green plain fast by the water´side�察�Where Mincius winds more vast in lazy 

coils�察�And   rims   his   margent   with   the   tender   reed。 Amid   my   shrine   shall 

Caesar's godhead dwell。 To him will I�察�as victor�察�bravely dight In Tyrian 

purple�察�drive along the bank A hundred four´horse cars。 All Greece for me�察�

offer gifts。 Even 'tis present joy To lead the high processions to the fane�察�

And view the victims felled�察�or how the scene Sunders with shifted face�察�

and Britain's sons Inwoven thereon with those proud curtains rise。 Of gold 

and massive ivory on the doors I'll trace the battle of the Gangarides�察�And 

our   Quirinus'   conquering   arms�察  �and   there   Surging   with   war�察  �and   hugely 

flowing�察  �the   Nile�察  �And   columns   heaped   on   high   with   naval   brass。   And 

Asia's vanquished cities I will add�察�And quelled Niphates�察�and the Parthian 

foe�察�Who trusts in flight and backward´volleying darts�察�And trophies torn 

with twice triumphant hand From empires twain on ocean's either shore。 

And breathing forms of Parian marble there Shall stand�察�the offspring of 

Assaracus�察�And great names of the Jove´descended folk�察�And father Tros�察�

and Troy's first founder�察�lord Of Cynthus。 And accursed Envy there Shall 

dread   the    Furies�察 �and   thy   ruthless   flood�察 �Cocytus�察    �and  Ixion's   twisted
