Verbem Romam a principio reges habuere ;
libertatem et consulatem L . Brutus instituit .
Dictaturae ad tempus sumebantur ;
neque decemviralis potestas ultra biennium , neque tribunorum militum consulare ius diu valuit .
Non Cinnae , non Sullae longa dominatio ;
et Pompei Crassique potentia cito in Caesarem , Lepidi atque Antonii arma in Augustum cessere , qui cuncta discordiis civilibus fessa nomine principis sub imperium accepit .

ROME at the beginning was ruled by kings .
Freedom and the consulship were established by Lucius Brutus .
Dictatorships were held for a temporary crisis .
The power of the decemvirs did not last beyond two years , nor was the consular jurisdiction of the military tribunes of long duration .
The despotisms of Cinna and Sulla were brief ; the rule of Pompeius and of Crassus soon yielded before Caesar ;
the arms of Lepidus and Antonius before Augustus ;
who , when the world was wearied by civil strife , subjected it to empire under the title of " Prince . "

Rome citye at first Kinges guided . Popularitie and Consulshipp | L . Brutus ordained .
Dictators but for a tyme did serue , nether did | the ten mens rule aboue two yeares laste .
nor longe did byde the Consuls | rule ouer Tribunes bandes .
No lasting power Cinna nor Sylla had .
And | soone Pompeys and Crassus rule to Caesar fell .
Lepidus and Anthonyes | armes to Augustus gaue place , who *** to his rule did take with Princes title , all weryed with ciuill discordes .
