SCENE VII. Field of battle between the camps.

    Alarum. Drums and trumpets. Enter AGRIPPA and others

AGRIPPA

    Retire, we have engaged ourselves too far:
    Caesar himself has work, and our oppression
    Exceeds what we expected.

    Exeunt

    Alarums. Enter MARK ANTONY and SCARUS wounded

SCARUS

    O my brave emperor, this is fought indeed!
    Had we done so at first, we had droven them home
    With clouts about their heads.

MARK ANTONY

    Thou bleed'st apace.

SCARUS

    I had a wound here that was like a T,
    But now 'tis made an H.

MARK ANTONY

    They do retire.

SCARUS

    We'll beat 'em into bench-holes: I have yet
    Room for six scotches more.

    Enter EROS

EROS

    They are beaten, sir, and our advantage serves
    For a fair victory.

SCARUS

    Let us score their backs,
    And snatch 'em up, as we take hares, behind:
    'Tis sport to maul a runner.

MARK ANTONY

    I will reward thee
    Once for thy spritely comfort, and ten-fold
    For thy good valour. Come thee on.

SCARUS

    I'll halt after.

    Exeunt
