Succeed; and next, a hundred neighing steeds,

White as the fleecy rain on Alpine hills;

That bound, and foam, and champ the golden bit,

As they disdain’d the victory they grace.

Prisoners of war in shining fetters follow:

And captains of the noblest blood of Afric

Sweat by his chariot-wheels, and lick and grind,

With gnashing teeth, the dust his triumphs raise.

The swarming populace spread every wall,

And cling, as if with claws they did enforce
