CLEOPATRA

                                                    O!



              THIDIAS
               The scars upon your honour, therefore, he
               Does pity, as constrained blemishes,
               Not as deserv’d.



              CLEOPATRA

                               He is a god, and knows [60]
               What is most right. Mine honour was not yielded,
               But conquer’d merely.



              ENOBARBUS
                               (Aside.) To be sure of that,
               I will ask Antony. Sir, sir, thou art so leaky

               That we must leave thee to thy sinking for
               Thy dearest quit thee.
                                                                                                          (Exit.)



              THIDIAS
                               Shall I say to Cæsar [65]

               What you require of him? for he partly begs
               To be desir’d to give. It much would please him,
               That of his fortunes you should make a staff
               To lean upon. But it would warm his spirits
               To hear from me you had left Antony, [70]

               And put yourself under his shroud,
               The universal landlord.



              CLEOPATRA
                               What’s your name?



              THIDIAS
               My name is Thidias.
