CAPTAIN

The morn is fair: good morrow, general.

ALL
Good morrow, general.

ANTONY
’Tis well blown, lads. [25]
This morning, like the spirit of a youth

That means to be of note, begins betimes.
So, so; come, give me that: this way; well said.
Fare thee well, dame, whate’er becomes of me:
This is a soldier’s kiss: rebukeable, [30]
(Kisses her.)

And worthy shameful check it were, to stand
On more mechanic compliment; I’ll leave thee
Now like a man of steel. You that will fight,

Follow me close, I’ll bring you to’t. Adieu.
(Exeunt Antony, Eros, Captains, and Soldiers.)

CHARMIAN
Please you retire to your chamber?

CLEOPATRA
Lead me: [35]
He goes forth gallantly: that he and Cæsar might
Determine this great war in single fight!

Then Antony−; but now −Well, on.
(Exeunt.)
