from Satires
Such is the worlde, who beares the swey
assuredly is scande,
Howe he came up, what parentage,
what was his fathers lande.
For as the yonger that would seme
moste hansome and moste brave,
Dothe make the mo to marke the more
if he such features have:
So, who so thinks to rule in realmes,
and aufull swey to beare,
To place, displace, to dubbe, disdubbe,
to keep the coastes in feare:
The riflyng of his petigree,
must thynke erewhyle to heare.
– Horace (65-8 BC), translated by Thomas Drant (1567)
