Cleopatra And Padmavathi Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Cleopatra had been Egypt's queen.
No historical evidences lie.
Many versions of her tale circulate.
In all versions she is shown as beauty.

She has been dignified by Shakespeare
In his play, Antony and Cleopatra.
She has been on satire by Bernard Shaw
In his play, Caesar and Cleopatra.

Both plays were welcome and read all over.
The pride of Egypt was not held at stake.
The literary merit was taken into account.
The cultured Hindus stall Padmavathy'srelease.
