The soldier's pole is fallen; young boys and girls
Are level now with men; the odds is gone,
And there is nothing left remarkable
Beneath the visiting moon. Antony and Cleopatra, 4. 15

desolation does begin to make
A better life. 'Tis paltry to be Caesar;
Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave,
A minister of her will: and it is great
To do that thing that ends all other deeds;
Which shackles accidents and bolts up change;
Which sleeps, and never palates more the dug,
The beggar's nurse and Caesar's. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2

words me, girls, he words me, that I should not
Be noble to myself. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2

good lady; the bright day is done,
And we are for the dark. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2

Shall be brought drunken forth, and I shall see
Some squeaking Cleopatra boy my greatness
I' the posture of a whore. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2
My
resolution's placed, and I have nothing
Of woman in me: now from head to foot
I am marble-constant; now the fleeting moon
No planet is of mine. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2
His
biting
is immortal; those that do die of it do seldom or
never recover. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2

wish you all joy of the worm. Antony

me my robe, put on my crown; I have
Immortal longings in me. Antony
and Cleopatra, 5. 2
