Cleopatra

“Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetite they feed, but she makes
Hungry, where most she satisfies.” (AC.2.2)

Tips on Use. Answer to “Will you always love me even when I am old?” Change the case of the particle from ‘her’ to you and from ‘she makes’ to ‘you make’ and from ‘she’ to ‘you’.  ‘Age cannot wither you, nor custom stale / Your infinite variety. Other women cloy / The appetite they feed, but you make / Hungry where most you satisfy.’ See also ‘Writing. Confidence in your writing power.’

In the play.  Lt. Enobarbus, while in Rome accompanying Antony to a meeting with Octavian and Lepidus, extols to a friend Cleopatra’s talents.
