ANTONY

They do retire.

SCARUS
We’ll beat ’em into bench-holes, I have yet
Room for six scotches more. [10]

Enter Eros.

EROS
They are beaten, sir, and our advantage serves

For a fair victory.

SCARUS

Let us score their backs,
And snatch ’em up, as we take hares, behind,
’Tis sport to maul a runner.

ANTONY
I will reward thee

Once for thy spritely comfort, and ten-fold [15]
For thy good valour. Come thee on.

SCARUS
I’ll halt after.
(Exeunt.)

Scene VIII IT

(Under the walls of Alexandria.)

Alarum. Enter Antony again, in a march; Scarus, with others.

ANTONY
We have beat him to his camp: run one before,
And let the queen know of our gests: to-morrow
Before the sun shall see’s, we’ll spill the blood
