Final answer:
The phrase 'The ne'er-lust-wearied Antony' refers to Mark Antony, who formed a significant alliance with Cleopatra and was defeated at the Battle of Actium by Octavian.
Therefore, the correct answer is: option B) Antony.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark Antony was a Roman general under Julius Caesar and later triumvir who ruled Rome's eastern provinces (43–30 BCE).
He was the lover of Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, and was defeated by Octavian (the future emperor Augustus) in the last of the civil wars that destroyed the Roman Republic.
The phrase "The ne'er-lust-wearied Antony" refers to Mark Antony, a Roman politician and general who was a key player in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.
Antony's alliance with Cleopatra and their subsequent defeat at the Battle of Actium by Octavian, his rival for power, is a significant event that led to the establishment of the Roman Empire under Octavian, who would become Emperor Augustus.
Antony, in Shakespeare's play similarly as in Roman history, maybe a leader of incredible power, intelligence and courage but he is flawed for the sake of the tragic notion. His fervent love for Cleopatra blinds him and strips him of his honour and duties, as the war commander and a husband to his Roman wife, Octavia.
