Shows hlessed, like herself. Cleopatra. And that great hlessedness You first reaped of me : till you taught my nature, Like a rude storm, to talk aloud and thunder. Sleep was not gentler than my soul, and stiller. You had the spring of my affections. And my fair fruits I gave you leave to taste of ; You must expect the winter of mine anger. You flung me off— hefore the court disgraced me — When in the pride I appeared of all my heauty — Digitized by LjOOQIC CLEOPATRA. 165 Appeared your mistress... ; took unto your eyes The common strumpet, love of hated lucre,-^ Courted with coTetous heart the slave of nature,-^ Gave all your thoughts to gold, that men of glory, And minds adom'd with nohle love, would kick at ! Soldiers of royal mark scorn such base purchase ; Beauty and honour are the marks they shoot at* I spake to you then, I courted yon, and woo'd you, CallM you dear Csesar, hung about you tenderly. Was proud to appear your friend — C^SAR, You have mistaken me.
