He took it. A turbulent, useless Spain.
He took it. I have flung down half a useless world, and he has gorged it and come on into the trap. I am camped in plenty, with six fleets ruling the seas. Csesar is trenched in Act II] POMPEY THE GREAT 51 mud, living on roots. Besieging me, you call it?
He has dug thirty miles of works. He has not enough men to guard ten miles. His men are exhausted and starving. He stays in those works during my pleasure; no longer. He cannot force me to battle. He cann...ot raid my hues. He cannot go back to Rome.
