Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft,
"With our own feathers, not by others' hand
Are we now smitten."

"Last night the very gods showed me a vision–
I fast and prayed for their intelligence–thus:
I saw Jove's bird, the Roman eagle, winged
From the spongy south to this part of the west,
There vanished in the sunbeams; which portends,
Unless my sins abuse my divination,
Success to th' Roman host."
