Plutarch ('Romulus') refers this custom to the rape of the Sabine women, who were 'so lift up and carried away by force.' (North, volume i., p. 88, Edition by Windham.) I have read vetuit in this passage, though vitat appears toame, Wearing the garb of sorrow, while the wool Covered the purple border of her robe, Thus was she wedded.

She had a veil of bright yellow colour. ('Dict. Antiq.') Nor modest circle bound her neck; no scarf Hung lightly on the snowy shoulder's edge Around the naked arm.
