OF CATO (4) by LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA

First Line: WHAT DOUBT'ST THOU, HAND? SAD CATO 'TIS TO KILL
Last Line: NOR CONQUERS HE HIMSELF, NOW IF HE DIE.
Subject(s): CATO THE YOUNGER (95-46 B.C.);
WHAT doubt'st thou, hand? sad Cato 'tis to kill;
But he'll be free: sure, hand, thou doubt'st not still!
Cato alive, 'tis just all men be free,
Nor conquers he himself, now if he die.
