another
one queen artemisia, as old stories tell,
when deprived of her husband she loved so well,
in respect for the love and affe he show'd her,
she reduc'd him to dust and she drank up the powder.
but queeherpce, of a diff'rent plexion,
when called on to order the fun'ral dire,
would have eat her dead lord, on a slender pretence,
not to show her respect, but—to save the expense!
