Answer
According to <em>Grammarly,</em>
A gerund phrase is a phrase consisting of a gerund and any modifiers or objects associated with it. A gerund is a noun made from a verb root plus <em>ing </em>(a present participle). A whole gerund phrase functions in a sentence just like a noun, and can act as a subject, an object, or a predicate nominative.

Answer:
He plans to remove Lepidus from power once he has served his purpose.
Explanation:
In William Shakespeare's play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", the character of Lepidus has just three dialogues in the whole play. He was to be one of the three members of the Second Triumvirate, after the death of Julius Caesar.
Antony plans to use Lepidus as much as he can but he thinks that he is not worthy to be a part of the new Second Triumvirate. In Act Act IV scene i, we see the three members of the Second Triumvirate - Antony, Octavius and Lepidus deciding who should be killed for the murder of Caesar. Lepidus's brother and Antony's nephew must also die for their involvement in the murder. After that was decided, Antony sent Lepidus to go and get Caesar's will from his house. After he left, Antony remarked to Octavius that Lepidus is just meant to obey orders and not be a leader, not fit for being a part of the Triumvirate. He said that "<em>He must be taught and trained and bid go forth, A barren-spirited fellow, one that feeds On objects, arts, and imitations</em>". This shows that he plans to remove Lepidus from power once he has served his purpose.
On one hand, we have the narrator of Death Be Not Proud who is brave when faced with Death. He is trying to diminish its influence by showing that he is not afraid because it can't do much to him - once he dies, he will transcend life and continue existing somewhere else, and then Death won't have any power over him - <em>"</em><span><span><em>One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally, And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die."</em>
</span>On the other hand, we have Ivan Ilyich from The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Here, we have quite the opposite situation. We can see that Ivan is terribly afraid of dying and that he is trying to deny the fact that death is near. He doesn't want to die, he isn't ready for that, and he is scared to death. He is not sure if there is anything beyond death, whereas the first speaker is quite certain death is not the end. </span><span><em>"When I am not, what will there be? There will be nothing. Then where shall I be when I am no more? Can this be dying? No, I don't want to!"</em></span>
