<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>She's dead, my queen:</LINE>
<LINE>Look here, and at thy sovereign leisure read</LINE>
<LINE>The garboils she awaked; at the last, best:</LINE>
<LINE>See when and where she died.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O most false love!</LINE>
<LINE>Where be the sacred vials thou shouldst fill</LINE>
<LINE>With sorrowful water? Now I see, I see,</LINE>
<LINE>In Fulvia's death, how mine received shall be.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Quarrel no more, but be prepared to know</LINE>
<LINE>The purposes I bear; which are, or cease,</LINE>
<LINE>As you shall give the advice. By the fire</LINE>
<LINE>That quickens Nilus' slime, I go from hence</LINE>
<LINE>Thy soldier, servant; making peace or war</LINE>
<LINE>As thou affect'st.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Cut my lace, Charmian, come;</LINE>
<LINE>But let it be: I am quickly ill, and well,</LINE>
<LINE>So Antony loves.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>My precious queen, forbear;</LINE>
<LINE>And give true evidence to his love, which stands</LINE>
<LINE>An honourable trial.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>So Fulvia told me.</LINE>
<LINE>I prithee, turn aside and weep for her,</LINE>
<LINE>Then bid adieu to me, and say the tears</LINE>
<LINE>Belong to Egypt: good now, play one scene</LINE>
<LINE>Of excellent dissembling; and let it look</LINE>
<LINE>Life perfect honour.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>You'll heat my blood: no more.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>You can do better yet; but this is meetly.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Now, by my sword,--</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>And target. Still he mends;</LINE>
<LINE>But this is not the best. Look, prithee, Charmian,</LINE>
<LINE>How this Herculean Roman does become</LINE>
<LINE>The carriage of his chafe.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I'll leave you, lady.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Courteous lord, one word.</LINE>
<LINE>Sir, you and I must part, but that's not it:</LINE>
<LINE>Sir, you and I have loved, but there's not it;</LINE>
<LINE>That you know well: something it is I would,</LINE>
<LINE>O, my oblivion is a very Antony,</LINE>
<LINE>And I am all forgotten.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>But that your royalty</LINE>
<LINE>Holds idleness your subject, I should take you</LINE>
<LINE>For idleness itself.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>'Tis sweating labour</LINE>
<LINE>To bear such idleness so near the heart</LINE>
<LINE>As Cleopatra this. But, sir, forgive me;</LINE>
<LINE>Since my becomings kill me, when they do not</LINE>
<LINE>Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence;</LINE>
<LINE>Therefore be deaf to my unpitied folly.</LINE>
<LINE>And all the gods go with you! upon your sword</LINE>
<LINE>Sit laurel victory! and smooth success</LINE>
<LINE>Be strew'd before your feet!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARK ANTONY</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Let us go. Come;</LINE>
<LINE>Our separation so abides, and flies,</LINE>
<LINE>That thou, residing here, go'st yet with me,</LINE>
<LINE>And I, hence fleeting, here remain with thee. Away!</LINE>
</SPEECH>

</SCENE>
<SCENE><TITLE>SCENE IV. Rome. OCTAVIUS CAESAR's house.</TITLE>
<STAGEDIR>Enter OCTAVIUS CAESAR, reading a letter, LEPIDUS,
and their Train</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</SPEAKER>
<LINE>You may see, Lepidus, and henceforth know,</LINE>
<LINE>It is not Caesar's natural vice to hate</LINE>
<LINE>Our great competitor: from Alexandria</LINE>
<LINE>This is the news: he fishes, drinks, and wastes</LINE>
<LINE>The lamps of night in revel; is not more man-like</LINE>
<LINE>Than Cleopatra; nor the queen of Ptolemy</LINE>
<LINE>More womanly than he; hardly gave audience, or</LINE>
<LINE>Vouchsafed to think he had partners: you shall find there</LINE>
<LINE>A man who is the abstract of all faults</LINE>
<LINE>That all men follow.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LEPIDUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I must not think there are</LINE>
<LINE>Evils enow to darken all his goodness:</LINE>
<LINE>His faults in him seem as the spots of heaven,</LINE>
<LINE>More fiery by night's blackness; hereditary,</LINE>
<LINE>Rather than purchased; what he cannot change,</LINE>
<LINE>Than what he chooses.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</SPEAKER>
<LINE>You are too indulgent. Let us grant, it is not</LINE>
<LINE>Amiss to tumble on the bed of Ptolemy;</LINE>
<LINE>To give a kingdom for a mirth; to sit</LINE>
<LINE>And keep the turn of tippling with a slave;</LINE>
<LINE>To reel the streets at noon, and stand the buffet</LINE>
<LINE>With knaves that smell of sweat: say this</LINE>
<LINE>becomes him,--</LINE>
<LINE>As his composure must be rare indeed</LINE>
<LINE>Whom these things cannot blemish,--yet must Antony</LINE>
<LINE>No way excuse his soils, when we do bear</LINE>
<LINE>So great weight in his lightness. If he fill'd</LINE>
<LINE>His vacancy with his voluptuousness,</LINE>
<LINE>Full surfeits, and the dryness of his bones,</LINE>
<LINE>Call on him for't: but to confound such time,</LINE>
<LINE>That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud</LINE>
<LINE>As his own state and ours,--'tis to be chid</LINE>
<LINE>As we rate boys, who, being mature in knowledge,</LINE>
<LINE>Pawn their experience to their present pleasure,</LINE>
<LINE>And so rebel to judgment.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Enter a Messenger</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LEPIDUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Here's more news.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Thy biddings have been done; and every hour,</LINE>
<LINE>Most noble Caesar, shalt thou have report</LINE>
<LINE>How 'tis abroad. Pompey is strong at sea;</LINE>
<LINE>And it appears he is beloved of those</LINE>
<LINE>That only have fear'd Caesar: to the ports</LINE>
<LINE>The discontents repair, and men's reports</LINE>
<LINE>Give him much wrong'd.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</SPEAKER>
<LINE>I should have known no less.</LINE>
<LINE>It hath been taught us from the primal state,</LINE>
<LINE>That he which is was wish'd until he were;</LINE>
<LINE>And the ebb'd man, ne'er loved till ne'er worth love,</LINE>
<LINE>Comes dear'd by being lack'd. This common body,</LINE>
<LINE>Like to a vagabond flag upon the stream,</LINE>
<LINE>Goes to and back, lackeying the varying tide,</LINE>
<LINE>To rot itself with motion.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>Messenger</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Caesar, I bring thee word,</LINE>
<LINE>Menecrates and Menas, famous pirates,</LINE>
<LINE>Make the sea serve them, which they ear and wound</LINE>
<LINE>With keels of every kind: many hot inroads</LINE>
<LINE>They make in Italy; the borders maritime</LINE>
<LINE>Lack blood to think on't, and flush youth revolt:</LINE>
<LINE>No vessel can peep forth, but 'tis as soon</LINE>
<LINE>Taken as seen; for Pompey's name strikes more</LINE>
<LINE>Than could his war resisted.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Antony,</LINE>
<LINE>Leave thy lascivious wassails. When thou once</LINE>
<LINE>Wast beaten from Modena, where thou slew'st</LINE>
<LINE>Hirtius and Pansa, consuls, at thy heel</LINE>
<LINE>Did famine follow; whom thou fought'st against,</LINE>
<LINE>Though daintily brought up, with patience more</LINE>
<LINE>Than savages could suffer: thou didst drink</LINE>
<LINE>The stale of horses, and the gilded puddle</LINE>
<LINE>Which beasts would cough at: thy palate then did deign</LINE>
<LINE>The roughest berry on the rudest hedge;</LINE>
<LINE>Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets,</LINE>
<LINE>The barks of trees thou browsed'st; on the Alps</LINE>
<LINE>It is reported thou didst eat strange flesh,</LINE>
<LINE>Which some did die to look on: and all this--</LINE>
<LINE>It wounds thine honour that I speak it now--</LINE>
<LINE>Was borne so like a soldier, that thy cheek</LINE>
<LINE>So much as lank'd not.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LEPIDUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>'Tis pity of him.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Let his shames quickly</LINE>
<LINE>Drive him to Rome: 'tis time we twain</LINE>
<LINE>Did show ourselves i' the field; and to that end</LINE>
<LINE>Assemble we immediate council: Pompey</LINE>
<LINE>Thrives in our idleness.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LEPIDUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>To-morrow, Caesar,</LINE>
<LINE>I shall be furnish'd to inform you rightly</LINE>
<LINE>Both what by sea and land I can be able</LINE>
<LINE>To front this present time.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Till which encounter,</LINE>
<LINE>It is my business too. Farewell.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>LEPIDUS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Farewell, my lord: what you shall know meantime</LINE>
<LINE>Of stirs abroad, I shall beseech you, sir,</LINE>
<LINE>To let me be partaker.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>OCTAVIUS CAESAR</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Doubt not, sir;</LINE>
<LINE>I knew it for my bond.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Exeunt</STAGEDIR>
</SCENE>
<SCENE><TITLE>SCENE V. Alexandria. CLEOPATRA's palace.</TITLE>
<STAGEDIR>Enter CLEOPATRA, CHARMIAN, IRAS, and MARDIAN</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Charmian!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Madam?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Ha, ha!</LINE>
<LINE>Give me to drink mandragora.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Why, madam?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>That I might sleep out this great gap of time</LINE>
<LINE>My Antony is away.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>You think of him too much.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O, 'tis treason!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Madam, I trust, not so.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Thou, eunuch Mardian!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARDIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>What's your highness' pleasure?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Not now to hear thee sing; I take no pleasure</LINE>
<LINE>In aught an eunuch has: 'tis well for thee,</LINE>
<LINE>That, being unseminar'd, thy freer thoughts</LINE>
<LINE>May not fly forth of Egypt. Hast thou affections?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARDIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Yes, gracious madam.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Indeed!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>MARDIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Not in deed, madam; for I can do nothing</LINE>
<LINE>But what indeed is honest to be done:</LINE>
<LINE>Yet have I fierce affections, and think</LINE>
<LINE>What Venus did with Mars.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O Charmian,</LINE>
<LINE>Where think'st thou he is now? Stands he, or sits he?</LINE>
<LINE>Or does he walk? or is he on his horse?</LINE>
<LINE>O happy horse, to bear the weight of Antony!</LINE>
<LINE>Do bravely, horse! for wot'st thou whom thou movest?</LINE>
<LINE>The demi-Atlas of this earth, the arm</LINE>
<LINE>And burgonet of men. He's speaking now,</LINE>
<LINE>Or murmuring 'Where's my serpent of old Nile?'</LINE>
<LINE>For so he calls me: now I feed myself</LINE>
<LINE>With most delicious poison. Think on me,</LINE>
<LINE>That am with Phoebus' amorous pinches black,</LINE>
<LINE>And wrinkled deep in time? Broad-fronted Caesar,</LINE>
<LINE>When thou wast here above the ground, I was</LINE>
<LINE>A morsel for a monarch: and great Pompey</LINE>
<LINE>Would stand and make his eyes grow in my brow;</LINE>
<LINE>There would he anchor his aspect and die</LINE>
<LINE>With looking on his life.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<STAGEDIR>Enter ALEXAS, from OCTAVIUS CAESAR</STAGEDIR>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>ALEXAS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Sovereign of Egypt, hail!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>How much unlike art thou Mark Antony!</LINE>
<LINE>Yet, coming from him, that great medicine hath</LINE>
<LINE>With his tinct gilded thee.</LINE>
<LINE>How goes it with my brave Mark Antony?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>ALEXAS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Last thing he did, dear queen,</LINE>
<LINE>He kiss'd,--the last of many doubled kisses,--</LINE>
<LINE>This orient pearl. His speech sticks in my heart.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Mine ear must pluck it thence.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>ALEXAS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>'Good friend,' quoth he,</LINE>
<LINE>'Say, the firm Roman to great Egypt sends</LINE>
<LINE>This treasure of an oyster; at whose foot,</LINE>
<LINE>To mend the petty present, I will piece</LINE>
<LINE>Her opulent throne with kingdoms; all the east,</LINE>
<LINE>Say thou, shall call her mistress.' So he nodded,</LINE>
<LINE>And soberly did mount an arm-gaunt steed,</LINE>
<LINE>Who neigh'd so high, that what I would have spoke</LINE>
<LINE>Was beastly dumb'd by him.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>What, was he sad or merry?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>ALEXAS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Like to the time o' the year between the extremes</LINE>
<LINE>Of hot and cold, he was nor sad nor merry.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O well-divided disposition! Note him,</LINE>
<LINE>Note him good Charmian, 'tis the man; but note him:</LINE>
<LINE>He was not sad, for he would shine on those</LINE>
<LINE>That make their looks by his; he was not merry,</LINE>
<LINE>Which seem'd to tell them his remembrance lay</LINE>
<LINE>In Egypt with his joy; but between both:</LINE>
<LINE>O heavenly mingle! Be'st thou sad or merry,</LINE>
<LINE>The violence of either thee becomes,</LINE>
<LINE>So does it no man else. Met'st thou my posts?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>ALEXAS</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Ay, madam, twenty several messengers:</LINE>
<LINE>Why do you send so thick?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Who's born that day</LINE>
<LINE>When I forget to send to Antony,</LINE>
<LINE>Shall die a beggar. Ink and paper, Charmian.</LINE>
<LINE>Welcome, my good Alexas. Did I, Charmian,</LINE>
<LINE>Ever love Caesar so?</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>O that brave Caesar!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>Be choked with such another emphasis!</LINE>
<LINE>Say, the brave Antony.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>The valiant Caesar!</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>By Isis, I will give thee bloody teeth,</LINE>
<LINE>If thou with Caesar paragon again</LINE>
<LINE>My man of men.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CHARMIAN</SPEAKER>
<LINE>By your most gracious pardon,</LINE>
<LINE>I sing but after you.</LINE>
</SPEECH>
<SPEECH>
<SPEAKER>CLEOPATRA</SPEAKER>
<LINE>My salad days,</LINE>
<LINE>When I was green in judgment: cold in blood,</LINE>
<LINE>To say as I said then! But, come, away;</LINE>
<LINE>Get me ink and paper:</LINE>
<LINE>He shall have every day a several greeting,</LINE>
<LINE>Or I'll unpeople Egypt.</LINE>
