This question is based on ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.
Cleopatra:
O, wither'd is the garland of the war,
The soldier's pole is fall'n: young boys and girls
Are level now with men; the odds is gone,
And there is nothing left remarkable
Beneath the visiting moon.
What is Cleopatra lamenting in this passage?
Cleopatra mourns Antony's death with poetic metaphors. "Garland of war" and "soldier's pole" symbolise his fallen heroism, showing how with his death, nobility and valour have vanished.
