Antony and Cleopatra
Antony and Cleopatra Translation Act 4, Scene 11
Enter CAESAR and his army
CAESAR
But being charged, we will be still by land— Which, as I take ’t, we shall, for his best force Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, And hold our best advantage.
CAESAR
Unless we are attacked, we won't take any action on land—and I guess that we won't be attacked, since most of his troops have been sent out to guard his ships. Let's go to the valleys and take the best position.
