CAESAR. And what may follow To try a larger fortune. 

 POMPEY. You have made me offer Of Sicily, Sardinia; and I must Rid all the sea of pirates; then to send Measures of wheat to Rome. This ’greed upon, To part with unhacked edges and bear back Our targes undinted. 

 CAESAR, ANTONY, and LEPIDUS. That’s our offer. 

 POMPEY. Know, then, I came before you here a man prepared To take this offer. But Mark Antony Put me to some impatience. Though I lose The praise of it by telling, you must know When Caesar and your brother were at blows, Your mother came to Sicily and did find Her welcome friendly. 

 ANTONY. I have heard it, Pompey, And am well studied for a liberal thanks Which I do owe you. 

 POMPEY. Let me have your hand. I did not think, sir, to have met you here. 

 ANTONY. The beds i’ th’ East are soft; and thanks to you, That called me timelier than my purpose hither, For I have gained by ’t. 

 CAESAR. Since I saw you last, There is a change upon you. 

 POMPEY. Well, I know not What counts harsh Fortune casts upon my face, But in my bosom shall she never come To make my heart her vassal. 

 LEPIDUS. Well met here. 

 POMPEY. I hope so, Lepidus. Thus we are agreed. I crave our composition may be written And sealed between us. 

 CAESAR. That’s the next to do. 

 POMPEY. We’ll feast each other ere we part, and let’s Draw lots who shall begin. 

 ANTONY. That will I, Pompey. 

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

 ANTONY. You have heard much. 

 POMPEY. I have fair meanings, sir. 

 ANTONY. And fair words to them.
