Eliza Hamilton: Do you know what Angelica said when she read what you’d done? She said, “You have married an Icarus. He has flown too close to the sun.”

For the record, this is a quote from the song “First Burn” Lin Manuel-Miranda’s first attempt at the song “Burn” from Hamilton: An American Musical. “First Burn” never appears in the musical itself but was released later as a song in April of 2018
The lyric part quoted above is actually in both songs. But for example my favorite part of ‘First Burn’: “Your enemy whispers, so you have to scream” is not in the musical version of ‘Burn.’
