!Tow long, Bellona, shall thy ruthless hand, -
Spread devastation o:er it weeping land?
How long, fierce Goddess, shall the clarion's breath,
Rid havoc smile and mock the groans of death ? •
For ever then shall peril anddisimay
Unfurl their ensigns to the, reeking-day ?
Come, gentle Peace, thy sacred.ltranclt extend"
And bid tb- Itlchion in a ploughshare end; . • .
Give Arta aloin,to flourish ; Commerce spread, • •
And '4cienee to exalt, her tlrooping head ; •
Then JIM] the Warrior, in tcrenti repose,
Reflect, with pleasure, ail former woes;
Then shall his fair one with indus.trions, care,
Cull the fiWiet.tuyitle t, adorn his hair;
Or,: with the laurels that tie temples grace,
The pkticeful-rose, or tender place.
No more shall clintiona roar; the trnmpet, mutes
Shall hark in Silence to the love-toted lute— •

The Romans were accustomed to celebrate their victories
by friumphal pneffisions. Nothinic was better calcalatedio

time, to excite :tit emulation amongst others which lays the
