5. Veni, Vidi, Vici.
Though Pompey, Mithridates over-threw;Pharnax his Son, began the Wars anew.
Cæsar entreated, by a gremial Friend;
To certifie him, when Stern Mars did end:

After Dispute, as by his Promise bound.
If thy eyes send forth Deadly Rayes; sure then,
The Basilisk hath left his Trade to Men.
