“This we received”; and each in either side
Give the all-hail to thee; and cry “Be blest
For making up this peace!” Thou know’st, great son,
The end of war’s uncertain, but this certain
That, if thou conquer Rome, the benefit

Whose repetition will be dogg’d with curses;
Whose chronicle thus writ: “The man was noble,
But with his last attempt he wiped it out;
Destroy’d his country, and his name remains
