March In Step Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

March In Step



What then has he in store for me, his father?
When two men march in step,
The bristling land's a-tremble with tense tumult,
Dolabella is on the way to greet Caesar,
For many pupils are better than their teacher.
The Stoics chose indifference, ‘no chose indifferente'
Less virtue, all is vice, and ‘things indifferent'.

-Publius Cornelius Dolabella (70 BC - 43 BC) was a Roman general, by far the most important of the Dolabellae. He arranged for himself to be adopted by a plebeian so that he could become a Tribune. He married Cicero's daughter Tullia Ciceronis. Throughout his life he was an extreme profligate, something that Plutarch wrote reflected ill upon his patron Julius Caesar.
