That Monster of Rome, who no equal can claim,
For the crimes that for ever, have blacken'd his name.
Augustus's sister, great Anthony's wife,
Whom he left for that beauty, who cost him his life.
The Emperor, who thought it improper to lay,
When death call'd his soul from his body away,
Determin'd the summons undaunted to meet,
And was plac'd by his courtiers erect on his feet.
That Prince whom the Romans delighted to name,
As first of their race, tho' from Venus he came.
