    Lepidus asks two of his officers to have his army ready. A brief preparation scene.

    Enter LEPIDUS, MECAENAS, and AGRIPPA
    LEPIDUS
    Trouble yourselves no further: pray you, hasten
    Your generals after.
    AGRIPPA
    Sir, Mark Antony
    Will e'en but kiss Octavia, and we'll follow.
    LEPIDUS
    Till I shall see you in your soldier's dress,
    Which will become you both, farewell.
    MECAENAS
    We shall,
    As I conceive the journey, be at the Mount
    Before you, Lepidus.
    LEPIDUS
    Your way is shorter;
    My purposes do draw me much about:
    You'll win two days upon me.
    MECAENAS
    AGRIPPA
    Sir, good success!
    LEPIDUS
    Farewell.
    Exeunt
