Cleopatra Go, leave me, soldier,
For you're no more a lover, leave me dying:
Push me all pale and panting from your bosom,
And when your march begins, let one run after,
Breathless almost for joy, and cry, 'She's dead.'
The soldiers shout; you then perhaps may sigh,
And muster all your Roman gravity.
Ventidius chides, and straight your brow clears up,
As I had never been.
Antony Gods, 'tis too much,
Too much for man to bear!
Cleopatra What is't for me, then.
A weak, forsaken woman, and a lover? –
Here let me breathe my last: envy me not
This minute in your arms; I'll die apace,
As fast as e'er I can, and end your trouble.
Antony
Die? Rather let me perish! Loosened Nature
Leap from its hinges; sink the props of Heaven,
And fall the skies to crush the nether world!
My eyes, my soul, my all! – (Embraces her)
Ventidius And what's this toy
In balance with your fortitude, honour, fame?
– John Dryden, All for Love (1677)
