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

AGRIPPA	Sir, good success!
LEPIDUS	Farewell.
