ALL THE LOOKERS-ON A heavy sight. ANTONY I am dying, Egypt, dying. Give me some wine, and let me speak a little. CLEOPATRA No, let me speak, and let me rail so high That the false huswife Fortune break her wheel, Provoked by my offence. ANTONY One word, sweet queen. Of Caesar seek your honour, with your safety. O! CLEOPATRA They do not go together. ANTONY Gentle, hear me: None about Caesar trust but Proculeius. CLEOPATRA My resolution and my hands I’ll trust, None about Caesar. [Antony and Cleopatra 4.16.42-52]
