Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 13]

Thyreus

2328

Shall I say to Caesar
What you require of him? for he partly begs
To be desired to give. It much would please him,
That of his fortunes you should make a staff
To lean upon: but it would warm his spirits,
To hear from me you had left Antony,
And put yourself under his shrowd,
The universal landlord.

Octavius

The time of universal peace is near:
Prove this a prosperous day, the three-nook'd world
Shall bear the olive freely.
