Re´enter DOLABELLA
DOLABELLA。 Where's the Queen�拭�CHARMIAN。 Behold�察�sir。 Exit
CLEOPATRA。 Dolabella� �DOLABELLA。 Madam�察 �as thereto sworn by
your command�察 �Which my love makes religion to obey�察 �I tell you this�此�
Caesar through Syria Intends his journey�察�and within three days You with
your children will he send before。 Make your best use of this�察 �I have
perform'd Your pleasure and my promise。 CLEOPATRA。 Dolabella�察�I shall
remain your debtor。 DOLABELLA。 I your servant。 Adieu�察�good Queen�察�I
must attend on Caesar。 CLEOPATRA。 Farewell�察 �and thanks。 Exit
DOLABELLA Now�察 �Iras�察 �what think'st thou�拭 �Thou an Egyptian puppet
shall be shown In Rome as well as I。 Mechanic slaves�察�With greasy aprons�察�
rules�察 �and hammers�察 �shall Uplift us to the view�察 �in their thick breaths�察�
Rank of gross diet�察�shall we be enclouded�察�And forc'd to drink their vapour。
IRAS。 The gods forbid� �CLEOPATRA。 Nay�察�'tis most certain�察�Iras。 Saucy
lictors Will catch at us like strumpets�察�and scald rhymers Ballad us out o'
tune�察 �the quick comedians Extemporally will stage us�察 �and present Our
Alexandrian revels�察�Antony Shall be brought drunken forth�察�and I shall see
Some squeaking Cleopatra boy my greatness I' th' posture of a whore。
IRAS。 O the good gods� �CLEOPATRA。 Nay�察 �that's certain。 IRAS。 I'll
never see't�察 �for I am sure mine nails Are stronger than mine eyes。
CLEOPATRA。 Why�察 �that's the way To fool their preparation and to
conquer Their most absurd intents。

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
Enter CHARMIAN
Now�察 �Charmian� �Show me�察 �my women�察 �like a queen。 Go fetch My
best attires。 I am again for Cydnus�察�To meet Mark Antony。 Sirrah�察�Iras�察�go。
Now�察 �noble Charmian�察 �we'll dispatch indeed�察�And when thou hast done
this chare�察�I'll give thee leave To play till doomsday。 Bring our crown and
all。 Exit IRAS。 A noise within Wherefore's this noise�拭�
Enter a GUARDSMAN
GUARDSMAN。 Here is a rural fellow That will not be denied your
Highness' presence。 He brings you figs。 CLEOPATRA。 Let him come in。
Exit GUARDSMAN What poor an instrument May do a noble deed� �He
brings me liberty。 My resolution's plac'd�察�and I have nothing Of woman in
me。 Now from head to foot I am marble´constant�察�now the fleeting moon
No planet is of mine。
Re´enter GUARDSMAN and CLOWN�察�with a basket
GUARDSMAN。 This is the man。 CLEOPATRA。 Avoid�察 �and leave
him。 Exit GUARDSMAN Hast thou the pretty worm of Nilus there That
kills and pains not�拭�CLOWN。 Truly�察�I have him。 But I would not be the
party that should desire you to touch him�察�for his biting is immortal�察�those
that do die of it do seldom or never recover。 CLEOPATRA。 Remember'st
thou any that have died on't�拭�CLOWN。 Very many�察�men and women too。 I
heard of one of them no longer than yesterday�此�a very honest woman�察�but
something given to lie�察 �as a woman should not do but in the way of
honesty�察 �how she died of the biting of it�察 �what pain she felt´ truly she
makes a very good report o' th' worm。 But he that will believe all that they
say shall never be saved by half that they do。 But this is most falliable�察�the
worm's an odd worm。 CLEOPATRA。 Get thee hence�察�farewell。 CLOWN。 I
wish you all joy of the worm。 ��Sets down the basket�А �CLEOPATRA。
Farewell。 CLOWN。 You must think this�察�look you�察�that the worm will do
his kind。 CLEOPATRA。 Ay�察�ay�察�farewell。 CLOWN。 Look you�察�the worm is
not to be trusted but in the keeping of wise people�察�for indeed there is no
goodness in the worm。 CLEOPATRA。 Take thou no care�察 �it shall be
heeded。 CLOWN。 Very good。 Give it nothing�察 �I pray you�察 �for it is not
worth the feeding。 CLEOPATRA。 Will it eat me�拭�CLOWN。 You must not
think I am so simple but I know the devil himself will not eat a woman。 I

know that a woman is a dish for the gods�察�if the devil dress her not。 But
truly�察�these same whoreson devils do the gods great harm in their women�察�
for in every ten that they make the devils mar five。 CLEOPATRA。 Well�察�
get thee gone�察 �farewell。 CLOWN。 Yes�察 �forsooth。 I wish you joy o' th'
worm。 Exit
Re´enter IRAS�察�with a robe�察�crown�察�&c。
CLEOPATRA。 Give me my robe�察�put on my crown�察�I have Immortal
longings in me。 Now no more The juice of Egypt's grape shall moist this
lip。 Yare�察�yare�察�good Iras�察�quick。 Methinks I hear Antony call。 I see him
rouse himself To praise my noble act。 I hear him mock The luck of Caesar�察�
which the gods give men To excuse their after wrath。 Husband�察 �I come。
Now to that name my courage prove my title� �I am fire and air�察�my other
elements I give to baser life。 So�察�have you done�拭�Come then�察�and take the
last warmth of my lips。 Farewell�察 �kind Charmian。 Iras�察 �long farewell。
��Kisses them。 IRAS falls and dies�А�Have I the aspic in my lips�拭�Dost fall�拭�
If thus thou and nature can so gently part�察 �The stroke of death is as a
lover's pinch�察 �Which hurts and is desir'd。 Dost thou lie still�拭 �If thou
vanishest�察�thou tell'st the world It is not worth leave´taking。 CHARMIAN。
Dissolve�察 �thick cloud�察 �and rain�察 �that I may say The gods themselves do
weep。 CLEOPATRA。 This proves me base。 If she first meet the curled
Antony�察 �He'll make demand of her�察 �and spend that kiss Which is my
heaven to have。 Come�察�thou mortal wretch�察。�To an asp�察�which she applies
to her breast�А �With thy sharp teeth this knot intrinsicate Of life at once
untie。 Poor venomous fool�察�Be angry and dispatch。 O couldst thou speak�察�
That I might hear thee call great Caesar ass Unpolicied� �CHARMIAN。 O
Eastern star� �CLEOPATRA。 Peace�察�peace� �Dost thou not see my baby at
my breast That sucks the nurse asleep�拭�CHARMIAN。 O�察�break� �O�察�break� �
CLEOPATRA。 As sweet as balm�察�as soft as air�察�as gentle´ O Antony� �Nay�察�
I will take thee too�此。�Applying another asp to her arm�А�What should I stay´
��Dies�А�CHARMIAN。 In this vile world�拭�So�察�fare thee well。 Now boast thee�察�
death�察�in thy possession lies A lass unparallel'd。 Downy windows�察�close�察�
And golden Phoebus never be beheld Of eyes again so royal� �Your crown's
awry�察�I'll mend it and then play´
Enter the guard�察�rushing in
