SCENE II.

BRUTUS
(alone.)
Heaven! what a Change in Rome!—breathe these her Soul
Oh! griev'd Quirinus! what Reproach were Thine,
Did not thy fellow Gods disdain to note us!
Rome has no Remnant, now, of Roman Greatness:
Sold, or seduced, we give up Claim by Claim,
Till even our Virtues are engros'd by Cæsar!
O, Souls of long lost Glory! Fabii! Decii
O, all ye Pompey's! Scipio's! Cato's! hear me!
Re-kindle, in my Breast, your patriot Lights:
And live, once more in Brutus!—fill this Heart,
With Cæsar's Fire—but, let it flame, for Rome.
