A beggar bears his fellow-beggar spite, 27. Likewise all singers. Perses, understand 28. My verse, don’t let the evil Strife invite 29. Your heart to shrink from work and make you gaze 30. And listen to the quarrels in the square - 31. No time for quarrels or to spend one’s day 32. In public life when in your granary there 33. Is not stored up a year’s stock of the grain 34. Demeter grants the earth. Get in that store, 35. Then you may wrangle, struggling to obtain 36. Other men’s goods – a chance shall come no more 37. To do this. Let’s set straight our wrangling 38. With Zeus’s laws, so excellent and fair. 39. We split our goods in two, but, capturing 40. The greater part, you carried it from there 41. And praised those kings, bribe-eaters, who adore
111. As well, in silence, for Zeus took away'
118. of gold, existing under Cronus’ reign 119. When he ruled Heaven. There was not a trace 120. of woe among them since they felt no pain; 121. There was no dread old age but, always rude 122. of health, away from grief, they took delight 123. In plenty, while in death they seemed subdued 124. By sleep. Life-giving earth, of its own right, 1
25. Would bring forth plenteous fruit. In harmony 126. They lived, with countless flocks of sheep, at ease 127. With all the gods. But when this progeny 128. Was buried underneath the earth – yet these 129. Live on, land-spirits, holy, pure and blessed, 130. Who guard mankind from evil, watching out 131. For all the laws and heinous deeds, while dressed 132. In misty vapour, roaming all about 133. The land, bestowing wealth, this kingly right 134. Being theirs – a second race the Olympians made, 135. A silver one, far worse, unlike, in sight 136. And mind, the golden, for a young child stayed, 137. A large bairn, in his mother’s custody, 138. Just playing inside for a hundred years. 139. But when they all reached their maturity, 140. They lived a vapid life, replete with tears, 141. Through foolishness, unable to forbear 142. To brawl, spurning the gods, refusing, too, 143. To sacrifice (a law kept everywhere). 144. Then Zeus, since they would not give gods their due, 145. In rage hid them, as did the earth – all men 146. Have called the race Gods Subterranean, 147. Second yet honoured still. A third race then 148. Zeus fashioned out of bronze, quite different than 149. The second, with ash spears, both dread and stout; 150. They liked fell warfare and audacity; 151. They ate no corn, encased about 152. With iron, full invincibility 153. In hands, limbs, shoulders, and the arms they plied 154. Were bronze, their houses, too, their tools; they knew 155. of no black iron. Later, when they died 156. It was self-slaughter – they descended to 157. Chill Hades’ mouldy house, without a name. 158. Yes, black death took them off, although they’d been 159. Impetuous, and they the sun’s bright flame 160. Would see no more, nor would this race be seen 161. Themselves, screened by the earth. Cronus’ son then 162. Fashioned upon the lavish land one more, 163. The fourth, more just and brave – of righteous men, 164. Called demigods. It was the race before 165. Our own upon the boundless earth. Foul war 166. And dreadful battles vanquished some of these, 167. While some in Cadmus’ Thebes, while looking for 168. The flocks of Oedipus, found death. The sea 169. Took others as they crossed to Troy fight 170. For fair-tressed Helen. They were screened as well 171. In death. Lord Zeus arranged it that they might 172. Live far from others. Thus they came to dwell, 173. Carefree, among the blessed isles, content 174. And affluent, by the deep-swirling sea. 175. Sweet grain, blooming three times a year, was sent 176. To them by the earth, that gives vitality 177. To all mankind, and Cronus was their lord, 178. Far from the other gods, for Zeus, who reign 179. Over gods and men, had cut away the cord 180. That bound him. Though the lowest race, its gain 181. Were fame and glory. A fifth progeny 182. All-seeing Zeus produced, who populated 183. The fecund earth. I wish I could not be 184. Among them, but instead that I’d been fated 185. To be born later or be in my grave 186. Already: for it is of iron made. 187. Each day in misery they ever slave, 188. And even in the night they do not fade 189. Away. The gods will give to them great woe 190. But mix good with the bad. Zeus will destroy 191. Them too when babies in their cribs shall grow 192. Grey hair. No bond a father with his boy 193. Shall share, nor guest with host, nor friend with friend – 194. No love of brothers as there was erstwhile, 195. Respect for aging parents at an end. 196. Their wretched children shall with words of bile 197. Find fault with them in their irreverence 198. And not repay their bringing up. We’ll find 199. Cities brought down. There’ll be no deference 200. That’s given to the honest, just and kind. 201. The evil and the proud will get acclaim, 202. Might will be right and shame shall cease to be, 203. The bad will harm the good whom they shall maim 204. With crooked words, swearing false oaths. We’ll see 205. Envy among the wretched, foul of face 206. And voice, adoring villainy, and then 207. Into Olympus from the endless space 208. Mankind inhabits, leaving mortal men, 209. Fair flesh veiled by white robes, shall Probity 210. And Shame depart, and there’ll be grievous pain 211. For men: against all evil there shall be 212. No safeguard. Now I’ll tell, for lords who know 213. What it purports, a fable: once, on high, 214. Clutched in its talon-grip, a bird of prey 215. Took off a speckled nightingale whose cry 216. Was “Pity me”, but, to this bird’s dismay, 217. He said disdainfully: “You silly thing, 218. Why do you cry? A stronger one by far 219. Now has you. Although you may sweetly sing, 220. You go where I decide. Perhaps you are 221. My dinner or perhaps I’ll let you go. 222. A fool assails a stronger, for he’ll be 223. The loser, suffering scorn as well as woe.” 224. Thus spoke the swift-winged bird. Listen to me, 2
25. Perses – heed justice and shun haughtiness; 226. It aids no common man: nobles can’t stay 227. It easily because it will oppre 228. Us all and bring disgrace. The better way 229. Is Justice, who will outstrip Pride at last. 230. Fools learn this by experience because 231. The God of Oaths, by running very fast, 232. Keeps pace with and requites all crooked laws. 233. When men who swallow bribes and crookedly 234. Pass sentences and drag Justice away, 235. There’s great turmoil, and then, in misery 236. Weeping and covered in a misty spray, 237. She comes back to the city, carrying
649. One who is nursing). You must take good care 650. of your sharp-toothed dog; do not scant his meat '. None |

Now all the other gods and men, lords of chariots, slumbered the whole night through, but Zeus was not holden of sweet sleep, for he was pondering in his heart how he might do honour to Achilles and lay many low beside the ships of the Achaeans. And this plan seemed to his mind the best, 2.5. to send to Agamemnon, son of Atreus, a baneful dream. So he spake, and addressed him with winged words:Up, go, thou baneful Dream, unto the swift ships of the Achaeans, and when thou art come to the hut of Agamemnon, son of Atreus,
2.10. tell him all my word truly, even as I charge thee. Bid him arm the long-haired Achaeans with all speed, since now he may take the broad-wayed city of the Trojans. For the immortals, that have homes upon Olympus, are no longer divided in counsel,
2.15. ince Hera hath Vent the minds of all by her supplication, and over the Trojans hang woes. So spake he, and the Dream went his way, when he had heard this saying. Forthwith he came to the swift ships of the Achaeans, and went his way to Agamemnon, son of Atreus, and found him sleeping in his hut, and over him was shed ambrosial slumber. 2.20. So he took his stand above his head, in the likeness of the son of Neleus, even Nestor, whom above all the elders Agamemnon held in honour; likening himself to him, the Dream from heaven spake, saying:Thou sleepest, son of wise-hearted Atreus, the tamer of horses. To sleep the whole night through beseemeth not a man that is a counsellor, 2.25. to whom a host is entrusted, and upon whom rest so many cares. But now, hearken thou quickly unto me, for I am a messenger to thee from Zeus, who, far away though he be, hath exceeding care for thee and pity. He biddeth thee arm the long-haired Achaeans with all speed, since now thou mayest take the broad-wayed city of the Trojans. 2.30. For the immortals that have homes upon Olympus are no longer divided in counsel, since Hera hath bent the minds of all by her supplication, and over the Trojans hang woes by the will of Zeus. But do thou keep this in thy heart, nor let forgetfulness lay hold of thee, whenso honey-hearted sleep shall let thee go. 2.34. For the immortals that have homes upon Olympus are no longer divided in counsel, since Hera hath bent the minds of all by her supplication, and over the Trojans hang woes by the will of Zeus. But do thou keep this in thy heart, nor let forgetfulness lay hold of thee, whenso honey-hearted sleep shall let thee go. 2.35. So spoke the Dream, and departed, and left him there, pondering in his heart on things that were not to be brought to pass. For in sooth he deemed that he should take the city of Priam that very day, fool that he was! seeing he knew not what deeds Zeus was purposing, 2.40. who was yet to bring woes and groanings on Trojans alike and Danaans throughout the course of stubborn fights. Then he awoke from sleep, and the divine voice was ringing in his ears. He sat upright and did on his soft tunic, fair and glistering, and about him cast his great cloak, and beneath his shining feet he bound his fair sandals, 2.45. and about his shoulders flung his silver-studded sword; and he grasped the sceptre of his fathers, imperishable ever, and therewith took his way along the ships of the brazen-coated Achaeans.Now the goddess Dawn went up to high Olympus, to announce the light to Zeus and the other immortals,
5.787. tood and shouted in the likeness of great-hearted Stentor of the brazen voice, whose voice is as the voice of fifty other men:Fie, ye Argives, base things of shame fair in semblance only! So long as goodly Achilles was wont to fare into battle, never would the Trojans come forth even before the Dardanian gate;
7.475. and some for slaves; and they made them a rich feast. So the whole night through the long-haired Achaeans feasted, and the Trojans likewise in the city, and their allies; and all night long Zeus, the counsellor, devised them evil, thundering in terrible wise. Then pale fear gat hold of them, 7.480. and they let the wine flow from their cups upon the ground, neither durst any man drink until he had made a drink-offering to the son of Cronos, supreme in might. Then they laid them down, and took the gift of sleep.
8.228. and to those of Achilles; for these had drawn up their shapely ships at the furthermost ends, trusting in their valour and in the strength of their hands. There uttered he a piercing shout, calling aloud to the Danaans:Fie, ye Argives, base things of shame fair in semblance only. ' "
9.241. His prayer is that with all speed sacred Dawn may appear, for he declareth that he will hew from the ships' sterns the topmost ensigns, and burn the very hulls with consuming fire, and amidst them make havoc of the Achaeans, distraught by reason of the smoke. " '
22.304. Now of a surety is evil death nigh at hand, and no more afar from me, neither is there way of escape. So I ween from of old was the good pleasure of Zeus, and of the son of Zeus, the god that smiteth afar, even of them that aforetime were wont to succour me with ready hearts; but now again is my doom come upon me. Nay, but not without a struggle let me die, neither ingloriously, 22.305. but in the working of some great deed for the hearing of men that are yet to be. So saying, he drew his sharp sword that hung beside his flank, a great sword and a mighty, and gathering himself together swooped like an eagle of lofty flight that darteth to the plain through the dark clouds to seize a tender lamb or a cowering hare;
23.83. opened its maw, the fate that was appointed me even from my birth. Aye, and thou thyself also, Achilles like to the gods, art doomed to be brought low beneath the wall of the waelthy Trojans. And another thing will I speak, and charge thee, if so be thou wilt hearken. Lay not my bones apart from thine, Achilles, but let them lie together, even as we were reared in your house, 23.84. opened its maw, the fate that was appointed me even from my birth.

They had neither knowledge of houses built of bricks and turned to face the sun nor yet of work in wood; but dwelt beneath the ground like swarming ants, in sunless caves. They had no sign either of winter 455. or of flowery spring or of fruitful summer, on which they could depend but managed everything without judgment, until I taught them to discern the risings of the stars and their settings, which are difficult to distinguish. Yes, and numbers, too, chiefest of sciences, 460. I invented for them, and the combining of letters, creative mother of the Muses’ arts, with which to hold all things in memory. I, too, first brought brute beasts beneath the yoke to be subject to the collar and the pack-saddle, so that they might bear in men’s stead their 465. heaviest burdens; and to the chariot I harnessed horses and made them obedient to the rein, to be an image of wealth and luxury. It was I and no one else who invented the mariner’s flaxen-winged car that roams the sea. Wretched that I am—such are the arts I devised 470. for mankind, yet have myself no cunning means to rid me of my present suffering. Chorus '. None |

2.111. Adhibuit etiam latebram obscuritatis, ut iidem versus alias in aliam rem posse accommodari viderentur. Non esse autem illud carmen furentis cum ipsum poe+ma declarat (est enim magis artis et diligentiae quam incitationis et motus), tum vero ea, quae a)krostixi/s dicitur, cum deinceps ex primis primi cuiusque versus litteris aliquid conectitur, ut in quibusdam Ennianis: Q. Ennius fecit . Id certe magis est attenti animi quam furentis. 2.112. Atque in Sibyllinis ex primo versu cuiusque sententiae primis litteris illius sententiae carmen omne praetexitur. Hoc scriptoris est, non furentis, adhibentis diligentiam, non insani. Quam ob rem Sibyllam quidem sepositam et conditam habeamus, ut, id quod proditum est a maioribus, iniussu senatus ne legantur quidem libri valeantque ad deponendas potius quam ad suscipiendas religiones; cum antistitibus agamus, ut quidvis potius ex illis libris quam regem proferant, quem Romae posthac nec di nec homines esse patientur. At multi saepe vera vaticinati, ut Cassandra: Iamque mari magno eademque paulo post: Eheu videte Num igitur me cogis etiam fabulis credere?''. None | 2.111. He also employed a maze of obscurity so that the same verses might be adapted to different situations at different times. Moreover, that this poem is not the work of frenzy is quite evident from the quality of its composition (for it exhibits artistic care rather than emotional excitement), and is especially evident from the fact that it is written in what is termed acrostics, wherein the initial letters of each verse taken in order convey a meaning; as, for example, in some of Enniuss verses, the initial letters form the words, Quintus Ennius Fecit, that is, Quintus Ennius wrote it. That surely is the work of concentrated thought and not of a frenzied brain. 2.112. And in the Sibylline books, throughout the entire work, each prophecy is embellished with an acrostic, so that the initial letters of each of the lines give the subject of that particular prophecy. Such a work comes from a writer who is not frenzied, who is painstaking, not crazy. Therefore let us keep the Sibyl under lock and key so that in accordance with the ordices of our forefathers her books may not even be read without permission of the Senate and may be more effective in banishing rather than encouraging superstitious ideas. And let us plead with the priests to bring forth from those books anything rather than a king, whom henceforth neither gods nor men will suffer to exist in Rome.55 But many persons in a frenzy often utter true prophecies, as Cassandra did when she saidAlready on the mighty deep . . .and when, a little later, she exclaimed,Alas! behold! . . .''.

| 2.89. Just as the shield in Accius who had never seen a ship before, on descrying in the distance from his mountain‑top the strange vessel of the Argonauts, built by the gods, in his first amazement and alarm cries out: so huge a bulk Glides from the deep with the roar of a whistling wind: Waves roll before, and eddies surge and swirl; Hurtling headlong, it snort and sprays the foam. Now might one deem a bursting storm-cloud rolled, Now that a rock flew skyward, flung aloft By wind and storm, or whirling waterspout Rose from the clash of wave with warring wave; Save 'twere land-havoc wrought by ocean-flood, Or Triton's trident, heaving up the roots of cavernous vaults beneath the billowy sea, Hurled from the depth heaven-high a massy crag. At first he wonders what the unknown creature that he beholds may be. Then when he sees the warriors and hears the singing of the sailors, he goes on: the sportive dolphins swift Forge snorting through the foam — and so on and so on — Brings to my ears and hearing such a tune As old Silvanus piped.

| 3.52.3. \xa0For our part, however, since we find that many early poets and historians, and not a\xa0few of the later ones as well, have made mention of them, we shall endeavour to recount their deeds in summary, following the account of Dionysius, who composed a narrative about the Argonauts and Dionysus, and also about many other things which took place in the most ancient times.
4.40.1. \xa0As for the Argonauts, since Heracles joined them in their campaign, it may be appropriate to speak of them in this connection. This is the account which is given: â\x80\x94 Jason was the son of Aeson and the nephew through his father of Pelias, the king of the Thessalians, and excelling as he did above those of his years in strength of body and nobility of spirit he was eager to accomplish a deed worthy of memory. 4.40.2. \xa0And since he observed that of the men of former times Perseus and certain others had gained glory which was held in everlasting remembrance from the campaigns which they had waged in foreign lands and the hazard attending the labours they had performed, he was eager to follow the examples they had set. As a consequence he revealed his undertaking to the king and quickly received his approval. It was not so much that Pelias was eager to bring distinction to the youth that he hoped that in the hazardous expeditions he would lose his life; 4.40.3. \xa0for he himself had been deprived by nature of any male children and was fearful that his brother, with his son to aid him, would make an attempt upon the kingdom. Hiding, however, this suspicion and promising to supply everything which would be needed for the expedition, he urged Jason to undertake an exploit by sailing to Colchis after the renowned golden-fleeced skin of the ram.
4.40.5. \xa0Jason, who was eager for glory, recognizing that the labour was difficult of accomplishment and yet not altogether impossible, and concluding that for this very reason the greater renown would attach to himself, made ready everything needed for the undertaking.
4.41.1. \xa0First of all, in the vicinity of Mount Pelion he built a ship which far surpassed in its size and in its equipment in general any vessel known in those days, since the men of that time put to sea on rafts or in very small boats. Consequently those who saw the ship at the time were greatly astonished, and when the report was noised about throughout Greece both of the exploit of the enterprise of building the ship, no small number of the youths of prominence were eager to take part in the expedition.
4.41.2. \xa0Jason, then, after he had launched the ship and fitted it out in brilliant fashion with everything which would astonish the mind, picked out the most renowned chieftains from those who were eager to share his plan, with the result that the whole number of those in his company amounted to fifty-four. of these the most famous were Castor and Polydeuces, Heracles and Telamon, Orpheus and Atalantê the daughter of Schoeneus, and the sons of Thespius, and the leader himself who was setting out on the voyage to Colchis.
4.41.3. \xa0The vessel was called Argo after Argus, as some writers of myths record, who was the master-builder of the ship and went along on the voyage in order to repair the parts of the vessel as they were strained from time to time, but, as some say, after its exceeding great swiftness, since the ancients called what is swift Argos. Now after the chieftains had gathered together they chose Heracles to be their general, preferring him because of his courage.' "
4.41. 1. \xa0First of all, in the vicinity of Mount Pelion he built a ship which far surpassed in its size and in its equipment in general any vessel known in those days, since the men of that time put to sea on rafts or in very small boats. Consequently those who saw the ship at the time were greatly astonished, and when the report was noised about throughout Greece both of the exploit of the enterprise of building the ship, no small number of the youths of prominence were eager to take part in the expedition.,2. \xa0Jason, then, after he had launched the ship and fitted it out in brilliant fashion with everything which would astonish the mind, picked out the most renowned chieftains from those who were eager to share his plan, with the result that the whole number of those in his company amounted to fifty-four. of these the most famous were Castor and Polydeuces, Heracles and Telamon, Orpheus and Atalantê the daughter of Schoeneus, and the sons of Thespius, and the leader himself who was setting out on the voyage to Colchis.,3. \xa0The vessel was called Argo after Argus, as some writers of myths record, who was the master-builder of the ship and went along on the voyage in order to repair the parts of the vessel as they were strained from time to time, but, as some say, after its exceeding great swiftness, since the ancients called what is swift Argos. Now after the chieftains had gathered together they chose Heracles to be their general, preferring him because of his courage. 4.42. 1. \xa0After they had sailed from Iolcus, the account continues, and had gone past Athos and Samothrace, they encountered a storm and were carried to Sigeium in the Troad. When they disembarked there, it is said, they discovered a maiden bound in chains upon the shore, the reason for it being as follows.,2. \xa0Poseidon, as the story runs, became angry with Laomedon the king of Troy in connection with the building of its walls, according to the mythical story, and sent forth from the sea a monster to ravage the land. By this monster those who made their living by the seashore and the farmers who tilled the land contiguous to the sea were being surprised and carried off. Furthermore, a pestilence fell upon the people and a total destruction of their crops, so that all the inhabitants were at their wits' end because of the magnitude of what had befallen them.,3. \xa0Consequently the common crowd gathered together into an assembly and sought for a deliverance from their misfortunes, and the king, it is said, dispatched a mission to Apollo to inquire of the god respecting what had befallen them. When the oracle, then, became known, which told that the cause was the anger of Poseidon and that only then would it cease when the Trojans should of their free will select by lot one of their children and deliver him to the monster for his food, although all the children submitted to the lot, it fell upon the king's daughter Hesionê.,4. \xa0Consequently Laomedon was constrained by necessity to deliver the maiden and to leave her, bound in chains, upon the shore.,5. \xa0Here Heracles, when he had disembarked with the Argonauts and learned from the girl of her sudden change of fortune, rent asunder the chains which were about her body and going up to the city made an offer to the king to slay the monster.,6. \xa0When Laomedon accepted the proposal and promised to give him as his reward his invincible mares, Heracles, they say, did slay the monster and Hesionê was given the choice either to leave her home with her saviour or to remain in her native land with her parents. The girl, then, chose to spend her life with the stranger, not merely because she preferred the benefaction she had received to the ties of kinship, but also because she feared that a monster might again appear and she be exposed by citizens to the same fate as that from which she had just escaped.,7. \xa0As for Heracles, after he had been splendidly honoured with gifts and the appropriate tokens of hospitality, he left Hesionê and the mares in keeping with Laomedon, having arranged that after he had returned from Colchis, he should receive them again; he then set sail with all haste in the company of the Argonauts to accomplish the labour which lay before them." '
4.43.1. \xa0But there came on a great storm and the chieftains had given up hope of being saved, when Orpheus, they say, who was the only one on shipboard who had ever been initiated in the mysteries of the deities of Samothrace, offered to these deities the prayers for their salvation. 4.43.2. \xa0And immediately the wind died down and two stars fell over the heads of the Dioscori, and the whole company was amazed at the marvel which had taken place and concluded that they had been rescued from their perils by an act of Providence of the gods. For this reason, the story of this reversal of fortune for the Argonauts has been handed down to succeeding generations, and sailors when caught in storms always direct their prayers to the deities of Samothrace and attribute the appearance of the two stars to the epiphany of the Dioscori. 4.43.3. \xa0At that time, however, the tale continues, when the storm had abated, the chieftains landed in Thrace on the country which was ruled by Phineus. Here they came upon two youths who by way of punishment had been shut within a burial vault where they were being subjected to continual blows of the whip; these were sons of Phineus and Cleopatra, who men said was born of Oreithyïa, the daughter of Erechtheus, and Boreas, and had unjustly been subjected to such a punishment because of the unscrupulousness and lying accusations of their mother-inâ\x80\x91law. 4.43.4. \xa0For Phineus had married Idaea, the daughter of Dardanus the king of the Scythians, and yielding to her every desire out of his love for her he had believed her charge that his sons by an earlier marriage had insolently offered violence to their mother-inâ\x80\x91law out of a desire to please their mother.
4.45. 1. \xa0Since it is the task of history to inquire into the reasons for this slaying of strangers, we must discuss these reasons briefly, especially since the digression on this subject will be appropriate in connection with the deeds of the Argonauts. We are told, that is, that Helius had two sons, Aeëtes and Perses, Aeëtes being king of Colchis and the other king of the Tauric Chersonese, and that both of them were exceedingly cruel.,2. \xa0And Perses had a daughter Hecatê, who surpassed her father in boldness and lawlessness; she was also fond of hunting, and with she had no luck she would turn her arrows upon human beings instead of the beasts.,3. \xa0Being likewise ingenious in the mixing of deadly poisons she discovered the drug called aconite and tried out the strength of each poison by mixing it in the food given to the strangers.,4. \xa0And since she possessed great experience in such matters she first of all poisoned her father and so succeeded to the throne, and then, founding a temple of Artemis and commanding that strangers who landed there should be sacrificed to the goddess, she became known far and wide for her cruelty.,5. \xa0After this she married Aeëtes and bore two daughters, Circê and Medea, and a son Aegialeus.,6. \xa0Although Circê also, it is said, devoted herself to the devising of all kinds of drugs and discovered roots of all manner of natures and potencies such as are difficult to credit, yet, notwithstanding that she was taught by her mother Hecatê about not a\xa0few drugs, she discovered by her own study a far greater number, so that she left to the other woman no superiority whatever in the matter of devising uses of drugs.,7. \xa0She was given in marriage to the king of the Sarmatians, whom some call Scythians, and first she poisoned her husband and after that, succeeding to the throne, she committed many cruel and violent acts against her subjects.,8. \xa0For this reason she was deposed from her throne and, according to some writers of myths, fled to the ocean, where she seized a desert island, and there established herself with the women who had fled with her, though according to some historians she left the Pontus and settled in Italy on a promontory which to this day bears after her the name Circaeum.
4.48.5. \xa0The moment the king fell, the Greeks took courage, and the Colchi turned in flight and the larger part of them were slain in the pursuit. There were wounded among the chieftains Jason, Laërtes, Atalantê, and the sons of Thespius, as they are called. However they were all healed in a\xa0few days, they say, by Medea by means of roots and certain herbs, and the Argonauts, after securing provisions for themselves, set out to sea, and they had already reached the middle of the Pontic sea when they ran into a storm which put them in the greatest peril.
4.49.3. \xa0After this they put out to sea, and after sailing through the Propontis and Hellespont they landed at the Troad. Here, when Heracles dispatched to the city his brother Iphiclus and Telamon to demand back both the mares and Hesionê, Laomedon, it is said, threw the ambassadors into prison and planned to lay an ambush for the other Argonauts and encompass their death. He had the rest of his sons as willing aids in the deed, but Priam alone opposed it; for he declared that Laomedon should observe justice in his dealings with the strangers and should deliver to them both his sister and the mares which had been promised. 4.49.4. \xa0But when no one paid any heed to Priam, he brought two swords to the prison, they say, and gave them secretly to Telamon and his companions, and by disclosing the plan of his father he became the cause of their deliverance. 4.49.5. \xa0For immediately Telamon and his companions slew such of the guards as offered resistance, and fleeing to the sea gave the Argonauts a full account of what had happened. Accordingly, these got ready for battle and went out to meet the forces which were pouring out of the city with the king. 4.49.6. \xa0There was a sharp battle, but their courage gave the chieftains the upper hand, and Heracles, the myths report, performed the bravest feats of them all; for he slew Laomedon, and taking the city at the first assault he punished those who were parties with the king to the plot, but to Priam, because of the spirit of justice he had shown, he gave the kingship, entered into a\xa0league of friendship with him, and then sailed away in company with the Argonauts. 4.49.7. \xa0But certain of the ancient poets have handed down the account that Heracles took Troy, not with the aid of the Argonauts, but on a campaign of his own with six ships, in order to get the mares; and Homer also adds his witness to this version in the following lines: Aye, what a man, they say, was Heracles In might, my father he, steadfast, with heart of lion, who once came here to carry off The mares of King Laomedon, with but Six ships and scantier men, yet sacked he then The city of proud Ilium, and made Her streets bereft.
4.50.1. \xa0While the return of the chieftains was as yet not known in Thessaly, a rumour, they say, went the rounds there that all the companions of Jason in the expedition had perished in the region of Pontus. Consequently Pelias, thinking that an occasion was now come to do away with all who were waiting for the throne, forced the father of Jason to drink the blood of a bull, and murdered his brother Promachus, who was still a mere lad in years. 4.50.2. \xa0But Amphinomê, his mother, they say, when on the point of being slain, performed a manly deed and one worthy of mention; for fleeing to the hearth of the king she pronounced a curse against him, to the effect that he might suffer the fate which his impious deeds merited, and then, striking her own breast with a sword, she ended her life heroically.''.

Apollo, also, gave him a curved beak, 11.543. and to his slender toes gave crooked claws. 11.544. His former courage still remains, with strength 11.545. greater than usual in birds. He changed 11.546. to a fierce hawk; cruel to all, he vent 11.547. his rage on other birds. Grieving himself 11.548. he is a cause of grief to all his kind.” 11.549.

I bring you dreadful news!” 11.555. Peleus asked him to tell what had gone wrong 11.556. and with King Ceyx he listened in suspense.

| 20. for they became executors of all the plans which they had devised, treating him like a mute person on the stage, as one who was only, by way of making up the show, inscribed with the title of authority, being themselves a lot of Dionysiuses, demagogues, and of Lampos, a pack of cavillers and word-splitters; and of Isidoruses, sowers of sedition, busy-bodies, devisers of evil, troublers of the state; for this is the name which has, at last, been given to them. ' "
27. Accordingly, going down to Dicaearchia, and seeing some Alexandrian vessels in the harbour, looking all ready and fit to put to sea, he embarked with his followers, and had a fair voyage, and so a few days afterwards he arrived at his journey's end, unforeseen and unexpected, having commanded the captains of his vessels (for he came in sight of Pharos about twilight in the evening) to furl their sails, and to keep a short distance out of sight in the open sea, until it became late in the evening and dark, and then at night he entered the port, that when he disembarked he might find all the citizens buried in sleep, and so, without any one seeing him, he might arrive at the house of the man who was to be his entertainer. " '
30. And then again his friends and companions came and stirred up the miserable Flaccus, inviting, and exciting, and stimulating him to feel the same envy with themselves; saying, "The arrival of this man to take upon him his government is equivalent to a deposition of yourself. He is invested with a greater dignity of honour and glory than you. He attracts all eyes towards himself when they see the array of sentinels and bodyguards around him adorned with silvered and gilded arms.
33. for he encouraged the idle and lazy mob of the city (and the mob of Alexandria is one accustomed to great license of speech, and one which delights above measure in calumny and evil-speaking), to abuse the king, either beginning to revile him in his own person, or else exhorting and exciting others to do so by the agency of persons who were accustomed to serve him in business of this kind.
35. For why did he not show his indignation, why did he not commit them to prison, why did he not chastise them for their insolent and disloyal evil speaking? And even if he had not been a king but only one of the household of Caesar, ought he not to have had some privileges and especial honours? The fact is that all these circumstances are an undeniable evidence that Flaccus was a participator in all this abuse; for he who might have punished it with the most extreme severity, and entirely checked it, and who yet took no steps to restrain it, was clearly convicted of having permitted and encouraged it; but whenever an ungoverned multitude begins a course of evil doing it never desists, but proceeds from one wickedness to another, continually doing some monstrous thing. VI.
122. And when they had spent the whole night in hymns and songs, they poured out through the gates at the earliest dawn, and hastened to the nearest point of the shore, for they had been deprived of their usual places for prayer, and standing in a clear and open space, they cried out, '
189. for he, turning round them and clinging to his executioners, who were hindered in their aims which they took at him with their swords, and who thus struck him with oblique blows, was the cause of his own sufferings being more severe; for he was in consequence mutilated and cut about the hands, and feet, and head, and breast, and sides, so that he was mangled like a victim, and thus he fell, justice righteously inflicting on his own body wounds equal in number to the murders of the Jews whom he had unlawfully put to death. 190. And the whole place flowed with blood which was shed from his numerous veins, which were cut in every part of his body, and which poured forth blood as from a fountain. And when the corpse was dragged into the trench which had been dug, the greater part of the limbs separated from the body, the sinews by which the whole of the body is kept together being all cut through.

None | 1.9.1. of the sons of Aeolus, Athamas ruled over Boeotia and begat a son Phrixus and a daughter Helle by Nephele. And he married a second wife, Ino, by whom he had Learchus and Melicertes. But Ino plotted against the children of Nephele and persuaded the women to parch the wheat; and having got the wheat they did so without the knowledge of the men. But the earth, being sown with parched wheat, did not yield its annual crops; so Athamas sent to Delphi to inquire how he might be delivered from the dearth. Now Ino persuaded the messengers to say it was foretold that the infertility would cease if Phrixus were sacrificed to Zeus. When Athamas heard that, he was forced by the inhabitants of the land to bring Phrixus to the altar. But Nephele caught him and her daughter up and gave them a ram with a golden fleece, which she had received from Hermes, and borne through the sky by the ram they crossed land and sea. But when they were over the sea which lies betwixt Sigeum and the Chersonese, Helle slipped into the deep and was drowned, and the sea was called Hellespont after her. But Phrixus came to the Colchians, whose king was Aeetes, son of the Sun and of Perseis, and brother of Circe and Pasiphae, whom Minos married. He received Phrixus and gave him one of his daughters, Chalciope. And Phrixus sacrificed the ram with the golden fleece to Zeus the god of Escape, and the fleece he gave to Aeetes, who nailed it to an oak in a grove of Ares. And Phrixus had children by Chalciope, to wit, Argus, Melas, Phrontis, and Cytisorus.
1.9.28. They went to Corinth, and lived there happily for ten years, till Creon, king of Corinth, betrothed his daughter Glauce to Jason, who married her and divorced Medea. But she invoked the gods by whom Jason had sworn, and after often upbraiding him with his ingratitude she sent the bride a robe steeped in poison, which when Glauce had put on, she was consumed with fierce fire along with her father, who went to her rescue. But Mermerus and Pheres, the children whom Medea had by Jason, she killed, and having got from the Sun a car drawn by winged dragons she fled on it to Athens . Another tradition is that on her flight she left behind her children, who were still infants, setting them as suppliants on the altar of Hera of the Height; but the Corinthians removed them and wounded them to death. Medea came to Athens, and being there married to Aegeus bore him a son Medus. Afterwards, however, plotting against Theseus, she was driven a fugitive from Athens with her son. But he conquered many barbarians and called the whole country under him Media, and marching against the Indians he met his death. And Medea came unknown to Colchis, and finding that Aeetes had been deposed by his brother Perses, she killed Perses and restored the kingdom to her father.' "
2.1.3. Argus and Ismene, daughter of Asopus, had a son Iasus, who is said to have been the father of Io. But the annalist Castor and many of the tragedians allege that Io was a daughter of Inachus; and Hesiod and Acusilaus say that she was a daughter of Piren. Zeus seduced her while she held the priesthood of Hera, but being detected by Hera he by a touch turned Io into a white cow and swore that he had not known her; wherefore Hesiod remarks that lover's oaths do not draw down the anger of the gods. But Hera requested the cow from Zeus for herself and set Argus the All-seeing to guard it. Pherecydes says that this Argus was a son of Arestor; but Asclepiades says that he was a son of Inachus, and Cercops says that he was a son of Argus and Ismene, daughter of Asopus; but Acusilaus says that he was earth-born. He tethered her to the olive tree which was in the grove of the Mycenaeans. But Zeus ordered Hermes to steal the cow, and as Hermes could not do it secretly because Hierax had blabbed, he killed Argus by the cast of a stone; whence he was called Argiphontes. Hera next sent a gadfly to infest the cow, and the animal came first to what is called after her the Ionian gulf. Then she journeyed through Illyria and having traversed Mount Haemus she crossed what was then called the Thracian Straits but is now called after her the Bosphorus. And having gone away to Scythia and the Cimmerian land she wandered over great tracts of land and swam wide stretches of sea both in Europe and Asia until at last she came to Egypt, where she recovered her original form and gave birth to a son Epaphus beside the river Nile . Him Hera besought the Curetes to make away with, and make away with him they did. When Zeus learned of it, he slew the Curetes; but Io set out in search of the child. She roamed all over Syria, because there it was revealed to her that the wife of the king of Byblus was nursing her son; and having found Epaphus she came to Egypt and was married to Telegonus, who then reigned over the Egyptians. And she set up an image of Demeter, whom the Egyptians called Isis, and Io likewise they called by the name of Isis." '
2.7.8. And he had sons by the daughters of Thespius, to wit: by Procris he had Antileon and Hippeus( for the eldest daughter bore twins); by Panope he had Threpsippas; by Lyse he had Eumedes; |

Livy, i. 7, 1. and taking their seats on the ground apart from one another, six vultures, they say, were seen by Remus, and twice that number by Romulus. Some, however, say that whereas Remus truly saw his six, Romulus lied about his twelve, but that when Remus came to him, then he did see the twelve. Hence it is that at the present time also the Romans chiefly regard vultures when they take auguries from the flight of birds. Herodorus Ponticus relates that Hercules also was glad to see a vulture present itself when he was upon an exploit. 9.6. For it is the least harmful of all creatures, injures no grain, fruit-tree, or cattle, and lives on carrion. But it does not kill or maltreat anything that has life, and as for birds, it will not touch them even when they are dead, since they are of its own species. But eagles, owls, and hawks smite their own kind when alive, and kill them. And yet, in the words of Aeschylus:— Suppliants, 226 (Dindorf). How shall a bird that preys on fellow bird be clean?''.

| 7.1. \xa0Next, as the day was drawing to its close, he entered the senate and after giving a brief account of himself, alleging that he had been carried off in the streets and forced to undertake the rule, which he would exercise in accordance with the general will, he went to the Palace. When in the midst of the other adulations of those who congratulated and flattered him, he was hailed by the common herd as Nero, he made no sign of dissent; on the contrary, according to some writers, he even made use of that surname in his commissions and his first letters to some of the governors of the provinces. Certain it is that he suffered Nero's busts and statues to be set up again, and reinstated his procurators and freedmen in their former posts, while the first grant that he signed as emperor was one of fifty million sesterces for finishing the Golden House."".

He began the restoration of the Capitol in person, was the first to lend a hand in clearing away the debris, and carried some of it off on his own head. He undertook to restore the three thousand bronze tablets which were destroyed with the temple, making a thorough search for copies: priceless and most ancient records of the empire, containing the decrees of the senate and the acts of the commons almost from the foundation of the city, regarding alliances, treaties, and special privileges granted to individuals.''.

| 3.55. \xa0Vitellius was like a man wakened from a deep sleep. He ordered Julius Priscus and Alfenus Avarus to block the passes of the Apennines with fourteen praetorian cohorts and all the cavalry. A\xa0legion of marines followed them later. These thousands of armed forces, consisting too of picked men and horses, were equal to taking the offensive if they had had another leader. The rest of the cohorts Vitellius gave to his brother Lucius for the defence of Rome, while he, abating in no degree his usual life of pleasure and urged on by his lack of confidence in the future, held the comitia before the usual time, and designated the consuls for many years to come. He granted special treaties to allies and bestowed Latin rights on foreigners with a generous hand; he reduced the tribute for some provincials, he relieved others from all obligations â\x80\x94 in short, with no regard for the future he crippled the empire. But the mob attended in delight on the great indulgences that he bestowed; the most foolish citizens bought them, while the wise regarded as worthless privileges which could neither be granted nor accepted if the state was to stand. Finally Vitellius listened to the demands of his army which had stopped at Mevania, and left Rome, accompanied by a long line of senators, many of whom were drawn in his train by their desire to secure his favour, most however by fear. So he came to camp with no clear purpose in mind, an easy prey to treacherous advice.
4.52. \xa0It is said that Titus, before leaving, in a long interview with his father begged him not to be easily excited by the reports of those who calumniated Domitian, and urged him to show himself impartial and forgiving toward his son. "Neither armies nor fleets," he argued, "are so strong a defence of the imperial power as a\xa0number of children; for friends are chilled, changed, and lost by time, fortune, and sometimes by inordinate desires or by mistakes: the ties of blood cannot be severed by any man, least of all by princes, whose success others also enjoy, but whose misfortunes touch only their nearest kin. Not even brothers will always agree unless the father sets the example." Not so much reconciled toward Domitian as delighted with Titus\'s show of brotherly affection, Vespasian bade him be of good cheer and to magnify the state by war and arms; he would himself care for peace and his house. Then he had some of the swiftest ships laden with grain and entrusted to the sea, although it was still dangerous: for, in fact, Rome was in such a critical condition that she did not have more than ten days\' supplies in her granaries when the supplies from Vespasian came to her relief.''.

1.1. Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris
1.2. Italiam, fato profugus, Laviniaque venit
1.3. litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto
1.4. vi superum saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram;
1.8. Musa, mihi causas memora, quo numine laeso,
1.9. quidve dolens, regina deum tot volvere casus
1.10. insignem pietate virum, tot adire labores
1.50. Talia flammato secum dea corde volutans
1.51. nimborum in patriam, loca feta furentibus austris,
1.52. Aeoliam venit. Hic vasto rex Aeolus antro
1.53. luctantes ventos tempestatesque sonoras
1.54. imperio premit ac vinclis et carcere frenat.
1.55. Illi indigtes magno cum murmure montis
1.56. circum claustra fremunt; celsa sedet Aeolus arce
1.57. sceptra tenens, mollitque animos et temperat iras.
1.58. Ni faciat, maria ac terras caelumque profundum
1.59. quippe ferant rapidi secum verrantque per auras.
1.60. Sed pater omnipotens speluncis abdidit atris,
1.61. hoc metuens, molemque et montis insuper altos
1.62. imposuit, regemque dedit, qui foedere certo
1.63. et premere et laxas sciret dare iussus habenas.
1.64. Ad quem tum Iuno supplex his vocibus usa est:
1.65. Aeole, namque tibi divom pater atque hominum rex
1.66. et mulcere dedit fluctus et tollere vento,
1.67. gens inimica mihi Tyrrhenum navigat aequor,
1.68. Ilium in Italiam portans victosque Penates:
1.69. incute vim ventis submersasque obrue puppes,
1.71. Sunt mihi bis septem praestanti corpore nymphae,
1.72. quarum quae forma pulcherrima Deiopea,
1.73. conubio iungam stabili propriamque dicabo,
1.74. omnis ut tecum meritis pro talibus annos
1.75. exigat, et pulchra faciat te prole parentem.
1.76. Aeolus haec contra: Tuus, O regina, quid optes
1.77. explorare labor; mihi iussa capessere fas est.
1.78. Tu mihi, quodcumque hoc regni, tu sceptra Iovemque
1.79. concilias, tu das epulis accumbere divom,
1.80. nimborumque facis tempestatumque potentem.
1.81. Haec ubi dicta, cavum conversa cuspide montem
1.82. impulit in latus: ac venti, velut agmine facto,
1.83. qua data porta, ruunt et terras turbine perflant.
1.84. Incubuere mari, totumque a sedibus imis
1.85. una Eurusque Notusque ruunt creberque procellis
1.86. Africus, et vastos volvunt ad litora fluctus.
1.87. Insequitur clamorque virum stridorque rudentum.
1.88. Eripiunt subito nubes caelumque diemque
1.90. Intonuere poli, et crebris micat ignibus aether,
1.91. praesentemque viris intentant omnia mortem.
1.92. Extemplo Aeneae solvuntur frigore membra:
1.93. ingemit, et duplicis tendens ad sidera palmas
1.94. talia voce refert: O terque quaterque beati,
1.95. quis ante ora patrum Troiae sub moenibus altis
1.96. contigit oppetere! O Danaum fortissime gentis
1.97. Tydide! Mene Iliacis occumbere campis
1.98. non potuisse, tuaque animam hanc effundere dextra,
1.99. saevus ubi Aeacidae telo iacet Hector, ubi ingens
1.100. Sarpedon, ubi tot Simois correpta sub undis
1.101. scuta virum galeasque et fortia corpora volvit?
1.102. Talia iactanti stridens Aquilone procella
1.104. Franguntur remi; tum prora avertit, et undis
1.105. dat latus; insequitur cumulo praeruptus aquae mons.
1.106. Hi summo in fluctu pendent; his unda dehiscens
1.107. terram inter fluctus aperit; furit aestus harenis.
1.108. Tris Notus abreptas in saxa latentia torquet—
1.109. saxa vocant Itali mediis quae in fluctibus aras—
1.111. in brevia et Syrtis urguet, miserabile visu,
1.112. inliditque vadis atque aggere cingit harenae.
1.113. Unam, quae Lycios fidumque vehebat Oronten,
1.114. ipsius ante oculos ingens a vertice pontus
1.115. in puppim ferit: excutitur pronusque magister
1.116. volvitur in caput; ast illam ter fluctus ibidem
1.117. torquet agens circum, et rapidus vorat aequore vortex.
1.118. Adparent rari tes in gurgite vasto,
1.119. arma virum, tabulaeque, et Troia gaza per undas.
1.120. Iam validam Ilionei navem, iam fortis Achati,
1.121. et qua vectus Abas, et qua grandaevus Aletes,
1.122. vicit hiems; laxis laterum compagibus omnes
1.123. accipiunt inimicum imbrem, rimisque fatiscunt.
1.124. Interea magno misceri murmure pontum,
1.125. emissamque hiemem sensit Neptunus, et imis
1.126. stagna refusa vadis, graviter commotus; et alto
1.127. prospiciens, summa placidum caput extulit unda.
1.128. Disiectam Aeneae, toto videt aequore classem,
1.129. fluctibus oppressos Troas caelique ruina,
1.130. nec latuere doli fratrem Iunonis et irae.
1.131. Eurum ad se Zephyrumque vocat, dehinc talia fatur:
1.132. Tantane vos generis tenuit fiducia vestri?
1.133. Iam caelum terramque meo sine numine, venti,
1.134. miscere, et tantas audetis tollere moles?
1.136. Post mihi non simili poena commissa luetis.
1.137. Maturate fugam, regique haec dicite vestro:
1.138. non illi imperium pelagi saevumque tridentem,
1.139. sed mihi sorte datum. Tenet ille immania saxa,
1.140. vestras, Eure, domos; illa se iactet in aula
1.141. Aeolus, et clauso ventorum carcere regnet.
1.142. Sic ait, et dicto citius tumida aequora placat,
1.143. collectasque fugat nubes, solemque reducit.
1.144. Cymothoe simul et Triton adnixus acuto
1.145. detrudunt navis scopulo; levat ipse tridenti;
1.146. et vastas aperit syrtis, et temperat aequor,
1.147. atque rotis summas levibus perlabitur undas.
1.148. Ac veluti magno in populo cum saepe coorta est
1.149. seditio, saevitque animis ignobile volgus,
1.150. iamque faces et saxa volant—furor arma ministrat;
1.151. tum, pietate gravem ac meritis si forte virum quem
1.152. conspexere, silent, arrectisque auribus adstant;
1.153. ille regit dictis animos, et pectora mulcet,—
1.154. sic cunctus pelagi cecidit fragor, aequora postquam
1.155. prospiciens genitor caeloque invectus aperto
1.156. flectit equos, curruque volans dat lora secundo.
1.305. At pius Aeneas, per noctem plurima volvens,
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.
1.446. Hic templum Iunoni ingens Sidonia Dido
1.448. aerea cui gradibus surgebant limina, nexaeque
1.449. aere trabes, foribus cardo stridebat aenis.
1.450. Hoc primum in luco nova res oblata timorem
1.451. leniit, hic primum Aeneas sperare salutem
1.452. ausus, et adflictis melius confidere rebus.
1.453. Namque sub ingenti lustrat dum singula templo,
1.454. reginam opperiens, dum, quae fortuna sit urbi,
1.455. artificumque manus inter se operumque laborem
1.456. miratur, videt Iliacas ex ordine pugnas,
1.457. bellaque iam fama totum volgata per orbem,
1.458. Atridas, Priamumque, et saevum ambobus Achillem.
1.459. Constitit, et lacrimans, Quis iam locus inquit Achate,
1.461. En Priamus! Sunt hic etiam sua praemia laudi;
1.462. sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt.
1.463. Solve metus; feret haec aliquam tibi fama salutem.
1.464. Sic ait, atque animum pictura pascit ii,
1.465. multa gemens, largoque umectat flumine voltum.
1.466. Namque videbat, uti bellantes Pergama circum
1.467. hac fugerent Graii, premeret Troiana iuventus,
1.468. hac Phryges, instaret curru cristatus Achilles.
1.469. Nec procul hinc Rhesi niveis tentoria velis
1.470. adgnoscit lacrimans, primo quae prodita somno
1.471. Tydides multa vastabat caede cruentus,
1.472. ardentisque avertit equos in castra, prius quam
1.473. pabula gustassent Troiae Xanthumque bibissent.
1.474. Parte alia fugiens amissis Troilus armis,
1.475. infelix puer atque impar congressus Achilli,
1.476. fertur equis, curruque haeret resupinus ii,
1.477. lora tenens tamen; huic cervixque comaeque trahuntur
1.478. per terram, et versa pulvis inscribitur hasta.
1.479. Interea ad templum non aequae Palladis ibant
1.480. crinibus Iliades passis peplumque ferebant,
1.481. suppliciter tristes et tunsae pectora palmis;
1.482. diva solo fixos oculos aversa tenebat.
1.483. Ter circum Iliacos raptaverat Hectora muros,
1.484. exanimumque auro corpus vendebat Achilles.
1.485. Tum vero ingentem gemitum dat pectore ab imo,
1.486. ut spolia, ut currus, utque ipsum corpus amici,
1.487. tendentemque manus Priamum conspexit inermis.
1.488. Se quoque principibus permixtum adgnovit Achivis,
1.489. Eoasque acies et nigri Memnonis arma.
1.490. Ducit Amazonidum lunatis agmina peltis
1.491. Penthesilea furens, mediisque in milibus ardet,
1.492. aurea subnectens exsertae cingula mammae,
1.493. bellatrix, audetque viris concurrere virgo.
3.154. Quod tibi delato Ortygiam dicturus Apollo est,
3.155. hic canit, et tua nos en ultro ad limina mittit.
3.156. Nos te, Dardania incensa, tuaque arma secuti,
3.157. nos tumidum sub te permensi classibus aequor,
3.158. idem venturos tollemus in astra nepotes,
3.159. imperiumque urbi dabimus: tu moenia magnis
3.160. magna para, longumque fugae ne linque laborem.
3.161. Mutandae sedes: non haec tibi litora suasit
3.162. Delius, aut Cretae iussit considere Apollo.
3.163. Est locus, Hesperiam Grai cognomine dicunt,
3.164. terra antiqua, potens armis atque ubere glaebae;
3.165. Oenotri coluere viri; nunc fama minores
3.166. Italiam dixisse ducis de nomine gentem:
3.167. hae nobis propriae sedes; hinc Dardanus ortus,
3.168. Iasiusque pater, genus a quo principe nostrum.
3.169. Surge age, et haec laetus longaevo dicta parenti
3.170. haud dubitanda refer: Corythum terrasque requirat
3.171. Ausonias; Dictaea negat tibi Iuppiter arva.
3.403. Quin, ubi transmissae steterint trans aequora classes,
3.404. et positis aris iam vota in litore solves,
3.405. purpureo velare comas adopertus amictu,
3.406. ne qua inter sanctos ignis in honore deorum
3.407. hostilis facies occurrat et omina turbet.
3.433. Praeterea, si qua est Heleno prudentia, vati
3.434. si qua fides, animum si veris implet Apollo,
5.814. Unus erit tantum, amissum quem gurgite quaeres;
5.815. unum pro multis dabitur caput.
5.835. Iamque fere mediam caeli Nox humida metam
5.836. contigerat; placida laxabant membra quiete
5.837. sub remis fusi per dura sedilia nautae:
5.838. cum levis aetheriis delapsus Somnus ab astris
5.839. aëra dimovit tenebrosum et dispulit umbras,
5.840. te, Palinure, petens, tibi somnia tristia portans
5.841. insonti; puppique deus consedit in alta,
5.842. Phorbanti similis, funditque has ore loquelas:
5.843. Iaside Palinure, ferunt ipsa aequora classem;
5.844. aequatae spirant aurae; datur hora quieti.
5.845. Pone caput, fessosque oculos furare labori:
5.846. ipse ego paulisper pro te tua munera inibo.
5.847. Cui vix attollens Palinurus lumina fatur:
5.848. Mene salis placidi voltum fluctusque quietos
5.849. ignorare iubes? Mene huic confidere monstro?
5.850. Aenean credam quid enim fallacibus auris
5.851. et caelo, totiens deceptus fraude sereni?
5.852. Talia dicta dabat, clavumque affixus et haerens
5.853. nusquam amittebat, oculosque sub astra tenebat.
5.854. Ecce deus ramum Lethaeo rore madentem,
5.855. vique soporatum Stygia, super utraque quassat
5.856. tempora, cunctantique natantia lumina solvit.
5.857. Vix primos inopina quies laxaverat artus,
5.858. et super incumbens cum puppis parte revolsa,
5.859. cumque gubernaclo, liquidas proiecit in undas
5.860. praecipitem ac socios nequiquam saepe vocantem;
5.861. ipse volans tenues se sustulit ales ad auras.
5.862. Currit iter tutum non secius aequore classis,
5.863. promissisque patris Neptuni interrita fertur.
5.864. Iamque adeo scopulos Sirenum advecta subibat,
5.865. difficiles quondam multorumque ossibus albos,
5.866. tum rauca adsiduo longe sale saxa sonabant:
5.867. cum pater amisso fluitantem errare magistro
5.868. sensit, et ipse ratem nocturnis rexit in undis,
5.869. multa gemens, casuque animum concussus amici
5.870. O nimium caelo et pelago confise sereno,
5.871. nudus in ignota, Palinure, iacebis harena!6.174. inter saxa virum spumosa inmerserat unda.
6.176. praecipue pius Aeneas. Tum iussa Sibyllae,
6.177. haud mora, festit flentes, aramque sepulchri
6.178. congerere arboribus caeloque educere certant.
6.179. Itur in antiquam silvam, stabula alta ferarum;
6.180. procumbunt piceae, sonat icta securibus ilex,
6.181. fraxineaeque trabes cuneis et fissile robur
6.182. scinditur, advolvunt ingentis montibus ornos.
6.183. Nec non Aeneas opera inter talia primus
6.184. hortatur socios, paribusque accingitur armis.
6.185. Atque haec ipse suo tristi cum corde volutat,
6.186. aspectans silvam inmensam, et sic voce precatur:
6.187. Si nunc se nobis ille aureus arbore ramus
6.188. ostendat nemore in tanto, quando omnia vere
6.189. heu nimium de te vates, Misene, locuta est.
6.190. Vix ea fatus erat, geminae cum forte columbae
6.191. ipsa sub ora viri caelo venere volantes,
6.192. et viridi sedere solo. Tum maximus heros
6.193. maternas agnoscit aves, laetusque precatur:
6.194. Este duces, O, si qua via est, cursumque per auras
6.195. dirigite in lucos, ubi pinguem dives opacat
6.196. ramus humum. Tuque, O, dubiis ne defice rebus,
6.197. diva parens. Sic effatus vestigia pressit,
6.198. observans quae signa ferant, quo tendere pergant.
6.199. Pascentes illae tantum prodire volando,
6.200. quantum acie possent oculi servare sequentum.
6.201. Inde ubi venere ad fauces grave olentis Averni,
6.202. tollunt se celeres, liquidumque per aëra lapsae
6.203. sedibus optatis geminae super arbore sidunt,
6.204. discolor unde auri per ramos aura refulsit.
6.205. Quale solet silvis brumali frigore viscum
6.206. fronde virere nova, quod non sua seminat arbos,
6.207. et croceo fetu teretis circumdare truncos,
6.208. talis erat species auri frondentis opaca
6.209. ilice, sic leni crepitabat brattea vento.
6.210. Corripit Aeneas extemplo avidusque refringit
6.212. Nec minus interea Misenum in litore Teucri
6.213. flebant, et cineri ingrato suprema ferebant.
6.214. Principio pinguem taedis et robore secto
6.215. ingentem struxere pyram, cui frondibus atris
6.216. intexunt latera, et ferales ante cupressos
6.217. constituunt, decorantque super fulgentibus armis.
6.218. Pars calidos latices et aëna undantia flammis
6.219. expediunt, corpusque lavant frigentis et unguunt.
6.220. Fit gemitus. Tum membra toro defleta reponunt,
6.221. purpureasque super vestes, velamina nota,
6.222. coniciunt. Pars ingenti subiere feretro,
6.223. triste ministerium, et subiectam more parentum
6.224. aversi tenuere facem. Congesta cremantur
6.225. turea dona, dapes, fuso crateres olivo.
6.226. Postquam conlapsi cineres et flamma quievit
6.227. reliquias vino et bibulam lavere favillam,
6.228. ossaque lecta cado texit Corynaeus aëno.
6.229. Idem ter socios pura circumtulit unda,
6.230. spargens rore levi et ramo felicis olivae,
6.231. lustravitque viros, dixitque novissima verba.
6.232. At pius Aeneas ingenti mole sepulcrum
6.233. imponit, suaque arma viro, remumque tubamque,
6.234. monte sub aërio, qui nunc Misenus ab illo
6.235. dicitur, aeternumque tenet per saecula nomen.
6.296. Turbidus hic caeno vastaque voragine gurges
6.348. dux Anchisiade, nec me deus aequore mersit.
6.349. Namque gubernaclum multa vi forte revolsum,
6.350. cui datus haerebam custos cursusque regebam,
6.351. praecipitans traxi mecum. Maria aspera iuro
6.352. non ullum pro me tantum cepisse timorem,
6.353. quam tua ne, spoliata armis, excussa magistro,
6.355. Tris Notus hibernas immensa per aequora noctes
6.356. vexit me violentus aqua; vix lumine quarto
6.357. prospexi Italiam summa sublimis ab unda.
6.358. Paulatim adnabam terrae; iam tuta tenebam,
6.359. ni gens crudelis madida cum veste gravatum
6.360. prensantemque uncis manibus capita aspera montis
6.361. ferro invasisset, praedamque ignara putasset.
6.362. Nunc me fluctus habet, versantque in litore venti.
6.363. Quod te per caeli iucundum lumen et auras,
6.364. per genitorem oro, per spes surgentis Iuli,
6.365. eripe me his, invicte, malis: aut tu mihi terram
6.366. inice, namque potes, portusque require Velinos;
6.367. aut tu, si qua via est, si quam tibi diva creatrix
6.368. ostendit—neque enim, credo, sine numine divom
6.369. flumina tanta paras Stygiamque innare paludem—
6.371. sedibus ut saltem placidis in morte quiescam.
6.381. aeternumque locus Palinuri nomen habebit.
7.1. Tu quoque litoribus nostris, Aeneia nutrix,
7.2. aeternam moriens famam, Caieta, dedisti;
7.3. et nunc servat honos sedem tuus ossaque nomen
7.4. Hesperia in magna, siqua est ea gloria, signat.
7.5. At pius exsequiis Aeneas rite solutis,
7.6. aggere composito tumuli, postquam alta quierunt
7.7. aequora, tendit iter velis portumque relinquit.
7.8. Adspirant aurae in noctem nec candida cursus
7.9. Luna negat, splendet tremulo sub lumine pontus.
7.10. Proxima Circaeae raduntur litora terrae,
7.11. dives inaccessos ubi Solis filia lucos
7.12. adsiduo resonat cantu tectisque superbis
7.13. urit odoratam nocturna in lumina cedrum,
7.14. arguto tenuis percurrens pectine telas.
7.15. Hinc exaudiri gemitus iraeque leonum
7.16. vincla recusantum et sera sub nocte rudentum,
7.17. saetigerique sues atque in praesaepibus ursi
7.18. saevire ac formae magnorum ululare luporum,
7.19. quos hominum ex facie dea saeva potentibus herbis
7.20. induerat Circe in voltus ac terga ferarum.
7.21. Quae ne monstra pii paterentur talia Troes
7.22. delati in portus neu litora dira subirent,
7.23. Neptunus ventis implevit vela secundis
7.24. atque fugam dedit et praeter vada fervida vexit.
7.25. Iamque rubescebat radiis mare et aethere ab alto
7.26. Aurora in roseis fulgebat lutea bigis:
7.27. cum venti posuere omnisque repente resedit
7.28. flatus et in lento luctantur marmore tonsae.
7.29. Atque hic Aeneas ingentem ex aequore lucum
7.30. prospicit. Hunc inter fluvio Tiberinus amoeno
7.32. in mare prorumpit. Variae circumque supraque
7.33. adsuetae ripis volucres et fluminis alveo
7.34. aethera mulcebant cantu lucoque volabant.
7.35. flectere iter sociis terraeque advertere proras
7.36. imperat et laetus fluvio succedit opaco.
7.37. Nunc age, qui reges, Erato, quae tempora rerum,
7.38. quis Latio antiquo fuerit status, advena classem
7.39. cum primum Ausoniis exercitus appulit oris,
7.40. expediam et primae revocabo exordia pugnae.
7.41. tu vatem, tu, diva, mone. Dicam horrida bella,
7.42. dicam acies actosque animis in funera reges
7.43. Tyrrhenamque manum totamque sub arma coactam
7.44. Hesperiam. Maior rerum mihi nascitur ordo,
7.341. Exin Gorgoneis Allecto infecta venenis
7.342. principio Latium et Laurentis tecta tyranni
7.343. celsa petit tacitumque obsedit limen Amatae,
7.344. quam super adventu Teucrum Turnique hymenaeis
7.345. femineae ardentem curaeque iraeque coquebant.
7.346. Huic dea caeruleis unum de crinibus anguem
7.347. conicit inque sinum praecordia ad intuma subdit,
7.348. quo furibunda domum monstro permisceat omnem.
7.349. Ille inter vestes et levia pectora lapsus
7.350. volvitur attactu nullo fallitque furentem,
7.351. vipeream inspirans animam: fit tortile collo
7.352. aurum ingens coluber, fit longae taenia vittae
7.353. innectitque comas, et membris lubricus errat.
7.354. Ac dum prima lues udo sublapsa veneno
7.355. pertemptat sensus atque ossibus implicat ignem
7.356. necdum animus toto percepit pectore flammam,
7.357. mollius et solito matrum de more locuta est,
7.358. multa super nata lacrimans Phrygiisque hymenaeis:
7.359. Exsulibusne datur ducenda Lavinia Teucris,
7.360. O genitor, nec te miseret gnataeque tuique ?
7.361. Nec matris miseret, quam primo aquilone relinquet
7.362. perfidus alta petens abducta virgine praedo?
7.363. An non sic Phrygius penetrat Lacedaemona pastor
7.364. Ledaeamque Helenam Troianas vexit ad urbes ?
7.365. Quid tua sancta fides, quid cura antiqua tuorum
7.367. Si gener externa petitur de gente Latinis
7.368. idque sedet Faunique premunt te iussa parentis,
7.369. omnem equidem sceptris terram quae libera nostris
7.370. dissidet, externam reor et sic dicere divos.
7.371. Et Turno, si prima domus repetatur origo,
7.372. Inachus Acrisiusque patres mediaeque Mycenae.
7.373. His ubi nequiquam dictis experta Latinum
7.374. contra stare videt penitusque in viscera lapsum
7.375. serpentis furiale malum totamque pererrat,
7.376. tum vero infelix, ingentibus excita monstris,
7.377. immensam sine more furit lymphata per urbem.
7.378. Ceu quondam torto volitans sub verbere turbo,
7.379. quem pueri magno in gyro vacua atria circum
7.380. intenti ludo exercent; ille actus habena
7.381. curvatis fertur spatiis; stupet inscia supra
7.382. inpubesque manus, mirata volubile buxum;
7.383. dant animos plagae: non cursu segnior illo
7.384. per medias urbes agitur populosque feroces.
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.
7.406. Postquam visa satis primos acuisse furores
7.407. consiliumque omnemque domum vertisse Latini,
7.446. at iuveni oranti subitus tremor occupat artus,
7.447. deriguere oculi: tot Erinys sibilat hydris
7.448. tantaque se facies aperit; tum flammea torquens
7.449. lumina cunctantem et quaerentem dicere plura
7.450. reppulit et geminos erexit crinibus anguis
7.451. verberaque insonuit rabidoque haec addidit ore:
7.452. En ego victa situ, quam veri effeta senectus
7.456. Sic effata facem iuveni coniecit et atro
7.457. lumine fumantis fixit sub pectore taedas.
7.458. Olli somnum ingens rumpit pavor, ossaque et artus
7.459. perfundit toto proruptus corpore sudor;
7.460. arma amens fremit, arma toro tectisque requirit;
7.461. saevit amor ferri et scelerata insania belli,
7.462. ira super: magno veluti cum flamma sonore
7.463. virgea suggeritur costis undantis aëni
7.464. exsultantque aestu latices, furit intus aquaï
7.465. fumidus atque alte spumis exuberat amnis,
7.466. nec iam se capit unda, volat vapor ater ad auras.
7.566. urguet utrimque latus nemoris, medioque fragosus
7.567. dat sonitum saxis et torto vertice torrens.
7.568. Hic specus horrendum et saevi spiracula Ditis
7.569. monstrantur, ruptoque ingens Acheronte vorago
7.570. pestiferas aperit fauces, quis condita Erinys,
7.601. Mos erat Hesperio in Latio, quem protinus urbes
7.602. Albanae coluere sacrum nunc maxima rerum
7.603. Roma colit, cum prima movent in proelia Martem,
7.604. sive Getis inferre manu lacrimabile bellum
7.781. Filius ardentis haud setius aequore campi
7.782. exercebat equos curruque in bella ruebat.
7.783. Ipse inter primos praestanti corpore Turnus
7.784. vertitur arma tenens et toto vertice supra est.
7.785. Cui triplici crinita iuba galea alta Chimaeram
7.786. sustinet, Aetnaeos efflantem faucibus ignis:
7.787. tam magis illa fremens et tristibus effera flammis,
7.788. quam magis effuso crudescunt sanguine pugnae.
7.789. At levem clipeum sublatis cornibus Io
7.790. auro insignibat, iam saetis obsita, iam bos
7.791. (argumentum ingens), et custos virginis Argus
7.792. caelataque amnem fundens pater Inachus urna.
8.113. ignotas temptare vias, quo tenditis? inquit.
8.219. Hic vero Alcidae furiis exarserat atro
8.220. felle dolor: rapit arma manu nodisque gravatum
8.221. robur et aerii cursu petit ardua montis.
8.222. Tum primum nostri Cacum videre timentem
8.223. turbatumque oculis: fugit ilicet ocior Euro
8.224. speluncamque petit, pedibus timor addidit alas.
8.225. Ut sese inclusit ruptisque immane catenis
8.226. deiecit saxum, ferro quod et arte paterna
8.227. pendebat, fultosque emuniit obice postis,
8.228. ecce furens animis aderat Tirynthius omnemque
8.229. accessum lustrans huc ora ferebat et illuc,
8.230. dentibus infrendens. Ter totum fervidus ira
8.231. lustrat Aventini montem, ter saxea temptat
8.232. limina nequiquam, ter fessus valle resedit.
8.233. Stabat acuta silex, praecisis undique saxis
8.234. speluncae dorso insurgens, altissima visu,
8.235. dirarum nidis domus opportuna volucrum.
8.236. Hanc, ut prona iugo laevum incumbebat in amnem,
8.237. dexter in adversum nitens concussit et imis
8.239. inpulit, inpulsu quo maximus intonat aether
8.240. dissultant ripae refluitque exterritus amnis.
8.241. At specus et Caci detecta apparuit ingens
8.242. regia, et umbrosae penitus patuere cavernae:
8.243. non secus ac siqua penitus vi terra dehiscens
8.244. infernas reseret sedes et regna recludat
8.245. pallida, dis invisa, superque immane barathrum
8.246. cernatur, trepident inmisso lumine manes.
8.247. Ergo insperata deprensum luce repente
8.248. inclusumque cavo saxo atque insueta rudentem
8.250. advocat et ramis vastisque molaribus instat.
8.251. Ille autem, neque enim fuga iam super ulla pericli,
8.252. faucibus ingentem fumum (mirabile dictu)
8.253. evomit involvitque domum caligine caeca,
8.254. prospectum eripiens oculis, glomeratque sub antro
8.255. fumiferam noctem commixtis igne tenebris.
8.256. Non tulit Alcides animis seque ipse per ignem
8.257. praecipiti iecit saltu, qua plurimus undam
8.258. fumus agit nebulaque ingens specus aestuat atra.
8.259. Hic Cacum in tenebris incendia vana vomentem
8.260. corripit in nodum complexus et angit inhaerens
8.261. elisos oculos et siccum sanguine guttur.
8.262. Panditur extemplo foribus domus atra revolsis,
8.263. abstractaeque boves abiurataeque rapinae
8.264. caelo ostenduntur, pedibusque informe cadaver
8.265. protrahitur. Nequeunt expleri corda tuendo
8.266. terribilis oculos, voltum villosaque saetis
8.267. pectora semiferi atque extinctos faucibus ignis.
8.285. tum Salii ad cantus incensa altaria circum
8.286. populeis adsunt evincti tempora ramis,
8.287. hic iuvenum chorus, ille senum; qui carmine laudes
8.288. Herculeas et facta ferunt: ut prima novercae
8.289. monstra manu geminosque premens eliserit angues,
8.290. ut bello egregias idem disiecerit urbes,
8.291. Troiamque Oechaliamque, ut duros mille labores
8.292. rege sub Eurystheo fatis Iunonis iniquae
8.293. pertulerit. Tu nubigenas, invicte, bimembris
8.294. Hylaeeumque Pholumque, manu, tu Cresia mactas
8.295. prodigia et vastum Nemeae sub rupe leonem.
8.296. Te Stygii tremuere lacus, te ianitor Orci
8.297. ossa super recubans antro semesa cruento;
8.298. nec te ullae facies, non terruit ipse Typhoeus,
8.299. arduus arma tenens; non te rationis egentem
8.300. Lernaeus turba capitum circumstetit anguis.
8.301. Salve, vera Iovis proles, decus addite divis,
8.302. et nos et tua dexter adi pede sacra secundo.
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

1.2. predestined exile, from the Trojan shore
1.3. to Italy, the blest Lavinian strand.
1.4. Smitten of storms he was on land and sea
1.8. the city, and bring o'er his fathers' gods " '
1.9. to safe abode in Latium ; whence arose
1.10. the Latin race, old Alba's reverend lords, " '
1.50. Below th' horizon the Sicilian isle " '
1.51. just sank from view, as for the open sea
1.52. with heart of hope they sailed, and every ship
1.53. clove with its brazen beak the salt, white waves.
1.54. But Juno of her everlasting wound
1.55. knew no surcease, but from her heart of pain
1.56. thus darkly mused: “Must I, defeated, fail
1.57. of what I will, nor turn the Teucrian King
1.58. from Italy away? Can Fate oppose?
1.59. Had Pallas power to lay waste in flame
1.60. the Argive fleet and sink its mariners,
1.61. revenging but the sacrilege obscene ' "
1.62. by Ajax wrought, Oileus' desperate son? " "
1.63. She, from the clouds, herself Jove's lightning threw, " '
1.64. cattered the ships, and ploughed the sea with storms.
1.65. Her foe, from his pierced breast out-breathing fire,
1.66. in whirlwind on a deadly rock she flung.
1.67. But I, who move among the gods a queen, ' "
1.68. Jove's sister and his spouse, with one weak tribe " '
1.69. make war so long! Who now on Juno calls?
1.71. So, in her fevered heart complaining still,
1.72. unto the storm-cloud land the goddess came,
1.73. a region with wild whirlwinds in its womb,
1.74. Aeolia named, where royal Aeolus
1.75. in a high-vaulted cavern keeps control ' "
1.76. o'er warring winds and loud concourse of storms. " '
1.77. There closely pent in chains and bastions strong,
1.78. they, scornful, make the vacant mountain roar,
1.79. chafing against their bonds. But from a throne ' "
1.80. of lofty crag, their king with sceptred hand
1.81. allays their fury and their rage confines.
1.82. Did he not so, our ocean, earth, and sky
1.83. were whirled before them through the vast ie.
1.84. But over-ruling Jove, of this in fear, ' "
1.85. hid them in dungeon dark: then o'er them piled " '
1.86. huge mountains, and ordained a lawful king
1.87. to hold them in firm sway, or know what time, ' "
1.88. with Jove's consent, to loose them o'er the world. " '
1.90. “Thou in whose hands the Father of all gods
1.91. and Sovereign of mankind confides the power
1.92. to calm the waters or with winds upturn,
1.93. great Aeolus! a race with me at war
1.94. now sails the Tuscan main towards Italy,
1.95. bringing their Ilium and its vanquished powers.
1.96. Uprouse thy gales. Strike that proud navy down!
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
1.102. hall pass long, happy years, and fruitful bring ' "
1.104. Then Aeolus: “'T is thy sole task, O Queen, " '
1.105. to weigh thy wish and will. My fealty
1.106. thy high behest obeys. This humble throne
1.107. is of thy gift. Thy smiles for me obtain
1.108. authority from Jove. Thy grace concedes
1.109. my station at your bright Olympian board,
1.111. Replying thus, he smote with spear reversed ' "
1.112. the hollow mountain's wall; then rush the winds " '
1.113. through that wide breach in long, embattled line,
1.114. and sweep tumultuous from land to land: ' "
1.115. with brooding pinions o'er the waters spread, " '
1.116. east wind and south, and boisterous Afric gale
1.117. upturn the sea; vast billows shoreward roll;
1.118. the shout of mariners, the creak of cordage,
1.119. follow the shock; low-hanging clouds conceal
1.120. from Trojan eyes all sight of heaven and day; ' "
1.121. night o'er the ocean broods; from sky to sky " '
1.122. the thunders roll, the ceaseless lightnings glare;
1.123. and all things mean swift death for mortal man.
1.124. Straightway Aeneas, shuddering with amaze,
1.125. groaned loud, upraised both holy hands to Heaven,
1.126. and thus did plead: “O thrice and four times blest,
1.127. ye whom your sires and whom the walls of Troy
1.128. looked on in your last hour! O bravest son
1.129. Greece ever bore, Tydides! O that I
1.130. had fallen on Ilian fields, and given this life
1.131. truck down by thy strong hand! where by the spear
1.132. of great Achilles, fiery Hector fell,
1.133. and huge Sarpedon; where the Simois
1.134. in furious flood engulfed and whirled away
1.136. While thus he cried to Heaven, a shrieking blast
1.137. mote full upon the sail. Up surged the waves
1.138. to strike the very stars; in fragments flew
1.139. the shattered oars; the helpless vessel veered
1.140. and gave her broadside to the roaring flood,
1.141. where watery mountains rose and burst and fell.
1.142. Now high in air she hangs, then yawning gulfs ' "
1.143. lay bare the shoals and sands o'er which she drives. " '
1.144. Three ships a whirling south wind snatched and flung
1.145. on hidden rocks,—altars of sacrifice
1.146. Italians call them, which lie far from shore
1.147. a vast ridge in the sea; three ships beside
1.148. an east wind, blowing landward from the deep,
1.149. drove on the shallows,—pitiable sight,—
1.150. and girdled them in walls of drifting sand.
1.151. That ship, which, with his friend Orontes, bore
1.152. the Lycian mariners, a great, plunging wave ' "
1.153. truck straight astern, before Aeneas' eyes. " "
1.154. Forward the steersman rolled and o'er the side " '
1.155. fell headlong, while three times the circling flood
1.156. pun the light bark through swift engulfing seas.
1.305. near him, her radiant eyes all dim with tears,
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. " '
1.446. her spotted mantle was; perchance she roused ' "
1.448. So Venus spoke, and Venus' son replied: " '
1.449. “No voice or vision of thy sister fair
1.450. has crossed my path, thou maid without a name!
1.451. Thy beauty seems not of terrestrial mould,
1.452. nor is thy music mortal! Tell me, goddess, ' "
1.453. art thou bright Phoebus' sister? Or some nymph, " "
1.454. the daughter of a god? Whate'er thou art, " '
1.455. thy favor we implore, and potent aid
1.456. in our vast toil. Instruct us of what skies, ' "
1.457. or what world's end, our storm-swept lives have found! " '
1.458. Strange are these lands and people where we rove,
1.459. compelled by wind and wave. Lo, this right hand
1.461. Then Venus: “Nay, I boast not to receive
1.462. honors divine. We Tyrian virgins oft
1.463. bear bow and quiver, and our ankles white
1.464. lace up in purple buskin. Yonder lies
1.465. the Punic power, where Tyrian masters hold ' "
1.466. Agenor's town; but on its borders dwell " '
1.467. the Libyans, by battles unsubdued.
1.468. Upon the throne is Dido, exiled there ' "
1.469. from Tyre, to flee th' unnatural enmity " "
1.470. of her own brother. 'T was an ancient wrong; " '
1.471. too Iong the dark and tangled tale would be;
1.472. I trace the larger outline of her story:
1.473. Sichreus was her spouse, whose acres broad
1.474. no Tyrian lord could match, and he was-blessed ' "
1.475. by his ill-fated lady's fondest love, " '
1.476. whose father gave him her first virgin bloom
1.477. in youthful marriage. But the kingly power
1.478. among the Tyrians to her brother came,
1.479. Pygmalion, none deeper dyed in crime
1.480. in all that land. Betwixt these twain there rose
1.481. a deadly hatred,—and the impious wretch,
1.482. blinded by greed, and reckless utterly ' "
1.483. of his fond sister's joy, did murder foul " '
1.484. upon defenceless and unarmed Sichaeus,
1.485. and at the very altar hewed him down.
1.486. Long did he hide the deed, and guilefully
1.487. deceived with false hopes, and empty words,
1.488. her grief and stricken love. But as she slept, ' "
1.489. her husband's tombless ghost before her came, " '
1.490. with face all wondrous pale, and he laid bare
1.491. his heart with dagger pierced, disclosing so
1.492. the blood-stained altar and the infamy
1.493. that darkened now their house. His counsel was ' "
3.154. “Hear, chiefs and princes, what your hopes shall be!
3.155. The Isle of Crete, abode of lofty Jove,
3.156. rests in the middle sea. Thence Ida soars;
3.157. there is the cradle of our race. It boasts
3.158. a hundred cities, seats of fruitful power.
3.159. Thence our chief sire, if duly I recall
3.160. the olden tale, King Teucer sprung, who first
3.161. touched on the Trojan shore, and chose his seat
3.162. of kingly power. There was no Ilium then
3.163. nor towered Pergama; in lowly vales
3.164. their dwelling; hence the ancient worship given
3.165. to the Protectress of Mount Cybele, ' "
3.166. mother of Gods, what time in Ida's grove " '
3.167. the brazen Corybantic cymbals clang,
3.168. or sacred silence guards her mystery,
3.169. and lions yoked her royal chariot draw.
3.170. Up, then, and follow the behests divine!
3.171. Pour offering to the winds, and point your keels
3.403. by mighty Abas) graven with this line:
3.404. SPOIL OF AENEAS FROM TRIUMPHANT FOES.
3.405. Then from that haven I command them forth;
3.406. my good crews take the thwarts, smiting the sea
3.407. with rival strokes, and skim the level main.
3.433. at the portentous sight, she swooning fell
3.434. and lay cold, rigid, lifeless, till at last,
5.814. and build a town? O city of our sires!
5.815. O venerated gods from haughty foes ' "
5.835. of Priam's numerous sons, exclaimed, “Nay, nay! " '
5.836. This is no Beroe, my noble dames.
5.837. Doryclus knew her not. Behold and see
5.838. her heavenly beauty and her radiant eyes!
5.839. What voice of music and majestic mien,
5.840. what movement like a god! Myself am come
5.841. from Beroe sick, and left her grieving sore
5.842. that she, she only, had no gift to bring ' "
5.843. of mournful honor to Anchises' shade.” " '
5.844. She spoke. The women with ill-boding eyes
5.845. looked on the ships. Their doubting hearts were torn ' "
5.846. 'twixt tearful passion for the beauteous isle " '
5.847. their feet then trod, and that prophetic call
5.848. of Fate to lands unknown. Then on wide wings
5.849. oared Iris into heaven, and through the clouds
5.850. clove a vast arch of light. With wonder dazed,
5.851. the women in a shrieking frenzy rose,
5.852. took embers from the hearth-stones, stole the fires
5.853. upon the altars—faggots, branches, brands —
5.854. and rained them on the ships. The god of fire,
5.855. through thwarts and oars and bows of painted fir,
5.856. ran in unbridled flame. Swift to the tomb
5.857. of Sire Anchises, to the circus-seats,
5.858. the messenger Eumelus flew, to bring
5.859. news of the ships on fire; soon every eye
5.860. the clouds of smoke and hovering flame could see.
5.861. Ascanius, who had led with smiling brow
5.862. his troops of horse, accoutred as he was,
5.863. rode hot-haste to the turmoil of the camp,
5.864. nor could his guards restrain . “What madness now?
5.865. What is it ye would do?” he cried. “Alas!
5.866. Ill-fated women! Not our enemies,
5.867. nor the dread bulwarks of the Greek ye burn,
5.868. but all ye have to hope for. Look at me,
5.869. your own Ascanius!” His helmet then
5.870. into their midst he flung, which he had worn
5.871. for pageantry of war. Aeneas, too,
6.174. This is a task indeed, a strife supreme.
6.176. Or quenchless virtue carried to the stars,
6.177. Children of gods, have such a victory won.
6.178. Grim forests stop the way, and, gliding slow,
6.179. Cocytus circles through the sightless gloom.
6.180. But if it be thy dream and fond desire ' "
6.181. Twice o'er the Stygian gulf to travel, twice " '
6.182. On glooms of Tartarus to set thine eyes,
6.183. If such mad quest be now thy pleasure—hear
6.184. What must be first fulfilled . A certain tree
6.185. Hides in obscurest shade a golden bough,
6.186. of pliant stems and many a leaf of gold,
6.187. Sacred to Proserpine, infernal Queen.
6.188. Far in the grove it hides; in sunless vale
6.189. Deep shadows keep it in captivity.
6.190. No pilgrim to that underworld can pass
6.191. But he who plucks this burgeoned, leafy gold;
6.192. For this hath beauteous Proserpine ordained ' "
6.193. Her chosen gift to be. Whene'er it is culled, " '
6.194. A branch out-leafing in like golden gleam,
6.195. A second wonder-stem, fails not to spring.
6.196. Therefore go seek it with uplifted eyes!
6.197. And when by will of Heaven thou findest it,
6.198. Reach forth and pluck; for at a touch it yields,
6.199. A free and willing gift, if Fate ordain;
6.200. But otherwise no mortal strength avails,
6.201. Nor strong, sharp steel, to rend it from the tree. ' "
6.202. Another task awaits; thy friend's cold clay " '
6.203. Lies unentombed. Alas! thou art not ware
6.204. (While in my house thou lingerest, seeking light)
6.205. That all thy ships are by his death defiled.
6.206. Unto his resting-place and sepulchre,
6.207. Go, carry him! And sable victims bring,
6.208. In expiation, to his mournful shade.
6.209. So at the last on yonder Stygian groves,
6.210. And realms to things that breathe impassable,
6.212. Aeneas then drew forth, with downcast eyes,
6.213. From that dark cavern, pondering in his heart
6.214. The riddle of his fate. His faithful friend
6.215. Achates at his side, with paces slow,
6.216. Companioned all his care, while their sad souls
6.217. Made mutual and oft-renewed surmise
6.218. What comrade dead, what cold and tombless clay, ' "
6.219. The Sibyl's word would show. " '
6.220. But as they mused,
6.221. Behold Misenus on the dry sea-sands,
6.222. By hasty hand of death struck guiltless down!
6.223. A son of Aeolus, none better knew ' "
6.224. To waken heroes by the clarion's call, " "
6.225. With war-enkindling sound. Great Hector's friend " "
6.226. In happier days, he oft at Hector's side " '
6.227. Strode to the fight with glittering lance and horn.
6.228. But when Achilles stripped his fallen foe,
6.229. This dauntless hero to Aeneas gave
6.230. Allegiance true, in not less noble cause.
6.231. But, on a day, he chanced beside the sea
6.232. To blow his shell-shaped horn, and wildly dared
6.233. Challenge the gods themselves to rival song;
6.234. Till jealous Triton, if the tale be true,
6.235. Grasped the rash mortal, and out-flung him far
6.296. They gather up and burn the gifts of myrrh,
6.348. Ye gods! who rule the spirits of the dead!
6.349. Ye voiceless shades and silent lands of night!
6.350. 0 Phlegethon! 0 Chaos! let my song,
6.351. If it be lawful, in fit words declare
6.352. What I have heard; and by your help divine
6.353. Unfold what hidden things enshrouded lie
6.355. They walked exploring the unpeopled night, ' "
6.356. Through Pluto's vacuous realms, and regions void, " "
6.357. As when one's path in dreary woodlands winds " "
6.358. Beneath a misty moon's deceiving ray, " '
6.359. When Jove has mantled all his heaven in shade,
6.360. And night seals up the beauty of the world.
6.361. In the first courts and entrances of Hell
6.362. Sorrows and vengeful Cares on couches lie :
6.363. There sad Old Age abides, Diseases pale,
6.364. And Fear, and Hunger, temptress to all crime;
6.365. Want, base and vile, and, two dread shapes to see, ' "
6.366. Bondage and Death : then Sleep, Death's next of kin; " '
6.367. And dreams of guilty joy. Death-dealing War
6.368. Is ever at the doors, and hard thereby ' "
6.369. The Furies' beds of steel, where wild-eyed Strife " '
6.371. There in the middle court a shadowy elm
6.381. Aeneas, shuddering with sudden fear,
7.1. One more immortal name thy death bequeathed,
7.2. Nurse of Aeneas, to Italian shores,
7.3. Caieta ; there thy honor hath a home;
7.4. Thy bones a name: and on Hesperia's breast " '
7.5. Their proper glory. When Aeneas now
7.6. The tribute of sepulchral vows had paid
7.7. Beside the funeral mound, and o'er the seas " "
7.8. Stillness had fallen, he flung forth his sails,
7.9. And leaving port pursued his destined way.
7.10. Freshly the night-winds breathe; the cloudless moon
7.11. Outpours upon his path unstinted beam,
7.12. And with far-trembling glory smites the sea.
7.13. Close to the lands of Circe soon they fare, ' "
7.14. Where the Sun's golden daughter in far groves " '
7.15. Sounds forth her ceaseless song; her lofty hall
7.16. Is fragrant every night with flaring brands
7.17. of cedar, giving light the while she weaves
7.18. With shrill-voiced shuttle at her linens fine.
7.19. From hence are heard the loud lament and wrath
7.20. of lions, rebels to their linked chains
7.21. And roaring all night long; great bristly boars
7.22. And herded bears, in pinfold closely kept,
7.23. Rage horribly, and monster-wolves make moan;
7.24. Whom the dread goddess with foul juices strong
7.25. From forms of men drove forth, and bade to wear ' "
7.26. the mouths and maws of beasts in Circe's thrall. " '
7.27. But lest the sacred Trojans should endure
7.28. uch prodigy of doom, or anchor there
7.29. on that destroying shore, kind Neptune filled
7.30. their sails with winds of power, and sped them on
7.32. Now morning flushed the wave, and saffron-garbed
7.33. Aurora from her rose-red chariot beamed
7.34. in highest heaven; the sea-winds ceased to stir; ' "
7.35. a sudden calm possessed the air, and tides
7.36. of marble smoothness met the laboring oar.
7.37. Then, gazing from the deep, Aeneas saw ' "
7.38. a stretch of groves, whence Tiber 's smiling stream, " "
7.39. its tumbling current rich with yellow sands, ' "
7.40. burst seaward forth: around it and above
7.41. hore-haunting birds of varied voice and plume
7.42. flattered the sky with song, and, circling far ' "
7.43. o'er river-bed and grove, took joyful wing. " '
7.44. Thither to landward now his ships he steered,
7.341. to clasp your monarch's hand. Bear back, I pray, " '
7.342. this answer to your King: my dwelling holds
7.343. a daughter, whom with husband of her blood ' "
7.344. great signs in heaven and from my father's tomb " '
7.345. forbid to wed. A son from alien shores ' "
7.346. they prophesy for Latium 's heir, whose seed " '
7.347. hall lift our glory to the stars divine.
7.348. I am persuaded this is none but he,
7.349. that man of destiny; and if my heart
7.350. be no false prophet, I desire it so.”
7.351. Thus having said, the sire took chosen steeds
7.352. from his full herd, whereof, well-groomed and fair,
7.353. three hundred stood within his ample pale.
7.354. of these to every Teucrian guest he gave
7.355. a courser swift and strong, in purple clad
7.356. and broidered housings gay; on every breast
7.357. hung chains of gold; in golden robes arrayed,
7.358. they champed the red gold curb their teeth between.
7.359. For offering to Aeneas, he bade send
7.360. a chariot, with chargers twain of seed
7.361. ethereal, their nostrils breathing fire:
7.362. the famous kind which guileful Circe bred, ' "
7.363. cheating her sire, and mixed the sun-god's team " '
7.364. with brood-mares earthly born. The sons of Troy,
7.365. uch gifts and greetings from Latinus bearing,
7.367. But lo! from Argos on her voyage of air
7.368. rides the dread spouse of Jove. She, sky-enthroned
7.369. above the far Sicilian promontory,
7.370. pachynus, sees Dardania's rescued fleet, " "
7.371. and all Aeneas' joy. The prospect shows " '
7.372. houses a-building, lands of safe abode,
7.373. and the abandoned ships. With bitter grief
7.374. he stands at gaze: then with storm-shaken brows,
7.375. thus from her heart lets loose the wrathful word:
7.376. “O hated race! O Phrygian destinies —
7.377. to mine forevermore (unhappy me!)
7.378. a scandal and offense! Did no one die ' "
7.379. on Troy 's embattled plain? Could captured slaves " "
7.380. not be enslaved again? Was Ilium's flame " "
7.381. no warrior's funeral pyre? Did they walk safe " '
7.382. through serried swords and congregated fires?
7.383. At last, methought, my godhead might repose,
7.384. and my full-fed revenge in slumber lie.
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
7.406. my fated power. So be it! Fate has given
7.407. Lavinia for his bride. But long delays
7.446. the Gorgon poison, took her viewless way
7.447. to Latium and the lofty walls and towers
7.448. of the Laurentian King. Crouching she sate
7.449. in silence on the threshold of the bower
7.450. where Queen Amata in her fevered soul ' "
7.451. pondered, with all a woman's wrath and fear, " '
7.452. upon the Trojans and the marriage-suit
7.453. of Turnus. From her Stygian hair the fiend
7.454. a single serpent flung, which stole its way ' "
7.455. to the Queen's very heart, that, frenzy-driven, " '
7.456. he might on her whole house confusion pour.
7.457. Betwixt her smooth breast and her robe it wound
7.458. unfelt, unseen, and in her wrathful mind
7.459. instilled its viper soul. Like golden chain
7.460. around her neck it twined, or stretched along
7.461. the fillets on her brow, or with her hair
7.462. enwrithing coiled; then on from limb to limb
7.463. lipped tortuous. Yet though the venom strong
7.464. thrilled with its first infection every vein,
7.465. and touched her bones with fire, she knew it not,
7.466. nor yielded all her soul, but made her plea
7.566. thy warriors in arms! Swift sallying forth
7.567. from thy strong city-gates, on to the fray
7.568. exultant go! Assail the Phrygian chiefs ' "
7.569. who tent them by thy beauteous river's marge, " "
7.570. and burn their painted galleys! 't is the will " '
7.601. from where my sister-furies dwell! My hands
7.602. bring bloody death and war.” She spoke, and hurled
7.603. her firebrand at the hero, thrusting deep
7.604. beneath his heart her darkly smouldering flame. ' "
7.781. dread Juno's will, then with complaining prayer " '
7.782. the aged sire cried loud upon his gods ' "
7.783. and on th' unheeding air: “Alas,” said he, " '
7.784. “My doom is shipwreck, and the tempest bears
7.785. my bark away! O wretches, your own blood
7.786. hall pay the forfeit for your impious crime.
7.787. O Turnus! O abominable deed!
7.788. Avenging woes pursue thee; to deaf gods
7.789. thy late and unavailing prayer shall rise.
7.790. Now was my time to rest. But as I come ' "
7.791. close to my journey's end, thou spoilest me " '
7.792. of comfort in my death.” With this the King
8.113. white gleaming through the grove, with all her brood
8.219. and with a wide-eyed wonder I did view ' "
8.220. those Teucrian lords, Laomedon's great heir, " '
8.221. and, towering highest in their goodly throng,
8.222. Anchises, whom my warm young heart desired
8.223. to speak with and to clasp his hand in mine.
8.224. So I approached, and joyful led him home ' "
8.225. to Pheneus' olden wall. He gave me gifts " '
8.226. the day he bade adieu; a quiver rare
8.227. filled with good Lycian arrows, a rich cloak
8.228. inwove with thread of gold, and bridle reins
8.229. all golden, now to youthful Pallas given.
8.230. Therefore thy plea is granted, and my hand
8.231. here clasps in loyal amity with thine.
8.232. To-morrow at the sunrise thou shalt have
8.233. my tribute for the war, and go thy way
8.234. my glad ally. But now this festival, ' "
8.235. whose solemn rite 't were impious to delay, " '
8.236. I pray thee celebrate, and bring with thee
8.237. well-omened looks and words. Allies we are!
8.239. So saying, he bade his followers renew ' "
8.240. th' abandoned feast and wine; and placed each guest " '
8.241. on turf-built couch of green, most honoring
8.242. Aeneas by a throne of maple fair ' "
8.243. decked with a lion's pelt and flowing mane. " "
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 —
8.247. of Ceres and of Bacchus gift and toil.
8.248. While good Aeneas and his Trojans share
8.250. When hunger and its eager edge were gone,
8.251. Evander spoke: “This votive holiday,
8.252. yon tables spread and altar so divine,
8.253. are not some superstition dark and vain,
8.254. that knows not the old gods, O Trojan King!
8.255. But as men saved from danger and great fear
8.256. this thankful sacrifice we pay. Behold,
8.257. yon huge rock, beetling from the mountain wall,
8.258. hung from the cliff above. How lone and bare
8.259. the hollowed mountain looks! How crag on crag
8.260. tumbled and tossed in huge confusion lie!
8.261. A cavern once it was, which ran deep down ' "
8.262. into the darkness. There th' half-human shape " '
8.263. of Cacus made its hideous den, concealed
8.264. from sunlight and the day. The ground was wet
8.265. at all times with fresh gore; the portal grim
8.266. was hung about with heads of slaughtered men,
8.267. bloody and pale—a fearsome sight to see.
8.285. could guide the herdsmen to that cavern-door. ' "
8.286. But after, when Amphitryon's famous son, " '
8.287. preparing to depart, would from the meads
8.288. goad forth the full-fed herd, his lingering bulls
8.289. roared loud, and by their lamentable cry
8.290. filled grove and hills with clamor of farewell:
8.291. one heifer from the mountain-cave lowed back
8.292. in answer, so from her close-guarded stall ' "
8.293. foiling the monster's will. Then hadst thou seen " '
8.294. the wrath of Hercules in frenzy blaze
8.295. from his exasperate heart. His arms he seized,
8.296. his club of knotted oak, and climbed full-speed
8.297. the wind-swept hill. Now first our people saw
8.298. Cacus in fear, with panic in his eyes.
8.299. Swift to the black cave like a gale he flew,
8.300. his feet by terror winged. Scarce had he passed
8.301. the cavern door, and broken the big chains,
8.302. and dropped the huge rock which was pendent there ' "
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
9.165. of Father Tiber, harshly murmuring,
9.166. held back his flood and checked his seaward way. ' "
9.167. But Turnus' courage failed not; he alone " '
9.168. his followers roused, and with reproachful words
9.169. alone spoke forth: “These signs and prodigies
9.170. threaten the Trojan only. Jove himself
9.171. has stripped them of their wonted strength: no more
9.172. can they abide our deadly sword and fire.
9.173. The Trojan path to sea is shut. What hope
9.174. of flight is left them now? The half their cause
9.175. is fallen. The possession of this land
9.598. the bosom white as snow. Euryalus
9.599. ank prone in death; upon his goodly limbs
9.600. the life-blood ran unstopped, and low inclined
9.601. the drooping head; as when some purpled flower,
9.602. cut by the ploughshare, dies, or poppies proud
9.603. with stem forlorn their ruined beauty bow
9.604. before the pelting storm. Then Nisus flew
9.605. traight at his foes; but in their throng would find
9.606. Volscens alone, for none but Volscens stayed:
9.607. they gathered thickly round and grappled him
9.608. in shock of steel with steel. But on he plunged,
9.609. winging in ceaseless circles round his head
9.610. his lightning-sword, and thrust it through the face
9.611. of shrieking Volscens, with his own last breath
9.612. triking his foeman down; then cast himself ' "
9.613. upon his fallen comrade's breast; and there, " '
9.615. Heroic pair and blest! If aught I sing
9.616. have lasting music, no remotest age ' "
9.617. hall blot your names from honor's storied scroll: " "
9.618. not while the altars of Aeneas' line " "
9.619. hall crown the Capitol's unshaken hill, " "
9.620. nor while the Roman Father's hand sustains "
10.215. with supplication joined. Without delay
10.216. Tarchon made amity and sacred league,
10.217. uniting with his cause. The Lydian tribe,
10.218. now destined from its tyrant to be free,
10.270. oft snow-white plumes, and spurning earth he soared
10.271. on high, and sped in music through the stars.
10.272. His son with bands of youthful peers urged on
10.273. a galley with a Centaur for its prow, ' "
10.274. which loomed high o'er the waves, and seemed to hurl " '
10.275. a huge stone at the water, as the keel
10.276. ploughed through the deep. Next Ocnus summoned forth
10.277. a war-host from his native shores, the son
12.3. to keep his pledge, and with indigt eyes
12.4. gaze all his way, fierce rage implacable
12.5. wells his high heart. As when on Libyan plain
12.6. a lion, gashed along his tawny breast ' "
12.7. by the huntsman's grievous thrust, awakens him " '
12.8. unto his last grim fight, and gloriously
12.9. haking the great thews of his maned neck,
12.107. Make me no sad farewells, as I depart ' "
12.108. to the grim war-god's game! Can Turnus' hand " "
12.109. delay death's necessary coming? Go, " '
12.236. far-shining comes; Ascanius by his side—
12.237. of Roman greatness the next hope is he.
12.238. To camp they rode, where, garbed in blameless white,
12.951. on lofty rampart, or in siege below '. None |
