Antony and Cleopatra
CLEOPATRA.
Didst hear her speak? is she shrill-tongu'd or low?
MESSENGER.
Madam, I heard her speak: she is low-voic'd. %
CLEOPATRA.
That's not so good:--he cannot like her long.
CHARMIAN.
Like her! O Isis! 'tis impossible.
CLEOPATRA.
I think so, Charmian: dull of tongue and dwarfish!--
What majesty is in her gait? Remember,
If e'er thou look'dst on majesty.
MESSENGER.
She creeps,--
Her motion and her station are as one;
She shows a body rather than a life,
A statue than a breather.
CLEOPATRA.
MESSENGER.
Or I have no observance.
Is this certain?
CHARMIAN.
Three in Egypt
Cannot make better note.
CLEOPATRA.
He's very knowing;
I do perceive't:--there's nothing in her yet:--
The fellow has good judgment.
