text: 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 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
