VIII
On the left side goes Remus,
With wrists and fingers red,
And in his hand a boar-spear,
And on the point a head--

And holy fillets round it,
Such as the pontiffs wear--

Who spake the words of doom:
"The children to the Tiber;
The mother to the tomb.

And deep is the sigh of his breath,
And with stedfast

his eyes are intent
On the fetters that link him to death.
