Cæs. Taurus!

Taur. My lord?

Cæs. Strike not by land; keep whole: provoke not battle,

Till we have done at sea. Do not exceed

The prescript of this scroll: our fortune lies

Upon this jump.

Ant. Set we our squadrons on yond side o' the hill,

In eye of Cæsar's battle; from which place

We may the number of the ships behold

And so proceed accordingly.

Eno. Naught, naught, all naught! I can behold no longer.

The Antoniad, the Egyptian admiral,

With all their sixty, fly, and turn the rudder;

To see 't mine eyes are blasted.

Scar. Gods and goddesses,

All the whole synod of them!

 6 jump: venture

8 battle: line of battle

12 admiral: flagship

15 synod: assembly
