ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA - STIBA Malang

William Shakespeare 69
POMPEY.
[Aside to MENAS.]
Forbear me till ano.n--
This wine for Lepidus!
LEPIDUS.
What manner o' thing is your crocodile?
ANTONY.
It is shaped, sir, like itself; and it is as broad as it hath breadth: it is just so
high as it is, and moves with it own organs: it lives by that which nourisheth
it, and the elements once out of it, it transmigrates. %
LEPIDUS.
What colour is it of?
ANTONY.
Of its own colour too.
LEPIDUS.
'Tis a strange serpent.
ANTONY.
'Tis so. And the tears of it are wet.
CAESAR.
Will this description satisfy him?
ANTONY.
With the health that Pompey gives him, else he is a very epicure.
POMPEY.
[Aside to MENAS.]
Go, hang, sir, hang! Tell me of that! away!
Do as I bid you.--Where's this cup I call'd for?
