New Impression

And we went forth.

And thus I for the first time saw Cleopatra face to face.

An omen, royal Harmachis.

As she spoke, the man with a great cry, gave up the spirit.

Cleopatra

Before me was Cleopatra, but oh! how changed

Oh those nights upon the Nile!

Still she sits like yonder Sphinx, and smiles

Twice he leapt thus, horrible to see

'I've won,' she cried

She held it to the light and gave a little cry

And while I spoke, watching the stars, she sat and watched my face.

And thus I left her.

I seized him with my will and stare and drew him after me.

He fixed his gaze on Cleopatra... as a man who is amazed

I crown thee Pharaoh
