The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra · c. 1606
Act IV, Scene 13
[Alexandria. A Room in the 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 embossed.
CHARMIAN.
To th’ 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 th’ 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 th’ monument!
[Exeunt.]
