These glittering spoils (now made the victor's gain)

He to his body suits, but suits in vain.

Messapus' helm he finds among the rest,

And laces on, and wears the waving crest.

Proud of their conquest, prouder of their prey,

They leave the camp, and take the ready way.

But far they had not passed, before they spied

Three hundred horse, with Volscens for their guide.
