To cool a gypsy's lust -- No single thing abides but all things flow -- O'erflows the measure -- Oh, my oblivion is a very Antony -- Antony and Octavia: a sacrifice to Roman power -- I that do bring the news made not the match -- In the east my pleasure lies -- You will be whipped -- The god Hercules withdraws -- This foul Egyptian hath betrayed me -- I am dying, Egypt, dying -- The round world / should have shook lions into civil streets -- He words me, girls, he words me -- Some squeaking Cleopatra boy my greatness -- I wish you all joy of the worm -- I am fire and air.
