Through Sion's streets his glad arrival's spread,

And conscious faction shrinks her snaky head;

His train their sufferings think o'erpaid to see

The crowds applause with virtue once agree.

Success charms all, but zeal for worth distrest,

A virtue proper to the brave and best;

'Mongst whom was Jothran,[392] Jothran always bent

To serve the crown, and loyal by descent;

Whose constancy so firm, and conduct just,

Deserved at once two royal masters' trust;
