Her life was one long, large-souled, large-hearted prayer for the triumph of Right, Justice, Liberty; and she who lived for others was "poet true, Who died for Beauty, as martyrs do For Truth, the ends being scarcely two."

I am well very well and supported by the consciousness of coming triumph.

She hid herself in a sepulcher, spreading a report that she had committed suicide, and then Antony stabbed himself in a fit of remorse and despair. Before he died, he learned that Cleopatra was alive, and he caused himself to be carried into her presence and died in her arms. Cleopatra then fell into the hands of Octavius, who intended to carry her to Rome to grace his triumph.
The triumph of the son of Malachy, and the sorrow and anger of Leinster, were equally great.
The attempt was in their opinion an audacious violation of the fundamental pact on which the Confederacy was founded. Its success would be to establish the sacerdotal power in triumph over the civil authority. During this period the Advocate was resident in Utrecht.
