MALLARD

7th November 2023

She once being loofed,

The noble ruin of her magic, Antony,

Claps on his sea-wings and like a doting mallard,

Leaving the fight in height, flies after her.

I never saw an action of such shame.

Experience, manhood, ne’er before

Did violate so itself.

SCARUS: Antony & Cleopatra, Act 3, Scene 10
