Than all were for the state;
Then the great man helped the poor,
And the poor man loved the great:

Then spoils were fairly sold:
The Romans were like brothers
In the brave days of old.

So we grew together,
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition--
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem;
So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart;
Two of the first, like coats in heraldry,
Due but to one, and crowned with one crest.
