Charles: Cecco, our Circes from the Nile.
(Cecco goes.
2d Lady: The Nile! Ah, Cleopatra's Nile?
Charles: Her own;
And sinuous as Nile water is their grace.
Enter two Egyptian girls, who dance, then go.
Guests (applauding): Bravely!—O, brave!
Charles: Do they not whirl it lithe?
With limbs like swallow wings upon the blue?
1st Lady: 'Twas witchery!
3d Lady: Such eyes! such hair!
2d Lady: And thus,
Did Cleopatra thus steal Antony?
Wrap him about with motion that would seize
His senses to an ecstasy? O, oh,
To dance so!
Charles: And so steal an Antony?
We'll frame a law on thieving of men's heart's!
