QUOTES FROM THE BARD
PLAY: Antony and Cleopatra
ACT/SCENE: 4.5
SPEAKER: Antony
CONTEXT:
EROS
Sir, his chests and treasure
He has not with him.
ANTONY
Is he gone?
SOLDIER
Most certain.
ANTONY
Go, Eros, send his treasure after. Do it.
Detain no jot, I charge thee. Write to him—
I will subscribe—gentle adieus and greetings.
Say that I wish he never find more cause
To change a master. Oh, my fortunes have
Corrupted honest men! Dispatch.—Enobarbus!
DUTCH:
Ga, Eros, zend zijn schat hem na; ja, doe het;
Houd niets terug; verstaan? En schrijf hem ook, —
Ik onderteeken ‘t, — mijn vaarwel en groeten;
Meld hem mijn wensch, dat niets hem ooit meer noop’
Van meester te veranderen. — O, mijn rampen
Doen braven schurk zijn. — Spoed u! — Enobarbus!
