weight; good Isis, I beseech thee! 

 IRAS. Amen. Dear goddess, hear that prayer of the people! For, as it is a heartbreaking to see a handsome man loose-wived, so it is a deadly sorrow to behold a foul knave uncuckolded. Therefore, dear Isis, keep decorum and fortune him accordingly! 

 CHARMIAN. Amen. 

 ALEXAS. Lo now, if it lay in their hands to make me a cuckold, they would make themselves whores but they’d do’t! 

 Enter Cleopatra. 

Cleopatra

 ENOBARBUS. Hush, Here comes Antony. 

 CHARMIAN. Not he, the queen. 

 CLEOPATRA. Saw you my lord? 

 ENOBARBUS. No, lady. 

 CLEOPATRA. Was he not here? 

 CHARMIAN. No, madam. 

 CLEOPATRA. He was disposed to mirth; but on the sudden A Roman thought hath struck him. Enobarbus! 

 ENOBARBUS. Madam? 

 CLEOPATRA. Seek him and bring him hither. Where’s Alexas? 

 ALEXAS. Here, at your service. My lord approaches. 

 Enter Antony with a Messenger. 

Antony

Messenger

 CLEOPATRA. We will not look upon him. Go with us.
