Oh, my friends, How is the toil of fate, the work of ages, The Roman empire fallen! Oh, cursed ambition! Fallen into Caesar's hand: our great forefathers Had left him nought to conquer but his country .-- _Addison's Cato._ 1.

Caesar, having settled affairs in this part of the empire, embarked for Italy, where he arrived sooner than his enemies could expect, but not before his presence there was absolutely required.2.During his absence, he had been created consul for five years, dictator for one year, and tribune of the people for life.3.But Antony, who in the mean time governed for him in Rome, had filled the city with riot and debauchery, and many commotions ensued, which nothing but the arrival of Caesar could appease.4.By his moderation and humanity he soon restored tranquillity to the city, scarcely making any distinction between those of his own and the opposite party.5.Having, by gentle means, restored his authority at home, he prepared to march into Africa, where Pompey's party had found time to rally under Scipio and Cato, assisted by Juba, king of Maurita'nia; and, with his usual diligence, landed with a small party in Africa, while the rest of his army followed him.6.Scipio coming to a battle soon after, received a complete and final overthrow, with little, or no loss on the side of the victor.
