Then brims hifl'ampktbcMrl: vith like deiign
Tbe rest invoke the god, with sprinkled wine.
Meantime tbe Sun descended (itMn tlie skies;
And the bright eveniug-star began to rise.
And now the priests, Potitius at their head,
In skins o^ beasts involved, the long procession led :
Held high the flaming Upen in their hands,
As custom had prescribe their holy bands :
Then with a second course the tablet load i
And with full chargers ofier to tbe god.
The Salii sing, and eeose his altars round
With Saban smoke ; their heads with poplar bonnd.
One choir of old, another of the young ;
To dance, and bear tbe burden of tbe song.
The lay records the labour, and the praise,
And all th* immortal acts of Hercules.
First, how the mighty babe, wbenswath'd in bands,
The serpents strangled with his mhnt hands.
Tiien, as in years and matchless force he grew,
Th' (Echaiian walls, and Trojan overthrew.
Besides a Uiousand hazards they relate,
Procured by Jono*s, and Euristheus' hate.
Thy liands, unconqu^d hero, could subdue
The cloud-bom Centaurs, and the monster crew.
Nor thy resistless arm the bull withstood :
Nor he the roaring terrour of the wood,
l^e triple porter of the Stygian seat.
With lolling tongue, lay fawning at thy feet,
And, seiz'd with fear, forgot thy mangled meat.
Th* inflemal waters trembled at the sight ;
Thee, god, no face of danger could affright ;
"Not huge Typhoeus, nor th' unnumbered snake,
IncreasM with biasing heads, in Lema's lake.
*' Hail, Jove's undoubted son ! an added grace
To Heaven, and the great author of thy race.
Receive the grateful offerings, which we pay.
And smile propitious on thy solemn day/'
In numbers, thus they sung : above the rest,
The den, and death of Cacus crown the feast.
The woods to hollow vales convey the sound ;
The vales to hills, and hills the notes rebound.
The rites performed, the cheerful train retire.
Betwixt young Pallas, and his aged sire
The Trojan pass'd, the city to survey ;
And pleasing talk beguil'd tbe tedious way.
The stranger cast around his curious eyes :
Kew objects viewing still, with new surprise.
With greedy joy inquires of various things :
And acts and monuments of ancient kings.
Then thua the founder of the Roman towers :
*' lliese woods were iii^t the seat of sylvan powers.
Of nymphi and fawns, and savage men, who took
Their birth from trunks of trees and stubborn oak.
Nor law they knew, nor manners, nor the care
Of labouring oxen, nor the shining shsre :
Kor arts of g^in, nor what th«y gainM to spare.
Their exercise tlie chase : the running flood
Supply'd their thirst ; the trees supply^ their food.
Then Saturn came, who fled the power of Jove,
Robb'H of bis realms, and banished from above.
The men, dispers'd on hills, to totins be brought ;
And laws ordain*d) and civil customs taught :
And Latium callM the land where safe he lay
Fiom his unduteout son, and his usurping sway.
With bis mild empire peace and plenty came :
And h^ue the t^olden times lieriv'd their name.
A more degenerate and discolourM age
Succeeded this, with avarice and rage.
Th' Ausonians, then, and bold Sicanians came ;
And Saturn's ompire often chang'd the name.



Then kings, gigmntic Tibrit, aad tll#m(«
With arbitrary sway, the Uad cppceit'd.
For Tiber's flood was Albulm before ;
Till, from the tyrant's fsta, bb naase it borft
I last anrivM, driv'n from my native home.
By fortune's power, and ftite's resistless doo0.
Long toss'd on seas, 1 sought this happy land :
Wam'd by my mother nymph, and calPd by Bm^
yen's command." [f****

Thus, walkmg on, he spoke: and show»d tte
Since call'd Carmental by tbe Roman state ;
Where stood an altar, sacred to tbe name
Of old Carmenta, the prophetic dame:
Who to her son foretold th' iBthenean nc9t
Sublime in fame, and Rome's imperial piece
Then shows the forest, which, in after timcs»
Fierce Romulus, for perpetrated crimes, ^
A sacred refuge made : with this, tbe shrine
Where Pan below the rocks had rites divine.
Then tells of Argus' death, his murder'd gooi.
Whose grave and tomb his innocence attest.
Thence, to the steep Tarpeian rock he leads;
Now roof 'd with gold $ then thatcfa'd with iMxaelf

reeds.
A reverend fear (such superstition reigns
Among the rude) ev'n then poesess'd the ewains.
Some god they knew, what god they coold not teOt
Did there amidst the sacred honroar dwell.
Th' Arcadians thought him Jove ; and said they sev
The mighty thunderer with majestic awe;
Who shook his shield, and dealt his bohs arowid i
And scattered tempesta on the teeming grouwL
Then saw two heaps of ruins ; once they stood
Two stately towns, on either side the flood.
Satumia's and Janicula's remains :
And either place the founder's name retaiet.
Discoursing thus together, they resort
Where poor Evander kept his coontiy court.
They view'd the ground of Rome's litigious hal^
Once oxen low'd, where now the lawyers bewL
Then, stooping, through the narrow gates thef

press'd.
When thus the king address'd his Trojan goal;
'* Mean as it is, this palace, and this door*
Receiv'd Alcides, then a conqueror.
Dare to be poor, accept our. homely food
Which feasted him ; and emulate a god."
Then underneath a lowly roof he led
The weary prince ; and laid him on a bed ;
The stuflincr leaves, with hides of bears o'ersprsed»

Now night had shed her silver dews around.
And with her sable wings embrac'd tbe ground.
When love's fair goddess, anxious for her son,
(New tumults rising, and new wars begun)
Couch'd with her husband, in his golden bed.
With these alluring words invokes his aid ;
And. that her pleasing speech his mind may mort,
Inspires each accent with the charms of love:
" While cruel fate conspir'd with Grecian |
To level with the ground the Trojan towers,
I ask'd not aid th' unhappy to restore ;
Nor did the succour of thy skill implore ;
Nor urg'd the labours of my lord in vain,
A sinking empire longer to sustain.
Though 1 much ow'd to Priam's house ;

The danger of i^eas did deplore.

Rut now, by Jove's command, and fisted decrte.
His race is doom'd to reign in Italy ; ,

With humble suit I beg thy needful ait,
Q still propitietts power that roles my heart !

Now when the night her middle race had rodle.
And his first slumber had reftesh'd the god ;

When Hving embers on the health they spread ;

With ya^nmg months, and with halfK>pcii'd

And smoky flames through fimiing tunnels soar.

Coofum'd on mortals with prodigious waste.

And their new toib with eager haste divide.

And dMdly steel in the large furnace roli'd s
Of tbis their artfol hands a shield prepare ;
Alone soflkient to sustain the war.
Seven orbs within a spacious round they close !

And songs of chh|>ing birds invite to rise.
