3.6.2Enter Agrippa, Maecenas, and Caesar. Contemning Rome, he's done all this and more
3.6.41753In Alexandria. Here's the manner of't:
3.6.51754I'th'market-place, on a tribunal silvered,
3.6.61755Cleopatra and himself in chairs of gold
3.6.71756Were publicly enthroned; at the feet sat
3.6.81757Caesarion, whom they call my father's son,
3.6.91758And all the unlawful issue that their lust
3.6.101759Since then hath made between them. Unto her
3.6.111760He gave the stablishment of Egypt, made her
Absolute queen. This in the public eye?
I'th'common showplace where they exercise.
3.6.151764His sons hither proclaimed the kings of kings,
3.6.171766He gave to Alexander; to Ptolemy he assigned
3.6.201769That day appeared, and oft before gave audience--
As 'tis reported--so. Let Rome be thus informed.
Who, queasy with his insolence already,
The people knows it,
1775and have now received
His accusations. Who does he accuse?
Caesar; and that, having in Sicily
3.6.271778Sextus Pompeius spoiled, we had not rated him
3.6.281779His part o'th'isle. Then does he say he lent me
3.6.291780Some shipping unrestored. Lastly, he frets
3.6.31Should be deposed,
1782and being, that we detain
All his revenue. Sir, this should be answered.
'Tis done already, and the messenger gone.
3.6.341785I have told him Lepidus was grown too cruel,
3.6.361787And did deserve his change. For what I have conquered,
3.6.371788I grant him part; but then in his Armenia,
Demand the like. He'll never yield to that.
Nor must not then be yielded to in this.
Hail, Caesar and my lord. Hail, most dear Caesar!
That ever I should call thee cast-away.
You have not called me so, nor have you cause.
Why have you stolen upon us thus? You come not
3.6.461797Like Caesar's sister. The wife of Antony
3.6.481799The neighs of horse to tell of her approach
3.6.491800Long ere she did appear. The trees by th'way
3.6.501801Should have borne men, and expectation fainted,
3.6.511802Longing for what it had not. Nay, the dust
3.6.521803Should have ascended to the roof of heaven,
3.6.531804Raised by your populous troops. But you are come
3.6.541805A market-maid to Rome, and have prevented
3.6.551806The ostentation of our love, which left unshown
3.6.561807Is often left unloved. We should have met you
With an augmented greeting. Good my lord,
3.6.591811To come thus was I not constrained, but did it
3.6.611813Hearing that you prepared for war, acquainted
His pardon for return. Which soon he granted,
3.6.641817Being an abstract 'tween his lust and him.
Do not say so, my lord.
Do not say so, my lord. I have eyes upon him,
Where is he now? My lord, in Athens.
No, my most wronged sister, Cleopatra
3.6.691823Hath nodded him to her. He hath given his empire
3.6.711825The kings o'th'earth for war. He hath assembled
3.6.741828Of Paphlagonia; the Thracian King Adullas,
Octavia
With a more larger list of sceptres. Ay me, most wretched,
3.6.801835That have my heart parted betwixt two friends
That does afflict each other! Welcome hither:
3.6.82Your letters did withhold our breaking forth
3.6.831838Till we perceived both how you were wrong-led
3.6.841839And we in negligent danger. Cheer your heart;
3.6.851840Be you not troubled with the time, which drives
3.6.861841O'er your content these strong necessities,
3.6.881843Hold unbewailed their way. Welcome to Rome,
3.6.901845Beyond the mark of thought, and the high gods,
3.6.921847Of us, and those that love you. Best of comfort,
Agrippa
And ever welcome to us. Welcome, lady.
Welcome, dear madam.
3.6.951850Each heart in Rome does love and pity you;
3.6.981853And gives his potent regiment to a trull
That noises it against us. Is it so, sir?
Most certain. Sister, welcome. Pray you
3.6.1011857Be ever known to patience. My dearest sister!
