32 Rome (Conquerer) conquered.
The Stranger, wondring, stalks, and stares-vponRome's antique Glories, in her Ruines seen:
Hee sees high Archs, huge shining Heaps of Stone,
Maim'd, mutil'd, murder'd, by yeers wasteful Teene
Hee sees a rugged, ragged, rocky Quar
Hang in the Air, with Ivie laç't about.
O! what can last, alas! (then cries hee out)
Sith Time hath conquer'd the World's Conquerer?
