CLEOPATRA

What shall we do, Enobarbus?

DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS

Think, and die.

CLEOPATRA

Is Antony or we in fault for this?

DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS

Antony only, that would make his will

Lord of his reason. What though you fled

From that great face of war, whose several ranges

Frighted each other? why should he follow?

The itch of his affection should not then

Have nick'd his captainship; at such a point,

When half to half the world opposed, he being

The meered question: 'twas a shame no less

Than was his loss, to course your flying flags,

And leave his navy gazing.

CLEOPATRA

Prithee, peace.

[Enter MARK ANTONY with EUPHRONIUS, the Ambassador]

MARK ANTONY

Is that his answer?

EUPHRONIUS

Ay, my lord.

MARK ANTONY

The queen shall then have courtesy, so she

Will yield us up.

EUPHRONIUS

He says so.

MARK
