Trowbridge mourns Rayburn: Antony and Cleopatra

President Rayburn is dead, Grace Penn is about to take the oath, and Trowbridge clears his diary to recite Cleopatra: "His legs bestrid the ocean; his reared arm crested the world." In Act 5 she says it to one of Caesar's men while describing a dream of the dead Antony, so it's a eulogy delivered to the winning side. He makes it to rattling thunder before the Americans rule that no foreign leader goes in the photo.
