130. Antony and Cleopatra continued - Your serpent of Egypt is bred now of your mud by the operation of your sun

Antony leaves Egypt and Cleopatra to meet Octavian and Lepidus to meet the threat of Pompey. Agrippa arranges a marriage between Antony and Octavia, Octavian's sister.

Anthony is neglecting his duty while dalying with Cleopatra. He receives news that his wife, Fulvia, has died.

I read and analyze T.S Eliot's Christmas poem, "The Journey of the Magi." I include a reading of Lancelot Andrewe's Christmas Homily that Eliot stole, err relied heavily upon in this poem.

Anthony, in misfortune, was most nearly a virtuous man.

We read Plutarch and see how much Shakespeare stole. Rather a lot, really.
