Vergil, Eclogues, 6.31-6.40


nanand crying, “Why tie the fetters? loose me, boys;


nanenough for you to think you had the power;


nannow list the songs you wish for—songs for you


nananother meed for her”—forthwith began.


nanThen might you see the wild things of the wood


nanwith Fauns in sportive frolic beat the time


nanand stubborn oaks their branchy summits bow.


nanNot Phoebus doth the rude Parnassian crag


nano ravish, nor Orpheus so entrance the height


nanof Rhodope or Ismarus: for he sang

20.23. / Thou knowest, O Shaker of Earth, the purpose in my breast, for the which I gathered you hither; I have regard unto them, even though they die. Yet verily, for myself will I abide here sitting in a fold of Olympus, wherefrom I will gaze and make glad my heart; but do ye others all go forth till ye be come among the Trojans and Achaeans, and bear aid to this side or that, even as the mind of each may be. 20.24. / Thou knowest, O Shaker of Earth, the purpose in my breast, for the which I gathered you hither; I have regard unto them, even though they die.

3. Dionysius of Halycarnassus, Roman Antiquities, 1.73.3 (1st cent. BCE - missingth cent. CE)

1.73.3.  Others say that after the death of Aeneas Ascanius, having succeeded to the entire sovereignty of the Latins, divided both the country and the forces of the Latins into three parts, two of which he gave to his brothers, Romulus and Remus. He himself, they say, built Alba and some other towns; Remus built cities which he named Capuas, after Capys, his great-grandfather, Anchisa, after his grandfather Anchises, Aeneia (which was afterwards called Janiculum), after his father, and Rome, after himself. This last city was for some time deserted, but upon the arrival of another colony, which the Albans sent out under the leadership of Romulus and Remus, it received again its ancient name. So that, according to this account, there were two settlements of Rome, one a little after the Trojan war, and the other fifteen generations after the first.

1.183. and bear your king this word! Not unto him 1.740. uch haughty violence fits not the souls 1.741. of vanquished men. We journey to a land 1.742. named, in Greek syllables, Hesperia : 1.743. a storied realm, made mighty by great wars 1.744. and wealth of fruitful land; in former days 1.745. Oenotrians had it, and their sons, 't is said 1.746. have called it Italy, a chieftain's name 1.747. to a whole region given. Thitherward 3.26. et my first walls, though partial Fate opposed 6.285.

Cauldrons of brass brimmed o'er with waters pure; 6.289. And that cold, lifeless clay lave and anoint 6.724. Harries them thus? What wailing smites the air?” 7.21.
