De Natali Domitiani Epig. 1.
This is great Cæsar's day, and far aboveThat wherein Ide produced mighty Jove.
Mayst thou come long! and and Nestor's years fullfill,
And with this, or a better face, shine still.
May he adore his Sea-god in rich gold,
And let his hands great Jove's tree still infold!
May he enjoy the Serpent-ages long,
Such as Terentus consecrates in song!
Tis much we ask, ye Gods, but to us due,
And since tis Cæsar, what is much to you?
