The Empress Josephine Part 1

"I Win The Battles, Josephine Wins Me The Hearts." These Words Of
Napoleon Are The Most Beautiful Epitaph Of The Empress Josephine,
The Much-Loved, The Much-Regretted, And The Much-Slandered One. Even
While Napoleon Won Battles, While With Lofty Pride He Placed His
Foot On The Neck Of The Conquered, Took Away From Princes Their
Crowns, And From Nations Their Liberty--While Europe Trembling Bowed
Before Him, And Despite Her Admiration Cursed Him--While Hatred
Heaved Up The Hearts Of All Nations Against Him--Even Then None
Could Refuse Admiration To The Tender, Lovely Woman Who, With The
Gracious Smile Of Goodness, Walked At His Side; None Could Refuse
Love To The Wife Of The Conqueror, Whose Countenance Of Brass
Received Light And Lustre From The Beautiful Eyes Of Josephine, As
Memnon's Statue From The Rays Of The Sun.
