Proxima victricem cum Romam inspexerit Eos,
et dederit Phoebo stella fugata locum, 390
Circus erit pompa celeber numeroque deorum,
primaque ventosis palma petetur equis.
389 When the next Dawn shall have looked on victorious Rome, and the stars shall have been put to flight and given place to the sun, the Circus will be thronged with a procession and an array of the gods, and the horses, fleet as the wind, will contend for the first palm.
