Trophy.
— Æneas plants upon a HillAn Oak of mighty Bulk, on ev'ry Side
Shorn off its Boughs: and all with shining Arms,
The Spoils of King Mezentius, clothes the Trunk:
A Trophy rais'd, great Warrior God, to Thee.
He fits the bloody Crest, and broken Darts,
And plated Corslet with twelve Wounds transfix'd:
On the left Side the brazen Buckler hangs,
And from the Neck his iv'ry-hilted Sword.—
