LXXXV.

_Date Caesari._ Marc. xii. 17.

Cuncta Deo debentur: habet tamen et sua Caesar;

Nec minus inde Deo est, si sua Caesar habet.

Non minus inde Deo est, solio si caetera dantur

Caesareo, Caesar cum datur ipse Deo.

_Give to Caesar ... and to God...._

All we have is God's, and yet

Caesar challenges a debt;

Nor hath God a thinner share,

Whatever Caesar's payments are.

All is God's; and yet 'tis true

All we have is Caesar's too.

All is Caesar's; and what ods,

So long as Caesar's selfe is God's? CR.
