Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

Act 4 - Scene 3

First Soldier : Brother, good night: to-morrow is the day.

Second Soldier : It will determine one way: fare you well. [p]Heard you of nothing
strange about the streets?

First Soldier : Nothing. What news?

Second Soldier : Belike 'tis but a rumour. Good night to you.

First Soldier : Well, sir, good night.

Second Soldier : Soldiers, have careful watch.

Third Soldier : And you. Good night, good night.

Fourth Soldier : Here we: and if to-morrow [p]Our navy thrive, I have an absolute
hope [p]Our landmen will stand up.

Third Soldier : 'Tis a brave army, [p]And full of purpose.

Fourth Soldier : Peace! what noise?

First Soldier : List, list!

Second Soldier : Hark!

First Soldier : Music i' the air.

Third Soldier : Under the earth.

Fourth Soldier : It signs well, does it not?

Third Soldier : No.

First Soldier : Peace, I say! [p]What should this mean?

Second Soldier : 'Tis the god Hercules, whom Antony loved, [p]Now leaves him.

First Soldier : Walk; let's see if other watchmen [p]Do hear what we do?

Second Soldier : How now, masters!

All : [Speaking together] How now! [p]How now! do you hear this?

First Soldier : Ay; is't not strange?

Third Soldier : Do you hear, masters? do you hear?

First Soldier : Follow the noise so far as we have quarter; [p]Let's see how it will
give off.

All : Content. 'Tis strange.
