Antony and Cleopatra, II. vi
45

Lep. Well met here. 56

Pom. I hope so, Lepidus. Thus we are agreed.
I crave our composition may be written
And seal'd between us.

Cass. That's the next to do.

Pom. We'll feast each other ere we part; and let's 60
Draw lots who shall begin.

Ant. That will I, Pompey.

Pom. No, Antony, take the lot:
But, first or last, your fine Egyptian cookery
Shall have the fame. I have heard that Julius Cæsar 64
Grew fat with feasting there.

Ant. You have heard much.

Pom. I have fair meanings, sir.

Ant. And fair words to them.

Pom. Then, so much have I heard;
And I have heard Apollodorus carried— 68

Eno. No more of that: he did so.

Pom. What, I pray you?

Eno. A certain queen to Cæsar in a mattress.

Pom. I know thee now; how far'st thou, soldier?

Eno. Well;
And well am like to do; for I perceive 72
Four feasts are toward.

Pom. Let me shake thy hand;
I never hated thee. I have seen thee fight,
When I have envied thy behaviour.

Eno. Sir,
I never lov'd you much, but I ha' prais'd ye 76
When you have well deserv'd ten times as much
As I have said you did.
