De Natali Domitiani Epig. 1.

This is great Cæsar's day, and far above
That 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?
