Cleopatra
Then judge my love by this. (Giving Antony a writing)
Could I have borne
A life or death, a happiness or woe
From yours divided, this had given me means.
Antony
By Hercules, the writing of Octavius!
I know it well; 'tis that proscribing hand,
Young as it was, that led the way to mine,
And left me but the second place in murder.*
See, see, Ventidius! Here he offers Egypt,
And joins all Syria to it as a present,
So, in requital, she forsake my fortunes,
And join her arms with his.
Cleopatra And yet you leave me!
You leave me, Antony, and yet I love you,
Indeed I do. I have refused a kingdom:
That's a trifle:
For I could part with life, with anything
But only you. Oh, let me die but with you!
Is that a hard request?
Antony Next living with you,
'Tis all that Heaven can give.
Alexas (aside) He melts; we conquer.
Cleopatra
No; you shall go. Your interest calls you hence;
Yes, your dear interest pulls too strong for these
Weak arms to hold you here –
– John Dryden, All for Love (1677)
*the Triumvirate (Octavius, Antony, Lepidus) put to death many of their political opponents.
