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 . "

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
