Quaff with the gods immortal wine, But far be Rome from Troy disjoin'd, Remov'd by seas, from the disastrous shore, May endless billows rise between, and storms unnum- And frisk upon the tombs of kings. May tigers there, and all the savage kind, Her brinded whelps securely lay, Or, couch'd in dreadful slumbers waste the day. Rome and the Roman Capitol shall rise ; Th'illustrious exiles unconfin'd Shall triumph far and near, and rule mankind. In vain the sea's intruding tide Europe from Afric shall divide, And part the sever'd world in two : Through Afric's sands their triumphs they shall And the long train of victories pursue To Nile's yet undiscover'd head. Riches the hardy soldier shall despise, [spread, Those glitt'ring ills conceal'd within the mine, The piercing colds and sultry heats, The godlike race shall spread their arms; Till storms and tempests their pursuits confine; On these conditions shall he reign; If none the rash design pursue, Nor tempt the vengeance of the gods anew. Thrice should Apollo's self the city raise, Thrice should my fav'rite Greeks his works confound, And hew the shining fabric to the ground; Thrice should her captive dames to Greece return, In vain would thy presumptuous verse The mighty strains, in lyric numbers bound, INDEX TO VOL.
