I should, and thou couldst not. My queen and Eros

Have by their brave instruction got upon me

A nobleness in record; but I will be

A bridegroom in my death, and run into 't

As to a lover's bed. Come, then; and, Eros,

Thy master dies thy scholar: to do thus

I learn' d of thee. How! not dead? not dead?

The guard, ho! O! dispatch me.

First Guard. What's the noise?

Ant. I have done my work ill, friends: O! make an end.

Of what I have begun.

Sec. Guard. The star is fallen.

First Guard. And time is at his period.

All. Alas, and woe!

Ant. Let him that loves me strike me dead.

First Guard. Not I.

Sec. Guard. Nor I.

Third Guard. Nor any one. Exeunt [Guard].

Der. Thy death and fortunes bid thy followers fly.

This sword but shown to Cæsar, with this tidings,

Shall enter me with him.

Dio. Where's Antony?

Der. There, Diomed, there.

Dio. Lives he?

Wilt thou not answer, man?

Ant. Art thou there, Diomed? Draw thy sword, and give me

 98 instruction: teaching

99 A nobleness in record; cf. n.
