SENT for IN such JJ is VBZ the DT nature NN of IN you PP mortals NNS . SENT And CC as IN for IN Pompey NP , , the DT gods NNS grew VVD tired JJ of IN his PP$ triumphs NNS and CC his PP$ airs NNS of IN being VBG himself PP a DT god NN . SENT for IN he PP talked VVD of IN law NN and CC duty NN and CC other JJ matters NNS that WDT concerned VVD not RB a DT mere JJ human JJ worm NN . SENT And CC the DT gods NNS smiled VVD on IN Caesar NP . SENT for IN he PP lived VVD the DT life NN they PP had VHD given VVN him PP boldly RB , , and CC was VBD not RB forever RB rebuking VVG us PP for IN our PP$ indecent JJ ways NNS of IN creation NN , , and CC hiding VVG our PP$ handiwork NN as IN a DT shameful JJ thing NN . SENT Ye NP know VVP well RB what WP I PP mean VVP . SENT for IN this DT is VBZ one CD of IN your PP$ own JJ sins NNS . SENT And CC thus RB it PP fell VVD out RP between IN the DT old JJ Rome NP and CC the DT new JJ , , that DT Caesar NN said VVD , , Unless IN I PP break VVP the DT law NN of IN old JJ Rome NP , , I NN cannot NN take VV my PP$ share NN in IN ruling VVG her PP .

SENT And CC Pompey NP went VVD for IN him PP , , as IN ye NP say VVP , , with IN a DT great JJ army NN to TO slay VV him PP and CC uphold VV the DT old JJ Rome NP . SENT So IN Caesar NP fled VVD across IN the DT Adriatic JJ sea NN . SENT for IN the DT high JJ gods NNS had VHD a DT lesson NN to TO teach VV him PP , , which WDT lesson NN they PP shall MD also RB teach VV you PP in IN due JJ time NN if IN ye NP continue VVP to TO forget VV them PP and CC to TO worship NN that IN cad NN among IN gods NNS , , Mammon NN . SENT Therefore RB before IN they PP raised VVD Caesar NP to TO be VB master NN of IN the DT world NN , , they PP were VBD minded VVD to TO throw VV him PP down RP into IN the DT dust NN , , even RB beneath IN the DT feet NNS of IN Pompey NP , , and CC blacken VV his PP$ face NN before IN the DT nations NNS .

SENT And CC Pompey NP followed VVD Caesar NN , , and CC overcame VVD him PP with IN all PDT the DT majesty NN of IN old JJ Rome NP , , and CC stood VVD over IN him PP and CC over IN the DT whole JJ world NN even RB as IN ye NP stand VVP over IN it PP with IN your PP$ fleet NN that WDT covers VVZ thirty CD miles NNS of IN the DT sea NN . SENT And CC when WRB Caesar NP was VBD brought VVN down RB to TO utter JJ nothingness NN , , he PP made VVD a DT last JJ stand NN to TO die VV honorably RB , , and CC did VVD not RB despair NN . SENT for IN he PP said VVD , , Against IN me PP there EX is VBZ Pompey NP , , and CC the DT old JJ Rome NP , , and CC the DT law NN and CC the DT legions NNS . SENT all PDT all DT against IN me PP . SENT but CC high JJ above IN these DT are VBP the DT gods NNS . SENT and CC Pompey NP is VBZ a DT fool NN . SENT And CC the DT gods NNS laughed VVN and CC approved VVN . SENT and CC on IN the DT field NN of IN Pharsalia NN the DT impossible JJ came VVD to TO pass VV . SENT the DT blood NN and CC iron VV ye NP pin VV your PP$ faith NN on RB fell VVD before IN the DT spirit NN of IN man NN . SENT for IN the DT spirit NN of IN man NN is VBZ the DT will NN of IN the DT gods NNS . SENT and CC Pompey's NP power NN crumbled VVD in IN his PP$ hand NN , , even RB as IN the DT power NN of IN imperial JJ Spain NP crumbled VVD when WRB it PP was VBD set VVN against IN your PP$ fathers NNS in IN the DT days NNS when WRB England NP was VBD little JJ , , and CC knew VVD her PP$ own JJ mind NN , , and CC had VHD a DT mind NN to TO know VV instead RB of IN a DT circulation NN of IN newspapers NNS . SENT Wherefore RB look VV to TO it PP , , lest IN some DT little JJ people NNS whom WP ye NP would MD enslave VV rise VV up RP and CC become VV in IN the DT hand NN of IN God NP the DT scourge NN of IN your PP$ boastings NNS and CC your PP$ injustices NNS and CC your PP$ lusts NNS and CC stupidities NNS . SENT And CC now RB , , would MD ye NP know VV the DT end NN of IN Pompey NP , , or CC will MD ye NP sleep NN while IN a DT god NN speaks VVZ . SENT Heed VV my PP$ words NNS well RB . SENT for IN Pompey NP went VVD where WRB ye NP have VHP gone VVN , , even RB to TO Egypt NP , , where WRB there EX was VBD a DT Roman JJ occupation NN even RB as IN there EX was VBD but RB now RB a DT British JJ one NN . SENT And CC Caesar NP pursued VVD Pompey NP to TO Egypt NP . SENT a DT Roman NP fleeing VVG , , and CC a DT Roman NP pursuing NN . SENT dog NN eating NN dog NN .

SENT So RB they PP turned VVD in IN their PP$ perplexity NN to TO a DT soldier NN that WDT had VHD once RB served VVN Pompey NP , , and CC that WDT knew VVD the DT ways NNS of IN Rome NP and CC was VBD full JJ of IN her PP$ lusts NNS .

SENT what WP counsel VV hast NP thou NNS to TO give VV us PP . SENT And CC this DT soldier NN , , whose WP$ name NN was VBD Lucius NP Septimius NP , , and CC whom WP ye NP shall MD presently RB see VV before IN ye NP , , replied VVD , , Ye NP shall MD diligently RB consider VV which WDT is VBZ the DT bigger JJR dog NN of IN the DT two CD .
