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] | ||
