Act IV, Scene xii:
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 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, pr'ythee, piteously: hence, Mardian;

And bring me how he takes my death.—

To the monument!

[Exeunt.]
