Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.”

Passed over them—nor other trace I find
But as of foam after the ocean’s wrath”

A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead
Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.”
