Fumida iamdudum latitant per tecta sorores, 4.406. diversaeque locis ignes ac lumina vitant; 4.407. dumque petunt tenebras, parvos membrana per artus 4.408. porrigitur tenuique includit bracchia pinna. 4.409. Nec qua perdiderint veterem ratione figuram 4.410. scire sinunt tenebrae. Non illas pluma levavit, 4.411. sustinuere tamen se perlucentibus alis; 4.412. conataeque loqui minimam et pro corpore vocem 4.413. emittunt, peraguntque leves stridore querellas. 4.414. Tectaque, non silvas celebrant lucemque perosae 4.415. nocte volant, seroque tenent a vespere nomen. 9.666. Fama novi centum Cretaeas forsitan urbes 9.667. implesset monstri, si non miracula nuper 9.668. Iphide mutata Crete propiora tulisset. 9.669. Proxima Cnosiaco nam quondam Phaestia regno 9.670. progenuit tellus ignotum nomine Ligdum, 9.671. ingenua de plebe virum. Nec census in illo 9.672. nobilitate sua maior, sed vita fidesque 9.673. inculpata fuit. Gravidae qui coniugis aures 9.674. vocibus his monuit, cum iam prope partus adesset: 9.675. “Quae voveam, duo sunt; minimo ut relevere dolore, 9.676. utque marem parias; onerosior altera sors est, 9.677. et vires fortuna negat. Quod abominor, ergo 9.678. edita forte tuo fuerit si femina partu, 9.679. (invitus mando: pietas, ignosce!) necetur.” 9.680. Dixerat, et lacrimis vultus lavere profusis, 9.681. tam qui mandabat, quam cui mandata dabantur. 9.682. Sed tamen usque suum vanis Telethusa maritum 9.683. sollicitat precibus, ne spem sibi ponat in arto. 9.684. Certa sua est Ligdo sententia. Iamque ferendo 9.685. vix erat illa gravem maturo pondere ventrem, 9.686. cum medio noctis spatio sub imagine somni 9.687. Inachis ante torum, pompa comitata sacrorum, 9.688. aut stetit aut visa est. Inerant lunaria fronti 9.689. cornua cum spicis nitido flaventibus auro 9.690. et regale decus. Cum qua latrator Anubis 9.691. sanctaque Bubastis variusque coloribus Apis, 9.692. quique premit vocem digitoque silentia suadet, 9.693. sistraque erant numquamque satis quaesitus Osiris 9.694. plenaque somniferis serpens peregrina venenis. 9.695. Tum velut excussam somno et manifesta videntem 9.696. sic adfata dea est: “Pars o Telethusa mearum, 9.697. pone graves curas mandataque falle mariti. 9.698. Nec dubita, cum te partu Lucina levarit, 9.699. tollere quidquid erit. Dea sum auxiliaris opemque 9.700. exorata fero, nec te coluisse quereris 9.701. ingratum numen.” Monuit thalamoque recessit. 9.702. Laeta toro surgit purasque ad sidera supplex 9.703. Cressa manus tollens, rata sint sua visa, precatur. 9.704. Ut dolor increvit, seque ipsum pondus in auras 9.705. expulit et nata est ignaro femina patre, 9.706. iussit ali mater puerum mentita: fidemque 9.707. res habuit, neque erat ficti nisi conscia nutrix. 9.708. Vota pater solvit nomenque inponit avitum: 9.709. Iphis avus fuerat. Gavisa est nomine mater, 9.710. quod commune foret nec quemquam falleret illo. 9.711. Inde incepta pia mendacia fraude latebant: 9.712. cultus erat pueri, facies, quam sive puellae, 9.713. sive dares puero, fuerat formosus uterque. 9.714. Tertius interea decimo successerat annus, 9.715. cum pater, Iphi, tibi flavam despondet Ianthen, 9.716. inter Phaestiadas quae laudatissima formae 9.717. dote fuit virgo, Dictaeo nata Teleste. 9.718. Par aetas, par forma fuit, primasque magistris 9.719. accepere artes, elementa aetatis, ab isdem. 9.720. Hinc amor ambarum tetigit rude pectus et aequum 9.721. vulnus utrique dedit. Sed erat fiducia dispar: 9.722. coniugium pactaeque exspectat tempora taedae 9.723. quamque virum putat esse, virum fore credit Ianthe; 9.724. Iphis amat, qua posse frui desperat, et auget 9.725. hoc ipsum flammas, ardetque in virgine virgo; 9.726. vixque tenens lacrimas “quis me manet exitus” inquit, 9.727. “cognita quam nulli, quam prodigiosa novaeque 9.728. cura tenet Veneris? Si di mihi parcere vellent, 9.729. parcere debuerant; si non, et perdere vellent, 9.730. naturale malum saltem et de more dedissent. 9.731. Nec vaccam vaccae, nec equas amor urit equarum: 9.732. urit oves aries, sequitur sua femina cervum. 9.733. Sic et aves coeunt, interque animalia cuncta 9.734. femina femineo conrepta cupidine nulla est. 9.735. Vellem nulla forem! Ne non tamen omnia Crete 9.736. monstra ferat, taurum dilexit filia Solis, 9.737. femina nempe marem: meus est furiosior illo, 9.738. si verum profitemur, amor! Tamen illa secuta est 9.739. spem Veneris, tamen illa dolis et imagine vaccae 9.740. passa bovem est, et erat, qui deciperetur adulter! 9.741. Huc licet e toto sollertia confluat orbe, 9.742. ipse licet revolet ceratis Daedalus alis, 9.743. quid faciet? Num me puerum de virgine doctis 9.744. artibus efficiet? num te mutabit, Ianthe? 9.745. Quin animum firmas, teque ipsa reconligis, Iphi, 9.746. consiliique inopes et stultos excutis ignes? 9.747. Quid sis nata, vide, nisi te quoque decipis ipsa, 9.748. et pete quod fas est, et ama quod femina debes! 9.749. Spes est, quae capiat, spes est, quae pascit amorem: 9.750. hanc tibi res adimit. Non te custodia caro 9.751. arcet ab amplexu nec cauti cura mariti, 9.752. non patris asperitas, non se negat ipsa roganti: 9.753. nec tamen est potienda tibi, nec, ut omnia fiant, 9.754. esse potes felix, ut dique hominesque laborent. 9.755. Nunc quoque votorum nulla est pars vana meorum, 9.756. dique mihi faciles, quidquid valuere, dederunt; 9.757. quodque ego, vult genitor, vult ipsa socerque futurus. 9.758. At non vult natura, potentior omnibus istis, 9.759. quae mihi sola nocet. Venit ecce optabile tempus, 9.760. luxque iugalis adest, et iam mea fiet Ianthe— 9.761. nec mihi continget: mediis sitiemus in undis. 9.762. Pronuba quid Iuno, quid ad haec, Hymenaee, venitis 9.763. sacra, quibus qui ducat abest, ubi nubimus ambae?” 9.764. Pressit ab his vocem. Nec lenius altera virgo 9.765. aestuat, utque celer venias, Hymenaee, precatur. 9.766. Quod petit haec, Telethusa timens modo tempora differt, 9.767. nunc ficto languore moram trahit, omina saepe 9.768. visaque causatur. Sed iam consumpserat omnem 9.769. materiam ficti, dilataque tempora taedae 9.770. institerant, unusque dies restabat. At illa 9.771. crinalem capiti vittam nataeque sibique 9.772. detrahit et passis aram complexa capillis 9.773. “Isi, Paraetonium Mareoticaque arva Pharonque 9.774. quae colis et septem digestum in cornua Nilum: 9.775. fer, precor” inquit “opem nostroque medere timori! 9.776. Te, dea, te quondam tuaque haec insignia vidi 9.777. cunctaque cognovi, sonitum comitantiaque aera 9.778. sistrorum, memorique animo tua iussa notavi. 9.779. Quod videt haec lucem, quod non ego punior, ecce 9.780. consilium munusque tuum est. Miserere duarum 9.781. auxilioque iuva!” Lacrimae sunt verba secutae. 9.782. Visa dea est movisse suas (et moverat) aras, 9.783. et templi tremuere fores, imitataque lunam 9.784. cornua fulserunt, crepuitque sonabile sistrum. 9.785. Non secura quidem, fausto tamen omine laeta 9.786. mater abit templo: sequitur comes Iphis euntem, 9.787. quam solita est, maiore gradu, nec candor in ore 9.788. permanet, et vires augentur, et acrior ipse est 9.789. vultus, et incomptis brevior mensura capillis, 9.790. plusque vigoris adest, habuit quam femina. Nam quae 9.791. femina nuper eras, puer es. Date munera templis 9.792. nec timida gaudete fide! Dant munera templis, 9.793. addunt et titulum; titulus breve carmen habebat: 9.794. DONA PUER SOLVIT QUAE FEMINA VOVERAT IPHIS 9.795. Postera lux radiis latum patefecerat orbem, 9.796. cum Venus et Iuno sociosque Hymenaeus ad ignes 9.797. conveniunt, potiturque sua puer Iphis Ianthe. 10.1. Inde per inmensum croceo velatus amictu 10.2. aethera digreditur Ciconumque Hymenaeus ad oras 10.3. tendit et Orphea nequiquam voce vocatur. 10.4. Adfuit ille quidem, sed nec sollemnia verba 10.5. nec laetos vultus nec felix attulit omen. 10.6. Fax quoque, quam tenuit, lacrimoso stridula fumo 10.7. usque fuit nullosque invenit motibus ignes. 10.8. Exitus auspicio gravior: nam nupta per herbas 10.9. dum nova naiadum turba comitata vagatur, 10.10. occidit in talum serpentis dente recepto. 10.11. Quam satis ad superas postquam Rhodopeius auras 10.12. deflevit vates, ne non temptaret et umbras, 10.13. ad Styga Taenaria est ausus descendere porta; 10.14. perque leves populos simulacraque functa sepulcro 10.15. Persephonen adiit inamoenaque regna tenentem 10.16. umbrarum dominum. Pulsisque ad carmina nervis 10.17. sic ait: “O positi sub terra numina mundi, 10.18. in quem reccidimus, quidquid mortale creamur, 10.19. si licet et falsi positis ambagibus oris 10.20. vera loqui sinitis, non huc, ut opaca viderem 10.21. Tartara, descendi, nec uti villosa colubris 10.22. terna Medusaei vincirem guttura monstri: 10.23. causa viae est coniunx, in quam calcata venenum 10.24. vipera diffudit crescentesque abstulit annos. 10.25. Posse pati volui nec me temptasse negabo: 10.26. vicit Amor. Supera deus hic bene notus in ora est, 10.27. an sit et hic, dubito. Sed et hic tamen auguror esse; 10.28. famaque si veteris non est mentita rapinae, 10.29. vos quoque iunxit Amor. Per ego haec loca plena timoris, 10.30. per chaos hoc ingens vastique silentia regni, 10.31. Eurydices, oro, properata retexite fata. 10.32. Omnia debemur vobis, paulumque morati 10.33. serius aut citius sedem properamus ad unam. 10.34. Tendimus huc omnes, haec est domus ultima, vosque 10.35. humani generis longissima regna tenetis. 10.36. Haec quoque, cum iustos matura peregerit annos, 10.37. iuris erit vestri: pro munere poscimus usum. 10.38. Quod si fata negant veniam pro coniuge, certum est 10.39. nolle redire mihi: leto gaudete duorum.” 10.40. Talia dicentem nervosque ad verba moventem 10.41. exsangues flebant animae: nec Tantalus undam 10.42. captavit refugam, stupuitque Ixionis orbis, 10.43. nec carpsere iecur volucres, urnisque vacarunt 10.44. Belides, inque tuo sedisti, Sisyphe, saxo. 10.45. Tunc primum lacrimis victarum carmine fama est 10.46. Eumenidum maduisse genas. Nec regia coniunx 10.47. sustinet oranti nec qui regit ima negare, 10.48. Eurydicenque vocant. Umbras erat illa recentes 10.49. inter et incessit passu de vulnere tardo. 10.50. Hanc simul et legem Rhodopeius accipit Orpheus, 10.51. ne flectat retro sua lumina, donec Avernas 10.52. exierit valles: aut inrita dona futura. 10.53. Carpitur acclivis per muta silentia trames, 10.54. arduus, obscurus, caligine densus opaca. 10.55. Nec procul afuerunt telluris margine summae: 10.56. hic, ne deficeret, metuens avidusque videndi 10.57. flexit amans oculos; et protinus illa relapsa est, 10.58. bracchiaque intendens prendique et prendere certans 10.59. nil nisi cedentes infelix arripit auras. 10.60. Iamque iterum moriens non est de coniuge quicquam 10.61. questa suo: quid enim nisi se quereretur amatam? 10.62. Supremumque “vale,” quod iam vix auribus ille 10.63. acciperet, dixit revolutaque rursus eodem est. 10.64. Non aliter stupuit gemina nece coniugis Orpheus, 10.65. quam tria qui timidus, medio portante catenas, 10.66. colla canis vidit, quem non pavor ante reliquit, 10.67. quam natura prior, saxo per corpus oborto; 10.68. quique in se crimen traxit voluitque videri 10.69. Olenos esse nocens, tuque, o confisa figurae, 10.70. infelix Lethaea, tuae, iunctissima quondam 10.71. pectora, nunc lapides, quos umida sustinet Ide. 10.72. Orantem frustraque iterum transire volentem 10.73. portitor arcuerat. Septem tamen ille diebus 10.74. squalidus in ripa Cereris sine munere sedit: 10.75. cura dolorque animi lacrimaeque alimenta fuere. 10.76. Esse deos Erebi crudeles questus, in altam 10.77. se recipit Rhodopen pulsumque aquilonibus Haemum. 10.78. Tertius aequoreis inclusum piscibus annum 10.79. finierat Titan, omnemque refugerat Orpheus 10.80. femineam venerem, seu quod male cesserat illi, 10.81. sive fidem dederat. Multas tamen ardor habebat 10.82. iungere se vati, multae doluere repulsae. 10.83. Ille etiam Thracum populis fuit auctor amorem 10.84. in teneros transferre mares citraque iuventam 10.85. aetatis breve ver et primos carpere flores. 10.185. in vultus, Hyacinthe, tuos. Expalluit aeque 10.196. “Laberis, Oebalide, prima fraudate iuventa,” 10.197. Phoebus ait “videoque tuum, mea crimina, vulnus. 10.198. Tu dolor es facinusque meum: mea dextera leto 10.199. inscribenda tuo est! Ego sum tibi funeris auctor. 10.200. Quae mea culpa tamen? Nisi si lusisse vocari 10.201. culpa potest, nisi culpa potest et amasse vocari. 10.202. Atque utinam merito vitam tecumque liceret 10.203. reddere! Quod quoniam fatali lege tenemur, 10.204. semper eris mecum memorique haerebis in ore. 10.205. Te lyra pulsa manu, te carmina nostra sonabunt, 10.206. flosque novus scripto gemitus imitabere nostros. 10.207. Tempus et illud erit, quo se fortissimus heros 10.208. addat in hunc florem folioque legatur eodem.” 10.722. desiluit pariterque sinum pariterque capillos 10.723. rupit et indignis percussit pectora palmis. 10.724. Questaque cum fatis “at non tamen omnia vestri 10.725. iuris erunt” dixit. “Luctus monimenta manebunt 10.726. semper, Adoni, mei, repetitaque mortis imago 10.727. annua plangoris peraget simulamina nostri. 11.1. Carmine dum tali silvas animosque ferarum 11.2. Threicius vates et saxa sequentia ducit, 11.3. ecce nurus Ciconum, tectae lymphata ferinis 11.4. pectora velleribus, tumuli de vertice cernunt 11.5. Orphea percussis sociantem carmina nervis. 11.6. E quibus una, leves iactato crine per auras, 11.7. “en,” ait “en hic est nostri contemptor!” et hastam 11.8. vatis Apollinei vocalia misit in ora, 11.9. quae foliis praesuta notam sine vulnere fecit; 11.10. alterius telum lapis est, qui missus in ipso 11.11. aere concentu victus vocisque lyraeque est 11.12. ac veluti supplex pro tam furialibus ausis 11.13. ante pedes iacuit. Sed enim temeraria crescunt 11.14. bella modusque abiit, insanaque regnat Erinys. 11.15. Cunctaque tela forent cantu mollita, sed ingens 11.16. clamor et infracto Berecyntia tibia cornu 11.17. tympanaque et plausus et Bacchei ululatus 11.18. obstrepuere sono citharae: tum denique saxa 11.19. non exauditi rubuerunt sanguine vatis. 11.20. Ac primum attonitas etiamnum voce canentis 11.21. innumeras volucres anguesque agmenque ferarum 11.22. Maenades, Orphei titulum, rapuere, theatri. 11.23. Inde cruentatis vertuntur in Orphea dextris 11.24. et coeunt ut aves, si quando luce vagantem 11.25. noctis avem cernunt. Structoque utrimque theatro 11.26. ceu matutina cervus periturus harena 11.27. praeda canum est, vatemque petunt et fronde virentes 11.28. coniciunt thyrsos non haec in munera factos. 11.29. Hae glaebas, illae direptos arbore ramos, 11.30. pars torquent silices. Neu desint tela furori, 11.31. forte boves presso subigebant vomere terram, 11.32. nec procul hinc multo fructum sudore parantes 11.33. dura lacertosi fodiebant arva coloni. 11.34. Agmine qui viso fugiunt operisque relinquunt 11.35. arma sui, vacuosque iacent dispersa per agros 11.36. sarculaque rastrique graves longique ligones. 11.37. Quae postquam rapuere ferae cornuque minaci 11.38. divulsere boves, ad vatis fata recurrunt 11.39. Tendentemque manus et in illo tempore primum 11.40. inrita dicentem nec quicquam voce moventem 11.41. sacrilegae perimunt. Perque os, pro Iuppiter! illud 11.42. auditum saxis intellectumque ferarum 11.43. sensibus in ventos anima exhalata recessit. 11.44. Te maestae volucres, Orpheu, te turba ferarum, 11.45. te rigidi silices, tua carmina saepe secutae 11.46. fleverunt silvae, positis te frondibus arbor 11.47. tonsa comas luxit. Lacrimis quoque flumina dicunt 11.48. increvisse suis, obstrusaque carbasa pullo 11.49. naides et dryades passosque habuere capillos. 11.50. Membra iacent diversa locis. Caput, Hebre, lyramque 11.51. excipis, et (mirum!) medio dum labitur amne, 11.52. flebile nescio quid queritur lyra, flebile lingua 11.53. murmurat exanimis, respondent flebile ripae. 11.54. Iamque mare invectae flumen populare relinquunt 11.55. et Methymnaeae potiuntur litore Lesbi. 11.56. Hic ferus expositum peregrinis anguis harenis 11.57. os petit et sparsos stillanti rore capillos. 11.58. Tandem Phoebus adest morsusque inferre parantem 11.59. arcet et in lapidem rictus serpentis apertos 11.60. congelat et patulos, ut erant, indurat hiatus. 11.61. Umbra subit terras et quae loca viderat ante, 11.62. cuncta recognoscit quaerensque per arva piorum 11.63. invenit Eurydicen cupidisque amplectitur ulnis. 11.64. Hic modo coniunctis spatiantur passibus ambo, 11.65. nunc praecedentem sequitur, nunc praevius anteit 11.66. Eurydicenque suam iam tutus respicit Orpheus. 11.67. Non impune tamen scelus hoc sinit esse Lyaeus, 11.68. amissoque dolens sacrorum vate suorum 11.69. protinus in silvis matres Edonidas omnes, 11.70. quae videre nefas, torta radice ligavit. 11.71. Quippe pedum digitos, in quantum est quaeque secuta, 11.72. traxit et in solidam detrusit acumina terram, 11.73. utque suum laqueis, quos callidus abdidit auceps, 11.74. crus ubi commisit volucris sensitque teneri, 11.75. plangitur ac trepidans adstringit vincula motu: 11.76. sic, ut quaeque solo defixa cohaeserat harum, 11.77. exsternata fugam frustra temptabat; at illam 11.78. lenta tenet radix exsultantemque coercet, 11.79. dumque ubi sint digiti, dum pes ubi, quaerit, et ungues, 11.80. adspicit in teretes lignum succedere suras, 11.81. et conata femur maerenti plangere dextra, 11.82. robora percussit: pectus quoque robora fiunt, 11.83. robora sunt umeri, porrectaque bracchia veros 11.84. esse putes ramos, et non fallere putando. | |

Leucothea Grais, Matuta vocabere nostris; 6.546. in portus nato ius erit omne tuo, 6.547. quem nos Portunum, sua lingua Palaemona dicet. 6.548. ite, precor, nostris aequus uterque locis!’ 6.549. annuerat, promissa fides, posuere labores, 6.550. nomina mutarunt: hic deus, illa dea est. 6.551. cur vetet ancillas accedere, quaeritis? odit, 6.552. principiumque odii, si sinat illa, canam, 6.553. una ministrarum solita est, Cadmei, tuarum 6.554. saepe sub amplexus coniugis ire tui. 6.555. improbus hanc Athamas furtim dilexit; ab illa 6.556. comperit agricolis semina tosta dari. 6.557. ipsa quidem fecisse negat, sed fama recepit. 6.558. hoc est, cur odio sit sibi serva manus, 6.559. non tamen hanc pro stirpe sua pia mater adoret: 6.560. ipsa parum felix visa fuisse parens, 6.561. alterius prolem melius mandabitis illi: 6.562. utilior Baccho quam fuit ipsa suis. 6.563. hanc tibi, quo properas? memorant dixisse, Rutili, 6.564. luce mea Marso consul ab hoste cades. 6.565. exitus accessit verbis, numenque Toleni 6.566. purpureum mixtis sanguine fluxit aquis, 6.567. proximus annus erat: Pallantide caesus eadem 6.568. Didius hostiles ingeminavit opes. 6.569. Lux eadem, Fortuna, tua est auctorque locusque; 6.570. sed superiniectis quis latet iste togis? 6.571. Servius est, hoc constat enim, sed causa latendi 6.572. discrepat et dubium me quoque mentis habet, 6.573. dum dea furtivos timide profitetur amores, 6.574. caelestemque homini concubuisse pudet 6.575. (arsit enim magno correpta cupidine regis 6.576. caecaque in hoc uno non fuit illa viro), 6.577. nocte domum parva solita est intrare fenestra; 6.578. unde Fenestellae nomina porta tenet, 6.579. nunc pudet, et voltus velamine celat amatos, 6.580. oraque sunt multa regia tecta toga. 6.581. an magis est verum post Tulli funera plebem 6.582. confusam placidi morte fuisse ducis, 6.583. nec modus ullus erat, crescebat imagine luctus, 6.584. donec eum positis occuluere togis? 6.585. tertia causa mihi spatio maiore canenda est, 6.586. nos tamen adductos intus agemus equos. 6.587. Tullia coniugio sceleris mercede parato 6.588. his solita est dictis extimulare virum: 6.589. ‘quid iuvat esse pares, te nostrae caede sororis 6.590. meque tui fratris, si pia vita placet? 6.591. vivere debuerant et vir meus et tua coniunx, 6.592. si nullum ausuri maius eramus opus. 6.593. et caput et regnum facio dictale parentis: 6.594. si vir es, i, dictas exige dotis opes. 6.595. regia res scelus est. socero cape regna necato, 6.596. et nostras patrio sanguine tingue manus.’ 6.597. talibus instinctus solio privatus in alto 6.598. sederat: attonitum volgus ad arma ruit. 6.599. hinc cruor et caedes, infirmaque vincitur aetas: 6.600. sceptra gener socero rapta Superbus habet. 6.601. ipse sub Esquiliis, ubi erat sua regia, caesus 6.602. concidit in dura sanguinulentus humo, 6.603. filia carpento patrios initura penates 6.604. ibat per medias alta feroxque vias. 6.605. corpus ut aspexit, lacrimis auriga profusis 6.606. restitit, hunc tali corripit illa sono: 6.607. ‘vadis, an expectas pretium pietatis amarum? 6.608. duc, inquam, invitas ipsa per ora rotas.’ 6.609. certa fides facti: dictus Sceleratus ab illa 6.610. vicus, et aeterna res ea pressa nota. 6.611. post tamen hoc ausa est templum, monumenta parentis, 6.612. tangere: mira quidem, sed tamen acta loquar, 6.613. signum erat in solio residens sub imagine Tulli; 6.614. dicitur hoc oculis opposuisse manum, 6.615. et vox audita est ‘voltus abscondite nostros, 6.616. ne natae videant ora nefanda meae.’ 6.617. veste data tegitur, vetat hanc Fortuna moveri 6.618. et sic e templo est ipsa locuta suo: 6.619. ‘ore revelato qua primum luce patebit 6.620.

Servius a caelo semina gentis habet. 6.635. signa dedit genitor tunc cum caput igne corusco 6.636. contigit, inque comis flammeus arsit apex. 6.637.

Now you complain, Phrygian Tithonus, abandoned by your bride, 6.474. And the vigilant Morning Star leaves the Eastern waters. 6.475. Good mothers (since the Matralia is your festival), 6.476. Go, offer the Theban goddess the golden cakes she’s owed. 6.477. Near the bridges and mighty Circus is a famous square, 6.478. One that takes its name from the statue of an ox: 6.479. There, on this day, they say, Servius with his own 6.480. Royal hands, consecrated a temple to Mother Matruta. 6.481. Bacchus, whose hair is twined with clustered grapes, 6.482. If the goddess’ house is also yours, guide the poet’s work, 6.483. Regarding who the goddess is, and why she exclude 6.484. (Since she does) female servants from the threshold 6.485. of her temple, and why she calls for toasted cakes. 6.486. Semele was burnt by Jove’s compliance: Ino 6.487. Received you as a baby, and nursed you with utmost care. 6.488. Juno swelled with rage, that Ino should raise a child 6.489. Snatched from Jove’s lover: but it was her sister’s son. 6.490. So Athamas was haunted by the Furies, and false visions, 6.491. And little Learchus died by his father’s hand. 6.492. His grieving mother committed his shade to the tomb. 6.493. And paid the honours due to the sad pyre. 6.494. Then tearing her hair in sorrow, she leapt up 6.495. And snatched you from your cradle, Melicertes. 6.496. There’s a narrow headland between two seas, 6.497. A single space attacked by twofold waves: 6.498. There Ino came, clutching her son in her frenzied grasp, 6.499. And threw herself, with him, from a high cliff into the sea. 6.500. Panope and her hundred sisters received them unharmed, 6.501. And gliding smoothly carried them through their realm. 6.502. They reached the mouth of densely eddying Tiber, 6.503. Before they became Leucothea and Palaemon. 6.504. There was a grove: known either as Semele’s or Stimula’s: 6.505. Inhabited, they say, by Italian Maenads. 6.506. Ino, asking them their nation, learned they were Arcadians, 6.507. And that Evander was the king of the place. 6.508. Hiding her divinity, Saturn’s daughter cleverly 6.509. Incited the Latian Bacchae with deceiving words: 6.510. ‘O too-easy-natured ones, caught by every feeling! 6.511. This stranger comes, but not as a friend, to our gathering. 6.512. She’s treacherous, and would learn our sacred rites: 6.513. But she has a child on whom we can wreak punishment.’ 6.514. She’d scarcely ended when the Thyiads, hair streaming 6.515. Over their necks, filled the air with their howling, 6.516. Laid hands on Ino, and tried to snatch the boy. 6.517. She invoked gods with names as yet unknown to her: 6.518. ‘Gods, and men, of this land, help a wretched mother!’ 6.519. Her cry carried to the neighbouring Aventine. 6.520. Oetaean Hercules having driven the Iberian cattle 6.521. To the riverbank, heard and hurried towards the voice. 6.522. As he arrived, the women who’d been ready for violence, 6.523. Shamefully turned their backs in cowardly flight. 6.524. ‘What are you doing here,’ said Hercules (recognising her), 6.525. ‘Sister of Bacchus’ mother? Does Juno persecute you too?’ 6.526. She told him part of her tale, suppressing the rest because of her son: 6.527. Ashamed to have been goaded to crime by the Furies. 6.528. Rumour, so swift, flew on beating wings, 6.529. And your name was on many a lip, Ino. 6.530. It’s said you entered loyal Carmentis’ home 6.531. As a guest, and assuaged your great hunger: 6.532. They say the Tegean priestess quickly made cake 6.533. With her own hands, and baked them on the hearth. 6.534. Now cakes delight the goddess at the Matralia: 6.535. Country ways pleased her more than art’s attentions. 6.536. ‘Now, O prophetess,’ she said, ‘reveal my future fate, 6.537. As far as is right. Add this, I beg, to your hospitality.’ 6.538. A pause ensued. Then the prophetess assumed divine powers, 6.539. And her whole breast filled with the presence of the god: 6.540. You’d hardly have known her then, so much taller 6.541. And holier she’d become than a moment before. 6.542. ‘I sing good news, Ino,’ she said, ‘your trials are over, 6.543. Be a blessing to your people for evermore. 6.544. You’ll be a sea goddess, and your son will inhabit ocean. 6.545. Take different names now, among your own waves: 6.546. Greeks will call you Leucothea, our people Matuta: 6.547. Your son will have complete command of harbours, 6.548. We’ll call him Portunus, Palaemon in his own tongue. 6.549. Go, and both be friends, I beg you, of our country!’ 6.550. Ino nodded, and gave her promise. Their trials were over, 6.551. They changed their names: he’s a god and she’s a goddess. 6.552. You ask why she forbids the approach of female servants? 6.553. She hates them: by her leave I’ll sing the reason for her hate. 6.554. Daughter of Cadmus, one of your maid 6.555. Was often embraced by your husband. 6.556. Faithless Athamas secretly enjoyed her: he learned 6.557. From her that you gave the farmers parched seed. 6.558. You yourself denied it, but rumour confirmed it. 6.559. That’s why you hate the service of a maid. 6.560. But let no loving mother pray to her, for her child: 6.561. She herself proved an unfortunate parent. 6.562. Better command her to help another’s child: 6.563. She was more use to Bacchus than her own. 6.564. They say she asked you, Rutilius, ‘Where are you rushing? 6.565. As consul you’ll fall to the Marsian enemy on my day.’ 6.566. Her words were fulfilled, the Tolenu 6.567. Flowed purple, its waters mixed with blood. 6.568. The following year, Didius, killed on the same 6.569. Day, doubled the enemy’s strength. 6.570. Fortuna, the same day is yours, your temple 6.571. Founded by the same king, in the same place. 6.572. And whose is that statue hidden under draped robes? 6.573. It’s Servius, that’s for sure, but different reason 6.574. Are given for the drapes, and I’m in doubt. 6.575. When the goddess fearfully confessed to a secret love, 6.576. Ashamed, since she’s immortal, to mate with a man 6.577. (For she burned, seized with intense passion for the king, 6.578. And he was the only man she wasn’t blind to), 6.579. She used to enter his palace at night by a little window: 6.580. So that the gate bears the name Fenestella. 6.581. She’s still ashamed, and hides the beloved feature 6.582. Under cloth: the king’s face being covered by a robe. 6.583. Or is it rather that, after his murder, the people 6.584. Were bewildered by their gentle leader’s death, 6.585. Their grief swelling, endlessly, at the sight 6.586. of the statue, until they hid him under robes? 6.587. I must sing at greater length of a third reason, 6.588. Though I’ll still keep my team on a tight rein. 6.589. Having secured her marriage by crime, Tullia 6.590. Used to incite her husband with words like these: 6.591. ‘What use if we’re equally matched, you by my sister’ 6.592. Murder, I by your brother’s, in leading a virtuous life? 6.593. Better that my husband and your wife had lived, 6.594. Than that we shrink from greater achievement. 6.595. I offer my father’s life and realm as my dower: 6.596. If you’re a man, go take the dower I speak of. 6.597. Crime is the mark of kingship. Kill your wife’s father, 6.598. Seize the kingdom, dip our hands in my father’s blood.’ 6.599. Urged on be such words, though a private citizen 6.600. He usurped the high throne: the people, stunned, took up arms. 6.601. With blood and slaughter the weak old man was defeated: 6.602. Tarquin the Proud snatched his father-in-law’s sceptre. 6.603. Servius himself fell bleeding to the hard earth, 6.604. At the foot of the Esquiline, site of his palace. 6.605. His daughter, driving to her father’s home, 6.606. Rode through the streets, erect and haughty. 6.607. When her driver saw the king’s body, he halted 6.608. In tears. She reproved him in these terms: 6.609. ‘Go on, or do you seek the bitter fruits of virtue? 6.610. Drive the unwilling wheels, I say, over his face.’ 6.611. A certain proof of this is Evil Street, named 6.612. After her, while eternal infamy marks the deed. 6.613. Yet she still dared to visit her father’s temple, 6.614. His monument: what I tell is strange but true. 6.615. There was a statue enthroned, an image of Servius: 6.616. They say it put a hand to its eyes, 6.617. And a voice was heard: ‘Hide my face, 6.618. Lest it view my own wicked daughter.’ 6.619. It was veiled by cloth, Fortune refused to let the robe 6.620. Be removed, and she herself spoke from her temple: 6.621. ‘The day when Servius’ face is next revealed, 6.622. Will be a day when shame is cast aside.’ 6.623. Women, beware of touching the forbidden cloth, 6.624. (It’s sufficient to utter prayers in solemn tones) 6.625. And let him who was the City’s seventh king 6.626. Keep his head covered, forever, by this veil. 6.627. The temple once burned: but the fire spared 6.628. The statue: Mulciber himself preserved his son. 6.629. For Servius’ father was Vulcan, and the lovely 6.630. Ocresia of Corniculum his mother. 6.631. Once, performing sacred rites with her in the due manner, 6.632. Tanaquil ordered her to pour wine on the garlanded hearth: 6.633. There was, or seemed to be, the form of a male organ 6.634. In the ashes: the shape was really there in fact. 6.635. The captive girl sat on the hearth, as commanded: 6.636. She conceived Servius, born of divine seed. 6.637. His father showed his paternity by touching the child’ 6.638. Head with fire, and a cap of flames glowed on his hair. 6.639. And Livia, this day dedicated a magnificent shrine to you, 6.640. Concordia, that she offered to her dear husband. 6.641. Learn this, you age to come: where Livia’s Colonnade 6.642. Now stands, there was once a vast palace. 6.643. A site that was like a city: it occupied a space 6.644. Larger than that of many a walled town. 6.645. It was levelled to the soil, not because of its owner’s treason, 6.646. But because its excess was considered harmful. 6.647. Caesar counteced the demolition of such a mass, 6.648. Destroying its great wealth to which he was heir. |
