CÆSAR

                               I have said.



              ANTONY
                               You shall not find,
               Though you be therein curious, the least cause [35]
               For what you seem to fear: so, the gods keep you,

               And make the hearts of Romans serve your ends!
               We will here part.



              CÆSAR
               Farewell, my dearest sister, fare thee well,
               The elements be kind to thee, and make [40]
               Thy spirits all of comfort! fare thee well.



              OCTAVIA

               My noble brother!


              ANTONY

               The April’s in her eyes, it is love’s spring,
               And these the showers to bring it on. Be cheerful.



              OCTAVIA
               Sir, look well to my husband’s house; and −



              CÆSAR
                                                    What, [45]

               Octavia?


              OCTAVIA

                               I’ll tell you in your ear.



              ANTONY
               Her tongue will not obey her heart, nor can
               Her heart inform her tongue − the swan’s down feather,
               That stands upon the swell at the full of tide,
               And neither way inclines.
