Cleo.

Sir, I will eate no meate, Ile not drinke sir,

If idle talke will once be necessary

Ile not sleepe neither. This mortall house Ile ruine,

Do Cæsar what he can. Know sir, that I

Will not waite pinnion'd at your Masters Court,

Nor once be chastic'd with the sober eye

Of dull Octauia. Shall they hoyst me vp,

And shew me to the showting Varlotarie

Of censuring Rome? Rather a ditch in Egypt.

Be gentle graue vnto me, rather on Nylus mudde

Lay me starke‑nak'd, and let the water‑Flies

Blow me into abhorring; rather make

My Countries high pyramides my Gibbet,

And hang me vp in Chaines.
