Cleopatra: Whoever is born on a day I forget to send a message to Antony will die a beggar. Bring ink and paper, Charmian. Welcome, my good Alexas. Charmian, did I ever love Caesar as much as this?
Charmian:
Oh, that splendid Caesar!
Cleopatra:
May you choke on any other sentiments like that! Say, “That splendid Antony.â€
Charmian:
The courageous Caesar!
Cleopatra:
By Isis, I’ll give you bloody teeth if you ever compare Caesar with Antony, my best man among men.
— William Shakespeare
