Act III, Scene 8

A plain near Actium.

        

[Enter OCTAVIUS CAESAR, and TAURUS, with his army, marching]

  • Octavius. Taurus!
  • Taurus. My lord? 2045
  • Octavius. Strike not by land; keep whole: provoke not battle,
    Till we have done at sea. Do not exceed
    The prescript of this scroll: our fortune lies
    Upon this jump.

[Exeunt]
