_Licetne Caesari censum dare?_ Marc. xii. 14.
Post tot Scribarum, Christe, in te proelia, tandem
Ipse venit Caesar; Caesar in arma venit.
Pugnant terribiles non Caesaris ense, sed ense
Caesare: quin Caesar vinceris ipse tamen.
Hoc quoque tu conscribe tuis, Auguste, triumphis.
Sic vinci dignus quis nisi Caesar erat?
_Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar?_
After so many battles with the Scribes, O Lord,
Caesar himself comes; Caesar with his sword.
They fight not arm'd with Caesar's sword indeed;
But Caesar as their sword with craft they plead.
Conquer'd thyself, O Caesar, make it known--
Who save thee, worthy so to be o'erthrown. G.
