    Thou know'st, great son,
    The end of war's uncertain, but this certain,
    That, if thou conquer Rome, the benefit
    Which thou shalt thereby reap is such a name
    Whose repetition will be dogged with curses,
    Whose chronicle thus writ: 'The man was noble,
    But with his last attempt he wiped it out,
    Destroyed his country; and his name remains
    To th' ensuing age abhorred,' Speak to me son.
    Thou hast affected the fine strains of honor,
    To imitate the graces of the gods;
    To tear with thunder the wide cheeks o' th' air,
    And yet to change thy sulphur with a bolt
    That should rive an oak.
