…[made?] sad because of your misbehaviour, Lycoris. My fate will then be sweet to me, Caesar, when you become the greatest part of Roman history, and when, after your return, I read that many gods’ temples are richer, adorned with your spoils…At last the Muses have made poems that I can utter, worthy of my mistress…the same to you, I do not, Viscus…Cato, fear…with you as judge…Tyrian…
