Thou, eunuch Mardian!
Cleopatra
Thou, eunuch Mardian!
Mardian
What's your Highness' pleasure?
Cleopatra
Not now to hear thee sing. I take no pleasure
In aught an eunuch has. ‘Tis well for thee
That, being unseminared, thy freer thoughts
May not fly forth of Egypt. Hast thou affections?
Mardian
Yes, gracious madam.
Cleopatra
Indeed?
Mardian
Not in deed, madam, for I can do nothing
But what indeed is honest to be done.
Yet have I fierce affections, and think
What Venus did with Mars.
