{ To make the rich caparison his prey,

{ Which on the steed of conquered Rhamnes lay.

Nor did his eyes less longingly behold

The girdle-belt, with nails of burnished gold.

This present Cædicus the rich bestowed

On Remulus, when friendship first they vowed,

And, absent, joined in hospitable ties:

He, dying, to his heir bequeathed the prize;

Till, by the conquering Ardean troops oppressed,

He fell; and they the glorious gift possessed.
