Octavia
I need not ask if your are Cleopatra:
Your haughty carriage –
Cleopatra Shows I am a queen:
Nor need I ask who you are.
Octavia A Roman:
A name that makes, and can unmake, a queen.
Cleopatra
Your lord, the man who serves me, is a Roman.
Octavia
He was a Roman, till he lost that name
To be a slave in Egypt; but I come
To free him thence.
Cleopatra Peace, peace, my lover's Juno.
When he grew weary of that household clog,
He chose my easier bonds.
Octavia I wonder not
Your bonds are easy: you have long been practised
In that lascivious art. He's not the first
For whom you spread your snares: let Caesar witness.
Cleopatra
I loved not Caesar: 'twas but gratitude
I paid his love. The worst your malice can
Is but to say the greatest of mankind
Has been my slave. The next, but far above him
In my esteem, is he whom law calls yours,
But whom his love made mine.
Octavia coming up close to her I would view nearer
That face which has so long usurped my right,
To find th'inevitable charms that catch
Mankind so sure, that ruined my dear lord.
Cleopatra
Oh, you do well to search, for had you known
But half these charms, you had not lost his heart.
Octavia
Far be their knowledge from a Roman lady,
Far from a modest wife. Shame of our sex,
Dost thou not blush to own those black endearments
That make sin pleasing?
– John Dryden, All for Love (1677)
