From Clusium[7] brought, and Cosa, by his care:

For arms, light quivers, bows and shafts, they bear.

Fierce Abas next: his men bright armour wore:

His stern Apollo's golden statue bore.

Six hundred Populonia sent along,

All skilled in martial exercise, and strong.

Three hundred more for battle Ilva joins,

An isle renowned for steel, and unexhausted mines.

Asylas on his prow the third appears,

Who heaven interprets, and the wandering stars;
