Threaded the tangled forest here and there;
By thorniest valley and by roughest hill,

Hideous, abominable, poisonous Care;
Beneath whose gripe he foully might have fared,
But that one quickly to his aid repaired.

So richly was this fertile race imbued
With virtuous nephews, its posterity
Surpassed the past, in brave authority,
Measured deep earth and heaven's altitude:
So that, holding all power in its hand,
No end to empire would Rome understand:
And though

Time might consume,
Time could not so diminish Roman pride,
That some head raised from the ancient tomb,
To speak her name, might be deemed to have lied.

tolerably
good, and had a degree of merit which was far from being contemptible.
