from Catiline his Conspiracy

Can nothing great, and at the height

Remaine so long? but its owne weight

Will ruine it? Or, is't blinde Chance,

That still desires new States t'advance,

And quit the old? Else, why must Rome

Be by it self, now, overcome?

Hath shee not foes inow of those,

Whom shee hath made such, and enclose

Her round about? Or, are they none, 

Except shee first become her owne?

O wretchednesse of greatest States,

To be obnoxious to these Fates:

That cannot keepe, what they doe gaine;

And what they raise so ill sustaine.

Rome, now, is Mistresse of the whole

World, Sea, and Land, to either Pole;

And even that Fortune will destroy

The power that made it. Shee doth joy

So much in plenty, wealth, and ease,

As, now, th'excesse is her disease.

– Petronius Arbiter (died AD 65), translated by Ben Jonson (1611)
