If you want to read about Caesar and those that came before him and after him, I'd like to recommend this book series, they really are awesome books, hefty tomes but so worth the time....

Love the poem btw :)

I always liked this one, by Thomas Hardy:

THREE captains went to Indian wars,	
  And only one returned:	
Their mate of yore, he singly wore	
  The laurels all had earned.	
 
At home he sought the ancient aisle	        
  Wherein, untrumped of fame,	
The three had sat in pupilage,	
  And each had carved his name.	
 
The names, rough-hewn, of equal size,	
  Stood on the panel still;	        
Unequal since.—“’Twas theirs to aim,	
  Mine was it to fulfil!”	
 
—“Who saves his life shall lose it, friends!”	
  Outspake the preacher then,	
Unweeting he his listener, who	        
  Looked at the names again.	
 
That he had come and they’d been stayed,	
  ’Twas but the chance of war:	
Another chance, and they’d sat here,	
  And he had lain afar.	        
 
Yet saw he something in the lives	
  Of those who’d ceased to live	
That rounded them with majesty	
  Which living failed to give.	
 
Transcendent triumph in return	        
  No longer lit his brain;	
Transcendence rayed the distant urn	
  Where slept the fallen twain.

Original Message Unto Caesar let us render
All the things that Caesar's are;
Custom, fear and tribute tender,
Both in time of peace and war.
Government is by God's order,
Civil rule by His command,
For protection to our border,
Safety, peace, throughout the land.
By the will of God appointed,
All must fear the pow'rs that be;
Who lays hand on God's anointed,
Sins against His majesty.
