Be satisfied, ye Fates! Ye gods, who still

Lark homeless in these ruins that ye once

Made sacred as abodes, and deemed secure,

I take the sword of vengeance that ye proffer,

And swear myself your soldier. I will go,

And with each footstep on some mighty neck,

Shall work your full revenge, nor forfeit mine!

Dost thou not feel my presence, like a cloud,

Before my coming, Rome?[[A]] Is not my spirit,

That goes abroad in earnest of my purpose,
