Death of Remus<br />

The brothers are soon burning with the urge<br />

To build a prospʹrous city of their own,<br />

Certain Quirini join the questing surge<br />

With cattle trains & tools to hack the stone;<br />

Choosing the hills<br />

Old Faustulus called home<br />

To name it causes ills, a Remo or a Rome<br />

Canto 2<br />

The march of Rome, from the conquest of the Sabines<br />

to the Conquest of Judea<br />

ʺThen we shall let the gods decide ‐<br />

Augury tutelary!ʺ<br />

Each settled on his own hill‐side<br />

Waiting word from Mercury<br />

Oer Remulus six vultures glide<br />

Giving priority<br />

But not long aft above the Palatine<br />

Twelve vultures fly, cries Remulus, ʺA sign!ʺ<br />

Inveighing quickly, thick words shoot,<br />

Bickers flickering flame<br />

Such fierce dispute! None could refute<br />

The other brothers claim<br />

Til Romulus drew scimitar & won eternal fame!<br />

Rome<br />

Esso alterro lʹorgoglio delli Arabi<br />

che di retro as Annibale passaro<br />

lʹalpestre rocce, Po, di che tu lalei<br />

Dante
