Opis

Excerpt from The Works of the English Poets, Vol. 20: With Prefaces, Biographical and Critical Amidft the general confternation that fore-ran the Civil War, the poet introduces an eld man giving an account of the miferies that attended on that of Marius and Sylla; and comparing their prefent circumftances to thofe in which the commonwealth was when that former war broke out. Brutus confults with Cato, whether it were the duty of a private man to concern himfeif in the public troubles; to which Cato replies in the affirmative: Then follows his receiving Marcia again from the tomb of Hortenfius. While Pompey goes to Capua, Caefar makes himfeif mafter of the greateft part of Italy, and among the reft of Corfinium, where Domltius, the governor for Pompey, is feized by his garrifon, and delivered to Caefar, who pardons and difmiffes him. Pompey, in an oration to his army, makes a trial of their difpofition to a general battle; but not finding it to anfwer his expedtation, he fends his fon to folicit the afliftance of his friends and allies; then marches himfeif to Brundulium, where he is like to be fhut up by Caefar, and efcapes at length with much difficulty. Ttow manifefl the wrath divine appeared, And nature thro the world the war declared; Teeming with monilers, facred law fhe broke.
