That may confounde this high erected heape
Downe powre it; Vomit out your worst of ills
Let _Rome_, growne proud, with her vnconquered strength,
Perish and conquered BE with her owne strength:
And win all powers to disioyne and breake,
Consume, confound, dissolue, and discipate
What Lawes, Armes and Pride hath raised vp.

{SN _Act I sc. i_}

_Enter Titinius_

_Tit._ The day is lost our hope and honours lost,
The glory of the _Romaine_ name is lost, 40
The liberty and commonweale is lost,
The Gods that whileom heard the _Romaine_ state,
And _Quirinus_, whose strong puissant arme,
Did shild the tops and turrets of proud _Rome_,
Do now conspire to wracke the gallant Ship,
Euen in the harbor of her wished greatnesse.
And her gay streamers, and faire wauering sayles,
With which the wanton wind was wont to play,
To drowne with Billows of orewhelming woes.

_Enter Brutus_ 50

_Bru._ The Foe preuayles, _Brutus_, thou striuest in vaine.
Many a soule to day is sent to Hell,
And many a galant haue I don to death,
In _Pharsalias_ bleeding Earth: the world can tell,
How litle _Brutus_ praizd this puffe of breath,
If losse of that my countries weale might gaine,
But Heauens and the immortall Gods decreed:
That _Rome_ in highest of her fortunes pich,
In top of souerainty and imperiall swaye.
By her owne height should worke her owne decay. 60

_Enter Pompey_

_Pom._ Where may I fly into some desert place,
Some vncouth, vnfrequented craggy rocke,
Where as my name and state was neuer heard.
I flie the Batle because here I see,
My friends lye bleeding in _Pharsalias_ earth.
Which do remember me what earst I was,
Who brought such troopes of soldiars to the fielde,
And of so many thousand had command:
My flight a heauy memory doth renew, 70
Which tels me I was wont to stay and winne.
But now a souldier of my scatred traine:
Offered me seruice and did call me Lord,
O then I thought whome rising Sunne saw high,
Descending he beheld my misery:
Flie to the holow roote of some steepe rocke,
And in that flinty habitation hide,
Thy wofull face: from face and view of men.
Yet that will tell me this, if n
