himself the subject of various epigrams; such as; for example…



        〃To…morrow (being the thirtieth day)

         Cato; 'tis thought; will go away;〃



        〃Porcius and Marphadates; friends so true;

         One Soul; they say; suffices for the two;〃



that being the name of the woman; and so again;…



        〃To Cato's greatness every one confesses;

         A royal Soul he certainly possesses。〃



  But all these stains were entirely wiped off by the bravery of his

death。 For in the battle of Philippi; where he fought for his

country's liberty against Caesar and Antony; when the ranks were

breaking; he; scorning to fly; or to escape unknown; called out to the

enemy; showed himself to them in front; and encouraged those of his

party who stayed; and at length fell; and left his enemies full of

admiration of his valour。

  Nor was the daughter of Cato inferior to the rest of her family

for sober…living and greatness of spirit。 She was married to Brutus;

who killed Caesar; was acquainted with the conspiracy; and ended her

life as became one of her birth and virtue。 All which is related in

the life of Brutus。

  Statyllius; who said he would imitate Cato; was at that time

hindered by the philosophers; when he would have put an end to his

life。 He afterwards followed Brutus; to whom he was very faithful

and very serviceable; and died in the field of Philippi。





                              THE END
