Annotation:
	Offers alternative reading of Antony's line “See how I convey my shame out of thine eyes” from Antony and Cleopatra, considering Shakespeare’s dramatization of Antony. Proposes that Shakespeare drew on widely circulating ancient Greek proverb—“Shame is in the eyes" and supports his claim with Erasmus’s interpretation of proverb in Adagia and Aristotle’s explanation of proverb in Rhetoric.
