Ille etiam extincto miſeratus Gæſare Romam.
Gum caput obſcurâ nitidum ferrugine texit,
Impiaque
æternam timuerunt ſæcula noctem.

He
pitying Rome, when as great Cæſar dy'd,
His
Head within a mourning-vail did hide;

And
thus the wicked guilty World did fright
With
doubtful Fears of an Eternal Night.

Ovid
ſpeaking likewife of his Death,
--Solis
quoque triſtis Imago
Lurida
ſollicitis præbebat lumina terris.

--The
Suns ſad Image then
Did
yield a lowring light to fearful Men.
