SCENE VII.

To Antony, Demetrius.
Ant.
Return'd so soon?—You had scant audience, sir.

Dem.
Short as her answer.—Having heard, and smiled
A scorn at my proposal—
“The head of Antony?” quoth she—“Tell your master,
“That when he shall have got two worlds to truck—”

Ant.
Two worlds!—ten worlds are in that answer—Sir,
We thank your pains!

Dem.
She is the Cleopatra of the earth!
Farewell, most noble Antony,—the great gods
Have you in keeping!

[Exit Demetrius.
