With chaplets and with offerings,
With music and with song;
And let the doors and windows
Be hung with garlands all,
And let the knights be summoned
To Mars without the wall:
Thence let them ride in purple
With joyous trumpet-sound,
Each mounted on his war-horse,
And each with olive crowned;
And pass in solemn order
Before the sacred dome,
Where dwell the Great Twin Brethren
Who fought so well for Rome.

Of man turn fearfully my eyes aside;

Of her I love, who oft with cruel sport
Will mock the pangs I bear, the tears, the sighs;
Yet e'en these ills I prize,
Though bitter, sweet, nor would they were removed
For my heart
whispers

To grant a happier hour:
Perchance, though self-despised, thou yet art loved:

Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines
From which a golden Cupidon peeped out 80

O decus eximium magnis uirtutibus augens,
Emathiae
tutamen opis, clarissime nato,
accipe, quod laeta tibi pandunt luce sorores, 325
ueridicum oraclum: sed uos, quae fata secuntur,
currite ducentes subtegmina, currite, fusi.

Holding you naked as I've wanted;
For you are worth the hundred best,

XXII
When our two souls stand up erect and strong,
Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher,
Until the
lengthening
wings break into fire
At either curved point,--what bitter wrong
Can the earth do to us, that we should not long
Be here contented?

Without rest or pause--while those frumious jaws
Went savagely snapping around--
He skipped and he hopped, and he
floundered
and flopped,
Till fainting he fell to the ground.
