m dogs Stricken with madness, foaming at the stream; A lynx's entrails: and the knot that grows Upon the fell hyaena; flesh of stags Fed upon serpents; and the sucking fish Which holds the vessel backOne of the miraculous stories to be found in Pliny's 'Natural History.' See Lecky's 'Augustus to Charlemagne,' vol. i., p. 370. though eastern winds Make bend the canvas; dragon's eyes; and stones That sound beneath the brooding eagle's wings. Nor Araby's viper, nor the ocean snake Who in the Red Sea waters guards the shell, Are wanting; nor the slough on Libyan sands By horned reptile cast; nor ashes fail Snatched from an altar where the Phoenix died. And viler poisons many, which herself Has made, she adds, whereto no name is given: Pestiferous leaves pregnant with magic chants And blades of grass which in their primal growth Her cursed mouth had slimed. Last came her voice More potent than all herbs to charm the gods Who rule in Lethe. Dissonant murmurs first And sounds discordant fr

Punic blood, and of descentJuba was of supposed collateral descent from Hannibal. (Haskins, quoting 'The Scholiast.') 'Supposed from Hannibal, is swollen with pride 'At Varus' prayer for aid, and sees in thought Rome's fates beneath his own. Then, comrades, seek 'At speed, the Eastern world. Those mighty realms 'Euphrates severs from us, and the gates 'Called Caspian; on another sky than ours ' There day and night revolve; another sea ' Of different hue is parted from our own.Confusing the Red Sea with the Persian Gulf. ' Rule is their wish, nought else: and in their plains ' Taller the war-horse, stronger twangs the bow; ' There fails nor youth nor age to wing the shaft ' Fatal in flight. Their archers first subdued ' The lance of Macedon and Bactra's Balkh of modern times. Bactria was one of the kingdoms established by the successors of Alexander the Great. It was, however, subdued by the Parthians about the middle of the third century B.C. walls, ' Home of the Mede; and haughty B

supposed, knew nothing of this. Haply when famine rages in the land Or burning southern winds, or fires abound And earthquake shocks, and Rome shall pray an end From angry heaven-by the gods' command, In council given, shalt thou be transferred To thine own city, and the priest shall bear Thy sacred ashes to their last abode. Who now may seek beneath the raging Crab Or hot Syene's waste, or Thebes athirst Under the rainy Pleiades, to gaze On Nile's broad stream; or whoso may exchange On the Red Sea or in Arabian ports Some Eastern merchandise, shall turn in awe To view the venerable stone that marks Thy grave, Pompeius; and shall worship more Thy dust commingled with the arid sand, Thy shade though exiled, than the fane upreared There was a temple to Jupiter on 'Mount Casius old.' On Casius' mount to Jove! In temples shrined And gold, thy memory were viler deemed: Fortune lies with thee in thy lowly tomb And makes thee rival of Olympus' king.

nks of Rhine None such had witnessed; some with features scorched By torrid suns, their locks in twisted coils Drawn from their foreheads. Eunuchs too were there, Unhappy race; and on the other side Men of full age whose cheeks with growth of hair Were hardly darkened. Upon either hand Lay kings, and Caesar in the midst supreme. There in her fatal beauty lay the Queen Thick daubed with unguents, nor with throne content Nor with her brother spouse; laden she lay On neck and hair with all the Red Sea spoils, And faint beneath the weight of gems and gold. Her snowy breast shone through Sidonian lawn Which woven close by shuttles of the East The art of Nile had loosened. Ivory feet Bore citron tables brought from woods that waveBook IX., 507. On Atlas, such as Caesar never saw When Juba was his captive. Blind in soul By madness of ambition, thus to fire By such profusion of her wealth, the mind Of Caesar armed, her guest in civil war!

e earth with direct rays. 'Next dost thou journey onwards past the realm 'Of burning Phoebus, and the sterile sands, 'With equal volume; now with all thy strength 'Gathered in one, and now in devious streams 'Parting the bank that crumbles at thy touch. 'Then by our kingdom's gates, where Philae parts 'Arabian peoples from Egyptian fields ' The sluggish bosom of thy flood recalls ' Thy wandering currents, which through desert wastes ' Flow gently on to where the merchant track ' Divides the Red Sea waters from our own. ' Who, gazing, Nile, upon thy tranquil flow, ' Could picture how in wild array of foam ' (Where shelves the earth) thy billows shall be plunged ' Down the steep cataracts, in fuming wrath ' That rocks should bar the passage of thy stream ' Free from its source? For whirled on high the spray ' Aims at the stars, and trembles all the air With rush of waters; and with sounding roar The foaming mass down from the summit pours In hoary waves victorious.
