To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Hearing this man left his treas- ures behind him, Antony generously orders them sent after him, with a letter containing ' gentle adieus and greetings,' together with the hope he will ' never find more cause to change a master.' Then he groans to himself that his ' fortunes have cor- rupted honest men ! ' Meantime, in Caesar's camp preparations are be- ing made for the coming battle, where Antony is to be taken alive, if possible, and where Caesar predicts * the time of universal peace is near.... Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nook'd world shall bear the olive freely.' Antony and Cleopatra 235 Just then a messenger reports Antony is in the field, so Caesar orders those who have deserted him to fight first. While he hurries out to see his orders executed, Enobarbus remarks that Alexas, who deserted Antony, has been hanged, that none of the deserters enjoy ' honourable trust,' and concludes he did ill to forsake his master and can 'joy no more.' While he is talking to himself a soldier in- forms him Antony has sent his treasures, but when Enobarbus bids him take them all, the soldier, deem- ing he is joking, enjoins upon him to see the mes- senger safely out of camp, adding admiringly, ' your emperor continues still a Jove.' Pierced to the quick by Antony's generosity, Enobarbus declares it has so broken his heart, that he will seek ' some ditch wherein to die; the foul'st best fits my latter part of life.' On the battle-field between both camps Agrippa retreats with his forces, exclaiming their ' oppression exceeds what we expected.' He is closely followed by Antony and Scarus; and the latter, although wounded, enthusiastically exclaims that had they fought thus before, they would surely have con- quered.
