Things I've found in collection items worth sharing

1. "Epitaph upon Robespierre", from William Thomas Fitzgerald's Miscellaneous poems (PR4705 .F33 1801 Cage)

   Passant! ne pleure pas mon sort--

   Si Je vivois, Tu serois mort.

   Stranger! forbear to grieve that I am dead,

   For were I living, You would lose your head.

2. "The Trap", by Thomas Gilliland, is "dedicated to the ladies." The dedication is signed, "I am, LADIES, with every respect and admiration for your sex, The Author."

3. PR3639.P8 P6 1809 Cage contains the posthumous poems of William Preston, Esq. See, he really was a time traveler!

4. In OCLC, our copy of the 1913 silent film Marc'Antonio e Cleopatra had a summary that indicated, "Octavius, Antony's Roman wife, threatens the vengeance of Rome against Antony after he spurns her in Egypt." That's quite a plot twist, and certainly explains the enmity between Octavius and Antony!
