A good, great man? I have enter'd Rome by force,

And on her tender Womb (that gave me life)

Let my insulting Souldiers rudely trample,

The dear Veins of my Country I have open'd,

And sail'd upon the torrents that flow'd from her,

The bloody streams that in their confluence

Carried before 'em thousand desolations;

I rob'd the Treasury, and at one gripe

Snatch'd all the wealth, so many worthy triumphs

Plac'd there as sacred to the Peace of Rome;
