Elegia XIII.[429]

De Junonis festo.

When fruit-filled Tuscia should a wife give me,

We touched the walls, Camillus, won by thee.

The priests to Juno did prepare chaste feasts,

With famous pageants, and their home-bred beasts.

To know their rites well recompensed my stay,

Though thither leads a rough steep hilly way.

There stands an old wood with thick trees dark clouded:

Who sees it grants some deity there is shrouded.
