. The library of historic characters and famous events of all nations and all ages;. e domes with songs, the theatres with altars flame: before each altar lies,Drenchd in his gore, the destind sacrifice. Great Caesar sits sublime upon his throne,Before Apollos porch of Parian stone;Accepts the presents vowd for victory,And hangs the monumental crowns on crowds of vanquishd nations march along,Various in arms, in habit, and in , Mulciber assigns the proper placeFor Carians, and th ungirt Numidian race ;Then ranks the Thracians in the second Scythians, expert in dart and here the tamd Euphrates humbly glides;And there the Rhine submits his swelling proud Araxes, whom no bridge could bind,The Danes unconquerd offspring march behind ;And Morini, the last of human kind. These figures on the shield divinely wrought,By Vulcan labord, and by Venus brought,With joy and wonder fill the heros the names, he yet admires the grace,And bears aloft the fame and fortune of his race. — Translated by Dryden. 225. VI—15
