- How shall I write this out? I do not write.
- Talk to you? Yes, and tell of Antony,
- And how I knew him. There at Philippi
- I let myself be captured, so to give
- Time to escape to Brutus — made pretense
- That I was Brutus, and so Brutus flies
- And I am captured. Antony forgives me.
- And to his death I was his faithful friend.
- Well, after Actium, in Africa,
- He roamed with no companions but us two.
- Our friend Aristocrates, here, myself,
- And fed upon his bitter heart. Our guest
- Nods truth to what I say, he knows it all.
