Subject:        Cleopatra

Nothing new about "Caesar's Revenge" (anon - 1607) except that Cleopatra
was surely a picture of Queen Elizabeth, a red-blond virgin, beautiful,
intelligent, but nothing really to do with the plot.  A sort of
flattery, something the audience would know.  She has a bigger part in
Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."
