Nature's the same as Rome, was reflected in it

Nature's the same as Rome, was reflected in it. We see images of its civic might In the clear air, as in the sky-blue circus, In the forum of fields, the colonnade of the grove. Nature is the same as Rome, again it seems We have no reason to trouble the gods. We've got the viscera of the sacrifices To tell the fortunes of war, and slaves To keep the silence, and stones with which to build.
