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,—

And was not the best wife unless we call

Such Clytemnestra, though perhaps 't is better

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