1.461. Proxima prospiciet Tithono Aurora relicto 1.462. Arcadiae sacrum pontificale deae, 1.463. te quoque lux eadem, Turni soror, aede recepit, 1.464. hic ubi Virginea Campus obitur aqua. 1.465. unde petam causas horum moremque sacrorum? 1.466. diriget in medio quis mea vela freto? 1.467. ipsa mone, quae nomen habes a carmine ductum, 1.468. propositoque fave, ne tuus erret honor, 1.469. orta prior luna (de se si creditur ipsi) 1.470. a magno tellus Arcade nomen habet. 1.471. hic fuit Evander, qui, quamquam clarus utroque, 1.472. nobilior sacrae sanguine matris erat; 1.473. quae simul aetherios animo conceperat ignes, 1.474. ore dabat pleno carmina vera dei. 1.475. dixerat haec nato motus instare sibique, 1.476. multaque praeterea tempore nacta fidem. 1.477. nam iuvenis nimium vera cum matre fugatus 1.478. deserit Arcadiam Parrhasiumque larem, 1.479. cui genetrix flenti fortuna viriliter inquit 1.480. ‘(siste, precor, lacrimas) ista ferenda tibi est. 1.481. sic erat in fatis; nec te tua culpa fugavit, 1.482. sed deus; offenso pulsus es urbe deo. 1.483. non meriti poenam pateris, sed numinis iram: 1.484. est aliquid magnis crimen abesse malis. 1.485. conscia mens ut cuique sua est, ita concipit intra 1.486. pectora pro facto spemque metumque suo. 1.487. nec tamen ut primus maere mala talia passus: 1.488. obruit ingentes ista procella viros, 1.489. passus idem est, Tyriis qui quondam pulsus ab oris 1.490. Cadmus in Aonia constitit exul humo: 1.491. passus idem Tydeus et idem Pagasaeus Iason, 1.492. et quos praeterea longa referre mora est. 1.493. omne solum forti patria est, ut piscibus aequor, 1.494. ut volucri, vacuo quicquid in orbe patet. 1.495. nec fera tempestas toto tamen horret in anno: 1.496. et tibi (crede mihi) tempora veris erunt.’ 1.497. vocibus Evander firmata mente parentis 1.498. nave secat fluctus Hesperiarnque tenet, 1.499. iamque ratem doctae monitu Carmentis in amnem 1.500. egerat et Tuscis obvius ibat aquis: 1.501. fluminis illa latus, cui sunt vada iuncta Tarenti, 1.502. aspicit et sparsas per loca sola casas; 1.503. utque erat, immissis puppem stetit ante capillis 1.504. continuitque manum torva regentis iter, 1.505. et procul in dextram tendens sua bracchia ripam 1.506. pinea non sano ter pede texta ferit; 1.507. neve daret saltum properans insistere terrae, 1.508. vix est Evandri vixque retenta manu. 1.509. di que petitorum dixit ‘salve te locorum, 1.510. tuque novos caelo terra datura deos, 1.511. fluminaque et fontes, quibus utitur hospita tellus, 1.512. et nemorum nymphae naiadumque chori! 1.513. este bonis avibus visi natoque mihique, 1.514. ripaque felici tacta sit ista pede! 1.515. fallor, an hi fient ingentia moenia colles, 1.516. iuraque ab hac terra cetera terra petet? 1.517. montibus his olim totus promittitur orbis: 1.518. quis tantum fati credat habere locum? 1.519. et iam Dardaniae tangent haec litora pinus: 1.520. hic quoque causa novi femina Martis erit. 1.521. care nepos, Palla, funesta quid induis arma? 1.522. indue! non humili vindice caesus eris. 1.523. victa tamen vinces eversaque, Troia, resurges: 1.524. obruet hostiles ista ruina domos. 1.525. urite victrices Neptunia Pergama flammae! 1.526. num minus hic toto est altior orbe cinis? 1.527. iam pius Aeneas sacra et, sacra altera, patrem 1.528. adferet: Iliacos accipe, Vesta, deos! 1.529. tempus erit, cum vos orbemque tuebitur idem, 1.530. et fient ipso sacra colente deo, 1.531. et penes Angustos patriae tutela manebit: 1.532. hanc fas imperii frena tenere domum, 1.533. inde nepos natusque dei, licet ipse recuset, 1.534. pondera caelesti mente paterna feret; 1.535. utque ego perpetuis olim sacrabor in aris, 1.536. sic Augusta novum Iulia numen erit.’ 1.537. talibus ut dictis nostros descendit in annos, 1.538. substitit in medios praescia lingua sonos, 1.539. puppibus egressus Latia stetit exul in herba, 1.540. felix, exilium cui locus ille fuit! 1.541. nec mora longa fuit: stabant nova tecta, neque alter 1.542. montibus Ausoniis Arcade maior erat. 1.543. ecce boves illuc Erytheidas applicat heros 1.544. emensus longi claviger orbis iter; 1.545. dumque huic hospitium domus est Tegeaea, vagantur 1.546. incustoditae lata per arva boves, 1.547. mane erat: excussus somno Tirynthius actor 1.548. de numero tauros sentit abesse duos. 1.549. nulla videt quaerens taciti vestigia furti: 1.550. traxerat aversos Cacus in antra ferox, 1.551. Cacus, Aventinae timor atque infamia silvae, 1.552. non leve finitimis hospitibusque malum, 1.553. dira viro facies, vires pro corpore, corpus 1.554. grande: pater monstri Mulciber huius erat: 1.555. proque domo longis spelunca recessibus ingens, 1.556. abdita, vix ipsis invenienda feris, 1.557. ora super postes adfixaque brachia pendent, 1.558. squalidaque humanis ossibus albet humus, 1.559. servata male parte boum Iove natus abibat: 1.560. mugitum rauco furta dedere sono. 1.561. accipio revocamen ait, vocemque secutus 1.562. impia per silvas ultor ad antra venit, 1.563. ille aditum fracti praestruxerat obice montis; 1.564. vix iuga movissent quinque bis illud opus. 1.565. nititur hic numeris (caelum quoque sederat illis) 1.566. et vastum motu conlabefactat onus. 1.567. quod simul eversum est, fragor aethera terruit ipsum. 1.568. ictaque subsedit pondere molis humus, 1.569. prima movet Cacus collata proelia dextra 1.570. remque ferox saxis stipitibusque gerit. 1.571. quis ubi nil agitur, patrias male fortis ad artes 1.572. confugit et flammas ore sote vomit; 1.573. quas quotiens proflat, spirare Typhoea credas 1.574. et rapidum Aetnaeo fulgur ab igne iaci. 1.575. occupat Alcides, adductaque clava trinodis 1.576. ter quater adverso sedit in ore viri. 1.577. ille cadit mixtosque vomit cum sanguine fumos 1.578. et lato moriens pectore plangit humum, 1.579. immolat ex illis taurum tibi, Iuppiter, unum 1.580. victor et Evandrum ruricolasque vocat, 1.581. constituitque sibi, quae Maxima dicitur, aram, 1.582. hic ubi pars urbis de bove nomen habet, 1.583. nec tacet Evandri mater prope tempus adesse, 1.584.

1.617. Respiciet Titan actas ubi tertius Idus, 1.618. fient Parrhasiae sacra relata deae. 1.619. Nam prius Ausonias matres carpenta vehebant 1.620. (haec quoque ab Evandri dicta parente reor); 1.621. mox honor eripitur, matronaque destinat omnis 1.622. ingratos nulla prole novare viros, 1.623. neve daret partus, ictu temeraria caeco 1.624. visceribus crescens excutiebat onus. 1.625. corripuisse patres ausas immitia nuptas, 1.626. ius tamen ereptum restituisse ferunt; 1.627. binaque nunc pariter Tegeaeae sacra parenti 1.628. pro pueris fieri virginibusque iubent, 1.629. scortea non illi fas est inferre sacello, 1.630. ne violent puros exanimata focos. 1.631. siquis amas veteres ritus, adsiste precanti: 1.632. nomina percipies non tibi nota prius. 1.633. Porrima placatur Postvertaque, sive sorores 1.634. sive fugae comites, Maenali diva, tuae: 1.635. altera, quod porro fuerat, cecinisse putatur, 1.636. altera, venturum postmodo quicquid erat. 16. HC''. None | 1.461. Quitting his couch, Tithonus’ bride will witne 1.462. The high priest’s rite of Arcadian Carmentis. 1.463. The same light received you too, Juturna, Turnus’ sister, 1.464. There where the Aqua Virgo circles the Campus. 1.465. Where shall I find the cause and nature of these rites? 1.466. Who will steer my vessel in mid-ocean? 1.467. Advise me, Carmentis, you who take your name from song, 1.468. And favour my intent, lest I fail to honour you. 1.469. Arcadia, that’s older than the moon (if we believe it), 1.470. Takes its name from great Arcas, Callisto’s son. 1.471. From there came Evander, though of noble lineage on both side 1.472. Nobler through the blood of Carmentis, his sacred mother: 1.473. She, as soon as her spirit absorbed the heavenly fire, 1.474. Spoke true prophecies, filled with the god. 1.475. She had foretold trouble for her son and herself, 1.476. And many other things that time proved valid. 1.477. The mother’s words proved only too true, when the youth 1.478. Banished with her, fled Arcady and his Parrhasian home. 1.479. While he wept, his mother said: ‘Your fortune must 1.480. Be borne like a man (I beg you, check your tears). 1.481. It was fated so: it is no fault of yours that exiles you, 1.482. But a god: an offended god expelled you from the city. 1.483. You’re not suffering rightful punishment, but divine anger: 1.484. It is something in great misfortune to be free of guilt. 1.485. As each man’s conscience is, so it harbour 1.486. Hope or fear in his heart, according to his actions. 1.487. Don’t mourn these ills as if you were first to endure them: 1.488. Such storms have overwhelmed the mightiest people. 1.489. Cadmus endured the same, driven from the shores of Tyre, 1.490. Remaining an exile on Boeotian soil. 1.491. Tydeus endured the same, and Pagasean Jason, 1.492. And others whom it would take too long to speak of. 1.493. To the brave every land is their country, as the sea 1.494. To fish, or every empty space on earth to the birds. 1.495. Wild storms never rage the whole year long, 1.496. And spring will yet come to you (believe me).’ 1.497. Encouraged by his mother’s words, Evander 1.498. Sailed the waves and reached Hesperian lands. 1.499. Then, advised by wise Carmentis, he steered 1.500. His boat into a river, and stemmed the Tuscan stream. 1.501. She examined the river bank, bordered by Tarentum’s shallows, 1.502. And the huts scattered over the desolate spaces: 1.503. And stood, as she was, with streaming hair, at the stern, 1.504. And fiercely stopped the steersman’s hand: 1.505. Then stretching out her arm to the right bank, 1.506. She stamped three times, wildly, on the pine deck: 1.507. Evander barely held her back with his hand, 1.508. Barely stopped her leaping swiftly to land. 1.509. ‘Hail, you gods of the land we sought’ she cried, 1.510. ‘And you the place that will give heaven new gods, 1.511. And you nymphs of the grove, and crowds of Naiads! 1.512. May the sight of you be a good omen for me and my son, 1.513. And happy be the foot that touches that shore! 1.514. Am I wrong, or will those hills raise mighty walls, 1.515. And from this earth all the earth receive its laws? 1.516. The whole world is one day promised to these hills: 1.517. Who could believe the place held such fate in store? 1.518. Soon Trojan ships will touch these shores, 1.519. And a woman, Lavinia, shall cause fresh war. 1.520. Pallas, dear grandson, why put on that fatal armour? 1.521. Put it on! No mean champion will avenge you. 1.522. Conquered Troy you will conquer, and rise from your fall, 1.523. Your very ruin overwhelms your enemy’s houses. 1.524. Conquering flames consume Neptune’s Ilium! 1.525. Will that prevent its ashes rising higher than the world? 1.526. Soon pious Aeneas will bring the sacred Penates, and hi 1.527. Sacred father here: Vesta, receive the gods of Troy! 1.528. In time the same hand will guard the world and you, 1.529. And a god in person will hold the sacred rites. 1.530. The safety of the country will lie with Augustus’ house: 1.531. It’s decreed this family will hold the reins of empire. 1.532. So Caesar’s son, Augustus, and grandson, Tiberius, 1.533. Divine minds, will, despite his refusal, rule the country: 1.534. And as I myself will be hallowed at eternal altars, 1.535. So Livia shall be a new divinity, Julia Augusta.’ 1.536. When she had brought her tale to our own times, 1.537. Her prescient tongue halted in mid-speech. 1.538. Landing from the ships, Evander the exile stood 1.539. On Latian turf, happy for that to be his place of exile! 1.540. After a short time new houses were built, 1.541. And no Italian hill surpassed the Palatine. 1.542. See, Hercules drives the Erythean cattle here: 1.543. Travelling a long track through the world: 1.544. And while he is entertained in the Tegean house, 1.545. The untended cattle wander the wide acres. 1.546. It was morning: woken from his sleep the Tyrinthian 1.547. Saw that two bulls were missing from the herd. 1.548. Seeking, he found no trace of the silently stolen beasts: 1.549. Fierce Cacus had dragged them backwards into his cave, 1.550. Cacus the infamous terror of the Aventine woods, 1.551. No slight evil to neighbours and travellers. 1.552. His aspect was grim, his body huge, with strength 1.553. To match: the monster’s father was Mulciber. 1.554. He housed in a vast cavern with deep recesses, 1.555. So hidden the wild creatures could barely find it. 1.556. Over the entrance hung human arms and skulls, 1.557. And the ground bristled with whitened bones. 1.558. Jupiter’s son was leaving, that part of his herd lost, 1.559. When the stolen cattle lowed loudly. 1.560. ‘I am recalled” he said, and following the sound, 1.561. As avenger, came through the woods to the evil cave, 1.562. Cacus had blocked the entrance with a piece of the hill: 1.563. Ten yoked oxen could scarcely have moved it. 1.564. Hercules leant with his shoulders, on which the world had rested, 1.565. And loosened that vast bulk with the pressure. 1.566. A crash that troubled the air followed its toppling, 1.567. And the ground subsided under the falling weight. 1.568. Cacus at first fought hand to hand, and waged war, 1.569. Ferociously, with logs and boulders. 1.570. When that failed, beaten, he tried his father’s trick 1.571. And vomited roaring flames from his mouth: 1.572. You’d think Typhoeus breathed at every blast, 1.573. And sudden flares were hurled from Etna’s fires. 1.574. Hercules anticipated him, raised his triple-knotted club, 1.575. And swung it three, then four times, in his adversary’s face. 1.576. Cacus fell, vomiting smoke mingled with blood, 1.577. And beat at the ground, in dying, with his chest. 1.578. The victor offered one of the bulls to you, Jupiter, 1.579. And invited Evander and his countrymen to the feast, 1.580. And himself set up an altar, called Maxima, the Mightiest, 1.581. Where that part of the city takes its name from an ox. 1.582. Evander’s mother did not hide that the time was near 1.583. When earth would be done with its hero, Hercules. 1.584. But the felicitous prophetess, as she lived beloved of the gods, 1.585. Now a goddess herself, has this day of Janus’ month as hers. 1.586. On the Ides, in Jove’s temple, the chaste priest (the Flamen Dialis)
1.617. The rites of Carmenta, the Parrhasian goddess, are repeated. 1.618. Formerly the Ausonian mothers drove in carriages (carpenta) 1.619. (These I think were named after Evander’s mother). 1.620. The honour was later taken from them, so every woman 1.621. Vowed not to renew their ungrateful husband’s line, 1.622. And to avoid giving birth, unwisely, she expelled 1.623. Her womb’s growing burden, using unpredictable force. 1.624. They say the senate reproved the wives for their coldness, 1.625. But restored the right which had been taken from them: 1.626. And they ordered two like festivals for the Tegean mother, 1.627. To promote the birth of both boys and girls. 1.628. It is not lawful to take leather into her shrine, 1.629. Lest the pure hearths are defiled by sacrifice. 1.630. If you love ancient ritual, listen to the prayers, 1.631. And you’ll hear names you’ve never heard before. 1.632. They placate Porrima and Postverta, whether sisters, 1.633. Maenalian goddess, or companions in your exile: 1.634. The one thought to sing of what happened long ago (porro), 1.635. The other of what is to happen hereafter (venturum postmodo). 1.636. Radiant one, the next day places you in your snow-white shrine,''. None |

Nuntius Anchisae ad tumulum cuneosque theatri 5.665. incensas perfert naves Eumelus, et ipsi 5.666. respiciunt atram in nimbo volitare favillam. 5.667. Primus et Ascanius, cursus ut laetus equestres 5.668. ducebat, sic acer equo turbata petivit 5.669. castra, nec exanimes possunt retinere magistri. 5.670. Quis furor iste novus? Quo nunc, quo tenditis inquit, 5.671. heu, miserae cives? Non hostem inimicaque castra 5.672. Argivum, vestras spes uritis. En, ego vester 5.673. Ascanius! Galeam ante pedes proiecit iem, 5.674. qua ludo indutus belli simulacra ciebat; 5.675. accelerat simul Aeneas, simul agmina Teucrum. 5.676. Ast illae diversa metu per litora passim 5.677. diffugiunt, silvasque et sicubi concava furtim 5.678. saxa petunt; piget incepti lucisque, suosque 5.679. mutatae adgnoscunt, excussaque pectore Iuno est. 5.680. Sed non idcirco flammae atque incendia vires 5.681. indomitas posuere; udo sub robore vivit 5.682. stuppa vomens tardum fumum, lentusque carinas 5.683. est vapor, et toto descendit corpore pestis, 5.684. nec vires heroum infusaque flumina prosunt. 5.685. Tum pius Aeneas umeris abscindere vestem, 5.686. auxilioque vocare deos, et tendere palmas: 5.687. Iuppiter omnipotens, si nondum exosus ad unum 5.688. Troianos, si quid pietas antiqua labores 5.689. respicit humanos, da flammam evadere classi 5.690. nunc, Pater, et tenues Teucrum res eripe leto. 5.691. Vel tu, quod superest infesto fulmine morti, 5.692. si mereor, demitte, tuaque hic obrue dextra. 5.693. Vix haec ediderat, cum effusis imbribus atra 5.694. tempestas sine more furit, tonitruque tremescunt 5.695. ardua terrarum et campi; ruit aethere toto 5.696. turbidus imber aqua densisque nigerrimus austris; 5.697. implenturque super puppes; semiusta madescunt 5.698. robora; restinctus donec vapor omnis, et omnes, 5.699. quattuor amissis, servatae a peste carinae.
6.129. hoc opus, hic labor est. Pauci, quos aequus amavit
6.268. Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram,
6.384. Ergo iter inceptum peragunt fluvioque propinquant.
6.477. Inde datum molitur iter. Iamque arva tenebant
6.539. Nox ruit, Aenea; nos flendo ducimus horas.
6.642. Pars in gramineis exercent membra palaestris, 6.643. contendunt ludo et fulva luctantur harena; 6.644. pars pedibus plaudunt choreas et carmina dicunt.
6.673. Nulli certa domus; lucis habitamus opacis,
6.676. hoc superate iugum; et facili iam tramite sistam.
6.688. vicit iter durum pietas? Datur ora tueri,
6.703. Interea videt Aeneas in valle reducta
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, 6.761. proxuma sorte tenet lucis loca, primus ad auras 6.762. aetherias Italo commixtus sanguine surget, 6.763. silvius, Albanum nomen, tua postuma proles, 6.764. quem tibi longaevo serum Lavinia coniunx 6.765. educet silvis regem regumque parentem, 6.766. unde genus Longa nostrum dominabitur Alba. 6.767. Proxumus ille Procas, Troianae gloria gentis, 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. 6.776. Haec tum nomina erunt, nunc sunt sine nomine terrae. 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, 6.780. et pater ipse suo superum iam signat honore? 6.781. En, huius, nate, auspiciis illa incluta Roma 6.782. imperium terris, animos aequabit Olympo, 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 6.790. progenies magnum caeli ventura sub axem. 6.791. Hic vir, hic est, tibi quem promitti saepius audis, 6.792. Augustus Caesar, Divi genus, aurea condet 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 6.799. responsis horrent divom et Maeotia tellus, 6.800. et septemgemini turbant trepida ostia Nili. 6.801. Nec vero Alcides tantum telluris obivit, 6.802. fixerit aeripedem cervam licet, aut Erymanthi 6.803. pacarit nemora, et Lernam tremefecerit arcu; 6.804. nec, qui pampineis victor iuga flectit habenis, 6.805. Liber, agens celso Nysae de vertice tigres. 6.806. Et dubitamus adhuc virtute extendere vires, 6.807. aut metus Ausonia prohibet consistere terra? 6.809. sacra ferens? Nosco crines incanaque menta 6.810. regis Romani, primus qui legibus urbem 6.811. fundabit, Curibus parvis et paupere terra 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, 6.816. nunc quoque iam nimium gaudens popularibus auris. 6.817. Vis et Tarquinios reges, animamque superbam 6.818. ultoris Bruti, fascesque videre receptos?
6.820. accipiet, natosque pater nova bella moventes 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, 6.828. heu quantum inter se bellum, si lumina vitae 6.829. attigerint, quantas acies stragemque ciebunt! 6.830. Aggeribus socer Alpinis atque arce Monoeci 6.831. descendens, gener adversis instructus Eois. 6.832. Ne, pueri, ne tanta animis adsuescite bella, 6.833. neu patriae validas in viscera vertite vires; 6.834. tuque prior, tu parce, genus qui ducis Olympo, 6.835. proice tela manu, sanguis meus!— 6.836. Ille triumphata Capitolia ad alta Corintho 6.837. victor aget currum, caesis insignis Achivis. 6.838. Eruet ille Argos Agamemnoniasque Mycenas, 6.839. ipsumque Aeaciden, genus armipotentis Achilli, 6.840. ultus avos Troiae, templa et temerata Minervae. 6.841. Quis te, magne Cato, tacitum, aut te, Cosse, relinquat? 6.842. Quis Gracchi genus, aut geminos, duo fulmina belli, 6.843. Scipiadas, cladem Libyae, parvoque potentem 6.844. Fabricium vel te sulco Serrane, serentem? 6.845. quo fessum rapitis, Fabii? Tu Maxumus ille es, 6.846. unus qui nobis cunctando restituis rem. 6.847. Excudent alii spirantia mollius aera, 6.848. credo equidem, vivos ducent de marmore voltus, 6.849. orabunt causas melius, caelique meatus 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
7.362. perfidus alta petens abducta virgine praedo?
7.385. Quin etiam in silvas, simulato numine Bacchi, 7.386. maius adorta nefas maioremque orsa furorem 7.387. evolat et natam frondosis montibus abdit, 7.388. quo thalamum eripiat Teucris taedasque moretur, 7.389. Euhoe Bacche, fremens, solum te virgine dignum 7.390. vociferans, etenim mollis tibi sumere thyrsos, 7.391. te lustrare choro, sacrum tibi pascere crinem. 7.392. Fama volat, furiisque accensas pectore matres 7.393. idem omnis simul ardor agit nova quaerere tecta: 7.394. deseruere domos, ventis dant colla comasque, 7.395. ast aliae tremulis ululatibus aethera complent, 7.396. pampineasque gerunt incinctae pellibus hastas; 7.397. ipsa inter medias flagrantem fervida pinum 7.398. sustinet ac natae Turnique canit hymenaeos, 7.399. sanguineam torquens aciem, torvumque repente 7.400. clamat: Io matres, audite, ubi quaeque, Latinae:' '7.404. Talem inter silvas, inter deserta ferarum, 7.405. reginam Allecto stimulis agit undique Bacchi.
7.647. Primus init bellum Tyrrhenis asper ab oris 7.648. contemptor divom Mezentius agminaque armat. 7.649. Filius huic iuxta Lausus, quo pulchrior alter 7.650. non fuit excepto Laurentis corpore Turni, 7.651. Lausus, equum domitor debellatorque ferarum, 7.652. ducit Agyllina nequiquam ex urbe secutos 7.653. mille viros, dignus, patriis qui laetior esset 7.654. imperiis et cui pater haud Mezentius esset.
8.36. O sate gente deum, Troianam ex hostibus urbem 8.37. qui revehis nobis aeternaque Pergama servas, 8.38. exspectate solo Laurenti arvisque Latinis, 8.39. hic tibi certa domus, certi, ne absiste, penates; 8.40. neu belli terrere minis: tumor omnis et irae 8.41. concessere deum. 8.42. 8.86. Thybris ea fluvium, quam longa est, nocte tumentem 8.87. leniit, et tacita refluens ita substitit unda, 8.88. mitis ut in morem stagni placidaeque paludis 8.89. sterneret aequor aquis, remo ut luctamen abesset. 8.90. Ergo iter inceptum celerant rumore secundo; 8.92. miratur nemus insuetum fulgentia longe 8.93. scuta virum fluvio pictasque innare carinas. 8.94. Olli remigio noctemque diemque fatigant 8.95. et longos superant flexus variisque teguntur 8.96. arboribus viridisque secant placido aequore silvas.
8.99. tecta vident, quae nunc Romana potentia caelo
8.150. Accipe daque fidem: sunt nobis fortia bello 8.151. pectora, sunt animi et rebus spectata iuventus.
8.154. Tum sic pauca refert: Ut te, fortissime Teucrum, 8.155. accipio agnoscoque libens! Ut verba parentis 8.156. et vocem Anchisae magni voltumque recordor! 8.157. Nam memini Hesionae visentem regna sororis 8.158. Laomedontiaden Priamum, Salamina petentem, 8.159. protinus Arcadiae gelidos invisere finis. 8.160. Tum mihi prima genas vestibat flore iuventas, 8.161. mirabarque duces Teucros, mirabar et ipsum 8.162. Laomedontiaden, sed cunctis altior ibat 8.163. Anchises: mihi mens iuvenali ardebat amore 8.164. compellare virum et dextrae coniungere dextram. 8.165. Accessi et cupidus Phenei sub moenia duxi. 8.166. Ille mihi insignem pharetram Lyciasque sagittas 8.167. discedens chlamydemque auro dedit intertextam 8.168. frenaque bina meus quae nunc habet aurea Pallas. 8.169. Ergo et quam petitis iuncta est mihi foedere dextra, 8.170. et lux cum primum terris se crastina reddet, 8.171. auxilio laetos dimittam opibusque iuvabo. 8.173. annua, quae differre nefas, celebrate faventes 8.174. nobiscum et iam nunc sociorum adsuescite mensis.
8.198. Huic monstro Volcanus erat pater: illius atros
8.200. Attulit et nobis aliquando optantibus aetas 8.201. auxilium adventumque dei. Nam maximus ultor, 8.202. tergemini nece Geryonae spoliisque superbus 8.203. Alcides aderat taurosque hac victor agebat 8.204. ingentis, vallemque boves amnemque tenebant.
8.214. Amphytrioniades armenta abitumque pararet,
8.231. lustrat Aventini montem, ter saxea temptat
8.244. infernas reseret sedes et regna recludat 8.245. pallida, dis invisa, superque immane barathrum 8.246. cernatur, trepident inmisso lumine manes.
8.273. Quare agite, o iuvenes, tantarum in munere laudum 8.274. cingite fronde comas et pocula porgite dextris
8.307. perfectis referunt. Ibat rex obsitus aevo
8.314. Haec nemora indigenae fauni nymphaeque tenebant 8.315. gensque virum truncis et duro robore nata, 8.316. quis neque mos neque cultus erat, nec iungere tauros 8.317. aut componere opes norant aut parcere parto, 8.318. sed rami atque asper victu venatus alebat. 8.319. Primus ab aetherio venit Saturnus Olympo, 8.320. arma Iovis fugiens et regnis exsul ademptis. 8.321. Is genus indocile ac dispersum montibus altis 8.322. composuit legesque dedit Latiumque vocari 8.323. maluit, his quoniam latuisset tutis in oris. 8.324. Aurea quae perhibent illo sub rege fuere 8.325. saecula. Sic placida populos in pace regebat, 8.326. deterior donec paulatim ac decolor aetas 8.327. et belli rabies et amor successit habendi. 8.328. Tum manus Ausonia et gentes venere Sicanae, 8.329. saepius et nomen posuit Saturnia tellus; 8.330. tum reges asperque immani corpore Thybris, 8.331. a quo post Itali fluvium cognomine Thybrim 8.332. diximus, amisit verum vetus Albula nomen; 8.333. me pulsum patria pelagique extrema sequentem 8.334. Fortuna omnipotens et ineluctabile fatum 8.335. his posuere locis matrisque egere tremenda 8.336. Carmentis nymphae monita et deus auctor Apollo. 8.337. Vix ea dicta: dehinc progressus monstrat et aram 8.338. et Carmentalem Romani nomine portam 8.339. quam memorant, nymphae priscum Carmentis honorem, 8.340. vatis fatidicae, cecinit quae prima futuros 8.341. Aeneadas magnos et nobile Pallanteum. 8.342. Hinc lucum ingentem quem Romulus acer Asylum 8.343. rettulit et gelida monstrat sub rupe Lupercal, 8.344. Parrhasio dictum Panos de more Lycaei. 8.345. Nec non et sacri monstrat nemus Argileti 8.346. testaturque locum et letum docet hospitis Argi. 8.347. Hinc ad Tarpeiam sedem et Capitolia ducit, 8.348. aurea nunc, olim silvestribus horrida dumis. 8.349. Iam tum religio pavidos terrebat agrestis 8.350. dira loci, iam tum silvam saxumque tremebant. 8.351. Hoc nemus, hunc, inquit, frondoso vertice collem 8.352. (quis deus incertum est) habitat deus: Arcades ipsum 8.353. credunt se vidisse Iovem, cum saepe nigrantem 8.354. aegida concuteret dextra nimbosque cieret. 8.355. Haec duo praeterea disiectis oppida muris, 8.356. reliquias veterumque vides monimenta virorum. 8.357. Hanc Ianus pater, hanc Saturnus condidit arcem: 8.358. Ianiculum huic, illi fuerat Saturnia nomen. 8.359. Talibus inter se dictis ad tecta subibant
8.360. pauperis Euandri passimque armenta videbant
8.361. Romanoque foro et lautis mugire Carinis.
8.364. Aude, hospes, contemnere opes et te quoque dignum
8.365. finge deo rebusque veni non asper egenis.
8.470. Maxume Teucrorum ductor, quo sospite numquam 8.471. res equidem Troiae victas aut regna fatebor, 8.472. nobis ad belli auxilium pro nomine tanto 8.473. exiguae vires: hinc Tusco claudimur amni, 8.474. hinc Rutulus premit et murum circumsonat armis. 8.475. Sed tibi ego ingentis populos opulentaque regnis 8.476. iungere castra paro, quam fors inopina salutem 8.477. ostentat: fatis huc te poscentibus adfers. 8.478. Haud procul hinc saxo incolitur fundata vetusto 8.479. urbis Agyllinae sedes, ubi Lydia quondam 8.480. gens, bello praeclara, iugis insedit Etruscis. 8.481. Hanc multos florentem annos rex deinde superbo 8.482. imperio et saevis tenuit Mezentius armis. 8.483. Quid memorem infandas caedes, quid facta tyranni 8.484. effera? Di capiti ipsius generique reservent! 8.485. Mortua quin etiam iungebat corpora vivis 8.486. componens manibusque manus atque oribus ora, 8.487. tormenti genus, et sanie taboque fluentis 8.488. complexu in misero longa sic morte necabat. 8.489. at fessi tandem cives infanda furentem 8.490. armati circumsistunt ipsumque domumque, 8.491. obtruncant socios, ignem ad fastigia iactant. 8.492. Ille inter caedem Rutulorum elapsus in agros 8.493. confugere et Turni defendier hospitis armis. 8.494. Ergo omnis furiis surrexit Etruria iustis: 8.495. regem ad supplicium praesenti Marte reposcunt. 8.496. his ego te, Aenea, ductorem milibus addam. 8.497. Toto namque fremunt condensae litore puppes 8.498. Signaque ferre iubent; retinet longaevus haruspex 8.499. fata canens, O Maeoniae delecta iuventus, 8.500. flos veterum virtusque virum, quos iustus in hostem 8.501. fert dolor et merita accendit Mezentius ira, 8.502. nulli fas Italo tantam subiungere gentem: 8.503. externos optate duces; tum Etrusca resedit 8.504. hoc acies campo, monitis exterrita divom. 8.505. Ipse oratores ad me regnique coronam 8.506. cum sceptro misit mandatque insignia Tarchon, 8.507. succedam castris Tyrrhenaque regna capessam. 8.508. Sed mihi tarda gelu saeclisque effeta senectus 8.509. invidet imperium seraeque ad fortia vires. 8.510. natum exhortarer, ni mixtus matre Sabella 8.511. hinc partem patriae traheret. Tu, cuius et annis 8.512. et generi fatum indulgent, quem numina poscunt, 8.513. ingredere, o Teucrum atque Italum fortissime ductor. 8.514. hunc tibi praeterea, spes et solacia nostri, 8.515. Pallanta adiungam; sub te tolerare magistro 8.516. militiam et grave Martis opus, tua cernere facta 8.517. adsuescat primis et te miretur ab annis. 8.518. Arcadas huic equites bis centum, robora pubis 8.519. lecta dabo totidemque suo tibi nomine Pallas. 8.520. Vix ea fatus erat, defixique ora tenebant 8.521. Aeneas Anchisiades et fidus Achates 8.522. multaque dura suo tristi cum corde putabant, 8.523. ni signum caelo Cytherea dedisset aperto.
8.537. Heu quantae miseris caedes Laurentibus instant; 8.538. quas poenas mihi, Turne, dabis; quam multa sub undas 8.539. scuta virum galeasque et fortia corpora volves, 10.516. omnia sunt oculis, mensae, quas advena primas 10.517. tunc adiit, dextraeque datae. Sulmone creatos

Non haec Evandro de te promissa parenti 11.46. discedens dederam, cum me complexus euntem 11.47. mitteret in magnum imperium metuensque moneret 11.48. acris esse viros, cum dura proelia gente. 11.49.

Submit, for Heaven decrees!” With such wise words 5.608. he sundered the fell strife. But trusty friends 5.609. bore Dares off: his spent limbs helpless trailed, 5.610. his head he could not lift, and from his lips 5.611. came blood and broken teeth. So to the ship ' "5.612. they bore him, taking, at Aeneas' word, " '5.613. the helmet and the sword—but left behind ' "5.614. Entellus' prize of victory, the bull. " '5.615. He, then, elate and glorying, spoke forth: 5.616. “See, goddess-born, and all ye Teucrians, see, 5.617. what strength was mine in youth, and from what death 5.618. ye have clelivered Dares.” Saying so, 5.619. he turned him full front to the bull, who stood 5.620. for reward of the fight, and, drawing back 5.621. his right hand, poising the dread gauntlet high, 5.622. wung sheer between the horns and crushed the skull; 5.623. a trembling, lifeless creature, to the ground 5.624. the bull dropped forward dead. Above the fallen 5.625. Entellus cried aloud, “This victim due 5.626. I give thee, Eryx, more acceptable ' "5.627. than Dares' death to thy benigt shade. " '5.628. For this last victory and joyful day, 5.630. Forthwith Aeneas summons all who will 5.631. to contest of swift arrows, and displays 5.632. reward and prize. With mighty hand he rears ' "5.633. a mast within th' arena, from the ship " '5.634. of good Sergestus taken; and thereto 5.635. a fluttering dove by winding cord is bound 5.636. for target of their shafts. Soon to the match 5.637. the rival bowmen came and cast the lots 5.638. into a brazen helmet. First came forth ' "5.639. Hippocoon's number, son of Hyrtacus, " '5.640. by cheers applauded; Mnestheus was the next, 5.641. late victor in the ship-race, Mnestheus crowned 5.642. with olive-garland; next Eurytion, 5.643. brother of thee, O bowman most renowned, 5.644. Pandarus, breaker of the truce, who hurled 5.645. his shaft upon the Achaeans, at the word ' "5.646. the goddess gave. Acestes' Iot and name " '5.647. came from the helmet last, whose royal hand 5.648. the deeds of youth dared even yet to try. 5.649. Each then with strong arm bends his pliant bow, 5.650. each from the quiver plucks a chosen shaft. 5.651. First, with loud arrow whizzing from the string, 5.652. the young Hippocoon with skyward aim 5.653. cuts through the yielding air; and lo! his barb 5.654. pierces the very wood, and makes the mast 5.655. tremble; while with a fluttering, frighted wing 5.656. the bird tugs hard,—and plaudits fill the sky. 5.657. Boldly rose Mnestheus, and with bow full-drawn 5.658. aimed both his eye and shaft aloft; but he 5.659. failing, unhappy man, to bring his barb 5.660. up to the dove herself, just cut the cord 5.661. and broke the hempen bond, whereby her feet 5.662. were captive to the tree: she, taking flight, 5.663. clove through the shadowing clouds her path of air. 5.664. But swiftly—for upon his waiting bow 5.665. he held a shaft in rest—Eurytion ' "5.666. invoked his brother's shade, and, marking well " '5.667. the dove, whose happy pinions fluttered free 5.668. in vacant sky, pierced her, hard by a cloud; 5.669. lifeless she fell, and left in light of heaven 5.670. her spark of life, as, floating down, she bore 5.671. the arrow back to earth. Acestes now ' "5.672. remained, last rival, though the victor's palm " '5.673. to him was Iost; yet did the aged sire, 5.674. to show his prowess and resounding bow, 5.675. hurl forth one shaft in air; then suddenly 5.676. all eyes beheld such wonder as portends 5.677. events to be (but when fulfilment came, 5.678. too late the fearful seers its warning sung): 5.679. for, soaring through the stream of cloud, his shaft 5.680. took fire, tracing its bright path in flame, 5.681. then vanished on the wind,—as oft a star 5.682. will fall unfastened from the firmament, 5.683. while far behind its blazing tresses flow. 5.684. Awe-struck both Trojan and Trinacrian stood, 5.685. calling upon the gods. Nor came the sign 5.686. in vain to great Aeneas. But his arms 5.687. folded the blest Acestes to his heart, 5.688. and, Ioading him with noble gifts, he cried: 5.689. “Receive them, sire! The great Olympian King 5.690. ome peerless honor to thy name decrees 5.691. by such an omen given. I offer thee 5.692. this bowl with figures graven, which my sire, 5.693. good gray Anchises, for proud gift received ' "5.694. of Thracian Cisseus, for their friendship's pledge " '5.695. and memory evermore.” Thereon he crowned 5.696. his brows with garland of the laurel green, 5.697. and named Acestes victor over all. 5.698. Nor could Eurytion, noble youth, think ill 5.699. of honor which his own surpassed, though he,
6.129. Oh! yield not to thy woe, but front it ever,
6.268. In silent flight, and find a wished-for rest
6.384. These were but shapes and shadows sweeping by,
6.477. For thou hast power! Or if some path there be,
6.539. Came safe across the river, and were moored
6.642. of ears and nostrils infamously shorn. 6.643. Scarce could Aeneas know the shuddering shade 6.644. That strove to hide its face and shameful scar;
6.673. In that same hour on my sad couch I lay,
6.676. But my illustrious bride from all the house
6.688. But, friend, what fortunes have thy life befallen? ' "
6.703. To Tartarus th' accurst.” Deiphobus Deïphobus " "
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 " '
7.362. the famous kind which guileful Circe bred,
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 ' "
7.647. though deep the evening shade. Iulus' dogs " '7.648. now roused this wanderer in their ravening chase, 7.649. as, drifted down-stream far from home it lay, 7.650. on a green bank a-cooling. From bent bow ' "7.651. Ascanius, eager for a hunter's praise, " '7.652. let go his shaft; nor did Alecto fail 7.653. his aim to guide: but, whistling through the air, 7.654. the light-winged reed pierced deep in flank and side. ' "
8.36. all shapes of beast or bird, the wide world o'er, " '8.37. lay deep in slumber. So beneath the arch 8.38. of a cold sky Aeneas laid him down 8.39. upon the river-bank, his heart sore tried ' "8.40. by so much war and sorrow, and gave o'er " '8.41. his body to its Iong-delayed repose. ' "8.42. There, 'twixt the poplars by the gentle stream, " '8.43. the River-Father, genius of that place, 8.44. old Tiberinus visibly uprose; 8.45. a cloak of gray-green lawn he wore, his hair ' "8.46. o'erhung with wreath of reeds. In soothing words " '8.48. “Seed of the gods! who bringest to my shore 8.49. thy Trojan city wrested from her foe, ' "8.50. a stronghold everlasting, Latium 's plain " '8.51. and fair Laurentum long have looked for thee. 8.52. Here truly is thy home. Turn not away. 8.53. Here the true guardians of thy hearth shall be. 8.54. Fear not the gathering war. The wrath of Heaven 8.55. has stilled its swollen wave. A sign I tell: 8.56. Lest thou shouldst deem this message of thy sleep 8.57. a vain, deluding dream, thou soon shalt find 8.58. in the oak-copses on my margent green, 8.59. a huge sow, with her newly-littered brood 8.60. of thirty young; along the ground she lies, 8.61. now-white, and round her udders her white young. 8.62. There shall thy city stand, and there thy toil 8.63. hall find untroubled rest. After the lapse 8.64. of thrice ten rolling years, Ascanius 8.65. hall found a city there of noble name,
8.86. in time to come. I am the copious flood 8.87. which thou beholdest chafing at yon shores 8.88. and parting fruitful fields: cerulean stream 8.89. of Tiber, favored greatly of high Heaven. 8.90. here shall arise my house magnificent, 8.92. So spake the river-god, and sank from view 8.93. down to his deepest cave; then night and sleep 8.94. together from Aeneas fled away. 8.95. He rose, and to the orient beams of morn 8.96. his forehead gave; in both his hollowed palms
8.99. whence flowing rills be born, and chiefly thou,
8.150. the sudden sight alarmed, and all the throng 8.151. prang to its feet and left the feast divine.
8.154. flew forward to a bit of rising ground, 8.155. and cried from far: “Hail, warriors! what cause 8.156. drives you to lands unknown, and whither bound? 8.157. Your kin, your country? Bring ye peace or war?” 8.158. Father Aeneas then held forth a bough 8.159. of peaceful olive from the lofty ship, 8.160. thus answering : “Men Trojan-born are we, 8.161. foes of the Latins, who have driven us forth 8.162. with insolent assault. We fain would see 8.163. Evander. Pray, deliver this, and say 8.164. that chosen princes of Dardania 8.165. ue for his help in arms.” So wonder fell 8.166. on Pallas, awestruck at such mighty name. ' "8.167. O, come, whoe'er thou art,” he said, “and speak " '8.168. in presence of my father. Enter here, 8.169. guest of our hearth and altar.” He put forth 8.170. his right hand in true welcome, and they stood 8.171. with lingering clasp; then hand in hand advanced 8.173. Aeneas to Evander speaking fair, 8.174. these words essayed: “O best of Grecian-born!
8.198. risking my person and my life, have come
8.200. the house of Daunus hurls insulting war. 8.201. If us they quell, they doubt not to obtain 8.202. lordship of all Hesperia, and subdue 8.203. alike the northern and the southern sea. 8.204. Accept good faith, and give! Behold, our hearts
8.214. For I remember Priam, when he came
8.231. here clasps in loyal amity with thine. ' "
8.244. Then high-born pages, with the altar's priest, " '8.245. bring on the roasted beeves and load the board 8.246. with baskets of fine bread; and wine they bring —
8.273. divine avenger, came from laying low 8.274. three-bodied Geryon, whose spoils he wore
8.307. gnashing his teeth. Three times his ire surveyed
8.314. fit haunt for birds of evil-boding wing. 8.315. This peak, which leftward toward the river leaned, 8.316. he smote upon its right—his utmost blow — 8.317. breaking its bases Ioose; then suddenly 8.318. thrust at it: as he thrust, the thunder-sound ' "8.319. filled all the arching sky, the river's banks " '8.320. asunder leaped, and Tiber in alarm ' "8.321. reversed his flowing wave. So Cacus' lair " '8.322. lay shelterless, and naked to the day 8.323. the gloomy caverns of his vast abode 8.324. tood open, deeply yawning, just as if 8.325. the riven earth should crack, and open wide ' "8.326. th' infernal world and fearful kingdoms pale, " '8.327. which gods abhor; and to the realms on high 8.328. the measureless abyss should be laid bare, 8.329. and pale ghosts shrink before the entering sun. 8.330. Now upon Cacus, startled by the glare, 8.331. caged in the rocks and howling horribly, 8.332. Alcides hurled his weapons, raining down 8.333. all sorts of deadly missiles—trunks of trees, 8.334. and monstrous boulders from the mountain torn. 8.335. But when the giant from his mortal strait 8.336. no refuge knew, he blew from his foul jaws 8.337. a storm of smoke—incredible to tell — 8.338. and with thick darkness blinding every eye, 8.339. concealed his cave, uprolling from below 8.340. one pitch-black night of mingled gloom and fire. 8.341. This would Alcides not endure, but leaped 8.342. headlong across the flames, where densest hung 8.343. the rolling smoke, and through the cavern surged 8.344. a drifting and impenetrable cloud. 8.345. With Cacus, who breathed unavailing flame, 8.346. he grappled in the dark, locked limb with limb, ' "8.347. and strangled him, till o'er the bloodless throat " '8.348. the starting eyeballs stared. Then Hercules 8.349. burst wide the doorway of the sooty den, 8.350. and unto Heaven and all the people showed ' "8.351. the stolen cattle and the robber's crimes, " '8.352. and dragged forth by the feet the shapeless corpse 8.353. of the foul monster slain. The people gazed 8.354. insatiate on the grewsome eyes, the breast 8.355. of bristling shag, the face both beast and man, 8.356. and that fire-blasted throat whence breathed no more ' "8.357. the extinguished flame. 'T is since that famous day " '8.358. we celebrate this feast, and glad of heart 8.359. each generation keeps the holy time.
8.360. Potitius began the worship due,
8.361. and our Pinarian house is vowed to guard
8.364. and Ara Maxima its name shall be.
8.365. Come now, my warriors, and bind your brows ' "
8.470. jove's dread right hand here visibly appears " '8.471. to shake his aegis in the darkening storm, 8.472. the clouds compelling. Yonder rise in view 8.473. two strongholds with dismantled walls, which now 8.474. are but a memory of great heroes gone: 8.475. one father Janus built, and Saturn one; 8.476. their names, Saturnia and Janiculum.” ' "8.477. 'Mid such good parley to the house they came " '8.478. of King Evander, unadorned and plain, 8.479. whence herds of browsing cattle could be seen 8.480. ranging the Forum, and loud-bellowing 8.481. in proud Carinae. As they entered there, 8.482. “Behold,” said he, “the threshold that received 8.483. Alcides in his triumph! This abode 8.484. he made his own. Dare, O illustrious guest, 8.485. to scorn the pomp of power. Shape thy soul ' "8.486. to be a god's fit follower. Enter here, " '8.487. and free from pride our frugal welcome share.” ' "8.488. So saying, 'neath his roof-tree scant and low " '8.489. he led the great Aeneas, offering him 8.490. a couch of leaves with Libyan bear-skin spread. 8.491. Now night drew near, enfolding the wide world 8.492. in shadowy wings. But Venus, sore disturbed, 8.493. vexed not unwisely her maternal breast, ' "8.494. fearing Laurentum's menace and wild stir " '8.495. of obstinate revolt, and made her plea 8.496. to Vulcan in their nuptial bower of gold, 8.497. outbreathing in the music of her words 8.498. celestial love: “When warring Argive kings ' "8.499. brought ruin on Troy 's sacred citadel " '8.500. and ramparts soon to sink in hostile flames, 8.501. I asked not thee to help that hopeless woe, 8.502. nor craved thy craft and power. For, dearest lord, 8.503. I would not tax in vain shine arduous toil, ' "8.504. though much to Priam's children I was bound, " '8.505. and oft to see Aeneas burdened sore 8.506. I could but weep. But now by will of Jove 8.507. he has found foothold in Rutulian lands. 8.508. Therefore I come at last with lowly suit 8.509. before a godhead I adore, and pray 8.510. for gift of arms,—a mother for her son. 8.511. Thou wert not unrelenting to the tears ' "8.512. of Nereus' daughter or Tithonus' bride. " '8.513. Behold what tribes conspire, what cities strong 8.514. behind barred gates now make the falchion keen 8.515. to ruin and blot out both me and mine!” 8.516. So spake the goddess, as her arms of snow 8.517. around her hesitating spouse she threw 8.518. in tender, close embrace. He suddenly ' "8.519. knew the familiar fire, and o'er his frame " '8.520. its wonted ardor unresisted ran, 8.521. wift as the glittering shaft of thunder cleaves 8.522. the darkened air and on from cloud to cloud 8.523. the rift of lightning runs. She, joyful wife;
8.537. I offer thee. No more in anxious prayer ' "8.538. distrust thy beauty's power.” So saying, he gave " '8.539. embrace of mutual desire, and found 10.516. First in his path was Lagus, thither led 10.517. by evil stars; whom, as he tried to lift
11.42. his darling child. Around him is a throng 11.43. of slaves, with all the Trojan multitude, 11.44. and Ilian women, who the wonted way ' "11.45. let sorrow's tresses loosely flow. When now " '11.46. Aeneas to the lofty doors drew near, 11.47. all these from smitten bosoms raised to heaven ' "11.48. a mighty moaning, till the King's abode " '11.49. was loud with anguish. There Aeneas viewed
