A man is wont to fear in everything;

But when Fate flows on smoothly, then to trust

That the same Fate will ever send fair gales.

So now all these disasters from the Gods

Seem in mine eyes filled full of fear and dread,

And in mine ears rings cry unpæanlike,

So great a dread of all has seized my soul:

And therefore now, without or chariot's state

Or wonted pomp, have I thus issued forth
