Alternate Author Name(s): Seneca
Subject(s): Cato The Younger (95-46 B.c.)
ONE stab could not fierce Cato's life untie;
Only his hand of all that wound did die.
Deeper his fingers tear to make a way
Open, through which his mighty soul might stray.
Fortune made this delay to let us know
That Cato's hand more than his sword could do.
