In 30 BC M-A came to Egypt. to collect taxes . He fell in love with the last of the Ptotelemy's, Cleopatra the 13th.

And She Saide to him:

CLEOPATRA
If it be love indeed, tell me how much.

And He answered:

ANTONY
There's beggary in the love that can be reckon'd.

CLEOPATRA
I'll set a bourn how far to be belov'd.

ANTONY
Then must thou needs find out new heaven, new earth.

And then the day came when M-A had to return to Rome to see after his business. And She Saide:

CLEOPATRA
Seek no colour for your going,
Bid farewell, and go.
When you sued staying,
Then was the time for words.

Eternity was in our lips and eyes,
Bliss in our brows' bent,
None our parts so poor but was a race of heaven.

ANTONY
They are so still…

CLEOPATRA
…or thou, the greatest soldier of the world,
Art turn'd the greatest liar!

ANTONY
Our separation so abides and flies
That thou residing here goes yet with me…
…and I hence fleeting here remain with thee.

CLEOPATRA
…or thou, the greatest soldier of the world,
Art turn'd the greatest liar!
Liar!
