Res memoranda novis annalibus, atque recenti
Historia, speculum civilis sarcina belli."
"This grasps a mirror—pathic Otho's boast
(Auruncan Actor's spoil), where, while his host,
With shouts, the signal of the fight required,
He viewed his mailed form; viewed, and admired!
Lo, a new subject for the historic page,
A mirror, midst the arms of civil rage!"
