IRAS.
Finish, good lady. The bright day is done,
And we are for the dark.
CLEOPATRA.
Hie thee again.
I have spoke already, and it is provided.
Go put it to the haste.
CHARMIAN.
Madam, I will.
Enter Dolabella.
DOLABELLA.
Where’s the Queen?
CHARMIAN.
Behold, sir.
[Exit.]
CLEOPATRA.
Dolabella!
DOLABELLA.
Madam, as thereto sworn by your command,
Which my love makes religion to obey,
I tell you this: Caesar through Syria
Intends his journey, and within three days
You with your children will he send before.
Make your best use of this. I have performed
Your pleasure and my promise.
CLEOPATRA.
Dolabella,
I shall remain your debtor.
