I've touch'd the highest point of all my greatness!
And from that full meridian of my glory,
I hafte now to my fetting. I fhall fall,
Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
And no man fee me more.

Henry VIII. A. 3. Sc. 2.

Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness !.
This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope; to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blufhing honours thick. upon him
The third day comes a froft, a killing froft,
And, when he thinks, good eafy man, full furely.
His greatness is a ripening, nips his root,..
And then he falls, as I do. I have ventur'd,
Like little wanton boys that fwim on bladders,
Thefe many fummers in a fea of glory;:

But far beyond my depth-My high-blown pride-
At length broke under me, and now has left me, edT
Weary and old with fervice, to the mercy

Of a rude

Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye;:

Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours!.
There is, betwixt that fmile we would afpire to,
That fweet afpect of princes, and our ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have;
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to rife again.

It must be by his death.. and, for my part,
I know no perfonal caufe to fpurn at him,
But for the general. He would be crown'd:-

It is the bright day that brings forth the adder;

And then I grant we put a fting in him

The abufe of greatnefs is, when it disjoins

Remorfe from power:-and, to fpeak truth of Cafar,
I have not known when his affections fway'd
More than his reafon. But 'tis a common proof, 04-
That lowlinefs is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber upwards turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmoft round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, fcorning the bafe degrees
By which he did afcend. So Cæfar may;
Then, left he may, prevent: and fince the quarrel
Will bear no colour, for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus that what he is, augmented,
Would run to thefe and thefe extremities;
And therefore think him as a ferpent's egg,

Which, hatch'd, would as his kind grow mifchievous;
And kill him in the fhell.

ANTONY.

(Cleopatra's Chara&er of him.)

His face was as the heavens; and therein ftuck
A fun and moon, which kept their courfe, and lighted
The little O, the earth.

His legs beftrid the ocean: his rear'd arm
Crefted the world: his voice was property'd
As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends;
But, when he meant to quail and shake the orb,
He was as rattling thunder. For his bounty,
There was no winter in't,- -an autumn 'twas,
That grew the more by reaping. His delights
Were dolphin-like; they fhew'd his back above
The element they liv'd in. In his living
Walk'd crowns and crownets; realms and islands
Were as plates dropt from his pocket.es
If there be, or ever were, one fuch,mai
It's paft the fize of dreaming. Nature wants ftuff
To vie ftrange forms with fancy; yet to imagine
An Antony, were Nature's piece gainst fancy,
Condemning fhadows quite.
