DOMITIUS 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 bear as loud As his strong sides can volley.
Music plays. DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS places them hand in hand
THE SONG.
Come, thou monarch of the vine, Plumpy Bacchus with pink eyne! In thy fats our cares be
drown'd, With thy grapes our hairs be crown'd: Cup us, till the world go round, Cup us, till the world go
round! OCTAVIUS CAESAR
What would you more? Pompey, good night. Good brother, Let me request you off: our graver business Frowns
at this levity. Gentle lords, let's part; You see we have burnt our cheeks: strong Enobarb Is weaker than
the wine; and mine own tongue Splits what it speaks: the wild disguise hath almost Antick'd us all. What
needs more words? Good night. Good Antony, your hand. POMPEY
I'll try you on the shore. MARK ANTONY
And shall, sir; give's your hand. POMPEY
O Antony, You have my father's house, But, what? we are friends. Come, down into the boat. DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
Take heed you fall not.
Exeunt all but DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS and MENAS
Menas, I'll not on shore. MENAS
No, to my cabin. These drums! these trumpets, flutes! what! Let Neptune hear we bid a loud farewell To
these great fellows: sound and be hang'd, sound out!
Sound a flourish, with drums DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
Ho! says a' There's my cap. MENAS
Ho! Noble captain, come.
Exeunt
