Gilberti Ducerij Epigram de Iul. 2.

When holy Iulius to the field did go,

Cum contra Gallos, &c.


Against the Gaules, as old reports do show:
Each day the Citie sounding loud alarmes,
He mustred forth great troupes in glistring armes,
And in a rage before the peoples eyes,
In Tibers streames did throw the holy keyes:
Then pulling out his sword, he madly sayes,
Against the French my foes, since now adayes
Saint Peters keyes cannot secure my state,
Pauls sword all controuersies shall debate.
