from Punica
[Juno chooses Hannibal to oppose Rome]
Again she Arms prepares. One Captain may
Suffice Her to embroil the Earth, and Sea.
And He was Hannibal, who now puts on
All Her dire Fury. Him she dares alone
Ev'n 'gainst the Fates oppose.
*
This said, the Youth, who nothing else desires,
But Broils, and Wars, with Martial thoughts she fires.
Faithless, repleat with Guilt, Unjust was He,
And, when once arm'd contemn'd the Deity;
Valiant, but Cruel, hating Peace, and fir'd
With a strange Thirst of Humane Blood, desir'd,
Then, in His pride of Youth, to wipe away
His Father's stains,* and i'th' Sicilian sea
To drown all Leagues. Juno, with Hope of Praise,
Inflames his Heart, to which His Soul obeys.
Now in his Dreams, He seems to break into
The Capitol, and o're the Alps to go:
On in His troubled Sleep, rising by Night,
With horrid Cries His Servants hee'd affright;
Who found Him, bath'd in Sweat, His future War
To wage, and beat with Rage the empty Air.
– Silius Italicus (AD 25-101), translated by Thomas Ross (1661)
*Hannibal's father Hamilcar had been driven out of Sicily by the Romans
