Ant. I will reward thee
Once for thy spritely comfort, and ten-fold
For thy good valour. Come thee on.Scar. I'll halt after. [Exeunt.
Under the walls of Alexandria. Alarum. Enter Antony, in a march; Scarus, with others.Aint. We have beat him to his camp: run one before,
And let the queen know of our gests. To-morrow,
Before the sun shall see's, we'll spill the blood
That has to-day escaped. I thank you all;
For doughty-handed are you, and have fought
Not as you served the cause, but as 't had been Each man's like mine; you have shown all Hectors.
Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends,
Tell them your feats; whilst they with joyful tears
Wash the congealment from your wounds and kiss
The honour'd gashes whole. [To Scarus] Give me
thy hand;11 Enter Cleopatra, attended.To this great fairy I'll commend thy acts,
Make her thanks bless thee. O thou day o' the world,
Chain mine arm'd neck; leap thou, attire and all,
Through proof of harness to my heart, and there
Ride on the pants triumphing!Cleo. Lord of lords!
O infinite virtue, comest thou smiling from
The world's great snare uncaught?Ant. My nightingale.
