With this disgrace (though insupportable)

Can you imagine, that Romes glorious Senate

(To whose charge, by the will of the dead King

This government was deliver'd) or great Pompey,

(That is appointed Cleopatra's Guardian

As well as Ptolomies) will e're approve

Of this rash counsel, their consent not sought for,

That should authorize it?

Achil. The Civil war

In which the Roman Empire is embarqu'd
