r, and (for such thy fate) ' Make good thy liberty through civil war.' The frightened people heard, and as they heard His words prophetic made them fear the more. But worse remained; for as on Pindus' slopes Possessed with fury from the Theban god Speeds some Bacchante, thus in Roman streets Behold a matron run, who, in her trance, Relieves her bosom of the god within. ' Where dost thou snatch me, Paean, to what shore 'Through airy regions borne? I see the snows 'Of Thracian mountains; and Philippi's plains 'Lie broad beneath. But why these battle lines, 'No foe to vanquish-Rome on either hand? 'Again I wander 'neath the rosy hues 'That paint thine eastern skies, where regal Nile 'Meets with his flowing wave the rising tide. 'Known to mine eyes that mutilated trunk ' That lies upon the sand! Across the seas 'By changing whirlpools to the burning climes 'Of Libya borne, again I see the hosts 'From Thracia brought by fate's command. And now 'Thou bear'st me o'er the cloud-compelling Al

There upon the field Lay all the honour of Rome; no common stream Mixed with the purple tide.

But, ye gods, Give us to hate the lands which bear the guilt; Let not all earth be cursed, though not all Be blameless found. 'Twas thus that Munda's fight And blood of Mutina, and Leucas' cape, And sad Pachynus,Alluding to the naval war waged by Sextus Pompeius after Caesar's death. He took possession of Sicily, and had command of the seas, but was ultimately defeated by the fleet of Octavius under Agrippa in B.C. 36. Pachynus was the S.E. promontory of the island, but is used in the sense of Sicily, for this battle took place on the north coast. made Philippi pure.
