    ANTONY: All is lost!
    This foul Egyptian hath betrayed me:
    My fleet hath yielded to the foe, and yonder
    They cast their caps up and carouse together
    Like friends long lost. Triple-turned whore! 'tis thou
    Has sold me to this novice, and my heart
    Makes only wars on thee. Bid them all fly;
    For when I am revenged upon my charm,
    I have done all. Bid them all fly, begone.
    O sun, thy uprise shall I see no more.
    Fortune and Antony part here, even here
    Do we shake hands. All come to this? The hearts
    That spanieled me at heels, to whom I gave
    Their wishes, do discandy, melt their sweets
    On blossoming Caesar; and this pine is barked,
    That overtopped them all. Betrayed I am.
    O this false soul of Egypt! this grave charm,
    Whose eye becked forth my wars, and called them home,
    Whose bosom was my crownet, my chief end,
    Like a right gypsy hath at fast and loose
    Beguiled me to the very heart of loss.
    What, Eros, Eros! [Enter Cleopatra.] Ah, thou spell! Avaunt!
    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 diminitives, for dolts, and let
    Patient Octavia plough thy visage up
    With her preparèd nails. [Exit Cleopatra.] 'Tis well th' art 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' th' moon
    And with those hands that grasped the heaviest club
    Subdue my worthiest self. The witch shall die.
    To the young Roman boy she hath sold me, and I fall
    Under his plot: she dies for 't. Eros, ho!
