17.322 dear to Ares, up to Ilios, vanquished in their cowardice, and the Argives would have won glory even beyond the allotment of Zeus, by reason of their might and their strength, had not Apollo himself aroused Aeneas, taking upon him the form of the herald, Periphas, son of Epytos, that in the house of his old father 17.325 had grown old in his heraldship, and withal was of kindly mind toward him. In his likeness spake unto Aeneas the son of Zeus, Apollo:Aeneas, how could ye ever guard steep Ilios, in defiance of a god? In sooth I have seen other men that had trust in their strength and might, in their valour 17.330 and in their host, and that held their realm even in defiance of Zeus. But for us Zeus willeth the victory far more than for the Danaans; yet yourselves ye have measureless fear, and fight not. So spake he, and Aeneas knew Apollo that smiteth afar, when he looked upon his face, and he called aloud, and spake to Hector: 17.334 and in their host, and that held their realm even in defiance of Zeus.

6.767
Stretched o'er nine roods he lies; a vulture huge " 6.768 Tears with hooked beak at his immortal side,
6.769
Or deep in entrails ever rife with pain
6.770
Gropes for a feast, making his haunt and home
6.771
In the great Titan bosom; nor will give
6.772
To ever new-born flesh surcease of woe.
6.773
Why name Ixion and Pirithous,
6.774
The Lapithae, above whose impious brows
6.775
A crag of flint hangs quaking to its fall,
6.776
As if just toppling down, while couches proud,
6.777
Propped upon golden pillars, bid them feast
6.778
In royal glory: but beside them lies
6.779
The eldest of the Furies, whose dread hands
6.780
Thrust from the feast away, and wave aloft
6.781
A flashing firebrand, with shrieks of woe.
6.782
Here in a prison-house awaiting doom
6.783
Are men who hated, long as life endured,
6.784
Their brothers, or maltreated their gray sires,
6.785
Or tricked a humble friend; the men who grasped
6.786
At hoarded riches, with their kith and kin
6.787
Not sharing ever—an unnumbered throng;
6.788
Here slain adulterers be; and men who dared
6.789
To fight in unjust cause, and break all faith
6.790
With their own lawful lords. Seek not to know
6.791
What forms of woe they feel, what fateful shape ' "
6.792
of retribution hath o'erwhelmed them there. " 6.793 Some roll huge boulders up; some hang on wheels,
6.794
Lashed to the whirling spokes; in his sad seat
6.795
Theseus is sitting, nevermore to rise;
6.796
Unhappy Phlegyas uplifts his voice
6.797
In warning through the darkness, calling loud,
6.798
‘0, ere too late, learn justice and fear God!’
6.799
Yon traitor sold his country, and for gold
6.800
Enchained her to a tyrant, trafficking
6.801
In laws, for bribes enacted or made void;
6.802
Another did incestuously take
6.803
His daughter for a wife in lawless bonds.
6.804
All ventured some unclean, prodigious crime;
6.805
And what they dared, achieved. I could not tell,
6.806
Not with a hundred mouths, a hundred tongues,
6.807
Or iron voice, their divers shapes of sin, ' "
6.809
So spake Apollo's aged prophetess. " 6.810 “Now up and on!” she cried. “Thy task fulfil!
6.811
We must make speed. Behold yon arching doors
6.812
Yon walls in furnace of the Cyclops forged! ' "
6.813
'T is there we are commanded to lay down " "
6.814
Th' appointed offering.” So, side by side, " 6.815 Swift through the intervening dark they strode,
6.816
And, drawing near the portal-arch, made pause.
6.817
Aeneas, taking station at the door, ' "
6.818
Pure, lustral waters o'er his body threw, " 6.820 Now, every rite fulfilled, and tribute due
6.821
Paid to the sovereign power of Proserpine,
6.822
At last within a land delectable
6.823
Their journey lay, through pleasurable bowers
6.824
of groves where all is joy,—a blest abode!
6.825
An ampler sky its roseate light bestows
6.826
On that bright land, which sees the cloudless beam
6.827
of suns and planets to our earth unknown.
6.828
On smooth green lawns, contending limb with limb,
6.829
Immortal athletes play, and wrestle long ' "
6.830
'gainst mate or rival on the tawny sand; " 6.831 With sounding footsteps and ecstatic song,
6.832
Some thread the dance divine: among them moves
6.833
The bard of Thrace, in flowing vesture clad,
6.834
Discoursing seven-noted melody,
6.835
Who sweeps the numbered strings with changeful hand,
6.836
Or smites with ivory point his golden lyre.
6.837
Here Trojans be of eldest, noblest race,
6.838
Great-hearted heroes, born in happier times,
6.839
Ilus, Assaracus, and Dardanus,
6.840
Illustrious builders of the Trojan town.
6.841
Their arms and shadowy chariots he views,
6.842
And lances fixed in earth, while through the fields
6.843
Their steeds without a bridle graze at will.
6.844
For if in life their darling passion ran
6.845
To chariots, arms, or glossy-coated steeds,
6.846
The self-same joy, though in their graves, they feel.
6.847
Lo! on the left and right at feast reclined
6.848
Are other blessed souls, whose chorus sings
6.849
Victorious paeans on the fragrant air
6.850
of laurel groves; and hence to earth outpours
6.851
Eridanus, through forests rolling free.
6.852
Here dwell the brave who for their native land
6.853
Fell wounded on the field; here holy priests
6.854
Who kept them undefiled their mortal day;
6.855
And poets, of whom the true-inspired song ' "
6.856
Deserved Apollo's name; and all who found " "
6.857
New arts, to make man's life more blest or fair; " 6.858 Yea! here dwell all those dead whose deeds bequeath
6.859
Deserved and grateful memory to their kind.
6.860
And each bright brow a snow-white fillet wears.
6.861
Unto this host the Sibyl turned, and hailed
6.862
Musaeus, midmost of a numerous throng, ' "
6.863
Who towered o'er his peers a shoulder higher: " 6.864 “0 spirits blest! 0 venerable bard!
6.865
Declare what dwelling or what region holds
6.866
Anchises, for whose sake we twain essayed
6.867
Yon passage over the wide streams of hell.”
6.868
And briefly thus the hero made reply:
6.869
“No fixed abode is ours. In shadowy groves
6.870
We make our home, or meadows fresh and fair,
6.871
With streams whose flowery banks our couches be.
6.872
But you, if thitherward your wishes turn,
6.873
Climb yonder hill, where I your path may show.”
6.874
So saying, he strode forth and led them on,
6.875
Till from that vantage they had prospect fair
6.876
of a wide, shining land; thence wending down,
6.877
They left the height they trod; for far below
6.878
Father Anchises in a pleasant vale
6.879
Stood pondering, while his eyes and thought surveyed
6.880
A host of prisoned spirits, who there abode
6.881
Awaiting entrance to terrestrial air.
6.882
And musing he reviewed the legions bright
6.883
of his own progeny and offspring proud—
6.884
Their fates and fortunes, virtues and great deeds.
6.885
Soon he discerned Aeneas drawing nigh ' "
6.886
o'er the green slope, and, lifting both his hands " 6.887 In eager welcome, spread them swiftly forth.
6.888
Tears from his eyelids rained, and thus he spoke:
6.889
“Art here at last? Hath thy well-proven love
6.890
of me thy sire achieved yon arduous way?
6.891
Will Heaven, beloved son, once more allow
6.892
That eye to eye we look? and shall I hear
6.893
Thy kindred accent mingling with my own?
6.894
I cherished long this hope. My prophet-soul
6.895
Numbered the lapse of days, nor did my thought ' "
6.896
Deceive. 0, o'er what lands and seas wast driven " 6.897 To this embrace! What perils manifold
6.898
Assailed thee, 0 my son, on every side!
6.899
How long I trembled, lest that Libyan throne
7.496
along the public ways; as oft one sees
9.625
like wailing over Rhamnes lifeless found, ' "
9.626
o'er Numa and Serranus, and a throng " 9.627 of princes dead. The gazing people pressed
9.628
around the slain, the dying, where the earth
9.629
ran red with slaughter and full many a stream
9.638
himself in glorious arms. Then every chief
9.639
awoke his mail-clad company, and stirred
9.641
Tumultuously shouting, they impaled
9.642
on lifted spears—O pitiable sight! —
9.643
the heads of Nisus and Euryalus. ' "
9.644
Th' undaunted Trojans stood in battle-line " 9.656 dropped web and shuttle; she flew shrieking forth, '
10.52
of Iris sped from heaven? Now she moves
12.435
this frantic stir, this quarrel rashly bold?
12.436
Recall your martial rage! The pledge is given ' "
12.437
and all its terms agreed. 'T is only I " 12.438 do lawful battle here. So let me forth,
12.439
and tremble not. My own hand shall confirm
12.440
the solemn treaty. For these rites consign ' None
