goodness。 His faults�察�in him�察�seem as the spots of heaven�察�More fiery by
night's blackness�察�hereditary Rather than purchas'd�察�what he cannot change
Than what he chooses。 CAESAR。 You are too indulgent。 Let's grant it is
not Amiss to tumble on the bed of Ptolemy�察�To give a kingdom for a mirth�察�
to sit And keep the turn of tippling with a slave�察�To reel the streets at noon�察�
and stand the buffet With knaves that smell of sweat。 Say this becomes
him´ As his composure must be rare indeed Whom these things cannot
blemish´ yet must Antony No way excuse his foils when we do bear So
great weight in his lightness。 If he fill'd His vacancy with his
voluptuousness�察�Full surfeits and the dryness of his bones Call on him for't� �
But to confound such time That drums him from his sport and speaks as
loud As his own state and ours´ 'tis to be chid As we rate boys who�察�being
mature in knowledge�察�Pawn their experience to their present pleasure�察�And
so rebel to judgment。
Enter a MESSENGER
LEPIDUS。 Here's more news。 MESSENGER。 Thy biddings have
been done�察�and every hour�察�Most noble Caesar�察�shalt thou have report How
'tis abroad。 Pompey is strong at sea�察�And it appears he is belov'd of those
That only have fear'd Caesar。 To the ports The discontents repair�察 �and
men's reports Give him much wrong'd。 CAESAR。 I should have known no
less。 It hath been taught us from the primal state That he which is was
wish'd until he were�察�And the ebb'd man�察�ne'er lov'd till ne'er worth love�察�
Comes dear'd by being lack'd。 This common body�察�Like to a vagabond flag

upon the stream�察�Goes to and back�察�lackeying the varying tide�察�To rot itself
with motion。 MESSENGER。 Caesar�察 �I bring thee word Menecrates and
Menas�察 �famous pirates�察 �Make the sea serve them�察 �which they ear and
wound With keels of every kind。 Many hot inroads They make in Italy�察�the
borders maritime Lack blood to think on't�察 �and flush youth revolt。 No
vessel can peep forth but 'tis as soon Taken as seen�察�for Pompey's name
strikes more Than could his war resisted。 CAESAR。 Antony�察 �Leave thy
lascivious wassails。 When thou once Was beaten from Modena�察 �where
thou slew'st Hirtius and Pansa�察 �consuls�察 �at thy heel Did famine follow�察�
whom thou fought'st against�察 �Though daintily brought up�察 �with patience
more Than savages could suffer。 Thou didst drink The stale of horses and
the gilded puddle Which beasts would cough at。 Thy palate then did deign
The roughest berry on the rudest hedge�察�Yea�察�like the stag when snow the
pasture sheets�察�The barks of trees thou brows'd。 On the Alps It is reported
thou didst eat strange flesh�察�Which some did die to look on。 And all this´ It
wounds thine honour that I speak it now´ Was borne so like a soldier that
thy cheek So much as lank'd not。 LEPIDUS。 'Tis pity of him。 CAESAR。
Let his shames quickly Drive him to Rome。 'Tis time we twain Did show
ourselves i' th' field�察 �and to that end Assemble we immediate council。
Pompey Thrives in our idleness。 LEPIDUS。 To´morrow�察�Caesar�察�I shall be
furnish'd to inform you rightly Both what by sea and land I can be able To
front this present time。 CAESAR。 Till which encounter It is my business
too。 Farewell。 LEPIDUS。 Farewell�察 �my lord。 What you shall know
meantime Of stirs abroad�察�I shall beseech you�察�sir�察�To let me be partaker。
CAESAR。 Doubt not�察�sir�察�I knew it for my bond。 Exeunt

CLEOPATRA。 Charmian� �CHARMIAN。 Madam�拭�CLEOPATRA。 Ha�察�
ha� �Give me to drink mandragora。 CHARMIAN。 Why�察 �madam�拭�
CLEOPATRA。 That I might sleep out this great gap of time My Antony is
away。 CHARMIAN。 You think of him too much。 CLEOPATRA。 O�察 �'tis
treason� �CHARMIAN。 Madam�察 �I trust�察 �not so。 CLEOPATRA。 Thou�察�
eunuch Mardian� �MARDIAN。 What's your Highness' pleasure�拭�
CLEOPATRA。 Not now to hear thee sing�察�I take no pleasure In aught an
eunuch has。 'Tis well for thee That�察�being unseminar'd�察�thy freer thoughts
May not fly forth of Egypt。 Hast thou affections�拭 �MARDIAN。 Yes�察�
gracious madam。 CLEOPATRA。 Indeed�拭 �MARDIAN。 Not in deed�察�
madam�察�for I can do nothing But what indeed is honest to be done。 Yet
have I fierce affections�察 �and think What Venus did with Mars。
CLEOPATRA。 O Charmian�察�Where think'st thou he is now�拭�Stands he or
sits he�拭�Or does he walk�拭�or is he on his horse�拭�O happy horse�察�to bear the
weight of Antony� �Do bravely�察�horse�察�for wot'st thou whom thou mov'st�拭�
The demi´Atlas of this earth�察�the arm And burgonet of men。 He's speaking
now�察�Or murmuring 'Where's my serpent of old Nile��' For so he calls me。
Now I feed myself With most delicious poison。 Think on me�察 �That am
with Phoebus' amorous pinches black�察�And wrinkled deep in time�拭�Broad´
fronted Caesar�察�When thou wast here above the ground�察�I was A morsel for
a monarch�察�and great Pompey Would stand and make his eyes grow in my
brow�察�There would he anchor his aspect and die With looking on his life。
Enter ALEXAS
ALEXAS。 Sovereign of Egypt�察 �hail� �CLEOPATRA。 How much
unlike art thou Mark Antony� �Yet�察�coming from him�察�that great med'cine
hath With his tinct gilded thee。 How goes it with my brave Mark Antony�拭�
ALEXAS。 Last thing he did�察 �dear Queen�察 �He kiss'd´ the last of many
doubled kisses´ This orient pearl。 His speech sticks in my heart。
CLEOPATRA。 Mine ear must pluck it thence。 ALEXAS。 'Good friend��'
quoth he 'Say the firm Roman to great Egypt sends This treasure of an
oyster�察�at whose foot�察�To mend the petty present�察�I will piece Her opulent

throne with kingdoms。 All the East�察�Say thou�察�shall call her mistress。' So
he nodded�察�And soberly did mount an arm´girt steed�察�Who neigh'd so high
that what I would have spoke Was beastly dumb'd by him。 CLEOPATRA。
What�察�was he sad or merry�拭�ALEXAS。 Like to the time o' th' year between
the extremes Of hot and cold�察�he was nor sad nor merry。 CLEOPATRA。 O
well´divided disposition� �Note him�察 �Note him�察 �good Charmian�察 �'tis the
man�察 �but note him� �He was not sad�察 �for he would shine on those That
make their looks by his�察�he was not merry�察�Which seem'd to tell them his
remembrance lay In Egypt with his joy�察 �but between both。 O heavenly
mingle� �Be'st thou sad or merry�察�The violence of either thee becomes�察�So
does it no man else。 Met'st thou my posts�拭�ALEXAS。 Ay�察�madam�察�twenty
several messengers。 Why do you send so thick�拭 �CLEOPATRA。 Who's
born that day When I forget to send to Antony Shall die a beggar。 Ink and
paper�察�Charmian。 Welcome�察�my good Alexas。 Did I�察�Charmian�察�Ever love
Caesar so�拭�CHARMIAN。 O that brave Caesar� �CLEOPATRA。 Be chok'd
with such another emphasis� �Say 'the brave Antony。' CHARMIAN。 The
valiant Caesar� �CLEOPATRA。 By Isis�察�I will give thee bloody teeth If thou
with Caesar paragon again My man of men。 CHARMIAN。 By your most
gracious pard
