An Apology for Rome in Answer to that from Venice, translated from a Latin Copy.
When Rome had brought the neighbouring Kingdoms down,And made the Empire of the World her own,
The Sea to Tybur did Obedience pay,
And Rome her self the Universe did sway:
'Tis scarce worth bragging to relate she stands
Secure, first founded by Diviner hands;
This rises to a Pitch more high, to say
The Gods themselves durst not but Rome obey.
