ROME'S FOUNDING. Hail! foster-child of the wondrous nurse! MACAULAY, PROPHECY OF CAPYS. ARGUMENT. ROMULUS and Remus are miraculously born. They make themselves a name among the people, restore their grandfather to his throne, and found a city on the Palatine. While it is building, Remus' haste leads to his death.—(FASTI, III. 11 foll.; IV. 811 foll.) With this should be compared the fuller narrative in LIVY i. 3—7. Silvia, daughter of Numitor, a Vestal virgin, falls asleep by the river side. Mars sees her, and loves her. SILVIA Vestalis (quid enim vetat inde moveri ?) Sacra lavaturas mane petebat aquas. Ventum erat ad molli declivem tramite ripam: p. 148 Fessa resedit humi, ventosque accepit aperto 121 B.b ΙΟ Dum sedet, umbrosae salices volucresque canorae 153 z 106 a Blanda quies furtim victis obrepsit ocellis, [cupita.

The city is founded by Romulus with prayers, and under good omens. 50 60 70 Contrahere agrestes et moenia ponere utrique 106 I 149 "Nil opus est" dixit "certamine" Romulus "ullo: 119 p. 148 150 Sex Remus, hic volucres bis sex videt ordine: pacto 114 Fossa repletur humo, plenaeque imponitur ara, Inde premens stivam designat moenia sulco: 106 a 119 a 112 Vox fuit haec regis: "Condenti, Iuppiter, urbem 107 Quosque pium est adhibere deos, advertite cuncti! 125 a Longa sit huic aetas dominaeque potentia terrae, 107 c Iuppiter, et laevo fulmina missa polo.
