1.1 Arms and the man I sing, who first made way, 1.2 predestined exile, from the Trojan shore 1.3 to Italy, the blest Lavinian strand. 1.4 Smitten of storms he was on land and sea ' "
1.8 the city, and bring o'er his fathers' gods " '1.9 to safe abode in Latium ; whence arose ' "
1.10 the Latin race, old Alba's reverend lords, " 7.302 in friendship or in war, that many a tribe ' "
7.305 has sued us to be friends. But Fate's decree " 7.324 his daughter dear. He argues in his mind 7.325 the oracle of Faunus:—might this be 7.326 that destined bridegroom from an alien land, 7.327 to share his throne, to get a progeny 7.328 of glorious valor, which by mighty deeds 7.329 hould win the world for kingdom? So at last ' "
7.341 to clasp your monarch's hand. Bear back, I pray, " '7.342 this answer to your King: my dwelling holds 7.343 a daughter, whom with husband of her blood ' "7.344 great signs in heaven and from my father's tomb " '7.345 forbid to wed. A son from alien shores ' "7.346 they prophesy for Latium 's heir, whose seed " '7.347 hall lift our glory to the stars divine. 7.348 I am persuaded this is none but he, 7.349 that man of destiny; and if my heart 7.350 be no false prophet, I desire it so.” 7.351 Thus having said, the sire took chosen steeds 7.352 from his full herd, whereof, well-groomed and fair, 7.353 three hundred stood within his ample pale. 7.354 of these to every Teucrian guest he gave 7.355 a courser swift and strong, in purple clad 7.356 and broidered housings gay; on every breast 7.357 hung chains of gold; in golden robes arrayed, 7.358 they champed the red gold curb their teeth between. 7.359 For offering to Aeneas, he bade send 7.360 a chariot, with chargers twain of seed 7.361 ethereal, their nostrils breathing fire: 7.362 the famous kind which guileful Circe bred, ' "7.363 cheating her sire, and mixed the sun-god's team " '7.364 with brood-mares earthly born. The sons of Troy, 7.365 uch gifts and greetings from Latinus bearing,
7.367 But lo! from Argos on her voyage of air 7.368 rides the dread spouse of Jove. She, sky-enthroned 7.369 above the far Sicilian promontory, ' "7.370 pachynus, sees Dardania's rescued fleet, " "7.371 and all Aeneas' joy. The prospect shows " '7.372 houses a-building, lands of safe abode, 7.373 and the abandoned ships. With bitter grief 7.374 he stands at gaze: then with storm-shaken brows, 7.375 thus from her heart lets loose the wrathful word: 7.376 “O hated race! O Phrygian destinies — 7.377 to mine forevermore (unhappy me!) 7.378 a scandal and offense! Did no one die ' "7.379 on Troy 's embattled plain? Could captured slaves " "7.380 not be enslaved again? Was Ilium's flame " "7.381 no warrior's funeral pyre? Did they walk safe " '7.382 through serried swords and congregated fires? 7.383 At last, methought, my godhead might repose, 7.384 and my full-fed revenge in slumber lie. 7.385 But nay! Though flung forth from their native land, ' "7.386 I o'er the waves, with enmity unstayed, " '7.387 dared give them chase, and on that exiled few 7.388 hurled the whole sea. I smote the sons of Troy ' "7.389 with ocean's power and heaven's. But what availed " "7.390 Syrtes, or Scylla, or Charybdis' waves? " '7.391 The Trojans are in Tiber ; and abide 7.392 within their prayed-for land delectable, 7.393 afe from the seas and me! Mars once had power 7.394 the monstrous Lapithae to slay; and Jove ' "7.395 to Dian's honor and revenge gave o'er " '7.396 the land of Calydon. What crime so foul 7.397 was wrought by Lapithae or Calydon? ' "7.398 But I, Jove's wife and Queen, who in my woes " '7.399 have ventured each bold stroke my power could find, 7.400 and every shift essayed,—behold me now 7.401 outdone by this Aeneas! If so weak 7.402 my own prerogative of godhead be, 7.403 let me seek strength in war, come whence it will! 7.404 If Heaven I may not move, on Hell I call. 7.405 To bar him from his Latin throne exceeds 7.406 my fated power. So be it! Fate has given 7.407 Lavinia for his bride. But long delays 7.408 I still can plot, and to the high event 7.409 deferment and obstruction. I can smite 7.410 the subjects of both kings. Let sire and son ' "7.411 buy with their people's blood this marriage-bond! " '7.412 Let Teucrian and Rutulian slaughter be ' "7.413 thy virgin dower, and Bellona's blaze " '7.414 light thee the bridal bed! Not only teemed 7.415 the womb of Hecuba with burning brand, 7.416 and brought forth nuptial fires; but Venus, too, 7.417 uch offspring bore, a second Paris, who 7.419 So saying, with aspect terrible she sped 7.420 earthward her way; and called from gloom of hell 7.421 Alecto, woeful power, from cloudy throne 7.422 among the Furies, where her heart is fed 7.423 with horrid wars, wrath, vengeance, treason foul, 7.424 and fatal feuds. Her father Pluto loathes 7.425 the creature he engendered, and with hate 7.426 her hell-born sister-fiends the monster view. 7.427 A host of shapes she wears, and many a front 7.428 of frowning black brows viper-garlanded. 7.429 Juno to her this goading speech addressed: 7.430 “O daughter of dark Night, arouse for me 7.431 thy wonted powers and our task begin! 7.432 Lest now my glory fail, my royal name 7.433 be vanquished, while Aeneas and his crew 7.434 cheat with a wedlock bond the Latin King ' "7.435 and seize Italia 's fields. Thou canst thrust on " '7.436 two Ioving brothers to draw sword and slay, 7.437 and ruin homes with hatred, calling in 7.438 the scourge of Furies and avenging fires. 7.439 A thousand names thou bearest, and thy ways 7.440 of ruin multiply a thousand-fold. 7.441 Arouse thy fertile breast! Go, rend in twain 7.442 this plighted peace! Breed calumnies and sow 7.443 causes of battle, till yon warrior hosts
7.446 the Gorgon poison, took her viewless way 7.447 to Latium and the lofty walls and towers 7.448 of the Laurentian King. Crouching she sate 7.449 in silence on the threshold of the bower 7.450 where Queen Amata in her fevered soul ' "7.451 pondered, with all a woman's wrath and fear, " '7.452 upon the Trojans and the marriage-suit 7.453 of Turnus. From her Stygian hair the fiend 7.454 a single serpent flung, which stole its way ' "7.455 to the Queen's very heart, that, frenzy-driven, " '7.456 he might on her whole house confusion pour. 7.457 Betwixt her smooth breast and her robe it wound 7.458 unfelt, unseen, and in her wrathful mind 7.459 instilled its viper soul. Like golden chain 7.460 around her neck it twined, or stretched along 7.461 the fillets on her brow, or with her hair 7.462 enwrithing coiled; then on from limb to limb 7.463 lipped tortuous. Yet though the venom strong 7.464 thrilled with its first infection every vein, 7.465 and touched her bones with fire, she knew it not, 7.466 nor yielded all her soul, but made her plea
7.473 nor unto me, whom at the first fair wind 7.474 that wretch will leave deserted, bearing far
7.550 in sacred fillet bound, and garlanded
7.568 exultant go! Assail the Phrygian chiefs ' "
7.781 dread Juno's will, then with complaining prayer " '7.782 the aged sire cried loud upon his gods ' "7.783 and on th' unheeding air: “Alas,” said he, " '7.784 “My doom is shipwreck, and the tempest bears 7.785 my bark away! O wretches, your own blood 7.786 hall pay the forfeit for your impious crime. 7.787 O Turnus! O abominable deed! 7.788 Avenging woes pursue thee; to deaf gods 7.789 thy late and unavailing prayer shall rise. 7.790 Now was my time to rest. But as I come ' "7.791 close to my journey's end, thou spoilest me " '7.792 of comfort in my death.” With this the King
12.3 to keep his pledge, and with indigt eyes 12.4 gaze all his way, fierce rage implacable 12.5 wells his high heart. As when on Libyan plain 12.6 a lion, gashed along his tawny breast ' "12.7 by the huntsman's grievous thrust, awakens him " '12.8 unto his last grim fight, and gloriously 12.9 haking the great thews of his maned neck,
