The quote is from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar Act 3 Scene I in which the character Cassius says to Brutus 'Stoop, then, and wash. How many ages hence shall this our lofty scene be acted over in states unborn and accents yet unknown!'

What does the quote how many ages hence shall this your lofty scene be acted over in statesunborn and accents yet unknown mean?

He's talking about how historical events get dramatised. The "lofty scene", the historical event they are witnessing, will be "acted over", portrayed as part of a play "many ages hence", or a long time from now. The play will be performed in a country that didn't exist when the historical events took place, and in a language that didn't exist either. The irony is that the line itself comes as part of a play portraying the historical event many ages after it happened, and performed in a country and a language that did not exist when the events took place. There is an even deeper irony if you see this line delivered in a performance in the USA, a state unborn when Shakespeare wrote this line and in an accent (although not in a language) unknown to him.
