Again and again the orator in the Philippics charges Antony with having used Caesar's seal ring for lucrative forgeries in state documents. It is interesting to find that Vergil's school friend, Varius, in his poem on Caesar's death, called De Morte first put Cicero's charges into effective verse: Vendidit hic Latium populis agrosque Quiritum Eripuit: fixit leges pretio atque refixit.
The legend of this medallion was: "Eripuit coelo fulmen, sceptrumque tyrannis." The King never declared his opinion upon an enthusiasm which his correct judgment no doubt led him to blame. The Queen spoke out more plainly about the part France was taking respecting the independence of the American colonies, and constantly opposed it.

During his long journeys, and at nights when tortured by the gout, he amused himself by making Latin verses; though the only line of his that has been preserved was that intended to designate the portrait of Benjamin Franklin: "Eripuit caelo fulmen, sceptrumque tyrannis."
Two fine verses, slightly modified in expression but not in rhythm, have found their way into the Aeneid. "Vendidit hic Latium populis, agrosque Quiritum Eripuit: fixit leges pretio atque refixit." Besides this poem he wrote another on the praises of Augustus, for which Horace testifies his fitness while excusing himself from approaching the same subject.
