formation as will aid in understJindingthe story. 12 HORATIUS Herminius smote down Aruns: Lartius laid Ociiiis low:Right to the heart of Lausulus rioratius sent a blow.Lie there, he cried, fell pirate! No more, aghast and pale,From Ostias walls the crowd shall markThe track of thy destroying bark.No more Campanias^* hinds*^ shall flyTo woods and caverns when they spy Thy thrice accursed sail.

He reeled, and on Herminius He leaned one breathing-space;Then, like a wild-cat mad with wounds. Sprang right at Asturs face.Through teeth, and skull, and helmet. So fierce a thrust he sped,The good sword stood a handbreadth out Behind the Tuscans head. And the great Lord of Luna Fell at that deadly stroke,As falls on Mount Alvernus A thunder-smitten oak. 21. Romulus, the founder of Rome, and Remus, his brother, were,according to the legend, rescued and brought up
