29. Upon a Sea-fight.

The Palm of Glory, to Augustus yeeld;
For framing Sea, into a pitched Field.
How then may Cæsar Triumph? Such Beasts are,
Guests to the Waves, as Sea-green Thetis scare.
Swift Chariots track the Main; at whose approach,
Triton cri'd out; Here coms King Neptune's Coach.
133

Whilst Nereus for the Skirmishes provides;
And a Whales Back, victoriously Bestrides.
What Cæsar's pleasure, shall the Circk command;
The Flouds React; as Mimicks to the Land.
On Claudius; Nero's Lake; let Scorn reflect:
Domitian's shows, merit entire Respect.
