AMBITION is a Plant, that's always found To root the deepest in the richest Ground; Fair to the Sight the op'ning Blossoms rise; The Fruit's forbidden, and who tastes it, dies. This, Manlius, was thy Guilt, this urg'd thy Doom, Once styl'd Retriever of invaded Rome. When thy successful Arms oppos'd the Gaul, Jove to thy Care consign'd his Capitol. But black Designs obscur'd thy rising Fame, And quickly left thee nothing but the Name: Else mightst thou still in Camps have loll'd at Ease, Fat with the Spoils of plunder'd Provinces; Still the brib'd Senate, and the frantick Crowd, With Votes and Ballads, had thy Deeds avow'd: But 'twas too fierce an Ardor for Renown, T'aspire to Regal Purple, and a Crown-------- That Rock which gave thee Glory, prov'd thy Doom, And was at once thy Trophy, and thy Tomb.
