CAESAR. / Contemning Rome, he has done all this, and more / In Alexandria. Here's the manner of 't: / I' th' market-place, on a tribunal silvered, / Cleopatra and himself in chairs of gold / Were publicly enthroned. At the feet sat / Caesarion, whom they call my father's son, / And all the unlawful issue that their lust / Since then hath made between them. Unto her / He gave the stablishment of Egypt; made her / Of lower Syria, Cyprus, Lydia, / Absolute queen.
