No need of Moorish archer's craft
To guard the pure and stainless liver;
He wants not, Fuscus, poison'd shaft
To store his quiver,
Whether he traverse Libyan shoals,
Or Caucasus, forlorn and horrent,
Or lands where far Hydaspes rolls
His fabled torrent.
A wolf, while roaming trouble-free
In Sabine wood, as fancy led me,
Unarm'd I sang my Lalage,
Beheld, and fled me.
Dire monster! in her broad oak woods
Fierce Daunia fosters none such other,
Nor Juba's land, of lion broods
The thirsty mother.
Place me where on the ice-bound plain
No tree is cheer'd by summer breezes,
Where Jove descends in sleety rain
Or sullen freezes;
Place me where none can live for heat,
'Neath Phoebus' very chariot plant me,
That smile so sweet, that voice so sweet,
Shall still enchant me.

Curio received the same news, but for some time would not believe it, so
greatly did he confide in his good fortune. Besides, Caesar's success in Spain was already known in Africa; whence he concluded it improbable
that Juba would attempt any thing against him.
But when he was for certain informed with his whole army, he retired from
before the town to the Cornelian camp, laid in great quantities of corn and
wood, began to fortify himself, and sent directly to Sicily for the cavalry, and the two
legions he had left there. The camp itself was very advantageous for
protracting the war, being strong both by nature and art, near the sea, and
abounding in water and salt, great quantities of which had been carried
thither from the neighbouring saltpits. Neither ran he any h

This resolution being taken, and meeting with general approbation, some of
the townsmen, who had deserted to Curio, informed him, that the war in which Juba was engaged with the Leptitani,
having obliged him to return into his own kingdom, he had only sent his
lieutenant Sabura, with a small body of forces, to the assistance of the
Uticans. Upon this intelligence, to which he too hastily gave credit, he
changed his design, and resolved to give battle. The fire of youth, his
courage, good success, and self-confidence, contributed greatly to confirm
him in this resolution. Urged by these considerations, about the beginning
of the night, he sent all his cavalry towards the enemy's camp, which was
upon the river Bagradas, and where Sabura, of whom we have spoken before,
