To which all hearts with mine gladly pay tribute,

Photinus's Name had long since been as great

As Ptolomies e'r was, or Cæsars is,

This made me as a weaker tye to unloose

The knot of Loyalty, that chain'd my freedom,

And slight the fear that Cæsars threats might cause,

That I and they might see no Sun appear

But Cleopatra in the Egyptian Sphear.

Cleo. O Giant-like Ambition! marryed to

Cymmerian darkness! inconsiderate Fool,
