NOw that your Father, with the World's applause
Imployes your early Valour in his Cause,
Set Cesar's glorious Acts before your sight,
And know the man that could so doe and write.
View him in all his postures, see him mix
Terrour with love, Morals with Politicks.
That courage, which when fortune ebb'd did flow,
Which never trampled on a prostrate Foe,
Admire and emulate. Before hee fought,
Observe how Peace by him was ever sought:
