And the Phœnicians go a-ducking: we
Have us’d to conquer standing on the earth, [65]
And fighting foot to foot.

ANTONY
Well, well, away!
(Exeunt Antony, Cleopatra, and Enobarbus.)

SOLDIER
By Hercules I think I am i’ the right.

CANIDIUS
Soldier, thou art: but his whole action grows
Not in the power on ’t: so our leader’s led,
And we are women’s men.

SOLDIER
You keep by land [70]

The legions and the horse whole, do you not?

CANIDIUS
Marcus Octavius, Marcus Justeius,
Publicola and Caelius, are for sea:
But we keep whole by land. This speed of Cæsar’s
Carries beyond belief.

SOLDIER
While he was yet in Rome, [75]
His power went out in such distractions as
Beguil’d all spies.

CANIDIUS
Who’s his lieutenant, hear you?

SOLDIER
They say, one Taurus.
