Sophonisba, the daughter of Hasdrubal, a Carthaginian general, who avoided captivity by taking poison at the instigation of her betrothed Masinissa, was the subject of several plays, notably by
Marston, N.
Lee, and James
Thomson. The notorious line ‘Oh! Sophonisba, Sophonisba, Oh!’ occurs in Thomson's version (1730), was altered to ‘Oh Sophonisba, I am wholly thine’ in later editions, and parodied by Fielding in
Tom Thumb as ‘O Huncamunca, Huncamunca O!’
