        This Julius to the Capitol went / Upon one day, as he was accustomed to go / And in the Capitol at once seized him / This false Brutus and his other foes / And stuck him with daggers straightaway / With many a wound, and thus they let him lie / But never groaned he at no stroke but one / Or else at two, unless his history lies
