Tranflated by Pitt, 



The prince now call'd, before the games were done 

 The hoary guardian of his royal fon ; 

 And gently whifper'd in his faithful ear, 

 To bid Afcanius in his arms appear. 

 And with his youthful band and courfer come 

 To pay due honours to his grandfire's tomb. 

 Next he commands the huge aflembled train^. 

 To quit the ground, and leave an open plain. 

 Strait on their bridled fteeds, with grace divine,. 

 The blooming youths before their fathers Ihine.
