CLEOPATRA.
Seek him and bring him hither. Where’s Alexas?
ALEXAS.
Here, at your service. My lord approaches.
Enter Antony with a Messenger.
CLEOPATRA.
We will not look upon him. Go with us.
[Exeunt Cleopatra, Enobarbus, Charmian, Iras, Alexas and Soothsayer.]
MESSENGER.
Fulvia thy wife first came into the field.
ANTONY.
Against my brother Lucius.
MESSENGER.
Ay.
But soon that war had end, and the time’s state
Made friends of them, jointing their force ’gainst Caesar,
Whose better issue in the war from Italy
Upon the first encounter drave them.
ANTONY.
Well, what worst?
MESSENGER.
The nature of bad news infects the teller.
