326 Anne Bradji reefs Works.

The Romans fore incens'd, their General flay,

And from old Alba fetch the wealth away;

Oi Latin Kin^s this was long lince the Seat,

But now demoliflied, to make Rome great.

Thirty two years did Tullus reign, then dye, [189]

Left Rome in wealth, and power ftill growing high.

Ancus Martuis.

~VTEXT Ancus Mai^tius fits upon the Throne, ^ ^ Nephew unto Pompilius dead and gone; Rome he inlarg'd, new built again the wall. Much ftronger, and more beautiful withal; A ftatel}^ Bridge he over Tyber made. Of Boats and Oars no more they need the aid. Fair OJiia he built this Town, it fl:ood Clofe by the mouth of famous Tyber floud, Twenty four years time of his Royal race, Then unto death unwillingly gives place.
