8. Non Rex sum, sed Cæsar.
Rome as a Camerade to Cæsars Fate;By name of King, did him Congratulate.
They hit the Grain, for Prides Humour delights;
In nothing more, then crouching Parasites.
One time the Cry, remarkably was small;
Cæsar laugh'd at, the accidental Fall:
And demanded, whence might the Error spring;
My Sirname's Cæsar; Gentlemen! not King.
