Antony and Cleopatra
ACT II SCENE IV | The same. A street | |
[Enter LEPIDUS, MECAENAS, and AGRIPPA] | ||
LEPIDUS | Trouble yourselves no further: pray you, hasten | |
Your generals after. | ||
AGRIPPA | Sir, Mark Antony | |
Will e’en but kiss Octavia, and we’ll follow. | ||
LEPIDUS | Till I shall see you in your soldier’s dress, | 5 |
Which will become you both, farewell. | ||
MECAENAS | We shall, | |
As I conceive the journey, be at the Mount | ||
Before you, Lepidus. | ||
LEPIDUS | Your way is shorter; | 10 |
My purposes do draw me much about: | ||
You’ll win two days upon me. | ||
AGRIPPA | Sir, good success! | |
LEPIDUS | Farewell. | |
[Exeunt] |
