A Lay Sung at the Feast (24)

    ``Herminius！ Aulus greets thee； He bids thee come with speed, To help our central bettle, For sore is there our need； There wars the youngest Tarquin, And there the Crest of Flame, The Tusculan Mamilius, Prince of the Latian name. Valerius hath fallen fighting In front of our array； And Aulus of the seventy fields Alone upholds the day.''
