Enter Eros.
Eros. They are beaten, sir; and our advantage serves
For a fair victory.
Scar. Let us score their backs, 12
And snatch 'em up, as we take hares, behind:
'Tis sport to maul a runner.
Ant. I will reward thee
Once for thy sprightly comfort, and ten-fold
For thy good valour. Come thee on.
Scar. I'll halt after. Exeunt.
Scene Eight
[Under the Walls of Alexandria]
Alarum. Enter Antony again in a march; Scarus, with Others.
Ant. We have beat him to his camp; run one before
And let the queen know of our gests. To-morrow,
Before the sun shall see's, we'll spill the blood
That has to-day escap'd. I thank you all; 4
For doughty-handed are you, and have fought
Not as you serv'd the cause, but as 't had been
Each man's like mine; you have shown all Hectors.
Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, 8
Tell them your feats; whilst they with joyful tears
Wash the congealment from your wounds, and kiss
The honour'd gashes whole. [To Scarus.] Give me thy hand:
Enter Cleopatra [attended].
16 halt: limp
2 gests: deeds
8 clip: embrace
