Fire, fire, help, we burn. Oh round about, here, there, on every side. The girdling flame, does with unkind embraces Compass the City. Alas there are a many there with weapons, Aod whither it be for pray, or by command, They hinder: nay, they throw on firebrands. Oh all goes down, Room falls from the Roof, The wind's aloft, the conquering flame turns all Into it self; Nor do the Gods escape, Pleidds burns, Jupiter Stator burns. The Altar now is made a sacrifice; And Vesta mourns, to see her Virgin fires Mingle with profane ashes. Though not deserved, yet once gain I come, To warn thee to take pity on thy self; The troops by the Senate sent, descend the hill And come. Thou hast no choice. They are at hand; hark, thou mayest hear the noise. So base and end all joust commiseration Does take away, yet what we do now spurn, The morning Sun saw fearful to the world. Thus great bade men above them find a rod: People depart, and say there is a God.
