She found Helen in the hall, where she was weaving a great purple web of double fold, and thereon was broidering many battles of the horse-taming Trojans and the brazen-coated Achaeans, that for her sake they had endured at the hands of Ares. Close to her side then came Iris, swift of foot, and spake to her, saying: 3.126.

Come hither, dear lady, that thou mayest behold the wondrous doings of the horse-taming Trojans and the brazen-coated Achaeans.

6.14. Daedalus, ut fama est, fugiens Minoïa regna, 6.15. praepetibus pennis ausus se credere caelo, 6.16. insuetum per iter gelidas enavit ad Arctos, 6.17. Chalcidicaque levis tandem super adstitit arce. 6.18. Redditus his primum terris, tibi, Phoebe, sacravit 6.19. remigium alarum, posuitque immania templa. 6.20. In foribus letum Androgeo: tum pendere poenas 6.21. Cecropidae iussi—miserum!—septena quotannis 6.22. corpora natorum; stat ductis sortibus urna. 6.23. Contra elata mari respondet Gnosia tellus: 6.24. hic crudelis amor tauri, suppostaque furto 6.25. Pasiphaë, mixtumque genus prolesque biformis 6.26. Minotaurus inest, Veneris monumenta nefandae; 6.27. hic labor ille domus et inextricabilis error; 6.28. magnum reginae sed enim miseratus amorem 6.29. Daedalus ipse dolos tecti ambagesque resolvit, 6.30. caeca regens filo vestigia. Tu quoque magnam 6.31. partem opere in tanto, sineret dolor, Icare, haberes. 6.32. Bis conatus erat casus effingere in auro; 6.33. bis patriae cecidere manus. Quin protinus omnia 6.34. perlegerent oculis, ni iam praemissus Achates 6.35. adforet, atque una Phoebi Triviaeque sacerdos, 6.36. Deiphobe Glauci, fatur quae talia regi: 6.37. Non hoc ista sibi tempus spectacula poscit; 6.38. nunc grege de intacto septem mactare iuvencos 6.40. Talibus adfata Aenean (nec sacra morantur 6.41. iussa viri), Teucros vocat alta in templa sacerdos. 6.42. Excisum Euboicae latus ingens rupis in antrum, 6.43. quo lati ducunt aditus centum, ostia centum; 6.44. unde ruunt totidem voces, responsa Sibyllae. 6.45. Ventum erat ad limen, cum virgo. Poscere fata 6.46. tempus ait; deus, ecce, deus! Cui talia fanti 6.47. ante fores subito non voltus, non color unus, 6.48. non comptae mansere comae; sed pectus anhelum, 6.49. et rabie fera corda tument; maiorque videri, 6.50. nec mortale sos, adflata est numine quando 6.51. iam propiore dei. Cessas in vota precesque, 6.52. Tros ait Aenea? Cessas? Neque enim ante dehiscent 6.53. attonitae magna ora domus. Et talia fata 6.54. conticuit. Gelidus Teucris per dura cucurrit 6.55. ossa tremor, funditque preces rex pectore ab imo: 6.56. Phoebe, graves Troiae semper miserate labores, 6.57. Dardana qui Paridis direxti tela manusque 6.58. corpus in Aeacidae, magnas obeuntia terras 6.59. tot maria intravi duce te, penitusque repostas 6.60. Massylum gentes praetentaque Syrtibus arva, 6.61. iam tandem Italiae fugientis prendimus oras; 6.62. hac Troiana tenus fuerit Fortuna secuta. 6.63. Vos quoque Pergameae iam fas est parcere genti, 6.64. dique deaeque omnes quibus obstitit Ilium et ingens 6.65. gloria Dardaniae. Tuque, O sanctissima vates, 6.66. praescia venturi, da, non indebita posco 6.67. regna meis fatis, Latio considere Teucros 6.68. errantisque deos agitataque numina Troiae. 6.69. Tum Phoebo et Triviae solido de marmore templum 6.70. instituam, festosque dies de nomine Phoebi. 6.71. Te quoque magna manent regnis penetralia nostris: 6.72. hic ego namque tuas sortes arcanaque fata, 6.73. dicta meae genti, ponam, lectosque sacrabo, 6.74. alma, viros. Foliis tantum ne carmina manda, 6.75. ne turbata volent rapidis ludibria ventis; 6.76. ipsa canas oro. Finem dedit ore loquendi. 6.77. At, Phoebi nondum patiens, immanis in antro 6.78. bacchatur vates, magnum si pectore possit 6.79. excussisse deum; tanto magis ille fatigat 6.80. os rabidum, fera corda domans, fingitque premendo. 6.81. Ostia iamque domus patuere ingentia centum 6.82. sponte sua, vatisque ferunt responsa per auras: 6.83. O tandem magnis pelagi defuncte periclis! 6.84. Sed terrae graviora manent. In regna Lavini 6.85. Dardanidae venient; mitte hanc de pectore curam; 6.86. sed non et venisse volent. Bella, horrida bella, 6.87. et Thybrim multo spumantem sanguine cerno. 6.88. Non Simois tibi, nec Xanthus, nec Dorica castra 6.89. defuerint; alius Latio iam partus Achilles, 6.90. natus et ipse dea; nec Teucris addita Iuno 6.91. usquam aberit; cum tu supplex in rebus egenis 6.92. quas gentes Italum aut quas non oraveris urbes! 6.93. Causa mali tanti coniunx iterum hospita Teucris 6.94. externique iterum thalami. 6.95. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito, 6.96. qua tua te Fortuna sinet. Via prima salutis, 6.97. quod minime reris, Graia pandetur ab urbe. 6.98. Talibus ex adyto dictis Cumaea Sibylla 6.99. horrendas canit ambages antroque remugit, 6.100. obscuris vera involvens: ea frena furenti 6.101. concutit, et stimulos sub pectore vertit Apollo. 6.102. Ut primum cessit furor et rabida ora quierunt, 6.103. incipit Aeneas heros: Non ulla laborum, 6.104. O virgo, nova mi facies inopinave surgit; 6.105. omnia praecepi atque animo mecum ante peregi. 6.333. Cernit ibi maestos et mortis honore carentes 6.334. Leucaspim et Lyciae ductorem classis Oronten, 6.335. quos, simul ab Troia ventosa per aequora vectos, 6.336. obruit Auster, aqua involvens navemque virosque. 6.337. Ecce gubernator sese Palinurus agebat, 6.338. qui Libyco nuper cursu, dum sidera servat, 6.339. exciderat puppi mediis effusus in undis. 6.340. Hunc ubi vix multa maestum cognovit in umbra, 6.341. sic prior adloquitur: Quis te, Palinure, deorum 6.342. eripuit nobis, medioque sub aequore mersit? 6.343. Dic age. Namque mihi, fallax haud ante repertus, 6.344. hoc uno responso animum delusit Apollo, 6.345. qui fore te ponto incolumem, finesque canebat 6.346. venturum Ausonios. En haec promissa fides est? 6.347. Ille autem: Neque te Phoebi cortina fefellit, 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, 6.354. deficeret tantis navis surgentibus undis. 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— 6.370. da dextram misero, et tecum me tolle per undas, 6.371. sedibus ut saltem placidis in morte quiescam. 6.372. Talia fatus erat, coepit cum talia vates: 6.373. Unde haec, o Palinure, tibi tam dira cupido? 6.374. Tu Stygias inhumatus aquas amnemque severum 6.375. Eumenidum aspicies, ripamve iniussus adibis? 6.376. Desine fata deum flecti sperare precando. 6.377. Sed cape dicta memor, duri solatia casus. 6.378. Nam tua finitimi, longe lateque per urbes 6.379. prodigiis acti caelestibus, ossa piabunt, 6.380. et statuent tumulum, et tumulo sollemnia mittent, 6.381. aeternumque locus Palinuri nomen habebit. 6.382. His dictis curae emotae, pulsusque parumper 6.383. corde dolor tristi: gaudet cognomine terrae. 6.384. Ergo iter inceptum peragunt fluvioque propinquant. 6.385. Navita quos iam inde ut Stygia prospexit ab unda 6.386. per tacitum nemus ire pedemque advertere ripae, 6.387. sic prior adgreditur dictis, atque increpat ultro: 6.388. Quisquis es, armatus qui nostra ad flumina tendis, 6.389. fare age, quid venias, iam istinc, et comprime gressum. 6.390. Umbrarum hic locus est, somni noctisque soporae; 6.391. corpora viva nefas Stygia vectare carina. 6.392. Nec vero Alciden me sum laetatus euntem 6.393. accepisse lacu, nec Thesea Pirithoumque, 6.394. dis quamquam geniti atque invicti viribus essent. 6.395. Tartareum ille manu custodem in vincla petivit, 6.396. ipsius a solio regis, traxitque trementem; 6.397. hi dominam Ditis thalamo deducere adorti. 6.398. Quae contra breviter fata est Amphrysia vates: 6.399. Nullae hic insidiae tales; absiste moveri; 6.400. nec vim tela ferunt; licet ingens ianitor antro 6.401. aeternum latrans exsanguis terreat umbras, 6.402. casta licet patrui servet Proserpina limen. 6.403. Troius Aeneas, pietate insignis et armis, 6.404. ad genitorem imas Erebi descendit ad umbras. 6.405. Si te nulla movet tantae pietatis imago, 6.406. at ramum hunc (aperit ramum, qui veste latebat) 6.407. adgnoscas. Tumida ex ira tum corda residunt. 6.408. Nec plura his. Ille admirans venerabile donum 6.409. fatalis virgae, longo post tempore visum, 6.410. caeruleam advertit puppim, ripaeque propinquat. 6.411. Inde alias animas, quae per iuga longa sedebant, 6.412. deturbat, laxatque foros; simul accipit alveo 6.413. ingentem Aenean. Gemuit sub pondere cymba 6.414. sutilis, et multam accepit rimosa paludem. 6.415. Tandem trans fluvium incolumis vatemque virumque 6.416. informi limo glaucaque exponit in ulva. 6.417. Cerberus haec ingens latratu regna trifauci 6.418. personat, adverso recubans immanis in antro. 6.419. Cui vates, horrere videns iam colla colubris, 6.420. melle soporatam et medicatis frugibus offam 6.421. obicit. Ille fame rabida tria guttura pandens 6.422. corripit obiectam, atque immania terga resolvit 6.423. fusus humi, totoque ingens extenditur antro. 6.424. Occupat Aeneas aditum custode sepulto, 6.425. evaditque celer ripam inremeabilis undae. 6.426. Continuo auditae voces, vagitus et ingens, 6.427. infantumque animae flentes in limine primo, 6.428. quos dulcis vitae exsortes et ab ubere raptos 6.429. abstulit atra dies et funere mersit acerbo; 6.430. hos iuxta falso damnati crimine mortis. 6.431. Nec vero hae sine sorte datae, sine iudice, sedes: 6.432. quaesitor Minos urnam movet; ille silentum 6.433. conciliumque vocat vitasque et crimina discit. 6.434. Proxuma deinde tenent maesti loca, qui sibi letum 6.435. insontes peperere manu, lucemque perosi 6.436. proiecere animas. Quam vellent aethere in alto 6.437. nunc et pauperiem et duros perferre labores! 6.438. Fas obstat, tristisque palus inamabilis undae 6.439. alligat, et noviens Styx interfusa coërcet. 6.440. Nec procul hinc partem fusi monstrantur in omnem 6.441. lugentes campi: sic illos nomine dicunt. 6.442. Hic, quos durus amor crudeli tabe peredit, 6.443. secreti celant calles et myrtea circum 6.444. silva tegit; curae non ipsa in morte relinquunt. 6.445. His Phaedram Procrimque locis, maestamque Eriphylen 6.446. crudelis nati monstrantem volnera, cernit, 6.447. Evadnenque et Pasiphaën; his Laodamia 6.448. it comes, et iuvenis quondam, nunc femina, Caeneus, 6.449. rursus et in veterem fato revoluta figuram. 6.450. Inter quas Phoenissa recens a volnere Dido 6.451. errabat silva in magna; quam Troius heros 6.452. ut primum iuxta stetit adgnovitque per umbras 6.453. obscuram, qualem primo qui surgere mense 6.454. aut videt, aut vidisse putat per nubila lunam, 6.455. demisit lacrimas, dulcique adfatus amore est: 6.456. Infelix Dido, verus mihi nuntius ergo 6.457. venerat exstinctam, ferroque extrema secutam? 6.458. Funeris heu tibi causa fui? Per sidera iuro, 6.459. per superos, et si qua fides tellure sub ima est, 6.460. invitus, regina, tuo de litore cessi. 6.461. Sed me iussa deum, quae nunc has ire per umbras, 6.462. per loca senta situ cogunt noctemque profundam, 6.463. imperiis egere suis; nec credere quivi 6.464. hunc tantum tibi me discessu ferre dolorem. 6.465. Siste gradum, teque aspectu ne subtrahe nostro. 6.466. Quem fugis? Extremum fato, quod te adloquor, hoc est. 6.467. Talibus Aeneas ardentem et torva tuentem 6.468. lenibat dictis animum, lacrimasque ciebat. 6.469. Illa solo fixos oculos aversa tenebat, 6.470. nec magis incepto voltum sermone movetur, 6.471. quam si dura silex aut stet Marpesia cautes. 6.472. tandem corripuit sese, atque inimica refugit 6.473. in nemus umbriferum, coniunx ubi pristinus illi 6.474. respondet curis aequatque Sychaeus amorem. 6.475. Nec minus Aeneas, casu concussus iniquo, 6.476. prosequitur lacrimis longe, et miseratur euntem. 6.477. Inde datum molitur iter. Iamque arva tenebant 6.478. ultima, quae bello clari secreta frequentant. 6.479. Hic illi occurrit Tydeus, hic inclutus armis 6.480. Parthenopaeus et Adrasti pallentis imago; 6.481. hic multum fleti ad superos belloque caduci 6.482. Dardanidae, quos ille omnes longo ordine cernens 6.483. ingemuit, Glaucumque Medontaque Thersilochumque, 6.484. tris Antenoridas, Cererique sacrum Polyphoeten, 6.485. Idaeumque, etiam currus, etiam arma tenentem. 6.486. circumstant animae dextra laevaque frequentes; 6.487. nec vidisse semel satis est; iuvat usque morari, 6.488. et conferre gradum, et veniendi discere causas. 6.489. At Danaum proceres Agamemnoniaeque phalanges 6.490. ut videre virum fulgentiaque arma per umbras, 6.491. ingenti trepidare metu; pars vertere terga, 6.492. ceu quondam petiere rates; pars tollere vocem 6.493. exiguam, inceptus clamor frustratur hiantes. 6.494. Atque hic Priamiden laniatum corpore toto 6.495. Deiphobum videt et lacerum crudeliter ora, 6.496. ora manusque ambas, populataque tempora raptis 6.497. auribus, et truncas inhonesto volnere nares. 6.498. Vix adeo adgnovit pavitantem et dira tegentem 6.499. supplicia, et notis compellat vocibus ultro: 6.500. Deiphobe armipotens, genus alto a sanguine Teucri 6.501. quis tam crudeles optavit sumere poenas? 6.502. Cui tantum de te licuit? Mihi fama suprema 6.503. nocte tulit fessum vasta te caede Pelasgum 6.504. procubuisse super confusae stragis acervum. 6.505. Tunc egomet tumulum Rhoeteo litore iem 6.506. constitui, et magna Manes ter voce vocavi. 6.507. Nomen et arma locum servant; te, amice, nequivi 6.508. conspicere, et patria decedens ponere terra. 6.509. Ad quae Priamides: Nihil O tibi amice relictum; 6.510. omnia Deiphobo solvisti et funeris umbris. 6.511. Sed me fata mea et scelus exitiale Lacaenae 6.512. his mersere malis; illa haec monumenta reliquit. 6.513. Namque ut supremam falsa inter gaudia noctem 6.514. egerimus, nosti; et nimium meminisse necesse est. 6.515. Cum fatalis equus saltu super ardua venit 6.516. Pergama, et armatum peditem gravis attulit alvo, 6.517. illa, chorum simulans, evantes orgia circum 6.518. ducebat Phrygias; flammam media ipsa tenebat 6.519. ingentem, et summa Danaos ex arce vocabat. 6.520. Tum me, confectum curis somnoque gravatum, 6.521. infelix habuit thalamus, pressitque iacentem 6.522. dulcis et alta quies placidaeque simillima morti. 6.523. Egregia interea coniunx arma omnia tectis 6.524. amovet, et fidum capiti subduxerat ensem; 6.525. intra tecta vocat Menelaum, et limina pandit, 6.526. scilicet id magnum sperans fore munus amanti, 6.527. et famam exstingui veterum sic posse malorum. 6.528. Quid moror? Inrumpunt thalamo; comes additur una 6.529. hortator scelerum Aeolides. Di, talia Grais 6.530. instaurate, pio si poenas ore reposco! 6.531. Sed te qui vivum casus, age, fare vicissim, 6.532. attulerint. Pelagine venis erroribus actus, 6.533. an monitu divom? An quae te Fortuna fatigat, 6.534. ut tristes sine sole domos, loca turbida, adires? 6.535. Hac vice sermonum roseïs Aurora quadrigis 6.536. iam medium aetherio cursu traiecerat axem; 6.537. et fors omne datum traherent per talia tempus; 6.538. sed comes admonuit, breviterque adfata Sibylla est: 6.539. Nox ruit, Aenea; nos flendo ducimus horas. 6.540. Hic locus est, partes ubi se via findit in ambas: 6.541. dextera quae Ditis magni sub moenia tendit, 6.542. hac iter Elysium nobis; at laeva malorum 6.543. exercet poenas, et ad impia Tartara mittit. 6.544.

Tantum effatus, et in verbo vestigia torsit. 6.640. Largior hic campos aether et lumine vestit 6.752. Dixerat Anchises, natumque unaque Sibyllam 6.753. conventus trahit in medios turbamque sotem, 6.754. et tumulum capit, unde omnes longo ordine possit 6.755. adversos legere, et venientum discere vultus. 6.756. Nunc age, Dardaniam prolem quae deinde sequatur 6.757. gloria, qui maneant Itala de gente nepotes, 6.758. inlustris animas nostrumque in nomen ituras, 6.759. expediam dictis, et te tua fata docebo. 6.760. Ille, vides, pura iuvenis qui nititur hasta, 6.761. proxuma sorte tenet lucis loca, primus ad auras 6.762. aetherias Italo commixtus sanguine surget, 6.763. silvius, Albanum nomen, tua postuma proles, 6.764. quem tibi longaevo serum Lavinia coniunx 6.765. educet silvis regem regumque parentem, 6.766. unde genus Longa nostrum dominabitur Alba. 6.767.

Pometios Castrumque Inui Bolamque Coramque. 6.776. Haec tum nomina erunt, nunc sunt sine nomine terrae. 6.777. Quin et avo comitem sese Mavortius addet 6.778. Romulus, Assaraci quem sanguinis Ilia mater 6.779. educet. Viden, ut geminae stant vertice cristae, 6.780. et pater ipse suo superum iam signat honore? 6.781. En, huius, nate, auspiciis illa incluta Roma 6.782. imperium terris, animos aequabit Olympo, 6.783. septemque una sibi muro circumdabit arces, 6.784. felix prole virum: qualis Berecyntia mater 6.785. invehitur curru Phrygias turrita per urbes, 6.786. laeta deum partu, centum complexa nepotes, 6.787. omnes caelicolas, omnes supera alta tenentes. 6.788. Huc geminas nunc flecte acies, hanc aspice gentem 6.789. Romanosque tuos. Hic Caesar et omnis Iuli 6.790. progenies magnum caeli ventura sub axem. 6.791. Hic vir, hic est, tibi quem promitti saepius audis, 6.792. Augustus Caesar, Divi genus, aurea condet 6.793. saecula qui rursus Latio regnata per arva 6.794.

Huius in adventum iam nunc et Caspia regna 6.799. responsis horrent divom et Maeotia tellus, 6.800. et septemgemini turbant trepida ostia Nili. 6.801. Nec vero Alcides tantum telluris obivit, 6.802. fixerit aeripedem cervam licet, aut Erymanthi 6.803. pacarit nemora, et Lernam tremefecerit arcu; 6.804. nec, qui pampineis victor iuga flectit habenis, 6.805. Liber, agens celso Nysae de vertice tigres. 6.806. Et dubitamus adhuc virtute extendere vires, 6.807. aut metus Ausonia prohibet consistere terra? 6.808. Quis procul ille autem ramis insignis olivae 6.809. sacra ferens? Nosco crines incanaque menta 6.810. regis Romani, primus qui legibus urbem 6.811. fundabit, Curibus parvis et paupere terra 6.812. missus in imperium magnum. Cui deinde subibit, 6.813. otia qui rumpet patriae residesque movebit 6.814. Tullus in arma viros et iam desueta triumphis 6.815. agmina. Quem iuxta sequitur iactantior Ancus, 6.816. nunc quoque iam nimium gaudens popularibus auris. 6.817. Vis et Tarquinios reges, animamque superbam 6.818. ultoris Bruti, fascesque videre receptos? 6.819. Consulis imperium hic primus saevasque secures 6.820. accipiet, natosque pater nova bella moventes 6.821. ad poenam pulchra pro libertate vocabit. 6.822. Infelix, utcumque ferent ea facta minores, 6.823. vincet amor patriae laudumque immensa cupido. 6.824. Quin Decios Drusosque procul saevumque securi 6.825. aspice Torquatum et referentem signa Camillum. 6.826. Illae autem, paribus quas fulgere cernis in armis, 6.827. concordes animae nunc et dum nocte premuntur, 6.828. heu quantum inter se bellum, si lumina vitae 6.829. attigerint, quantas acies stragemque ciebunt! 6.830. Aggeribus socer Alpinis atque arce Monoeci 6.831. descendens, gener adversis instructus Eois. 6.832. Ne, pueri, ne tanta animis adsuescite bella, 6.833. neu patriae validas in viscera vertite vires; 6.834. tuque prior, tu parce, genus qui ducis Olympo, 6.835. proice tela manu, sanguis meus!— 6.836. Ille triumphata Capitolia ad alta Corintho 6.837. victor aget currum, caesis insignis Achivis. 6.838. Eruet ille Argos Agamemnoniasque Mycenas, 6.839. ipsumque Aeaciden, genus armipotentis Achilli, 6.840. ultus avos Troiae, templa et temerata Minervae. 6.841. Quis te, magne Cato, tacitum, aut te, Cosse, relinquat? 6.842. Quis Gracchi genus, aut geminos, duo fulmina belli, 6.843. Scipiadas, cladem Libyae, parvoque potentem 6.844. Fabricium vel te sulco Serrane, serentem? 6.845. quo fessum rapitis, Fabii? Tu Maxumus ille es, 6.846. unus qui nobis cunctando restituis rem. 6.847. Excudent alii spirantia mollius aera, 6.848. credo equidem, vivos ducent de marmore voltus, 6.849. orabunt causas melius, caelique meatus 6.850. describent radio, et surgentia sidera dicent: 6.851. tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento; 6.852. hae tibi erunt artes; pacisque imponere morem, 6.853. parcere subiectis, et debellare superbos. 6.854. Sic pater Anchises, atque haec mirantibus addit: 6.855. Aspice, ut insignis spoliis Marcellus opimis 6.856. ingreditur, victorque viros supereminet omnes! 6.857. Hic rem Romanam, magno turbante tumultu, 6.858. sistet, eques sternet Poenos Gallumque rebellem, 6.859. tertiaque arma patri suspendet capta Quirino. 6.860. Atque hic Aeneas; una namque ire videbat 6.861. egregium forma iuvenem et fulgentibus armis, 6.862. sed frons laeta parum, et deiecto lumina voltu: 6.863. Quis, pater, ille, virum qui sic comitatur euntem? 6.864. Filius, anne aliquis magna de stirpe nepotum? 6.865. Quis strepitus circa comitum! Quantum instar in ipso! 6.866. Sed nox atra caput tristi circumvolat umbra. 6.867. Tum pater Anchises, lacrimis ingressus obortis: 6.868. O gnate, ingentem luctum ne quaere tuorum; 6.869. ostendent terris hunc tantum fata, neque ultra 6.870. esse sinent. Nimium vobis Romana propago 6.871. visa potens, Superi, propria haec si dona fuissent. 6.872. Quantos ille virum magnam Mavortis ad urbem 6.873. campus aget gemitus, vel quae, Tiberine, videbis 6.874. funera, cum tumulum praeterlabere recentem! 6.875. Nec puer Iliaca quisquam de gente Latinos 6.876. in tantum spe tollet avos, nec Romula quondam 6.877. ullo se tantum tellus iactabit alumno. 6.878. Heu pietas, heu prisca fides, invictaque bello 6.879. dextera! Non illi se quisquam impune tulisset 6.880. obvius armato, seu cum pedes iret in hostem, 6.881. seu spumantis equi foderet calcaribus armos. 6.882. Heu, miserande puer, si qua fata aspera rumpas, 6.883. tu Marcellus eris. Manibus date lilia plenis, 6.884. purpureos spargam flores, animamque nepotis 6.885. his saltem adcumulem donis, et fungar ii 6.886. munere—Sic tota passim regione vagantur 6.887. aëris in campis latis, atque omnia lustrant. 6.888. Quae postquam Anchises natum per singula duxit, 6.889. incenditque animum famae venientis amore, 6.890. exin bella viro memorat quae deinde gerenda, 6.891. Laurentisque docet populos urbemque Latini, 6.892. et quo quemque modo fugiatque feratque laborem. 8.625. hastamque et clipei non enarrabile textum. 8.714. At Caesar, triplici invectus Romana triumpho 8.715. moenia, dis Italis votum inmortale sacrabat, 8.716. maxuma tercentum totam delubra per urbem. 8.717. Laetitia ludisque viae plausuque fremebant; 8.718. omnibus in templis matrum chorus, omnibus arae; 8.719. ante aras terram caesi stravere iuvenci. 8.720. Ipse, sedens niveo candentis limine Phoebi, 8.721. dona recognoscit populorum aptatque superbis 8.722. postibus; incedunt victae longo ordine gentes, 8.723. quam variae linguis, habitu tam vestis et armis. 8.724. Hic Nomadum genus et discinctos Mulciber Afros, 8.725. hic Lelegas Carasque sagittiferosque Gelonos 8.726. finxerat; Euphrates ibat iam mollior undis, 8.727. extremique hominum Morini, Rhenusque bicornis, 8.728. indomitique Dahae, et pontem indignatus Araxes. 8.729. Talia per clipeum Volcani, dona parentis, 8.730. miratur rerumque ignarus imagine gaudet, 8.731. attollens umero famamque et fata nepotum. 6.14. The templed hill where lofty Phoebus reigns, 6.15. And that far-off, inviolable shrine 6.16. of dread Sibylla, in stupendous cave, 6.17. O'er whose deep soul the god of Delos breathes 6.18. Prophetic gifts, unfolding things to come. 6.20. Here Daedalus, the ancient story tells, 6.21. Escaping Minos' power, and having made 6.22. Hazard of heaven on far-mounting wings, 6.23. Floated to northward, a cold, trackless way, 6.24. And lightly poised, at last, o'er Cumae 's towers. 6.25. Here first to earth come down, he gave to thee 6.26. His gear of wings, Apollo! and ordained 6.27. Vast temples to thy name and altars fair. 6.28. On huge bronze doors Androgeos' death was done; 6.29. And Cecrops' children paid their debt of woe, 6.30. Where, seven and seven,—0 pitiable sight!— 6.31. The youths and maidens wait the annual doom, 6.32. Drawn out by lot from yonder marble urn. 6.33. Beyond, above a sea, lay carven Crete :— 6.34. The bull was there; the passion, the strange guile; 6.35. And Queen Pasiphae's brute-human son, 6.36. The Minotaur—of monstrous loves the sign. 6.37. Here was the toilsome, labyrinthine maze, 6.38. Where, pitying love-lorn Ariadne's tears, 6.39. The crafty Daedalus himself betrayed 6.40. The secret of his work; and gave the clue 6.41. To guide the path of Theseus through the gloom. 6.42. 0 Icarus, in such well-graven scene 6.43. How proud thy place should be! but grief forbade: 6.44. Twice in pure gold a father's fingers strove 6.45. To shape thy fall, and twice they strove in vain. 6.46. Aeneas long the various work would scan; 6.47. But now Achates comes, and by his side 6.48. Deiphobe, the Sibyl, Glaucus' child. 6.49. Thus to the prince she spoke : 6.50. “Is this thine hour 6.51. To stand and wonder? Rather go obtain 6.52. From young unbroken herd the bullocks seven, 6.53. And seven yearling ewes, our wonted way.” 6.54. Thus to Aeneas; his attendants haste 6.55. To work her will; the priestess, calling loud, 6.57. Deep in the face of that Euboean crag 6.58. A cavern vast is hollowed out amain, 6.59. With hundred openings, a hundred mouths, 6.60. Whence voices flow, the Sibyl's answering songs. 6.61. While at the door they paused, the virgin cried : 6.62. “Ask now thy doom!—the god! the god is nigh!” 6.63. So saying, from her face its color flew, 6.64. Her twisted locks flowed free, the heaving breast 6.65. Swelled with her heart's wild blood; her stature seemed 6.66. Vaster, her accent more than mortal man, 6.67. As all th' oncoming god around her breathed : 6.68. “On with thy vows and prayers, 0 Trojan, on! 6.69. For only unto prayer this haunted cave 6.70. May its vast lips unclose.” She spake no more. 6.71. An icy shudder through the marrow ran 6.72. of the bold Trojans; while their sacred King 6.73. Poured from his inmost soul this plaint and prayer : 6.74. “Phoebus, who ever for the woes of Troy 6.75. Hadst pitying eyes! who gavest deadly aim 6.76. To Paris when his Dardan shaft he hurled 6.77. On great Achilles! Thou hast guided me 6.78. Through many an unknown water, where the seas 6.79. Break upon kingdoms vast, and to the tribes 6.80. of the remote Massyli, whose wild land 6.81. To Syrtes spreads. But now; because at last 6.82. I touch Hesperia's ever-fleeting bound, 6.83. May Troy 's ill fate forsake me from this day! 6.84. 0 gods and goddesses, beneath whose wrath 6.85. Dardania's glory and great Ilium stood, 6.86. Spare, for ye may, the remt of my race! 6.87. And thou, most holy prophetess, whose soul 6.88. Foreknows events to come, grant to my prayer 6.89. (Which asks no kingdom save what Fate decrees) 6.90. That I may stablish in the Latin land 6.91. My Trojans, my far-wandering household-gods, 6.92. And storm-tossed deities of fallen Troy . 6.93. Then unto Phoebus and his sister pale 6.94. A temple all of marble shall be given, 6.95. And festal days to Phoebus evermore. 6.96. Thee also in my realms a spacious shrine 6.97. Shall honor; thy dark books and holy songs 6.98. I there will keep, to be my people's law; 6.99. And thee, benigt Sibyl for all time 6.100. A company of chosen priests shall serve. 6.101. O, not on leaves, light leaves, inscribe thy songs! 6.102. Lest, playthings of each breeze, they fly afar 6.103. In swift confusion! Sing thyself, I pray.” 6.104. So ceased his voice; the virgin through the cave, 6.105. Scarce bridled yet by Phoebus' hand divine, 6.333. An altar dark, and piled upon the flames 6.334. The ponderous entrails of the bulls, and poured 6.335. Free o'er the burning flesh the goodly oil. 6.336. Then lo! at dawn's dim, earliest beam began 6.337. Beneath their feet a groaning of the ground : 6.338. The wooded hill-tops shook, and, as it seemed, 6.339. She-hounds of hell howled viewless through the shade, 6.340. To hail their Queen. “Away, 0 souls profane! 6.341. Stand far away!” the priestess shrieked, “nor dare 6.342. Unto this grove come near! Aeneas, on! 6.343. Begin thy journey! Draw thy sheathed blade! 6.344. Now, all thy courage! now, th' unshaken soul!” 6.345. She spoke, and burst into the yawning cave 6.346. With frenzied step; he follows where she leads, 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 6.372. Its ancient branches spreads, and in its leaves 6.373. Deluding visions ever haunt and cling. 6.374. Then come strange prodigies of bestial kind : 6.375. Centaurs are stabled there, and double shapes 6.376. Like Scylla, or the dragon Lerna bred, 6.377. With hideous scream; Briareus clutching far 6.378. His hundred hands, Chimaera girt with flame, 6.379. A crowd of Gorgons, Harpies of foul wing, 6.380. And giant Geryon's triple-monstered shade. 6.381. Aeneas, shuddering with sudden fear, 6.382. Drew sword and fronted them with naked steel; 6.383. And, save his sage conductress bade him know 6.384. These were but shapes and shadows sweeping by, 6.386. Hence the way leads to that Tartarean stream 6.387. of Acheron, whose torrent fierce and foul 6.388. Disgorges in Cocytus all its sands. 6.389. A ferryman of gruesome guise keeps ward 6.390. Upon these waters,—Charon, foully garbed, 6.391. With unkempt, thick gray beard upon his chin, 6.392. And staring eyes of flame; a mantle coarse, 6.393. All stained and knotted, from his shoulder falls, 6.394. As with a pole he guides his craft, tends sail, 6.395. And in the black boat ferries o'er his dead;— 6.396. Old, but a god's old age looks fresh and strong. 6.397. To those dim shores the multitude streams on— 6.398. Husbands and wives, and pale, unbreathing forms 6.399. of high-souled heroes, boys and virgins fair, 6.400. And strong youth at whose graves fond parents mourned. 6.401. As numberless the throng as leaves that fall 6.402. When autumn's early frost is on the grove; 6.403. Or like vast flocks of birds by winter's chill 6.404. Sent flying o'er wide seas to lands of flowers. 6.405. All stood beseeching to begin their voyage 6.406. Across that river, and reached out pale hands, 6.407. In passionate yearning for its distant shore. 6.408. But the grim boatman takes now these, now those, 6.409. Or thrusts unpitying from the stream away. 6.410. Aeneas, moved to wonder and deep awe, 6.411. Beheld the tumult; “Virgin seer!” he cried, . 6.412. “Why move the thronging ghosts toward yonder stream? 6.413. What seek they there? Or what election holds 6.414. That these unwilling linger, while their peers 6.415. Sweep forward yonder o'er the leaden waves?” 6.416. To him, in few, the aged Sibyl spoke : 6.417. “Son of Anchises, offspring of the gods, 6.418. Yon are Cocytus and the Stygian stream, 6.419. By whose dread power the gods themselves do fear 6.420. To take an oath in vain. Here far and wide 6.421. Thou seest the hapless throng that hath no grave. 6.422. That boatman Charon bears across the deep 6.423. Such as be sepulchred with holy care. 6.424. But over that loud flood and dreadful shore 6.425. No trav'ler may be borne, until in peace 6.426. His gathered ashes rest. A hundred years 6.427. Round this dark borderland some haunt and roam, 6.428. Then win late passage o'er the longed-for wave.” 6.429. Aeneas lingered for a little space, 6.430. Revolving in his soul with pitying prayer 6.431. Fate's partial way. But presently he sees 6.432. Leucaspis and the Lycian navy's lord, 6.433. Orontes; both of melancholy brow, 6.434. Both hapless and unhonored after death, 6.435. Whom, while from Troy they crossed the wind-swept seas, 6.437. There, too, the helmsman Palinurus strayed : 6.438. Who, as he whilom watched the Libyan stars, 6.439. Had fallen, plunging from his lofty seat 6.440. Into the billowy deep. Aeneas now 6.441. Discerned his sad face through the blinding gloom, 6.442. And hailed him thus : “0 Palinurus, tell 6.443. What god was he who ravished thee away 6.444. From me and mine, beneath the o'crwhelming wave? 6.445. Speak on! for he who ne'er had spoke untrue, 6.446. Apollo's self, did mock my listening mind, 6.447. And chanted me a faithful oracle 6.448. That thou shouldst ride the seas unharmed, and touch 6.449. Ausonian shores. Is this the pledge divine?” 6.450. Then he, “0 chieftain of Anchises' race, 6.451. Apollo's tripod told thee not untrue. 6.452. No god did thrust me down beneath the wave, 6.453. For that strong rudder unto which I clung, 6.454. My charge and duty, and my ship's sole guide, 6.455. Wrenched from its place, dropped with me as I fell. 6.456. Not for myself—by the rude seas I swear— 6.457. Did I have terror, but lest thy good ship, 6.458. Stripped of her gear, and her poor pilot lost, 6.459. Should fail and founder in that rising flood. 6.460. Three wintry nights across the boundless main 6.461. The south wind buffeted and bore me on; 6.462. At the fourth daybreak, lifted from the surge, 6.463. I looked at last on Italy, and swam 6.464. With weary stroke on stroke unto the land. 6.465. Safe was I then. Alas! but as I climbed 6.466. With garments wet and heavy, my clenched hand 6.467. Grasping the steep rock, came a cruel horde 6.468. Upon me with drawn blades, accounting me— 6.469. So blind they were!—a wrecker's prize and spoil. 6.470. Now are the waves my tomb; and wandering winds 6.471. Toss me along the coast. 0, I implore, 6.472. By heaven's sweet light, by yonder upper air, 6.473. By thy lost father, by lulus dear, 6.474. Thy rising hope and joy, that from these woes, 6.475. Unconquered chieftain, thou wilt set me free! 6.476. Give me a grave where Velia 's haven lies, 6.477. For thou hast power! Or if some path there be, 6.478. If thy celestial mother guide thee here 6.479. (For not, I ween, without the grace of gods 6.480. Wilt cross yon rivers vast, you Stygian pool) 6.481. Reach me a hand! and bear with thee along! 6.482. Until (least gift!) death bring me peace and calm.” 6.483. Such words he spoke: the priestess thus replied: 6.484. “Why, Palinurus, these unblest desires? 6.485. Wouldst thou, unsepulchred, behold the wave 6.486. of Styx, stern river of th' Eumenides? 6.487. Wouldst thou, unbidden, tread its fearful strand? 6.488. Hope not by prayer to change the laws of Heaven! 6.489. But heed my words, and in thy memory 6.490. Cherish and keep, to cheer this evil time. 6.491. Lo, far and wide, led on by signs from Heaven, 6.492. Thy countrymen from many a templed town 6.493. Shall consecrate thy dust, and build thy tomb, 6.494. A tomb with annual feasts and votive flowers, 6.495. To Palinurus a perpetual fame!” 6.496. Thus was his anguish stayed, from his sad heart 6.497. Grief ebbed awhile, and even to this day, 6.499. The twain continue now their destined way 6.500. Unto the river's edge. The Ferryman, 6.501. Who watched them through still groves approach his shore, 6.502. Hailed them, at distance, from the Stygian wave, 6.503. And with reproachful summons thus began: 6.504. “Whoe'er thou art that in this warrior guise 6.505. Unto my river comest,—quickly tell 6.506. Thine errand! Stay thee where thou standest now! 6.507. This is ghosts' land, for sleep and slumbrous dark. 6.508. That flesh and blood my Stygian ship should bear 6.509. Were lawless wrong. Unwillingly I took 6.510. Alcides, Theseus, and Pirithous, 6.511. Though sons of gods, too mighty to be quelled. 6.512. One bound in chains yon warder of Hell's door, 6.513. And dragged him trembling from our monarch's throne: 6.514. The others, impious, would steal away 6.515. Out of her bride-bed Pluto's ravished Queen.” 6.516. Briefly th' Amphrysian priestess made reply: 6.517. “Not ours, such guile: Fear not! This warrior's arms 6.518. Are innocent. Let Cerberus from his cave 6.519. Bay ceaselessly, the bloodless shades to scare; 6.520. Let Proserpine immaculately keep 6.521. The house and honor of her kinsman King. 6.522. Trojan Aeneas, famed for faithful prayer 6.523. And victory in arms, descends to seek 6.524. His father in this gloomy deep of death. 6.525. If loyal goodness move not such as thee, 6.526. This branch at least” (she drew it from her breast) 6.527. “Thou knowest well.” 6.528. Then cooled his wrathful heart; 6.529. With silent lips he looked and wondering eyes 6.530. Upon that fateful, venerable wand, 6.531. Seen only once an age. Shoreward he turned, 6.532. And pushed their way his boat of leaden hue. 6.533. The rows of crouching ghosts along the thwarts 6.534. He scattered, cleared a passage, and gave room 6.535. To great Aeneas. The light shallop groaned 6.536. Beneath his weight, and, straining at each seam, 6.537. Took in the foul flood with unstinted flow. 6.538. At last the hero and his priestess-guide 6.539. Came safe across the river, and were moored 6.541. Here Cerberus, with triple-throated roar, 6.542. Made all the region ring, as there he lay 6.543. At vast length in his cave. The Sibyl then, 6.544. Seeing the serpents writhe around his neck, 6.545. Threw down a loaf with honeyed herbs imbued 6.546. And drowsy essences: he, ravenous, 6.547. Gaped wide his three fierce mouths and snatched the bait, 6.640. Deiphobus Deïphobus is seen,—his mangled face, 6.752. Came on my view; their hands made stroke at Heaven 6.753. And strove to thrust Jove from his seat on high. 6.754. I saw Salmoneus his dread stripes endure, 6.755. Who dared to counterfeit Olympian thunder 6.756. And Jove's own fire. In chariot of four steeds, 6.757. Brandishing torches, he triumphant rode 6.758. Through throngs of Greeks, o'er Elis ' sacred way, 6.759. Demanding worship as a god. 0 fool! 6.760. To mock the storm's inimitable flash— 6.761. With crash of hoofs and roll of brazen wheel! 6.762. But mightiest Jove from rampart of thick cloud 6.763. Hurled his own shaft, no flickering, mortal flame, 6.764. And in vast whirl of tempest laid him low. 6.765. Next unto these, on Tityos I looked, 6.766. Child of old Earth, whose womb all creatures bears: 6.767. Stretched o'er nine roods he lies; a vulture huge 6.768. Tears with hooked beak at his immortal side, 6.769. Or deep in entrails ever rife with pain 6.770. Gropes for a feast, making his haunt and home 6.771. In the great Titan bosom; nor will give 6.772. To ever new-born flesh surcease of woe. 6.773. Why name Ixion and Pirithous, 6.774. The Lapithae, above whose impious brows 6.775. A crag of flint hangs quaking to its fall, 6.776. As if just toppling down, while couches proud, 6.777. Propped upon golden pillars, bid them feast 6.778. In royal glory: but beside them lies 6.779. The eldest of the Furies, whose dread hands 6.780. Thrust from the feast away, and wave aloft 6.781. A flashing firebrand, with shrieks of woe. 6.782. Here in a prison-house awaiting doom 6.783. Are men who hated, long as life endured, 6.784. Their brothers, or maltreated their gray sires, 6.785. Or tricked a humble friend; the men who grasped 6.786. At hoarded riches, with their kith and kin 6.787. Not sharing ever—an unnumbered throng; 6.788. Here slain adulterers be; and men who dared 6.789. To fight in unjust cause, and break all faith 6.790. With their own lawful lords. Seek not to know 6.791. What forms of woe they feel, what fateful shape 6.792. of retribution hath o'erwhelmed them there. 6.793. Some roll huge boulders up; some hang on wheels, 6.794. Lashed to the whirling spokes; in his sad seat 6.795. Theseus is sitting, nevermore to rise; 6.796. Unhappy Phlegyas uplifts his voice 6.797. In warning through the darkness, calling loud, 6.798. ‘0, ere too late, learn justice and fear God!’ 6.799. Yon traitor sold his country, and for gold 6.800. Enchained her to a tyrant, trafficking 6.801. In laws, for bribes enacted or made void; 6.802. Another did incestuously take 6.803. His daughter for a wife in lawless bonds. 6.804. All ventured some unclean, prodigious crime; 6.805. And what they dared, achieved. I could not tell, 6.806. Not with a hundred mouths, a hundred tongues, 6.807. Or iron voice, their divers shapes of sin, 6.809. So spake Apollo's aged prophetess. 6.810. “Now up and on!” she cried. “Thy task fulfil! 6.811. We must make speed. Behold yon arching doors 6.812. Yon walls in furnace of the Cyclops forged! 6.813. 'T is there we are commanded to lay down 6.814. Th' appointed offering.” So, side by side, 6.815. Swift through the intervening dark they strode, 6.816. And, drawing near the portal-arch, made pause. 6.817. Aeneas, taking station at the door, 6.818. Pure, lustral waters o'er his body threw, 6.820. Now, every rite fulfilled, and tribute due 6.821. Paid to the sovereign power of Proserpine, 6.822. At last within a land delectable 6.823. Their journey lay, through pleasurable bowers 6.824. of groves where all is joy,—a blest abode! 6.825. An ampler sky its roseate light bestows 6.826. On that bright land, which sees the cloudless beam 6.827. of suns and planets to our earth unknown. 6.828. On smooth green lawns, contending limb with limb, 6.829. Immortal athletes play, and wrestle long 6.830. 'gainst mate or rival on the tawny sand; 6.831. With sounding footsteps and ecstatic song, 6.832. Some thread the dance divine: among them moves 6.833. The bard of Thrace, in flowing vesture clad, 6.834. Discoursing seven-noted melody, 6.835. Who sweeps the numbered strings with changeful hand, 6.836. Or smites with ivory point his golden lyre. 6.837. Here Trojans be of eldest, noblest race, 6.838. Great-hearted heroes, born in happier times, 6.839. Ilus, Assaracus, and Dardanus, 6.840. Illustrious builders of the Trojan town. 6.841. Their arms and shadowy chariots he views, 6.842. And lances fixed in earth, while through the fields 6.843. Their steeds without a bridle graze at will. 6.844. For if in life their darling passion ran 6.845. To chariots, arms, or glossy-coated steeds, 6.846. The self-same joy, though in their graves, they feel. 6.847. Lo! on the left and right at feast reclined 6.848. Are other blessed souls, whose chorus sings 6.849. Victorious paeans on the fragrant air 6.850. of laurel groves; and hence to earth outpours 6.851. Eridanus, through forests rolling free. 6.852. Here dwell the brave who for their native land 6.853. Fell wounded on the field; here holy priests 6.854. Who kept them undefiled their mortal day; 6.855. And poets, of whom the true-inspired song 6.856. Deserved Apollo's name; and all who found 6.857. New arts, to make man's life more blest or fair; 6.858. Yea! here dwell all those dead whose deeds bequeath 6.859. Deserved and grateful memory to their kind. 6.860. And each bright brow a snow-white fillet wears. 6.861. Unto this host the Sibyl turned, and hailed 6.862. Musaeus, midmost of a numerous throng, 6.863. Who towered o'er his peers a shoulder higher: 6.864. “0 spirits blest! 0 venerable bard! 6.865. Declare what dwelling or what region holds 6.866. Anchises, for whose sake we twain essayed 6.867. Yon passage over the wide streams of hell.” 6.868. And briefly thus the hero made reply: 6.869. “No fixed abode is ours. In shadowy groves 6.870. We make our home, or meadows fresh and fair, 6.871. With streams whose flowery banks our couches be. 6.872. But you, if thitherward your wishes turn, 6.873. Climb yonder hill, where I your path may show.” 6.874. So saying, he strode forth and led them on, 6.875. Till from that vantage they had prospect fair 6.876. of a wide, shining land; thence wending down, 6.877. They left the height they trod; for far below 6.878. Father Anchises in a pleasant vale 6.879. Stood pondering, while his eyes and thought surveyed 6.880. A host of prisoned spirits, who there abode 6.881. Awaiting entrance to terrestrial air. 6.882. And musing he reviewed the legions bright 6.883. of his own progeny and offspring proud— 6.884. Their fates and fortunes, virtues and great deeds. 6.885. Soon he discerned Aeneas drawing nigh 6.886. o'er the green slope, and, lifting both his hands 6.887. In eager welcome, spread them swiftly forth. 6.888. Tears from his eyelids rained, and thus he spoke: 6.889. “Art here at last? Hath thy well-proven love 6.890. of me thy sire achieved yon arduous way? 6.891. Will Heaven, beloved son, once more allow 6.892. That eye to eye we look? and shall I hear 8.625. “Great leader of the Teucrians, while thy life 8.714. Olympus calls. My goddess-mother gave 8.715. long since her promise of a heavenly sign 8.716. if war should burst; and that her power would bring 8.717. a panoply from Vulcan through the air, 8.718. to help us at our need. Alas, what deaths 8.719. over Laurentum's ill-starred host impend! 8.720. O Turnus, what a reckoning thou shalt pay 8.721. to me in arms! O Tiber, in thy wave 8.722. what helms and shields and mighty soldiers slain 8.723. hall in confusion roll! Yea, let them lead 8.725. He said: and from the lofty throne uprose. 8.726. Straightway he roused anew the slumbering fire 8.727. acred to Hercules, and glad at heart 8.728. adored, as yesterday, the household gods 8.729. revered by good Evander, at whose side 8.730. the Trojan company made sacrifice 8.731. of chosen lambs, with fitting rites and true.

What Roman heart but felt a foreign flame! 1.204. Once more our prince prepares to make us glad, 1.205. And the remaining east to Rome will add. Augustus having put an end to the war in Spain , undertook an expedition into Asia , and began the Parthian war; in which he recovered the ensigns that had been taken from the Romans in the defeat of Crassus, which these verses refer to. 1.206. Rejoice, ye Roman soldiers, in your urns, 1.209. A youth is sent those trophies to demand, 1.210. Ard bears his father's thunders in his hand; 1.210. and shafts the enemy hurl from flying horses. If you flee, to win, Parthia, what’s left for you in defeat? Mars already has your evil eye. So the day will be, when you, beautiful one, golden, will go by, drawn by four snowy horses. The generals will go before you, necks weighed down with chains, lest they flee to safety as they did before. The happy crowd of youths and girls will watch, that day will gladden every heart. And if she, among them, asks the name of a king, 1.211. Doubt not th' imperial boy in wars unseen, 1.212. In childhood all of Caesar's race are men. 1.213. Celestial seeds shoot out before their day, 1.214. Prevent their years, and brook no dull delay. 1.215. Thus infant Hercules the snakes did press, 1.216. And in his cradle did his sire confess. 1.217. Bacchus a boy, yet like a hero fought, 1.218. And early spoils from conquer'd India brought. 1.219. Thus you your father's troops shall lead to fight, 1.220. And thus shall vanquish in your father's right. 1.220. what place, what mountains, and what stream’s displayed, you can reply to all, and more if she asks: and what you don’t know, reply as memory prompts. That’s Euphrates, his brow crowned with reeds: that’ll be Tigris with the long green hair. I make those Armenians, that’s Persia’s Danaan crown: that was a town in the hills of Achaemenia. Him and him, they’re generals: and say what names they have, if you can, the true ones, if not the most fitting. The table laid for a feast also gives you an opening: 1.221. These rudiments you to your lineage owe; 1.222. Born to increase your titles as you grow. 1.223. Brethren you had, revenge your brethren slain; 1.224. You have a father, and his rights maintain. 1.225. Arm'd by your country's parent and your own, 1.226. Redeem your country and restore his throne. 1.227. Your enemies assert an impious cause; 1.228. You fight both for divine and human laws.

2.13.13.  Timanthes, who was, I think, a native of Cythnus, provides an example of this in the painting with which he won the victory over Colotes of Teos. It represented the sacrifice of Iphigenia, and the artist had depicted an expression of grief on the face of Calchas and of still greater grief on that of Ulysses, while he had given Menelaus an agony of sorrow beyond which his art could not go. Having exhausted his powers of emotional expression he was at a loss to portray the father's face as it deserved, and solved the problem by veiling his head and leaving his sorrow to the imagination of the spectator.
