Antony and Cleopatra, II. vi

Lep. Well met here.

Pom. I hope so, Lepidus. Thus we are agreed.

I crave our composition may be written

And seal'd between us.

Cass. That's the next to do.

Pom. We'll feast each other ere we part; and let's

Draw lots who shall begin.

Ant. That will I, Pompey.

Pom. No, Antony, take the lot:

But, first or last, your fine Egyptian cookery

Shall have the fame. I have heard that Julius Cæsar

Grew fat with feasting there.

Ant. You have heard much.

Pom. I have fair meanings, sir.

Ant. And fair words to them.

Pom. Then, so much have I heard;

And I have heard Apollodorus carried—

Eno. No more of that: he did so.

Pom. What, I pray you?

Eno. A certain queen to Cæsar in a mattress.

Pom. I know thee now; how far'st thou, soldier?

Eno. Well;

And well am like to do; for I perceive

Four feasts are toward.

Pom. Let me shake thy hand;

I never hated thee. I have seen thee fight,

When I have envied thy behaviour.

Eno. Sir,

I never lov'd you much, but I ha' prais'd ye

When you have well deserv'd ten times as much

As I have said you did.
