Enter Antony and Scarus with their army.

Antony and Scarus enter with their army.

Antony

Their preparation is today by sea;We please them not by land.

They're preparing to fight at sea today. They don't like facing us on land.

Scarus

For both, my lord.

They're preparing for both, my lord.

Antony

I would they’d fight i’ th’ fire or i’ th’ air;We’d fight there too. But this it is: our footUpon the hills adjoining to the cityShall stay with us—order for sea is given;They have put forth the haven—Where their appointment we may best discoverAnd look on their endeavour.

I wish they'd fight in fire or in the air. We'd fight them there too. But here's the plan: our infantry will stay with us on the hills beside the city, where we can best see their formations and watch their movements. The orders for the fleet have been given, and they've sailed out of the harbor.

Exeunt.

They leave.

Is the modern version the whole text?

Yes. Every speech of the play is here in plain modern English, in the same order, beside Shakespeare's own words.
