| The Life of Marcus Antonius | Antony and Cleopatra |
| As soon as it was light, he marched his infantry out of the city, and posted them upon a rising ground, from whence he saw his fleet make up to the enemy. There he stood in expectation of the event; but as soon as the fleets came near to one another, his men saluted Caesar's with their oars; and on their responding, the whole body of the ships, forming into a single fleet, rowed up direct to the city. Antony had no sooner seen this, but the horse deserted him, and went over to Caesar; and his foot being defeated, he retired into the city, crying out that Cleopatra had betrayed him to the enemies he had made for her sake. | [MARK ANTONY] My fleet hath yielded to the foe; and yonder They cast their caps up and carouse together Like friends long lost. IV.xii.11-13 |
