Note 27 — Chapter I · ROMAN PLAYS IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY
Reading edition
Licet extruat marmoribus atque auro tegat superbus aulam, limen armatae ducis servent cohortes, mittat immensas opes exhaustus orbis, supplices dextram petant Parthi cruentam, regna divitias ferant: veniet dies tempusque quo reddat suis animam nocentem sceleribus jugulum hostibus desertus ac destructus et cunctis egens. (Line 636.)
