But he did not hesitate long.He gave the word,and rode boldly across the shallow stream.
“We have crossed the Rubicon,” he cried as he reached the farther shore.“There is now no turning back.” Soon the news was carried to Rome “Caesar has crossed the Rubicon” and there was great fear among those who had planned to destroy him.Pompey’s soldiers deserted him and hurried to join themselves to Caesar’s army.The Rome senators and their friends made ready to escape from the city.
“Caesar has crossed the Rubicon!” was shouted along the roads and byways leading to Rome;and the country people turned out to meet and hail with joy the conquering hero.
The word was carried a second time to the city “Caesar has crossed the Rubicon” and the wild fight began.Senators and public officers left everything behind and hurried away to seek safety with Pompey.On foot,on horseback,in litters,in carriages,they fled for their lives—all because Caesar had crossed the Rubicon.Pompey was unable to protect them.He hurried to the seacoast,and,with all who were able to accompany him,sailed away to Greece.
Caesar was the master of Rome.

A.Enthusiastic in the march.
