His course obliquely veer’d, and, steering wide

With steady rein, the wild commotion pass’d

Of tumbling chariots and tumultuous steeds.

Next, and, though last, yet full of confidence

And hopes of victory, Orestes came;

But when he saw of his antagonists

Him only now remaining, to his mares

Anxious he raised his stimulating voice.

And now with equal fronts abreast they drove,

Now with alternate momentary pride
