To see their son untimely die.
127 And, when my grief and anguish past, They lay me in my grave at last, Wilt thou, my pure and faithful dove, Then bear the tidings to my love ? My spirit, parted from its clay, Shall linger where thou wing'st thy way, Only to hear the maiden own I lived and died for her alone.
ON FEMALE INTREPIDITY.
Man, proud superior of the human kind, Lord of the lofty brow and steadfast mind ; Imperial man ! whose firm and nervous frame, His high pre-eminence at once procla...im j Whose all-commanding port and eye of fire, Alike the timid and the bold inspire.
128 How often, lordly man ! when adverse fate Draws her dark curtain o'er thy falling state, How often dost thou bend thy lofty crest, To seek repose upon a female breast !
The tender sex, warmed with connubial love, Can oft with man an equal courage prove : The faithful Arria (33) owned its sovereign power. In the deep anguish of misfortune's hour; And when Dalmatia's skies beheld her charms, Torn from her tender husband's guardian arms, The matron, fearless of a watery grave, Yielded her safety to the faithless wave, Even in the bounds of an unwholesome cell, Could noble Arria with Cecinius dwell, And find more joy within the vault of stone Then did Vespasian on the Roman throne : And when the haughty tyrant's awful nod Doomed lost Cecinius to the Lictor's rod, 129 The noble matron kept her courage there, When all the husband sunk in deep despair ; The ready dagger drawing from her vest, She plunged it instant in her faithful breast.
