Analysis of Caesar, Caesar



Caesar! Caesar! shining bright,
In the forest of the night,
Tell me how you escaped,
From King Sulla's fate.

Caesar! Caesar! On the boat,
By the pirates dreadful moat,
How did you get your money,
Which they took acting funny.

Caesar! Caesar! On the charge,
Conquering Gallic tribes at large,
Even though this was illegal,
It led to you becoming regal.

Oh dear friend I had tried,
But Sulla just up and died,
The pirates I returned to kill,
The crown I wear forever still.
