Excerpt from The Brigand: A Poem

"About that time there was a conspiracy laid, headed by one Don Pedro, who, to carry out his project, was base enough to attempt the life of his niece, for being the next akin he would come into possession of her property. He was foiled by his brother, whom he supposed to be dead. In his rage, supposing him to be a stranger, he slew him, but on finding he had slain his brother, the shock was so great as to cause his death." Extract from Notes of S. Amer. Traveller.
