XXX

But, like a graven image, Black Auster kept his place, And ever wistfully he looked Into his master's face. The raven-mane that daily, With pats and fond caresses¹, The young Herminia washed and combed, And twined in even tresses, And decked with colored ribbons From her own gay attire², Hung sadly o'er her father's corpse³ In carnage and in mire⁴. Forth⁵ with a shout sprang Titus, And seized black Auster's rein⁶. Then Aulus sware a fearful oath, And ran at him amain. ``The furies of thy brother With me and mine abide⁷, If one of your accursed house Upon black Auster ride！''

As on a Alpine⁸ watch-tower From heaven comes down the flame, Full on the neck of Titus The blade of Aulus came： And out the red blood spouted⁹, In a wide arch and tall, As spouts¹⁰ a fountain in the court Of some rich Capuan's hall. The knees of all the Latines Were loosened with dismay, When dead, on dead Herminius, The bravest Tarquin lay.
