Then, one of far-descended Sabine name,

Clausus advanced, the captain of a host,

and in himself an equal host he seemed;

from his proud loins the high-born Claudian stem

through Latium multiplies, since Roman power

with Sabine first was wed. A cohort came

from Amiternum and the olden wall

of Cures, called Quirites even then;

Eretum answered and Mutusca's hill

with olives clad, Velinus' flowery field,

nomentum's fortress, the grim precipice

of Tetrica, Severus' upland fair,

Casperia, Foruli, Himella's waves,

Tiber and Fabaris, and wintry streams

of Nursia; to the same proud muster sped

Tuscan with Latin tribes, and loyal towns

beside whose walls ill-omened Allia flows.

As numerous they moved as rolling waves

that stir smooth Libyan seas, when in cold floods

sinks grim Orion's star; or like the throng

of clustering wheat-tops in the summer sun,

near Hermus or on Lycia's yellowing plain:

shields clashed; their strong tramp smote the trembling ground.

Now Agamemnon's kinsman, cruel foe

to the mere name of Troy, Halaesus, yokes

the horses of his car and summons forth

a thousand savage clans at Turnus' call :

rude men whose mattocks to the Massic hills

bring Bacchus' bounty, or by graybeard sires

sent from Auruncan upland and the mead

of Sidicinum; out of Cales came

its simple folk; and dwellers by the stream

of many-shoaled Volturnus, close-allied

with bold Saticulan or Oscan swains.

Their arms are tapered javelins, which they wear

bound by a coiling thong; a shield conceals

the left side, and they fight with crooked swords.

Nor shalt thou, Oebalus, depart unsung,

whom minstrels say the nymph Sebethis bore

to Telon, who in Capri was a king

when old and gray; but that disdaining son

quitted so small a seat, and conquering sway

among Sarrastian folk and those wide plains

watered by Sarnus' wave, became a king

over Celenna, Rufrae, Batulum,

and where among her apple-orchards rise

Abella's walls. All these, as Teutons use,

hurl a light javelin; for helm they wear

stripped cork-tree bark; the crescent of their shields

is gleaming bronze, and gleaming bronze the sword.

Next Ufens, mountain-bred, from Nersae came

to join the war; of goodly fame was he

for prosperous arms: his Aequian people show

no gentle mien, but scour the woods for prey,

or, ever-armed, across the stubborn glebe

compel the plough; though their chief pride and joy

are rapine, violence, and plundered store.

Next after these, his brows and helmet bound

with noble olive, from Marruvium came

a priest, brave Umbro, ordered to the field

by King Archippus: o'er the viper's brood,

and venomed river-serpents he had power

to scatter slumber with wide-waving hands

and wizard-songs. His potent arts could soothe

their coiling rage and heal the mortal sting:

but 'gainst a Trojan sword no drug had he,

nor could his drowsy spells his flesh repair,

nor gathered simples from the Marsic hills.

Thee soon in wailing woods Anguitia mourned,

thee, Fucinus, the lake of crystal wave,

thee, many a mountain-tarn!
