7. The Conflict of a Woman, with a Lion: As it was performed in the Amphitheater.
Cæsar 's Munificence, 'twill not suffice;That virile Hands, should grasp the crimson Price.
Delicate Body, can't Fair Cypria shield:
As well as Mars, She conquers, or is Kil'd.
Alcides kil'd a Lion, and it is
Blown through the world by Fame, with Emphasis.
Be silent Authors! For Cæsar's command;
Made this Atchievement, of a Female hand.
