When Marcus Antonius wanted to drink, Cleopatra insisted that it first rehearsal taster. A few minutes later the poor man fell dead. Cleopatra had explained to terrified Antonius that the two were already drunk the antidote and the key thing in a relationship is trust, that he have to believe that she is so clever she can poison him whenever she wants.
