    How Rome her own sad Sepulchre appears,
    With nodding arches, broken temples spread!
    The very Tombs now vanish'd like their dead!

Now conquering Rome doth conquered Rome inter,
And she the vanquished is, and vanquisher.

Learn, hence what fortune can. Towns glide away;
And rivers, which are still in motion, stay.
