'Tis not Antonius, worthy soldiers, But Room herself to whom you owe your valours What he could claim, you have performed already; And served him truly, while he was to you A General, to Room a Magistrate. You are discharged from all obedience You owed to him, by fate it self, and may Nay, ought to follow him, whom Roman fates Appoint your General, the noble Caesar Great Julius heir, not to his name alone But spirit and Fortune's, which have both appeared In this so great and final a defeat Given to Antonius. Before we knew not oh whom the Gods and Fortune had assigned Our service soldiers; now they have declared. and let us follow where they please to led. or faith is impious striving to sustain That side, whose fallen the Gods themselves ordain. our judgments guide you right; for could you think oh small a strength as ours could raise again The desperate state of fallen Antonius, nder whose ruin all those legions sunk? hat madness were it, soldiers to prefer A hopeless civil war before the weal And peace of Room? and desperately provoke The prosperous Fortune's of victorious Caesar ? have already to Cornelius Gall us Dio.

Plot summary
Plot — Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt
PLOT Though he has a wife in Rome, Antonius is devoted to Cleopatra. Provocatively, he bestows on her three eastern Provinces which were under Roman rule. News arrives from Rome that all but one of his rivals have been eclipsed; the remaining politician, Caesar, is too proud to share power and has engrossed the others' confiscated estates to himself rather than dividing them with Antonius. Antonius abandons hedonism to prepare for war, and Cleopatra forces him to allow her to accompany him. Portents appear in Egypt and Rome, including a comet. During the decisive battle, Cleopatra flees and Antonius follows her, leaving his navy to be massacred; his soldiers transfer their allegiance to Caesar. Antonius goes to live in misanthropic seclusion, madly taking on the name and identity of Timon of Athens. Cleopatra offers Caesar gold to keep herself and her dynasty on the Egyptian throne. Caesar wants the gold, but also wants to display her at his triumph; but, knowing that she will never allow herself to be humiliated, he decides on a ruse. Meanwhile, Cleopatra investigates suicide methods, only to be told that there is no chemical poison which is both fast-acting and painless: her only option is the bite of an asp.

Antonius is brought back to his senses by the news of his army's defection, and prepares to return to Cleopatra. While she is expecting his arrival, Thyreus brings her a message from Caesar, who claims to be in love with her. She is minded to accept and give Caesar one of her towns, but Antonius' friends suspect a plot and Thyreus is imprisoned. She accuses Antonius of unreasonable jealousy and threatens suicide, so Thyreus is released and sent back to Caesar with her acceptance of his terms. Cleopatra realizes that she has played false on both sides: her arrangement with Caesar will cost her Antonius' love, but conversely she cannot trust Caesar. While Antonius goes into battle, she retires to her tomb. After Antonius is routed, she sends him false news of her death, and he reacts suicidally. Learning the truth too late, he has himself taken to the tomb so that he can die in Cleopatra's arms. She realizes Caesar's insincerity and resolves to kill herself with the asp. Caesar brings medical specialists, but they are too late to save her life. Caesar honours Antonius and Cleopatra in death, and…
