When she heard that it was Caesar's intention to send her into Syria, she asked permission to visit Antony's tomb, over which she poured forth most bitter lamentations. "Hide me, hide me," she exclaimed, "with thee in the grave; for life, since _thou_ hast left it, has been misery to _me_." After crowning the tomb with flowers, she kissed it, and ordered a bath to be prepared. She then sat down to a magnificent supper, after which a peasant came to the gate with a small basket of figs covered with leaves, which was admitted into the monument. Amongst the figs and under the leaves was concealed the asp which Cleopatra applied to her bosom. She was found dead, attired in one of her most gorgeous dresses, decorated with brilliants, and lying on her golden bed.--_Winslow: "Anatomy of Suicide."_ COKE (Sir Edward, Lord Chief Justice of England, and author of the celebrated work, "Coke upon Littleton"), 1552-1633. "_Thy kingdom come, thy will be done._" COLLINGBORN (William), "_Lord Jesus! Yet more trouble?_" These words he is reported to have spoken after the executioner had opened his body to extract his heart. William Collingborn was condemned for making this rhyme on King Richard III., The cat, the rat, and Lovel, our dog, Rule all England, under the hog. Collingborn was hanged and cut down alive, his bowels ripped out and cast into the fire; when the executioner put his hand into the bulk of his body, to pull out his heart, he said, "Lord Jesus! Yet more trouble?" and so died, to the great sorrow of many people.--_Fab. Chron._, p. 519. COLLINS (Anthony, essayist and deist), 1676-1729. "_I have always endeavored, to the best of my ability, to serve God, my king and my country. I go to the place God has designed for those who love him._" Some say his last words were, "The Catholic faith is, to love God and to love man. This is the best faith, and to its entertainment I exhort you all." COLUMBUS (Christopher, discovered America October 12th, 1492), 1435-1506. "_In manus tuos, Domine, commendo spiritum meum._" Columbus died at Valladolid, a disappointed, broken-hearted old man; little comprehending what he had done for mankind, and still less the glory and homage that through all future generations awaited his name.--_Ticknor._ CONFUCIUS (His name was Kong, but his disciples called him Kong-Fu-tse, which is "Kong the Master," and this the Jesuit missionaries Latinized into Confucius), B. C., 551-479. "_I have taught men how to live._"
