But they promised me cleopatra if I would come with them.
"The Eye of Dread"
Payne Erskine

"I Walked in Arden"
Jack Crawford
His fancy raises up a procession of such women as the world has crowned: a Helen, a cleopatra, some Christian saint; he bids Elvire see herself as part of it-as the true Helen, who, according to the legend, never quitted Greece, contemplated her own phantom within the walls of Troy-and be satisfied that she is "best" of all.
