(Exeunt.)

Scene III IT

(The Same.)

Enter Cleopatra, Charmian, Alexas, and Iras.

CLEOPATRA
Where is he?

CHARMIAN

I did not see him since.

CLEOPATRA

See where he is, who’s with him, what he does:
I did not send you. If you find him sad,
Say I am dancing; if in mirth, report

That I am sudden sick. Quick, and return. [5]
(Exit Alexas.)

CHARMIAN
Madam, methinks if you did love him dearly
You do not hold the method, to enforce
The like from him.

CLEOPATRA
What should I do, I do not?

CHARMIAN

In each thing give him way, cross him in nothing.

CLEOPATRA

Thou teachest like a fool: the way to lose him. [10]

CHARMIAN
