Triumph.
The laurel crownes their browes, they Io sing,
And to the captiol their trophies bring.
In ivory chariot rides
The glorious wardrobe of the victors show.
High pallaces are now with garlands dight,
And smoking incense, turnes the day to night,
Now the white victimes by the axe are slain,
And with their purple blood the pavements stain;
The captive kings more to encrease the show,
Before the plumed horse do chained goe.
The subj••cts by loud shouts their love do shew,
Whilst all the way with sweetest flowers they strew,
The V••ctors Temple crown'd with verdant baies,
The souldiers singing Io to his praise,
While in his ivory chariot drawn he goes
Into the temple.
v. May's continuation of Lucan. lib. 5.
