The Alban hills, and those of Tusculum;

And whatsoever cool shade lies under the city;

Old Fidenæ,[9] and little Ruba;[10]

And, that which delights in virgins' blood,

The apple-bearing grove of Anna Perenna.[11]

From thence, on the Flaminian and Salarian ways,[12]

The rider is manifest, his chariot-wheels being silent,

Whose gentle sleep may not be molested,

Neither to break it by nautical shouts,

Nor the clamour of the vigorous bargee,
