Cleopatra taking it grieuously, and also in
great disdaine that Marcus Antonius should
make triall so oft of her loue, vpon a time
at a banquet and merrie meeting, whether it
were to giue him occasion neuer to be distrust-
full any more after, or for some other cause,
she began to delight him verie voluptuously,
after her old fashion that she vsed: namely,
with diuers and sundrie garlands of flowers,
whose leaues were all besprinckled with poy-
son. Some of the which she wearing vpon her
head, picked them out and brusing them a
little, cast them into his cuppe or goblet, per-
swading him to drinke it off. But whilest he
was about to do it, she putting her hand to it,
said thus, Oh my sweete heart Antonius, I
surely am the woman, which if I could liue
without thee, haue now a iust occasion to do
that, which by your curious trials you seeme
to feare. And hereby we may see what may
be the audacitie, and impudent boldnes of a
shamelesse woman.
