SARDOU’S CLEOPATRA. ‘489 murmured. “I have suffered so much. My courage is at an end, Oh! tet. us never part again !”’ “T will follow you everywhere.” She looked up at him with something that was almost shyness. “But you are no longer free?” ‘Your love delivers me from all ties.” “You see now that without you I cannot live.” “Ah! what dangers you must have braved to come and join me here—the long voyage, Cesar and the Romans, the pirates who swarm every- where in these seas. How could I not love you after such heroic devotion.” “Antony, my dear lord!” - “Yours is all my love, yours is all my life!” She wound her white arms about his neck and laid her head upon his shoulder, thinking, with swelling heart: “Oh, fool that I was to envy Octavia !” A confused sound of voices and the trampling of feet were heard outside.
