SCENE III. Alexandria. A Room in the Palace.
Enter Cleopatra, Charmian, Iras and Alexas.
CLEOPATRA.
Where is the fellow?
ALEXAS.
Half afeared to come.
CLEOPATRA.
Go to, go to.
Enter a Messenger as before.
Come hither, sir.
ALEXAS.
Good majesty,
Herod of Jewry dare not look upon you
But when you are well pleased.
CLEOPATRA.
That Herod’s head
I’ll have! But how, when Antony is gone,
Through whom I might command it?—Come thou near.
