No bitterness: our ancestors did it. br They were only ignorant and hopeful, they wanted freedom but wealth too. br Their children will learn to hope for a Caesar. br Or rather--for we are not aquiline Romans but soft mixed colonists-- br Some kindly Sicilian tyrant who'll keep br Poverty and Carthage off until the Romans arrive, br We are easy to manage, a gregarious people, br Full of sentiment, clever at mechanics, and we love our luxuries.
