Of whom the long contempt against thee whets

The sword of Cæsar now thy Lord become.

Lost thy great Empire, all those goodly townes

Reuerenc’d thy name as rebells now thee leaue:

Rise against thee, and to the ensignes flocke

Of conqu’ring Cæsar, who enwalles thee round

Cag’d in thy holde, scarse maister of thy selfe,

Late maister of so many nations.

Yet, yet, which is of grief extreamest grief,

Which is yet of mischiefe highest mischiefe,
