2. Upon Cæsars Epilepsie, or Fallen-sicknesse.
That Emperour whose Universal Awe,Prescrib'd both Tybur, and the Thames a Law.
He whose Sword sent some Myriads of Souls,
To that dark Den, where Cerberus grins, and Houls.
In spight of Throne, was cast upon the Ground;
His sence benighted, in a sudden Swound.
He who was Victor, over what He pleas'd;
Could not evade the Title, of Diseas'd:
Such Physick was to's Tympany apply'd;
The Fallen-sicknesse, is the Scourge of Pride.
