For common good and for own glory
a seat in the senate
For common cause and own aspirations
a seat in the senate
For power over destinies for by themselves they'll drown
a seat in the senate
For a hand in fate and privilege to avert a few unpleasantries
a seat in the senate
For the pristine tunic and the challenge to keep it unsoiled
a seat in the senate
For rhetoric comes with quandaries of office
a seat in the senate
The toga is equal in prestige with the weight of armour
a seat in the senate
