No grave upon the earth shall clip in it A pair so famous.(雙關語「Clip」的浪漫象徵：動詞「clip」在當時兼具「容納」與「擁抱」之意，象徵生前被拆散的兩人，最終在墳墓中獲得永恆的團圓與勝利。) 莎士比亞悲劇《安東尼與克麗奧佩脫拉》（Antony and Cleopatra）的最後一段詩句出自第五幕第二場（Act 5, Scene 2），由勝利者屋大維（Octavius Caesar）在發現克麗奧佩脫拉與侍女們服毒自殺後說出。這段結尾台詞既是一篇莊嚴的悼詞，也宣告了羅馬帝國新秩序的誕生與這對傳奇戀人在精神上的不朽。

原文與中文翻譯

根據 MIT Shakespeare 劇本原文，全劇最後的台詞如下： [1]

全文原文及詳細白話翻譯可參閱劇本原文出處。其核心意涵與文學解析如下： [1]

承認兩人的愛情與名分：屋大維在台詞中稱安東尼為「她的安東尼（her Antony）」，超越了政治立場，正式承認克麗奧佩脫拉與安東尼在精神上的夫妻關係。 [1, 2]

OCTAVIUS CAESAR

O noble weakness!
If they had swallow'd poison, 'twould appear
By external swelling: but she looks like sleep,
As she would catch another Antony
In her strong toil of grace.

DOLABELLA

Here, on her breast,
There is a vent of blood and something blown:
The like is on her arm.

First Guard

This is an aspic's trail: and these fig-leaves
Have slime upon them, such as the aspic leaves
Upon the caves of Nile.

OCTAVIUS CAESAR

Most probable
That so she died; for her physician tells me
She hath pursued conclusions infinite
Of easy ways to die. Take up her bed;
And bear her women from the monument:
She shall be buried by her Antony:
No grave upon the earth shall clip in it
A pair so famous. High events as these
Strike those that make them; and their story is
No less in pity than his glory which
Brought them to be lamented. Our army shall
In solemn show attend this funeral;
And then to Rome. Come, Dolabella, see
High order in this great solemnity.

勝利者的哀矜與反思：屋大維坦言這場悲劇震撼了促成者，並將自身的「榮耀」與戀人的「哀憐」並置，對偉大對手展現出政治贏家的敬意。 [1, 2, 3]
克麗奧佩脫拉的最終勝利：屋大維下令以最高規格的軍禮為其舉喪，使女王免受被遊街羞辱的命運，以尊嚴為此生謝幕。 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
