Antony and Cleopatra, IV. vi

Cæs. The time of universal peace is near:

Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nook'd world

Shall bear the olive freely.

Mess. Antony

Is come into the field.

Cæs. Go charge Agrippa

Plant those that have revolted in the van,

That Antony may seem to spend his fury

Upon himself.

Eno. Alexas did revolt, and went to Jewry on

Affairs of Antony; there did persuade

Great Herod to incline himself to Cæsar,

And leave his master Antony: for this pains

Cæsar hath hang'd him. Canidius and the rest

That fell away have entertainment, but

No honourable trust. I have done ill,

Of which I do accuse myself so sorely

That I will joy no more.

Sold. Enobarbus, Antony

Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with

His bounty overplus: the messenger

Came on my guard; and at thy tent is now

Unloading of his mules.

Eno. I give it you.

Sold. Mock not, Enobarbus.

I tell you true: best you saf'd the bringer

Out of the host; I must attend mine office

Or would have done 't myself. Your emperor

Continues still a Jove.

 6 three-nook'd: three-cornered (comprising Europe, Asia, Africa)

26 saf'd: conducted safely
