Post 12.6.2014.3

Cleopatra:  Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have
Immortal longings in me; now no more
The juice of Egypt's grape shall moist this lip.
Yare, Yare, good Iras; quick.  Methinks I hear
Antony call; I see him rouse himself
To praise my noble act; I hear him mock
The luck of Caesar, which the gods give men
To excuse their after wrath: husband, I come:
Now to that name my courage prove my title!
I am fire and air; my other elements
I give to baser life.  So; have you done?
come then, and take the last warmth of my lips.

Act V, Scene 2
