First Line: And as time past when cato the severe
Last Line: If but lookt on; struck dead, if scan'd by thee.


And as time past when Cato the Severe
Entred the circumspacious Theater;
In reverence of his person, every one
Stood as he had been turn'd from flesh to stone:
E'ne so my numbers will astonisht be
If but lookt on; struck dead, if scan'd by Thee.
