MARK ANTONY
T .
T T ,
, x
Hark, the land bids | me tread | no more | upon
it,
, 2 ,
, ,
,
It is a|shamed to | bear me.| Friends,
come^|hither,
, ,
, ,
,
I am | so lat|ed in | the world,| that I
,
, , ,
2 ,
Have lost | my way | forev|er. I | have a ship,
, 2 T
T T ,
,
Laden with | gold, take that,| divide | it: fly,
, ,
,
And make | your peace | with Cae|sar.
ALL
, ,
Fly?| Not^we.
MARK ANTONY
2 ,
, , 2 ,
,
I have fled | myself,| and have in|structed |
cowards
, , ,
, ,
To run,| and show | their should|ers. Friends |
be gone,
, ,
, ,
,
I have | myself | resolved | upon | a course,
,
, , __
__
Which has | no need | of you.| Be | gone,
, , ,
, ,
My treas|ure's in | the har|bor. Take | it: Oh,
, ,
, , ,
I fol|lowed that | I blush | to look | upon,
, ,
, , 2 ,
My ve|ry hairs | do mut|iny:| for the white
, , ,
, ,
Reprove | the brown | for rash|ness, and / they
them
, ,
, , ,
For fear,| and dot|ing. Friends | be gone,| you
shall
,
, , ,
,
Have let|ters from | me to | some* friends,| that
will
,
, ,
, ,
Sweep your | way for | you. Pray | you look | not
sad,
,
, , ,
,
Nor make | replies | of loath|ness, take | the
hint
,
, , ,
,
Which^my | despair | proclaims.| Let^that | be
left
,
, 2 , T
T T
Which leaves | itself,| to the sea-|side
straightway;
, 2 ,
, ,
,
I will pos|sess you | of that | ship and |
treasure.
,
, ,
, ,
Leave me,| I pray | a lit|tle: pray | you now,
, ,
, 2 ,
,
Nay* do | so: for | indeed | I have lost |
command,
, 2
, ,
, ,
Therefore I | pray you,| I'll see | you by | and
by.

MARK ANTONY

T T T 2 ,
,
Yes my | lord, yes; he | at Philip|pi kept
, T
T . T ,
,
His sword | eene like a danc|er, while | I struck
, ,
, ,
,
The lean | and wrink|led Cas|sius, and |'twas I
, ,
, , ,
That the / mad Brut|us end|ed: he | alone
,
, , 2
, ,
Dealt on | lieuten|antry,| and no prac|tice had
2 ,
, ,
, ,
In the brave | squares of | war: yet | now: no*|
matter.
CLEOPATRA

Ah stand by.
EROS

The queen | my lord,| the queen.
IRAS

Go to him,| madam,| speak to him,
T T T

He's unqual|itied | with ver|y shame.
CLEOPATRA

Well then,| sustain | me: Oh. \\
EROS

, , ,
,
Most noble | sir a|rise, the | queen
ap|proaches,
,
, ,
, ,
Her head's | declined,| and death | will seize
| her, but
, , ,
Your com|fort makes | the res|cue.
MARK ANTONY
, 2 , , ,
I | have offend|ed rep|uta|tion, ????
,
, ,
A most | unnob|le swer|ving.
EROS
,
,
Sir,| the queen.
MARK ANTONY
, , ,
,
,
Oh whith|er hast | thou led | me Eg|ypt, see
, ,
, , ,
How^I | convey | my shame,| out of | thine^eyes,
, , , ,
,
By look|ing back | what I | have left | behind
,
,
Stroyed in | dishon|or.
CLEOPATRA
, ,
,
Oh | my lord,| my lord,
,
, ,
, ,
Forgive | my fear|ful sails,| I lit|tle thought
, 2
,
You would have | followed.
MARK ANTONY
, ,
,
Egypt,| thou knewst | too^well,
,
, ,
, 2 ,
My heart | was to | thy rud|der tied | by the
strings,
, ,
, ,
x
And thou | shouldst^tow | me aft|er. Ore | my
spirit
, , ,
, ,
Thy full | suprem|acy | thou knewst,| and that
, ,
, , ,
Thy beck,| might from | the bid|ding of | the
gods
,
Command | me.
CLEOPATRA
, ,
Oh | my pard|on.
MARK ANTONY
, ,
Now | I must
2 ,
T T T
, ,
To the young | man send hum|ble treat|ies, dodge
,
, , ,
,
And palt|er in | the shifts | of low|ness, who
, ,
2 , ,
,
With half | the bulk | of the world | played as |
I pleased,
, 2 ,
, T T
T
Making and | marring | fortunes.| You did know
, ,
, ,
,
How much | you were | my con|queror,| and that
, T
T T 2 , ,
My sword,| made weak by | my affec|tion, would
,
, ,
Obey | it on / all cause.
CLEOPATRA
, ,
Pardon,| pardon.
MARK ANTONY
,
, , ,
,
Fall not | a tear | I say,| one of | them rates
,
, , ,
,
All that | is won | and lost:| give me | a kiss,
, ,
,
Even | this re|pays me. \\
,
, ,

We sent | our school|master,| is he / come back?

T T T
Love | I am | full of | lead: some wine
, ,
, ,
,
Within | there, and | our vi|ands: For|tune
knows,

We scorn | her most,| when most | she of|fers
blows.
