Cæs. Look on your Cæsar; banish fear, my fairest, You now are safe. Sce. By Venus, not a kiss Till our work be done; the Traitors once dispatch'd To it, and we'll cry aim. Cæs. I will be speedy. [Exeunt. Cleo. Farewel again, Arsino; how now, Eros? Ever faint-hearted? Eros. But that I am assur'd, Your Excellency can command the General, I fear the Souldiers, for they look as if They would be nibling too. Cleo. He is all honour, Nor do I now repent me of my favours, Nor can I think that Nature e'r made a Woman That in her prime deserv'd him.

Enter Cæsar, Sceva, Antonie, Dolabella, Souldiers, with the Heads

Ars. He's come back, Pursue no further; curb the Souldiers fury. Cæs. See (beauteous Mistris) their accursed heads That did conspire against us. Sce. Furies plague 'em, They had too fair an end to dye like Souldiers, Pompey fell by the Sword, the Cross or Halter Should have dispatch'd them. Cæs. All is but death, good Sceva, Be therefore satisfied: and now my dearest, Look upon Cæsar, as he still appear'd A Conquerour, and this unfortunate King Entomb'd with honour, we'll to Rome, where Cæsar Will shew he can give Kingdoms; for the Senate, (Thy Brother dead) shall willingly decree The Crown of Egypt (that was his) to thee. [Exeunt omnes.

Prologue

New Titles warrant not a Play for new, The Subject being old; and 'tis as true, Fresh and neat matter may with ease be fram'd Out of their Stories, that have oft been nam'd With glory on the Stage; what borrows he From him that wrote old Priam's Tragedy, That writes his love to Hecuba? Sure to tell Of Cæsars amorous heats, and how he fell In the Capitol, can never be the same To the Judicious; Nor will such blame Those who pen'd this, for Barrenness when they find Young Cleopatra here, and her great Mind Expressed to the height, with us a Maid, and free, And how he rated her Virginitie. We treat not of what boldness she did dye, Nor of her fatal Love to Antony. What we present and offer to your view, Upon their faiths the Stage yet never knew. Let Reason then first to your Wills give laws, And after judge of them and of their cause.

Epilogue

I Now should wish another had my place, But that I hope to come off, and with Grace; And but express some sign that you are pleas'd, We of our doubts, they of their fears are eas'd. I would beg further (Gentlemen) and much say In favour of our selves, them, and the Play; Did I not rest assured, the most I see Hate Impudence, and cherish Modestie.
