"Next Ocnus summoned forth A war-host from his native shores, the son Of Tiber, Tuscan river, and the nymph Manto, a prophetess: he gave good walls, O Mantua, and his mother's name, to thee,â To Mantua so rich in noble sires, But of a blood diverse, a triple breed, Four stems in each; and over all enthroned She rules her tribes: her strength is Tuscan born."
