Fight as thou wast wont to vanquish!

VIII.

Yet once more, ye old Penates!

Let not your quenched hearts be Atés!

Yet again, ye shadowy Heroes,

Yield not to these stranger Neros!

Though the son who slew his mother

Shed Rome's blood, he was your brother:

'Twas the Roman curbed the Roman;—

Brennus was a baffled foeman.110
