In few, we saw their caps On either side thrown up; the Egyptian g-alleys, Received like friends, passed through, and fell behind The Roman rear; and now, they all come forward, And ride within the port. Cleo. Enough, Serapion : I've heard my doom.— This needed not, you gods: When I lost Antony, your work was done; 'Tis but superfluous malice.
Page 244 - Could you not beg An hour's admittance to his private ear? Like one, who wanders through long barren wilds, And yet foreknows no hospitable inn...
Page 210 - Now, what news, my Charmion ? Will he be kind? and will he not forsake me? Am I to live, or die ? — nay, do I live ? Or am I dead ? for when he gave his answer, Fate took the word, and then I lived or died.
Page 232 - He shall draw back his troops, and you shall march To rule the East: I may be dropt at Athens; No matter where. I never will complain, But only keep the barren name of wife. And rid you of the trouble.
