Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 5]

Cleopatra

526

That I might sleep out this great gap of time
My Antony is away.

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 2]

Octavius

734

No more than my residing here at Rome
Might be to you in Egypt: yet, if you there
Did practise on my state, your being in Egypt
Might be my question.

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 2]

Domitius Enobarus

765

Would we had all such wives, that the men might go
to wars with the women!

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 2]

Mecaenas

806

If it might please you, to enforce no further
The griefs between ye: to forget them quite
Were to remember that the present need
Speaks to atone you.

5

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 6]

Domitius Enobarus

1332

There I deny my land service. But give me your
hand, Menas: if our eyes had authority, here they
might take two thieves kissing.

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 7]

Menas

1485

The third part, then, is drunk: would it were all,
That it might go on wheels!

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 2]

Octavius

1622

You take from me a great part of myself;
Use me well in 't. Sister, prove such a wife
As my thoughts make thee, and as my farthest band
Shall pass on thy approof. Most noble Antony,
Let not the piece of virtue, which is set
Betwixt us as the cement of our love,
To keep it builded, be the ram to batter
The fortress of it; for better might we
Have loved without this mean, if on both parts
This be not cherish'd.

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 3]

Cleopatra

1690

That Herod's head
I'll have: but how, when Antony is gone
Through whom I might command it? Come thou near.

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 5]

Eros

1814

For Italy and Caesar. More, Domitius;
My lord desires you presently: my news
I might have told hereafter.

10

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 7]

Antony

1969

A good rebuke,
Which might have well becomed the best of men,
To taunt at slackness. Canidius, we
Will fight with him by sea.

11

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 11]

Antony

2173

Egypt, thou knew'st too well
My heart was to thy rudder tied by the strings,
And thou shouldst tow me after: o'er my spirit
Thy full supremacy thou knew'st, and that
Thy beck might from the bidding of the gods
Command me.

12

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 12]

Euphronius

2211

Lord of his fortunes he salutes thee, and
Requires to live in Egypt: which not granted,
He lessens his requests; and to thee sues
To let him breathe between the heavens and earth,
A private man in Athens: this for him.
Next, Cleopatra does confess thy greatness;
Submits her to thy might; and of thee craves
The circle of the Ptolemies for her heirs,
Now hazarded to thy grace.

13

Antony and Cleopatra
[IV, 2]

Antony

2539

And thou art honest too.
I wish I could be made so many men,
And all of you clapp'd up together in
An Antony, that I might do you service
So good as you have done.

14

Antony and Cleopatra
[IV, 4]

Cleopatra

2669

Lead me.
He goes forth gallantly. That he and Caesar might
Determine this great war in single fight!
Then Antony,—but now—Well, on.

[IV, 12]

Antony

2940

Vanish, or I shall give thee thy deserving,
And blemish Caesar's triumph. Let him take thee,
And hoist thee up to the shouting plebeians:
Follow his chariot, like the greatest spot
Of all thy sex; most monster-like, be shown
For poor'st diminutives, for doits; and let
Patient Octavia plough thy visage up
With her prepared nails.
[Exit CLEOPATRA]
'Tis well thou'rt gone,
If it be well to live; but better 'twere
Thou fell'st into my fury, for one death
Might have prevented many. Eros, ho!
The shirt of Nessus is upon me: teach me,
Alcides, thou mine ancestor, thy rage:
Let me lodge Lichas on the horns o' the moon;
And with those hands, that grasp'd the heaviest club,
Subdue my worthiest self. The witch shall die:
To the young Roman boy she hath sold me, and I fall
Under this plot; she dies for't. Eros, ho!

Diomedes

3137

Lock'd in her monument. She had a prophesying fear
Of what hath come to pass: for when she saw—
Which never shall be found—you did suspect
She had disposed with Caesar, and that your rage
Would not be purged, she sent you word she was dead;
But, fearing since how it might work, hath sent
Me to proclaim the truth; and I am come,
I dread, too late.

Antony and Cleopatra
[V, 2]

Cleopatra

3481

I dream'd there was an Emperor Antony:
O, such another sleep, that I might see
But such another man!

Dolabella

If it might please ye,—

Cleopatra

3502

Think you there was, or might be, such a man
As this I dream'd of?

Dolabella

3511

Hear me, good madam.
Your loss is as yourself, great; and you bear it
As answering to the weight: would I might never
O'ertake pursued success, but I do feel,
By the rebound of yours, a grief that smites
My very heart at root.
