she assumes boy's attire, calls herself "Bellario," and enters the

Arethusa, and then grows jealous of the lady's love for her tender

_Euphra'sia_, "the Grecian daughter," was daughter of Evander, the

gained admission to the dungeon where her aged father was dying from
starvation, "fostered him at her breast by the milk designed for her
own babe, and thus the father found a parent in the child." When
Timoleon took Syracuse, Dionysius was about to stab Evander, but
Euphrasia, rushing forward, struck the tyrant dead upon the spot.--A.
Murphy, _The Grecian Daughter_ (1772).
