1.360 His commota fugam Dido sociosque parabat:
1.361 conveniunt, quibus aut odium crudele tyranni
1.362 aut metus acer erat; navis, quae forte paratae,
1.363 corripiunt, onerantque auro: portantur avari
1.364 Pygmalionis opes pelago; dux femina facti.
4.227 Non illum nobis genetrix pulcherrima talem
4.228 promisit, Graiumque ideo bis vindicat armis;
4.229 sed fore, qui gravidam imperiis belloque frementem
4.230 Italiam regeret, genus alto a sanguine Teucri
4.231 proderet, ac totum sub leges mitteret orbem.
4.232 Si nulla accendit tantarum gloria rerum,
4.233 nec super ipse sua molitur laude laborem,
4.234 Ascanione pater Romanas invidet arces?
4.235 Quid struit, aut qua spe inimica in gente moratur,
4.568 si te his attigerit terris Aurora morantem.
4.569 Heia age, rumpe moras. Varium et mutabile semper
5.407 magimusque Anchisiades et pondus et ipsa

6.695 Ille autem: Tua me, genitor, tua tristis imago,
6.696 saepius occurrens, haec limina tendere adegit:
6.756 Nunc age, Dardaniam prolem quae deinde sequatur
6.757 gloria, qui maneant Itala de gente nepotes,
6.758 inlustris animas nostrumque in nomen ituras,
6.759 expediam dictis, et te tua fata docebo.
6.760 Ille, vides, pura iuvenis qui nititur hasta,

6.766 unde genus Longa nostrum dominabitur Alba.

6.768 et Capys, et Numitor, et qui te nomine reddet
6.769 Silvius Aeneas, pariter pietate vel armis
6.770 egregius, si umquam regdam acceperit Albam.
6.771 Qui iuvenes! Quantas ostentant, aspice, vires,
6.772 atque umbrata gerunt civili tempora quercu!
6.773 Hi tibi Nomentum et Gabios urbemque Fidenam,
6.774 hi Collatinas imponent montibus arces,
6.775 Pometios Castrumque Inui Bolamque Coramque.

6.777 Quin et avo comitem sese Mavortius addet
6.778 Romulus, Assaraci quem sanguinis Ilia mater
6.779 educet. Viden, ut geminae stant vertice cristae,

6.783 septemque una sibi muro circumdabit arces,
6.784 felix prole virum: qualis Berecyntia mater
6.785 invehitur curru Phrygias turrita per urbes,
6.786 laeta deum partu, centum complexa nepotes,
6.787 omnes caelicolas, omnes supera alta tenentes.
6.788 Huc geminas nunc flecte acies, hanc aspice gentem
6.789 Romanosque tuos. Hic Caesar et omnis Iuli

6.793 saecula qui rursus Latio regnata per arva
6.794 Saturno quondam, super et Garamantas et Indos
6.795 proferet imperium: iacet extra sidera tellus,
6.796 extra anni solisque vias, ubi caelifer Atlas
6.797 axem umero torquet stellis ardentibus aptum.
6.798 Huius in adventum iam nunc et Caspia regna

6.812 missus in imperium magnum. Cui deinde subibit,
6.813 otia qui rumpet patriae residesque movebit
6.814 Tullus in arma viros et iam desueta triumphis
6.815 agmina. Quem iuxta sequitur iactantior Ancus,

6.821 ad poenam pulchra pro libertate vocabit.
6.822 Infelix, utcumque ferent ea facta minores,
6.823 vincet amor patriae laudumque immensa cupido.
6.824 Quin Decios Drusosque procul saevumque securi
6.825 aspice Torquatum et referentem signa Camillum.
6.826 Illae autem, paribus quas fulgere cernis in armis,
6.827 concordes animae nunc et dum nocte premuntur,

6.850 describent radio, et surgentia sidera dicent:
6.851 tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento;
6.852 hae tibi erunt artes; pacisque imponere morem,
6.853 parcere subiectis, et debellare superbos.
6.854 Sic pater Anchises, atque haec mirantibus addit:
6.855 Aspice, ut insignis spoliis Marcellus opimis
6.856 ingreditur, victorque viros supereminet omnes!
6.857 Hic rem Romanam, magno turbante tumultu,
6.858 sistet, eques sternet Poenos Gallumque rebellem,
6.859 tertiaque arma patri suspendet capta Quirino.
6.860 Atque hic Aeneas; una namque ire videbat
6.861 egregium forma iuvenem et fulgentibus armis,
6.862 sed frons laeta parum, et deiecto lumina voltu:
6.863 Quis, pater, ille, virum qui sic comitatur euntem?
6.864 Filius, anne aliquis magna de stirpe nepotum?
6.865 Quis strepitus circa comitum! Quantum instar in ipso!
6.866 Sed nox atra caput tristi circumvolat umbra.
6.867 Tum pater Anchises, lacrimis ingressus obortis:
6.868 O gnate, ingentem luctum ne quaere tuorum;
6.869 ostendent terris hunc tantum fata, neque ultra
6.870 esse sinent. Nimium vobis Romana propago
6.871 visa potens, Superi, propria haec si dona fuissent.
6.872 Quantos ille virum magnam Mavortis ad urbem
6.873 campus aget gemitus, vel quae, Tiberine, videbis
6.874 funera, cum tumulum praeterlabere recentem!
6.875 Nec puer Iliaca quisquam de gente Latinos
6.876 in tantum spe tollet avos, nec Romula quondam
6.877 ullo se tantum tellus iactabit alumno.
6.878 Heu pietas, heu prisca fides, invictaque bello
6.879 dextera! Non illi se quisquam impune tulisset
6.880 obvius armato, seu cum pedes iret in hostem,
6.881 seu spumantis equi foderet calcaribus armos.
6.882 Heu, miserande puer, si qua fata aspera rumpas,
6.883 tu Marcellus eris. Manibus date lilia plenis,
6.884 purpureos spargam flores, animamque nepotis
6.885 his saltem adcumulem donis, et fungar ii
6.886 munere—Sic tota passim regione vagantur
6.887 aëris in campis latis, atque omnia lustrant.
6.888 Quae postquam Anchises natum per singula duxit,
6.889 incenditque animum famae venientis amore,
6.890 exin bella viro memorat quae deinde gerenda,
6.891 Laurentisque docet populos urbemque Latini,
6.892 et quo quemque modo fugiatque feratque laborem.
6.893 Sunt geminae Somni portae, quarum altera fertur
6.894 cornea, qua veris facilis datur exitus umbris;
6.895 altera candenti perfecta nitens elephanto,
6.896 sed falsa ad caelum mittunt insomnia Manes.
6.897 His ubi tum natum Anchises unaque Sibyllam
6.898 prosequitur dictis, portaque emittit eburna,
6.899 ille viam secat ad naves sociosque revisit:
7.496 Ipse etiam, eximiae laudis succensus amore,
9.625 Iuppiter omnipotens, audacibus adnue coeptis.' 9.638 Aetheria tum forte plaga crinitus Apollo
9.639 desuper Ausonias acies urbemque videbat,
9.641 Macte nova virtute, puer: sic itur ad astra,10.52 Idaliaeque domus: positis inglorius armis
12.435 Disce, puer, virtutem ex me verumque laborem,
12.436 fortunam ex aliis. Nunc te mea dextera bello
12.437 defensum dabit et magna inter praemia ducet.
12.438 Tu facito, mox cum matura adoleverit aetas,
12.439 sis memor, et te animo repetentem exempla tuorum

1.360 and, quell its nations wild; his city-wall
1.361 and sacred laws shall be a mighty bond
1.362 about his gathered people. Summers three
1.363 hall Latium call him king; and three times pass ' "
1.364 the winter o'er Rutulia's vanquished hills. " 4.227 Meanwhile low thunders in the distant sky
4.228 mutter confusedly; soon bursts in full
4.229 the storm-cloud and the hail. The Tyrian troop
4.230 is scattered wide; the chivalry of Troy, ' "
4.231 with the young heir of Dardan's kingly line, " 4.232 of Venus sprung, seek shelter where they may,
4.233 with sudden terror; down the deep ravines
4.234 the swollen torrents roar. In that same hour
4.235 Queen Dido and her hero out of Troy ' "
4.568 runs o'er the levels, and conveys the spoil " 4.569 in narrow pathway through the grass; a part
5.407 bright-tipped with burnished steel, and battle-axe
6.348 Ye gods! who rule the spirits of the dead!
6.695 On her ethereal road. The princely pair
6.696 Had wasted thus the whole brief gift of hours; ' "
6.756 And Jove's own fire. In chariot of four steeds, " 6.757 Brandishing torches, he triumphant rode ' "
6.758 Through throngs of Greeks, o'er Elis ' sacred way, " 6.759 Demanding worship as a god. 0 fool! ' "
6.760 To mock the storm's inimitable flash— " 6.761 With crash of hoofs and roll of brazen wheel!
6.762 But mightiest Jove from rampart of thick cloud
6.763 Hurled his own shaft, no flickering, mortal flame,
6.764 And in vast whirl of tempest laid him low.
6.765 Next unto these, on Tityos I looked,
6.766 Child of old Earth, whose womb all creatures bears: ' "
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?
