Hail! foster-child of the wondrous nurse! MACAULAY, PROPHECY OF Carys. 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.
