Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 6]

Octavius

1214

Most meet
That first we come to words; and therefore have we
Our written purposes before us sent;
Which, if thou hast consider'd, let us know
If 'twill tie up thy discontented sword,
And carry back to Sicily much tall youth
That else must perish here.

Pompey

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

Antony and Cleopatra
[V, 2]

Octavius

Take to you no hard thoughts:
The record of what injuries you did us,
Though written in our flesh, we shall remember
As things but done by chance.
