6. On Trajan's Return to Rome
Ah happy they, whom Fortune grants to see
Our chief ablaze with northern pageantry.
When shall our maidens at their windows stand
And fill the Campus with their happy band?
When shall all Rome on the Flaminian Way
See the dust rise that ends the dear delay?
While knights and painted Moors and people cry—
‘He comes, he comes’—as Caesar passes by.
