    Last night the very gods showed me a vision--
    I fast and prayed for their intelligence--thus:
    I saw Jove's bird, the Roman eagle, winged
    From the spongy south to this part of the west,
    There vanished in the sunbeams; which portends,
    Unless my sins abuse my divination,
    Success to th' Roman host.

But he not less the eagle.
