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.)
