Jack:
Give me my robe, put on my crown, I have
Immortal longings in me. Now no more
The juice of Egypt's grape shall moist this lip.
Yare, yare, good Iras; quick: methinks I hear
Antony call. I see him rouse himself...
etc.

Cleopatra's last speech, in Act V of Antony and Cleopatra, just before she commits suicide

Impressive, Jack!!

Chris Kulczicky's comments on the Yare design were: 

"Quick and nimble, leaves less of a wake than a duck!" 

None of it exagerrated.
