CAESAR
The people knows it, and have now received
His accusations.
CAESAR
The people have heard it already, and they’ve been told of his accusations.
AGRIPPA
Who does he accuse?

CAESAR
Caesar, and that, having in Sicily
Sextus Pompeius spoiled, we had not rated him
His part o’ th’ isle. Then does he say he lent me
Some shipping, unrestored. Lastly, he frets
That Lepidus of the triumvirate
Should be deposed, and, being, that we detain
All his revenue.
CAESAR
He accuses me of withholding his share of Sextus Pompeius’ possessions, which we seized in Sicily. Then he says I didn’t return some ships he loaned me. Finally, he criticizes the deposing of Lepidus, and then goes on to accuse me of keeping all of Lepidus’ property for myself.
AGRIPPA
Sir, this should be answered.
AGRIPPA
Sir, these accusations should be answered.

CAESAR
’Tis done already, and the messenger gone.
I have told him, Lepidus was grown too cruel,
That he his high authority abused
And did deserve his change. For what I have conquered,
I grant him part; but then, in his Armenia,
And other of his conquered kingdoms, I
Demand the like.
CAESAR
It has been done already, and the messenger is on his way. I answered that Lepidus had become too brutal and abused his position. For this he deserved to be deposed. As for what I seized in the wars, I granted that Antony should have a share. But I also demanded my share of his acquisitions in Armenia and the other conquered kingdoms.
MAECENAS
He’ll never yield to that.
MAECENAS
He’ll never agree to that.
CAESAR
Nor must not then be yielded to in this.
CAESAR
Then we won’t agree to his demands.
Enter OCTAVIA with her train
OCTAVIA enters with her attendants.
40 OCTAVIA
Hail, Caesar, and my lord! Hail, most dear Caesar!
OCTAVIA
Greetings, Caesar, my lord! Greetings, dearest Caesar!
CAESAR
That ever I should call thee castaway!
CAESAR
Oh, to think you’ve been rejected!
