You had an asp and got bit, in the tit

from Nice Peter & EpicLLOYD (Ft. Angela Trimbur & Kimmy Gatewood) – Marilyn Monroe vs Cleopatra Lyrics on Rap Genius

After Mark Antony lost the Battle of Actium to Octavian, he committed suicide, and Cleopatra did too shortly thereafter. According to one story, she poked an asp until it bit her, causing her death. Shakespeare was the one who introduced the detail that it was a bite on the breast. Before that, it was generally depicted as a bite on the arm.
