Today’s Totally Random Line(s)

 

 Bring in the banquet quickly; wine enough Cleopatra’s health to drink.


Domitius Enobarbus

Antony and Cleopatra      Act I,  Scene ii,  Line 12


The scene, at this point both before and after Enobarbus’s line, is about Charmian getting her palm read. We have Charmian, Iras, Alexas, and the Soothsayer on stage as Enobarbus makes his entrance. His line seems to be ignored by everyone present as they continue to discuss Charmian’s fortune based on her palm reading.

It’s a bit odd. 



Anything?

Is "banquet" meal? Like "bring in the spread, we thirsty"?
