THE

LIFE

OF

NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE.

Sed non in Cæsare tantum

Nomen erat, nec fama ducis; sed nescia virtus
Stare loco: solusque pudor non vincere bello.

Acer et indomitus; quo spes quoque ira vocasset,

Ferre manum, et nunquam temerando parcere ferro:
Successus urgere suos: instare favori

Numinis: impellens quicquid sibi summa petenti

Obstaret: gaudensque viam fecisse ruina.

LUCANI Pharsalia, Lib. 1.
