Note 374 — LIFE OF ANTONIUS.
George Long translation
Antonius was at Tarsus on the river Cydnus when Cleopatra paid him this visit, B.C. 41. Shakespere has used this passage of Plutarch in his “Antony and Cleopatra,” act ii. sc. 2—
“The barge she sat in, like a burnish’d throne, Burnt on the water,” &c.
