be the end. for as they say here: Where
the head goes the tail will follow More
over, Caesar has my challenge and il n. will
but meet me hand to hand, soon shall the
world see which is the better man, Antony
or Octavian." And even as he spoke and
the people cheered, there came the cry Of
IA messenger from Cesarr'
The herald entered, and, bowling low,
gave writing to Antony, bowed again. and
went Cleopatra sna; ched it from his hand,
broke the silk, and read aloud:

spoke to them, standing barc.!eaded in
their midst, beneath the radiance Of the

sit, the most proud Of men, at my right
hand n the Capitol of Rome. Fail me now,
and lost Is the cause Of Antony and lost are
