Reserata Carcerem XXXIX
Caesar after war t’ him was pawn,
and pride on him had left gaunt gores,
trod eerie earth with punctured pacts;
haughty hoofs e’en such pain scarce cast.
Artemidorous by paths tarr’
with, “Beware of the Ides of March.”
But punctured pride’s porous gores gulped
bounty biddings ‘n’ sanity sucked.
And’n recherche robe was he draped
on essence ‘f th’ augury’s day.
With sumptuous sores unnursed went he,
and sane senators made gores’ sea.
Beware of prophecy ‘f he speaks,
but wrestle it not into being.
