<LINE>No, lady.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Was he not here?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>No, madam.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>He was disposed to mirth; but on the sudden</LINE>
<LINE>A Roman thought hath struck him. Enobarbus!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Madam?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Seek him, and bring him hither.</LINE>
<LINE>Where's Alexas?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>ALEXAS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Here, at your service. My lord approaches.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>We will not look upon him: go with us.</LINE>

<STAGEDIR>Exeunt</STAGEDIR>
<STAGEDIR>Enter MARK ANTONY with a Messenger and Attendants</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Fulvia thy wife first came into the field.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Against my brother Lucius?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Ay:</LINE>
<LINE>But soon that war had end, and the time's state</LINE>
<LINE>Made friends of them, joining their force 'gainst Caesar;</LINE>
<LINE>Whose better issue in the war, from Italy,</LINE>
<LINE>Upon the first encounter, drave them.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Well, what worst?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>The nature of bad news infects the teller.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>When it concerns the fool or coward. On:</LINE>
<LINE>Things that are past are done with me. 'Tis thus:</LINE>
<LINE>Who tells me true, though in his tale lie death,</LINE>
<LINE>I hear him as he flatter'd.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Labienus--</LINE>
<LINE>This is stiff news--hath, with his Parthian force,</LINE>
<LINE>Extended Asia from Euphrates;</LINE>
<LINE>His conquering banner shook from Syria</LINE>
<LINE>To Lydia and to Ionia; Whilst--</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Antony, thou wouldst say,--</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O, my lord!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Speak to me home, mince not the general tongue:</LINE>
<LINE>Name Cleopatra as she is call'd in Rome;</LINE>
<LINE>Rail thou in Fulvia's phrase; and taunt my faults</LINE>
<LINE>With such full licence as both truth and malice</LINE>
<LINE>Have power to utter. O, then we bring forth weeds,</LINE>
<LINE>When our quick minds lie still; and our ills told us</LINE>
<LINE>Is as our earing. Fare thee well awhile.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>At your noble pleasure.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Exit</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>From Sicyon, ho, the news! Speak there!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>First Attendant</SPEAKER>
<LINE>The man from Sicyon,--is there such an one?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Second Attendant</SPEAKER>
<LINE>He stays upon your will.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Let him appear.</LINE>
<LINE>These strong Egyptian fetters I must break,</LINE>
<LINE>Or lose myself in dotage.</LINE>
<STAGEDIR>Enter another Messenger</STAGEDIR>
<LINE>What are you?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Second Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Fulvia thy wife is dead.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Where died she?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Second Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>In Sicyon:</LINE>
<LINE>Her length of sickness, with what else more serious</LINE>
<LINE>Importeth thee to know, this bears.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Gives a letter</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Forbear me.</LINE>
<STAGEDIR>Exit Second Messenger</STAGEDIR>
<LINE>There's a great spirit gone! Thus did I desire it:</LINE>
<LINE>What our contempt doth often hurl from us,</LINE>
<LINE>We wish it ours again; the present pleasure,</LINE>
<LINE>By revolution lowering, does become</LINE>
<LINE>The opposite of itself: she's good, being gone;</LINE>
<LINE>The hand could pluck her back that shoved her on.</LINE>
<LINE>I must from this enchanting queen break off:</LINE>
<LINE>Ten thousand harms, more than the ills I know,</LINE>
<LINE>My idleness doth hatch. How now! Enobarbus!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Re-enter DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>What's your pleasure, sir?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I must with haste from hence.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Why, then, we kill all our women:</LINE>
<LINE>we see how mortal an unkindness is to them;</LINE>
<LINE>if they suffer our departure, death's the word.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I must be gone.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Under a compelling occasion, let women die; it were</LINE>
<LINE>pity to cast them away for nothing; though, between</LINE>
<LINE>them and a great cause, they should be esteemed</LINE>
<LINE>nothing. Cleopatra, catching but the least noise of</LINE>
<LINE>this, dies instantly; I have seen her die twenty</LINE>
<LINE>times upon far poorer moment: I do think there is</LINE>
<LINE>mettle in death, which commits some loving act upon</LINE>
<LINE>her, she hath such a celerity in dying.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>She is cunning past man's thought.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Exit ALEXAS</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Alack, sir, no; her passions are made of nothing but</LINE>
<LINE>the finest part of pure love: we cannot call her</LINE>
<LINE>winds and waters sighs and tears; they are greater</LINE>
<LINE>storms and tempests than almanacs can report: this</LINE>
<LINE>cannot be cunning in her; if it be, she makes a</LINE>
<LINE>shower of rain as well as Jove.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Would I had never seen her.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O, sir, you had then left unseen a wonderful piece</LINE>
<LINE>of work; which not to have been blest withal would</LINE>
<LINE>have discredited your travel.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Fulvia is dead.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Sir?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Fulvia is dead.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Fulvia!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Dead.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Why, sir, give the gods a thankful sacrifice. When</LINE>
<LINE>it pleaseth their deities to take the wife of a man</LINE>
<LINE>from him, it shows to man the tailors of the earth;</LINE>
<LINE>comforting therein, that when old robes are worn</LINE>
<LINE>out, there are members to make new. If there were</LINE>
<LINE>no more women but Fulvia, then had you indeed a cut,</LINE>
<LINE>and the case to be lamented: this grief is crowned</LINE>
<LINE>with consolation; your old smock brings forth a new</LINE>
<LINE>petticoat: and indeed the tears live in an onion</LINE>
<LINE>that should water this sorrow.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>The business she hath broached in the state</LINE>
<LINE>Cannot endure my absence.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>And the business you have broached here cannot be</LINE>
<LINE>without you; especially that of Cleopatra's, which</LINE>
<LINE>wholly depends on your abode.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>No more light answers. Let our officers</LINE>
<LINE>Have notice what we purpose. I shall break</LINE>
<LINE>The cause of our expedience to the queen,</LINE>
<LINE>And get her leave to part. For not alone</LINE>
<LINE>The death of Fulvia, with more urgent touches,</LINE>
<LINE>Do strongly speak to us; but the letters too</LINE>
<LINE>Of many our contriving friends in Rome</LINE>
<LINE>Petition us at home: Sextus Pompeius</LINE>
<LINE>Hath given the dare to Caesar, and commands</LINE>
<LINE>The empire of the sea: our slippery people,</LINE>
<LINE>Whose love is never link'd to the deserver</LINE>
<LINE>Till his deserts are past, begin to throw</LINE>
<LINE>Pompey the Great and all his dignities</LINE>
<LINE>Upon his son; who, high in name and power,</LINE>
<LINE>Higher than both in blood and life, stands up</LINE>
<LINE>For the main soldier: whose quality, going on,</LINE>
<LINE>The sides o' the world may danger: much is breeding,</LINE>
<LINE>Which, like the courser's hair, hath yet but life,</LINE>
<LINE>And not a serpent's poison. Say, our pleasure,</LINE>
<LINE>To such whose place is under us, requires</LINE>
<LINE>Our quick remove from hence.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I shall do't.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Exeunt</STAGEDIR>
</SCENE>
<SCENE><TITLE>SCENE III. The same. Another room.</TITLE>
<STAGEDIR>Enter CLEOPATRA, CHARMIAN, IRAS, and ALEXAS</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Where is he?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I did not see him since.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>See where he is, who's with him, what he does:</LINE>
<LINE>I did not send you: if you find him sad,</LINE>
<LINE>Say I am dancing; if in mirth, report</LINE>
<LINE>That I am sudden sick: quick, and return.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Exit ALEXAS</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Madam, methinks, if you did love him dearly,</LINE>
<LINE>You do not hold the method to enforce</LINE>
<LINE>The like from him.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>What should I do, I do not?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>In each thing give him way, cross him nothing.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Thou teachest like a fool; the way to lose him.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Tempt him not so too far; I wish, forbear:</LINE>
<LINE>In time we hate that which we often fear.</LINE>
<LINE>But here comes Antony.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Enter MARK ANTONY</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I am sick and sullen.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I am sorry to give breathing to my purpose,--</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Help me away, dear Charmian; I shall fall:</LINE>
<LINE>It cannot be thus long, the sides of nature</LINE>
<LINE>Will not sustain it.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Now, my dearest queen,--</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Pray you, stand further from me.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>What's the matter?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I know, by that same eye, there's some good news.</LINE>
<LINE>What says the married woman? You may go:</LINE>
<LINE>Would she had never given you leave to come!</LINE>
<LINE>Let her not say 'tis I that keep you here:</LINE>
<LINE>I have no power upon you; hers you are.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>The gods best know,--</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O, never was there queen</LINE>
<LINE>So mightily betray'd! yet at the first</LINE>
<LINE>I saw the treasons planted.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Cleopatra,--</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Why should I think you can be mine and true,</LINE>
<LINE>Though you in swearing shake the throned gods,</LINE>
<LINE>Who have been false to Fulvia? Riotous madness,</LINE>
<LINE>To be entangled with those mouth-made vows,</LINE>
<LINE>Which break themselves in swearing!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Most sweet queen,--</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Nay, pray you, seek no colour for your going,</LINE>
<LINE>But bid farewell, and go: when you sued staying,</LINE>
<LINE>Then was the time for words: no going then;</LINE>
<LINE>Eternity was in our lips and eyes,</LINE>
<LINE>Bliss in our brows' bent; none our parts so poor,</LINE>
<LINE>But was a race of heaven: they are so still,</LINE>
<LINE>Or thou, the greatest soldier of the world,</LINE>
<LINE>Art turn'd the greatest liar.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>How now, lady!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I would I had thy inches; thou shouldst know</LINE>
<LINE>There were a heart in Egypt.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Hear me, queen:</LINE>
<LINE>The strong necessity of time commands</LINE>
<LINE>Our services awhile; but my full heart</LINE>
<LINE>Remains in use with you. Our Italy</LINE>
<LINE>Shines o'er with civil swords: Sextus Pompeius</LINE>
<LINE>Makes his approaches to the port of Rome:</LINE>
<LINE>Equality of two domestic powers</LINE>
<LINE>Breed scrupulous faction: the hated, grown to strength,</LINE>
<LINE>Are newly grown to love: the condemn'd Pompey,</LINE>
<LINE>Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace,</LINE>
<LINE>Into the hearts of such as have not thrived</LINE>
<LINE>Upon the present state, whose numbers threaten;</LINE>
<LINE>And quietness, grown sick of rest, would purge</LINE>
<LINE>By any desperate change: my more particular,</LINE>
<LINE>And that which most with you should safe my going,</LINE>
<LINE>Is Fulvia's death.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Though age from folly could not give me freedom,</LINE>
<LINE>It does from childishness: can Fulvia die?</LINE>
