Analysis of A Noble Lady
Letitia Elizabeth Landon 1802 (Chelsea) – 1838 (Cape Coast)
A pale and stately lady, with a brow
That might have well beseemed a Roman dame,
Cornelia, ere her glorious children died ;
Or that imperial mother, who beheld
Her son forgive his country at her word.
Yet there was trouble written on her face ;
The past had left its darkness.
