'Torn from his tomb, that god of all mankind 'Isis, unburied, shall avenge thy shade; And veiled Osiris shall I hurl abroad 'And sacred Apis;See Book VIII., line 545. and with these their gods 'I'll light a furnace that shall burn the head 'They held in insult.

Sad as one Who deep in fear presages ills to come, Cnaeus beheld his brother and his band Of patriot comrades. Swift into the wave He leaped and cried, ' Where, brother, is our sire? ' Still stands our country mistress of the world, ' Or are we fallen, Rome with Magnus' death ' Rapt to the shades?
