He loaned me five dollars once when I was in a pinch,

And signed my petition for a post-office.

And Brutus says he was ambitious.

Brutus should chase himself around the block.

Cæsar hath brought many captives home to Rome

Who broke rock on the streets until their ransoms

Did the general coffers fill.

When that the poor hath cried, Cæsar hath wept,

Because it didn’t cost anything

And made him solid with the masses. [Cheers.
