The Imperial Throne I can with ease ascend I know no power which can with mine contend But shou'd I reign the World which thinks me proud Will charge me with the Guilt of Caesar's blood And say the horrid Villany was done By my command that I might mount the throne I 'd rather be an honest slave I swear Than buy the Empire of the world so dear I never yet in crimes employ'd my Sword When I 've the Senate to their right restor'd And reveng'd Caesar as our Laws require I 'll to some quiet privacy retire And there disarm'd and all my powers laid down I will be great in nothing but renown And in my solitude till death Iâ—ll mourn Over my Martyr'd Julia's sacred Urn.
