       CAESAR。   Wherefore   is   that�拭�And   what   art   thou   that   dar'st Appear 

thus to us�拭�DERCETAS。 I am call'd Dercetas�察�Mark Antony I serv'd�察�who 

best was worthy Best to be serv'd。 Whilst he stood up and spoke�察�He was 

my master�察�and I wore my life To spend upon his haters。 If thou please To 

take me to thee�察�as I was to him I'll be to Caesar�察�if thou pleasest not�察�I 

yield thee up my life。 CAESAR。 What is't thou say'st�拭�DERCETAS。 I say�察�

O   Caesar�察  �Antony   is   dead。   CAESAR。   The   breaking   of   so   great   a   thing 

should make A greater   crack。 The round world   Should have shook lions 

into civil streets�察�And citizens to their dens。 The death of Antony Is not a 

single doom�察�in the name lay A moiety of the world。 DERCETAS。 He is 

dead�察�Caesar�察�Not by a public minister of justice�察�Nor by a hired knife�察�but 

that   self   hand   Which   writ   his   honour   in   the   acts   it   did   Hath�察  �with   the 

courage which the heart did lend it�察�Splitted the heart。 This is his sword�察�I 

robb'd    his  wound     of  it�察 �behold   it  stain'd  With   his  most    noble   blood。 

CAESAR。 Look you sad�察�friends�拭�The gods rebuke me�察�but it is tidings To 

wash   the   eyes   of   kings。   AGRIPPA。   And   strange   it   is   That   nature   must 

compel us   to   lament   Our  most persisted deeds。 MAECENAS。  His   taints 

and   honours   Wag'd   equal   with   him。 AGRIPPA。 A  rarer   spirit   never   Did 

steer humanity。 But you   gods will give us Some faults   to make us   men。 

Caesar is touch'd。 MAECENAS。 When such a spacious mirror's set before 

him�察�He needs must see himself。 CAESAR。 O Antony�察�I have follow'd thee 

to   this�   �But   we   do   lance   Diseases   in   our   bodies。   I   must   perforce   Have 

shown to thee such a declining day Or look on thine�察�we could not stall 

together     In  the  whole     world。   But   yet   let  me   lament�察   �With   tears   as 

sovereign as the blood of hearts�察�That thou�察�my brother�察�my competitor In 

top of all design�察�my mate in empire�察�Friend and companion in the front of

honourable and how kindly we Determine for her�察�for Caesar cannot learn

How calm and gentle I proceeded still In all my writings。 Go with me�察�and

bids thee study on what fair demands Thou mean'st to have him grant thee。 

CLEOPATRA。 What's thy name�拭�PROCULEIUS。 My name is Proculeius。 

CLEOPATRA。 Antony Did tell me of you�察�bade me trust you�察�but I do not 

greatly care to be deceiv'd�察�That have no use for trusting。 If your master 

Would have a queen his beggar�察�you must tell him That majesty�察�to keep 

decorum�察  �must   No   less   beg   than   a   kingdom。   If   he   please   To   give   me 

conquer'd Egypt for my son�察�He gives me so much of mine own as I Will 

kneel to him with thanks。 PROCULEIUS。 Be of good cheer�察�Y'are fall'n 

into a princely hand�察�fear nothing。 Make your full reference freely to my 

lord�察�Who is so full of grace that it flows over On all that need。 Let me 

report to him Your sweet dependency�察�and you shall find A conqueror that 

will    pray   in  aid   for  kindness     Where     he  for   grace   is  kneel'd    to。 

CLEOPATRA。 Pray you tell him I am his fortune's vassal and I send him 

The   greatness   he   has   got。   I   hourly   learn   A   doctrine   of   obedience�察  �and

ladder placed against a window�察�and come behind CLEOPATRA。 Some of 

the guard unbar and open the gates

sir�察  �that   I   Will   not  wait   pinion'd   at   your  master's   court�察  �Nor   once  be 

chastis'd with the sober eye Of dull Octavia。 Shall they hoist me up�察�And 

show me to the shouting varletry Of censuring Rome�拭�Rather a ditch in 

Egypt Be gentle grave unto me� �Rather on Nilus' mud Lay me stark´nak'd�察�

and let the water´flies Blow me into abhorring� �Rather make My country's 

high   pyramides   my   gibbet�察�And   hang   me   up   in   chains�   �PROCULEIUS。 

You do extend These thoughts of horror further than you shall Find cause

DOLABELLA。   I   understand   not�察  �madam。   CLEOPATRA。   I   dreamt   there

another   man�   �DOLABELLA。   If   it   might   please   ye´   CLEOPATRA。   His
