ENOBARBUS
Nay, but this dotage of our general's
O'erflows the measure...

CAESAR
Take but good note, and you shall see in him
the triple pillar of the world
transform'd into a strumpet's fool.

(music crescendos)
CAESAR, OCTAVIA & AGRIPPA
His captain's heart,
Once big and strong,
Which in the heat of battles
burst the buckles on his breast,
Is a muscle weak -
It makes me cry to speak,
His captain's heart
once big and strong
has become the bellows and the fan
to cool a gypsy's lust.

It's disgusting
It's revolting
It's messing me up!

EROS, CHARMIAN & CAESARION
His eagle eye
Which once o'er the files and musters of war
Like a god's glowed and glared,
Now bend, now turn
the office and the devotion
of their view
upon a tawny front

ENOBARBUS
This dotage of our general's
Is more than I can stand,
Beyond all comprehension

TUTTI
Look man - Look man

Behold and see!
Look and see!

CAESAR, OCTAVIA, AGRIPPA & MAECENAS
(THE ROMANS)

The triple pillar of the world
now but a drooling boy,
A plaything you can buy...
use and discard
like a cheap tin toy!

ENOBARBUS
His only interest is this queen;

THE ROMANS
And what of business
What of war
What of worlds he ruled before?

CAESAR
Once he had a life
worth a little more!

THE CAST
I for one am worried sick
I'm disgusted - I'm upset
Well I'm fed up

It's more than I can understand
It's out of hand
It's revolting
His lust fills me with disgust
It's messing me up
This queen is nothing more
than a gypsy tart, a whore...

This queen is nothing more
than a gypsy tart,
...a tart, a whore!
