1. Vergil, Aeneis, 1.97-1.101, 1.227-1.233, 1.402-1.404, 8.5, 8.47-8.49, 8.51-8.54, 8.370-8.453, 8.470-8.498, 8.500-8.526, 8.529-8.533, 8.535-8.540 (1st cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE)

1.97. Hurl far and wide, and strew the waves with dead! 1.98. Twice seven nymphs are mine, of rarest mould; 1.99. of whom Deiopea, the most fair 1.100. I give thee in true wedlock for thine own 1.101. to mate thy noble worth; she at thy side 1.227. of unhewn stone, a place the wood-nymphs love. 1.228. In such a port, a weary ship rides free 1.230. Hither Aeneas of his scattered fleet 1.231. aving but seven, into harbor sailed; 1.232. with passionate longing for the touch of land 1.233. forth leap the Trojans to the welcome shore 1.402. the heaven-offending Fury, throned on swords 1.403. and fettered by a hundred brazen chains 8.5. then woke each warrior soul; all Latium stirred 8.48. “Seed of the gods! who bringest to my shore 8.49. thy Trojan city wrested from her foe 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 8.370. acred to Hercules, wove him a wreath 8.371. to shade his silvered brow. The sacred cup 8.372. he raised in his right hand, while all the rest 8.374. Soon from the travelling heavens the western star 8.375. glowed nearer, and Potitius led forth 8.376. the priest-procession, girt in ancient guise 8.377. with skins of beasts and carrying burning brands. 8.378. new feasts are spread, and altars heaped anew 8.379. with gifts and laden chargers. Then with song 8.380. the Salian choir surrounds the blazing shrine 8.381. their foreheads wreathed with poplar. Here the youth 8.382. the elders yonder, in proud anthem sing 8.383. the glory and the deeds of Hercules: 8.384. how first he strangled with strong infant hand 8.385. two serpents, Juno's plague; what cities proud 8.386. Troy and Oechalia, his famous war 8.387. in pieces broke; what labors numberless 8.388. as King Eurystheus' bondman he endured 8.389. by cruel Juno's will. “Thou, unsubdued 8.390. didst strike the twy-formed, cloud-bred centaurs down 8.391. Pholus and tall Hylaeus. Thou hast slain 8.392. the Cretan horror, and the lion huge 8.393. beneath the Nemean crag. At sight of thee 8.394. the Stygian region quailed, and Cerberus 8.395. crouching o'er half-picked bones in gory cave. 8.396. Nothing could bid thee fear. Typhoeus towered 8.397. in his colossal Titan-panoply 8.398. o'er thee in vain; nor did thy cunning fail 8.399. when Lema's wonder-serpent round thee drew 8.400. its multudinous head. Hail, Jove's true son! 8.401. New glory to the gods above, come down 8.402. and these thine altars and thy people bless!” 8.403. Such hymns they chanted, telling oft the tale 8.404. of Cacus' cave and blasting breath of fire: 8.406. Such worship o'er, all take the homeward way 8.407. back to the town. The hospitable King 8.408. though bowed with weight of years, kept at his side 8.409. Aeneas and his son, and as they fared 8.410. with various discourse beguiled the way. 8.411. Aeneas scanned with quick-admiring eyes 8.412. the region wide, and lingered with delight 8.413. now here, now there, inquiring eagerly 8.414. of each proud monument of heroes gone. 8.415. Then King Evander, he who builded first 8.416. On Palatine, spoke thus: “These groves erewhile 8.417. their native nymphs and fauns enjoyed, with men 8.418. from trees engendered and stout heart of oak. 8.419. Nor laws nor arts they knew; nor how to tame 8.420. burls to the yoke, nor fill great barns with store 8.421. and hoard the gathered grain; but rudely fared 8.422. on wild fruits and such food as hunters find. 8.423. Then Saturn from Olympian realms came down 8.424. in flight from Jove's dread arms, his sceptre lost 8.425. and he an exiled King. That savage race 8.426. he gathered from the mountain slopes; and gave 8.427. wise laws and statutes; so that latent land 8.428. was Latium, ‘hid land’, where he hid so long. 8.429. The golden centuries by legends told 8.430. were under that good King, whose equal sway 8.431. untroubled peace to all his peoples gave. 8.432. But after slow decline arrived an age 8.433. degenerate and of a darker hue 8.434. prone to insensate war and greed of gain. 8.435. Then came Sicanian and Ausonian tribes 8.436. and oft the land of Saturn lost its name. 8.437. New chieftains rose, and Thybris, giant King 8.438. and violent, from whom th' Italians named 8.439. the flooding Tiber, which was called no more 8.440. the Albula, its true and ancient style. 8.441. Myself, in exile from my fatherland 8.442. ailing uncharted seas, was guided here 8.443. by all-disposing Chance and iron laws 8.444. of Destiny. With prophecy severe 8.445. Carmentis, my nymph-mother, thrust me on 8.446. warned by Apollo's word.” He scarce had said 8.447. when near their path he showed an altar fair 8.448. and the Carmental gate, where Romans see 8.449. memorial of Carmentis, nymph divine 8.450. the prophetess of fate, who first foretold 8.451. what honors on Aeneas' sons should fall 8.452. and lordly Pallanteum, where they dwell. 8.453. Next the vast grove was seen, where Romulus 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 8.500. 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; 8.524. felt what her beauty and her guile could do; 8.525. as, thralled by love unquenchable, her spouse 8.526. thus answered fair: “Why wilt thou labor so 8.529. I could have armed the Teucrians. Neither Jove 8.530. nor Destiny had grudged ten added years 8.531. of life to Troy and Priam. If to-day 8.532. thou hast a war in hand, and if thy heart 8.533. determine so, I willingly engage 8.535. molten alloy or welded iron can 8.536. whate'er my roaring forge and flames achieve 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
