Act 4, Scene 13

Alexandria. Cleopatra's palace.

Enter CLEOPATRA, CHARMIAN, IRAS, and MARDIAN.

Cleopatra

Help me, my women! O, he's more mad

Than Telamon for his shield; the boar of Thessaly

Was never so embossed.

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.
