Muhammad Ali - The Noblest Roman of them All

(Before an early fight with Doug Jones, he went to a Greenwich Village Beatnik poetry night at a bar and spoke..)

"Marcellus vanquished Carthage, Cassius laid Caesar low,
And Clay will flatten Doug Jones, with a mighty, muscled blow!
So when the gong rings, and the referee sings out 'the WINNER',
Cassius Marcellus Clay, will be the noblest Roman of them all."
