Veni, Vidi, Victus sum.

Topics: classic

to -----.         Hither led by fancy's hand,         Once again I seem to stand         In that hall in which this eye,         Blind before to beauty's ray,         Lighted up in ecstasy         Instantly it gazed on thee;         Here too was it where this heart,         Previous proof to Cupid's dart,         In thy presence trembled, fell;         Fearful, fluttered 'neath thy spell;         All so sudden, so complete,         Chronicled in words 'twere meet         Such as Csar's famous three,         Which will well apply to me,         If the classic clause become, -         Veni, vidi, victus sum.
