MENAS

Why?

ENOBARBUS
’A bears the third part of the world, man; see’st not?

MENAS
The third part, then, is drunk: would it were all, [90]
That it might go on wheels!

ENOBARBUS
Drink thou; increase the reels.

MENAS

Come.

POMPEY

This is not yet an Alexandrian feast.

ANTONY
It ripens towards it; strike the vessels, ho! [95]
Here’s to Cæsar!

CÆSAR
I could well forbear’t.
It’s monstrous labour when I wash my brain

And it grow fouler.

ANTONY

Be a child o’ the time.

CÆSAR
Possess it, I’ll make answer:
But I had rather fast from all, four days, [100]
Than drink so much in one.

ENOBARBUS
