in the world’s report: [5]
I have not kept my square, but that to come

Shall all be done by the rule. Good night, dear lady.

OCTAVIA
Good night, sir.

CÆSAR
Good night.
(Exeunt Cæsar and Octavia.)

Enter Soothsayer.

ANTONY
Now, sirrah; you do wish yourself in Egypt? [10]

SOOTHSAYER
Would I had never come from thence, nor you Thither!

ANTONY
If you can, your reason?

SOOTHSAYER
I see it in
My motion, have it not in my tongue: but yet
Hie you to Egypt again.

ANTONY

Say to me,
Whose fortunes shall rise higher, Cæsar’s or mine? [15]

SOOTHSAYER
