Which one is correct?

O mighty Caesar! dost thou lie so low?
Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils,
Shrunk to this little measure?

O mighty Caesar! dost thou lie so low? = O mighty Caesar! Why do you lie so low or O mighty Caesar! Do you lie so low?

The second one seem to be unidiomatic, which one is the correct translation?
