Should have dispatch'd them.

_Caes._ All is but death, good _Sceva_,
Be therefore satisfied: and now my dearest,
Look upon _Caesar_, as he still appear'd
A Conquerour, and this unfortunate King
Entomb'd with honour, we'll to _Rome_, where _Caesar_
Will shew he can give Kingdoms; for the Senate,
(Thy Brother dead) shall willingly decree
The Crown of _Egypt_ (that was his) to thee. [_Exeunt omnes._

PROLOGUE.

_New Titles warrant not a Play for new,_
_The Subject being old; and 'tis as true,_
_Fresh and neat matter may with ease be fram'd_
_Out of their Stories, that have oft been nam'd_
_With glory on the Stage; what borrows he_
_From him that wrote old_ Priam's _Tragedy,_
_That writes his love to_ Hecuba? _Sure to tell_
_Of_ Caesars _amorous heats, and how he fell_
_In the Capitol, can never be the same_
_To the Judicious; Nor will such blame_
_Those who pen'd this, for Barrenness when they find_
_Young_ Cleopatra _here, and her great Mind_
_Expressed to the height, with us a Maid, and free,_
_And how he rated her Virginitie._
_We treat not of what boldness she did dye,_
_Nor of her fatal Love to_ Antony.
_What we present and offer to your view,_
_Upon their faiths the Stage yet never knew._
_Let Reason then first to your Wills give laws,_
_And after judge of them and of their cause._

EPILOGUE.

_I Now should wish another had my place,_
_But that I hope to come off, and with Grace;_
_And but express some sign that you are pleas'd,_
_We of our doubts, they of their fears are eas'd._
_I would beg further (Gentlemen) and much say_
_In favour of our selves, them, and the Play;_
_Did I not rest assured, the most I see_
_Hate Impudence, and cherish Modestie._
