His wife’s embraces, and his parent’s smile?

A Woman.

When Antony’s victorious arms had gain’d

One half the world, o’er which he jointly reign’d,

Who caus’d his death, and all his glory stain’d?

A Woman.

Who was’t the royal Edward’s life betray’d,

The unhappy martyr’s confidence repaid,

By plunging in his heart the assassin’s blade,

A Woman.
