My lord desires you presently: my news

Eno. 'Twill be naught;
But let it be. Bring me to Antony. 24

Enter Agrippa, Mæcenas, and Cæsar.
Cæs. Contemning Rome, he has done all this and more
In Alexandria; here's the manner of 't;
I' the market-place, on a tribunal silver'd,
Cleopatra and himself in chairs of gold 4
Were publicly enthron'd; at the feet sat
Cæsarion, whom they call my father's son,
And all the unlawful issue that their lust
Since then hath made between them. Unto her 8
He gave the 'stablishment of Egypt; made her
Of Lower Syria, Cyprus, Lydia,
Absolute queen.
Mæc. This in the public eye?
Cæs. I' the common show-place, where they exercise. 12
His sons he there proclaim'd the kings of kings;
Great Media, Parthia, and Armenia
He gave to Alexander; to Ptolemy he assign'd
Syria, Cilicia, and Phœnicia. She 16
In the habiliments of the goddess Isis
22 presently: at once
1 Contemning: scorning
3 tribunal: raised platform
6 my father's son; cf. n.
9 'stablishment: settled occupation
