FIRST WATCH

Stand close, and list him.

ENOBARBUS
Be witness to me, O thou blessed moon,
When men revolted shall upon record
Bear hateful memory: poor Enobarbus did

Before thy face repent.

SENTRY
Enobarbus?

SECOND WATCH
Peace! [10]
Hark further.

ENOBARBUS
O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,

That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me. Throw my heart [15]
Against the flint and hardness of my fault,

Which being dried with grief, will break to powder,
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular, [20]
But let the world rank me in register

A master-leaver, and a fugitive:
O Antony! O Antony!

FIRST WATCH
Let’s speak to him.

SENTRY
Let’s hear him, for the things he speaks

May concern Cæsar.
