Catherine was generous⁠—all such ladies are:

Love⁠—that great opener of the heart and all

The ways that lead there, be they near or far,

Above, below, by turnpikes great or small⁠—

Love⁠—(though she had a cursèd taste for War,

And was not the best wife unless we call

Such Clytemnestra, though perhaps ’tis better

That one should die⁠—than two drag on the fetter)⁠—
