And then pei'ceived with hlack despair, That they were taken in a snare ; Betwixt his wings and centre tossed, That victory and life were lost, Paiiliis and ^melius fell.
Leading their wings, and sunk to Hell, (If any heathen word there be Like Hell that means eternity.) The Eoman courage did not fail, But they were cut off in detail ; They had to face about in squads, And lost advantage of the odds.
That numbers always will exert^ When brought to bear in firm concert ; To fight bis Cuneus side
...s and rear.
And brush their crowded legions clear, Of Carthagenian wings outside.
All their numerous host defied.
THE BATTLE OF CANN.E. 31 The Ruuuui anny faught three hours, Struggling- hard with all its powers, Against the inevitable fate, Which Hannibal had laid in wait.
On six lines the battle raged, The inner Romans were engaged, Against his cuneus, sides and rear, Which they surrounded and were near ; Their outer ranks must face or fall.
Before his wings outside of all, Except remaining cavalry.
