Reminded me of reading at sixth form. We focussed then on very specific parts. The lines still echo in my head , reading them brought me back a bit.

Methinks I hear / Antony call. I see him rouse himself/ to praise my noble act.

 But yet let me lament / With tears as sovereign as the blood of hearts / That thou, my brother, my competitor / In top of all design, my mate in empire, / Friend and companion in the front of war, / The arm of mine own body, and the heart / Where mine his thoughts did kindle - that our stars, / Unreconciliable, should divide / Our equalness to this.

Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have / Immortal longings in me … Husband I come: / Now to that name my courage prove my title! / I am fire and air; my other elements / I give to baser life.

*(most of my ratings unless otherwise specified are based on how much I enjoyed the text, rather than attempting to form an objective view of how *good* it was craft-wise - and this is always the case for books published before about 1950)
