Enobarbus
What’s your pleasure, sir?
Antony
I must with haste from hence.

our departure, death’s the word.
Antony

Enobarbus
Why, sir, give the gods a thankful sacrifice.
When it pleaseth their deities to take the wife of a
man from him, it shows to man the tailors of the
Earth; comforting therein, that when old robes are
worn out, there are members to make new. If there
were no more women but Fulvia, then had you

When she first met Mark Antony, she
pursed up his heart upon the river of Cydnus.
Agrippa
There she appeared indeed, or my reporter
devised well for her.
Enobarbus

The barge she sat in like a burnished throne
Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold,

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish.

Enobarbus
You have done well by water.
Menas
And you by land.
Enobarbus
I will praise any man that will praise me,
though it cannot be denied what I have done by land.
Menas
Nor what I have done by water.
Enobarbus
Yes, something you can deny for your own
safety: you have been a great thief by sea.

‘Tis true.
Menas
Then is Caesar and he forever knit together.

Antony
Ay, Lepidus.
Lepidus
Your serpent of Egypt is bred now of your
mud by the operation of your sun; so is your
crocodile.
Antony
They are so.

What manner o’ thing is your crocodile?

Pompey
Sit,

Enobarbus, to Antony
Ha, my brave emperor,
Shall we dance now the Egyptian bacchanals
And celebrate our drink?
Pompey
Let’s ha ‘t, good soldier.
Antony
Come, let’s all take hands
Till that the conquering wine hath steeped our sense
In soft and delicate Lethe.
Enobarbus
All take hands.

Antony
Come, let’s all take hands
Till that the conquering wine hath steeped our sense
In soft and delicate Lethe.
Enobarbus
All take hands.
Make battery to our ears with the loud music,
The while I’ll place you; then the boy shall sing.
The holding every man shall beat as loud
As his strong sides can volley.

Enobarbus 
Naught, naught, all naught! I can behold no longer.
Th’ Antoniad, the Egyptian admiral,
With all their sixty, fly and turn the rudder.Hysteron-Proteron
To see ’t mine eyes are blasted.
  Enter Scarus.
Scarus
Gods and goddesses,
All the whole synod of them!
Enobarbus
What’s thy passion?
