ENOBARBUS
Our great navy’s rigg’d.
EROS
For Italy and Cæsar. More, Domitius, [20]
My lord desires you presently: my news
I might have told hereafter.
ENOBARBUS
’Twill be naught,
But let it be. Bring me to Antony.
EROS
Come, sir.
(Exeunt.)
Scene VI IT
(Rome. Cæsar’s house.)
Enter Agrippa, Mæcenas, and Cæsar.
CÆSAR
Contemning Rome he has done all this, and more
In Alexandria: here’s the manner of’t:
I’ the market-place, on a tribunal silver’d,
Cleopatra and himself in chairs of gold
Were publicly enthron’d: at the feet sat [5]
Cæsarion, whom they call my father’s son,
And all the unlawful issue that their lust
Since then hath made between them. Unto her
He gave the stablishment of Egypt, made her
Of Lower Syria, Cyprus, Lydia, [10]
Absolute queen.
MÆCENAS
This in the public eye?
