Add, Cæsar, to these ills, Perusian famine,

The Mutin toils, the fleet at Luca sunk,

And cruel[581] field near burning Ætna fought!

Yet Rome is much bound to these civil arms,

Which made thee emperor. Thee (seeing thou, being old,

Must shine a star) shall heaven (whom thou lovest)

Receive with shouts; where thou wilt reign as king,

Or mount the Sun's flame-bearing chariot,

And with bright restless fire compass the earth,

Undaunted though her former guide be chang'd;50
