Josephine

Josephine, the Empress of France,
Wife of Napoleon for years,
Escaped the guillotine by chance,
Before that marriage it appears.
Then Napoleon came her way.
Infatuated he became,
And as a power couple, they
Quickly rose in fortune and fame.
Because she could not bear his heir,
Napoleon did divorce her.
She retired to a chateau where
To tend roses she loved for sure.

When Josephine did die, meanwhile,
Napoleon was in exile.
