CAESAR'S camp
Enter a CENTURION and his company; ENOBARBUS follows CENTURION If we be not reliev'd within this hour,
We must return to th' court of guard. The night
Is shiny, and they say we shall embattle
By th' second hour i' th' morn.
FIRST WATCH This last day was
A shrewd one to's.
ENOBARBUS O, bear me witness, night-
SECOND WATCH What man is this?
FIRST WATCH Stand close and list him.
ENOBARBUS Be witness to me, O thou blessed moon,
When men revolted shall upon record
Bear hateful memory, poor Enobarbus did
Before thy face repent!
CENTURION Enobarbus?
SECOND WATCH Peace!
Hark further.
ENOBARBUS O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me. Throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault,
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder,
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular,
But let the world rank me in register
A master-leaver and a fugitive!
O Antony! O Antony!
[Dies] FIRST WATCH Let's speak to him.
CENTURION Let's hear him, for the things he speaks
May concern Caesar.
SECOND WATCH Let's do so. But he sleeps.
CENTURION Swoons rather; for so bad a prayer as his
Was never yet for sleep.
FIRST WATCH Go we to him.
SECOND WATCH Awake, sir, awake; speak to us.
FIRST WATCH Hear you, sir?
CENTURION The hand of death hath raught him.
[Drums afar off ] Hark! the drums
Demurely wake the sleepers. Let us bear him
To th' court of guard; he is of note. Our hour
Is fully out.
SECOND WATCH Come on, then;
He may recover yet.
Exeunt with the body
