On them and Germaynes triompht neare and farre,
Saue Punike fight the greatest Romayne warre.
9.
Now (for it was my hap a victoure soe
To Rome returne a yeare before his end)
Throughout the world the fame of mee did goe,
The Romaynes all to fauour mee did bend.
To them Augustus did my warres commend,
Adopted mee, and (as I sayd) for this,
The Romaynes bold and hee enbraued mee with blisse.[907]
