what did the Slave in the Roman Chariot always whisper in Ceasar's left ear? Should be required reading for all SMU phenom freshman QBs

"The movie Patton that chronicles the many WWII conquests of General
George Patton ends with the statement:

For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars
enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. The conqueror rode
in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before
him. And a slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and
whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."
