With

Surpassed the past, in brave authority,
Measured deep earth and heaven's altitude:
So that, holding all power in its hand,
No end to empire would Rome understand:
And though Republics Time might consume,

That some head raised from the ancient tomb,
To speak her name, might be deemed to have lied.

And all his best-of-life the easy prey
Of

With vile array,
From rascal statesman down to petty knave;

None knows enough of love
To speak without trembling,

Without shame or cheating.

Whether he durst accept the offer or not,
