Notes

  • Epigraph:

    "The very first

    Of human life must spring from woman's breast,

    Your first small words are taught you from her lips,

    Your first tears quenched by her, and your last sighs

    Too often breathed out in a woman's hearing.

    When men have shrunk from the ignoble care

    Of watching the last hour of him who led them"

    BYRON
