Epigram 101. Of Augustus Caesar, and Marcus Antonius
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Social Commentaries
Augustus was to Ovid too unkind,
Who him not onely banish't, but confin'd
Him; had the noble Anthony o'recome,
He might have led his life, and di'd in Rome.
But of these two great Romans this is known,
Caesar caus'd others deaths, Marcus his own.
