  1. The Rutules seized the spoils of victory,
  2. and slowly to their camp, with wail and cry,
  3. bore Volscens' corse; and in the eamp they made
  4. like wailing over Rhamnes lifeless found,
  5. o'er Numa and Serranus, and a throng
  6. of princes dead. The gazing people pressed
  7. around the slain, the dying, where the earth
  8. ran red with slaughter and full many a stream
  9. of trickling gore; nor did they fail to know
  10. Messapus' glittering helm, his baldric fair,
  11. recaptured now with lavish sweat and pain.
