Were she the sister of the thunderer Jove and bore her brother's lightning in her eyes, thus would I face my rival.
Peace, peace, my lovers, Juno.
When he grew weary of that household clog, he chose my easier bonds.
I loved not Caesar, 'twas but gratitude I paid his love.
The worst your malice can is but to say the greatest of mankind has been my slave The next, but far above him in my esteem, is he whom law calls yours, but whom his love made mine.
Oh you do well to search, for had you known but half these charms, you had not lost his heart.
You may blush who want them.
If bounteous nature, if indulgent heaven have given me charms to please the bravest man, should I not thank them?
Should I be ashamed and not proud?
I am that he has loved me, and, when I love not him, heaven change this face for one like that.
Yet she who loves him best is Cleopatra.
If you have suffered, I have suffered more.
You bear the specious title of a wife to guild your cause, and draw the pitying world to favour it.
The world condemns poor me, for I have lost my honour, lost my fame, and stained the glory of my royal house, and all to bear the branded name of Mistress.
There wants but life, and that too I would lose for him I love.
Be it so, then.
Taked, I wish.
And 'tis my wish now he is lost, for whom alone I lived.
My sight grows dim,
And every object dances and swims before me in the maze of death.
