Antony and Cleopatra

Act 4, Scene 13

SCENE XIII. Alexandria. Cleopatra's palace.

    Enter CLEOPATRA, CHARMIAN, IRAS, and MARDIAN

CLEOPATRA

    Help me, my women! O, he is more mad
    Than Telamon for his shield; the boar of Thessaly
    Was never so emboss'd.

CHARMIAN

    To the monument!
    There lock yourself, and send him word you are dead.
    The soul and body rive not more in parting
    Than greatness going off.

CLEOPATRA

    To the monument!
    Mardian, go tell him I have slain myself;
    Say, that the last I spoke was 'Antony,'
    And word it, prithee, piteously: hence, Mardian,
    And bring me how he takes my death.
    To the monument!

    Exeunt
