Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoObPF8sXze
Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHCIqYkFmJ8
Then, casting back his eyes, with dire amaze, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd0uLDNQ61F
Sees on the Punic shore the mounting blaze. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuMlVnO3S2L
The cause unknown; yet his presaging mind 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVYbsWekM3r
The fate of Dido from the fire divin'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAf0dnkuOVL9
He knew the stormy souls of womankind, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdHVsGUEAP0
What secret springs their eager passions move, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAM1Frflq7dt
How capable of death for injur'd love. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyrOB6ri8Oe
Dire auguries from hence the Trojans draw; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqyyOoN7Onh
Till neither fires nor shining shores they saw. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA20IWGK7B2t
Now seas and skies their prospect only bound; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAp3lJg4dGOs
An empty space above, a floating field around. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAy5aosJuiG8
But soon the heav'ns with shadows were o'erspread; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGJrLPyCq47
A swelling cloud hung hov'ring o'er their head: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAx1XvJFXOh2
Livid it look'd, the threat'ning of a storm: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqay2tfUPll
Then night and horror ocean's face deform. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZkVBXKarMo
The pilot, Palinurus, cried aloud: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJgxVoMIaCo
"What gusts of weather from that gath'ring cloud 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAONsh0tIJE2
My thoughts presage! Ere yet the tempest roars, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuO79TvLftW
Stand to your tackle, mates, and stretch your oars; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAI6NEbPxAxf
Contract your swelling sails, and luff to wind." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAf6MgaXK5JP
The frighted crew perform the task assign'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8E84KhQWgy
Then, to his fearless chief: "Not Heav'n," said he, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEqeDRP7FFu
"Tho' Jove himself should promise Italy, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvqLGBNzeEK
Can stem the torrent of this raging sea. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUH6FKOXAny
Mark how the shifting winds from west arise, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0nS0rz7rbf
And what collected night involves the skies! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhc4ZZbH3uO
Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABQPCF4JBYB
Much less against the tempest force their way. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOD33Ek7Fv5
'T is fate diverts our course, and fate we must obey. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnwgHw03j2O
Not far from hence, if I observ'd aright 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjyutpAyIW2
The southing of the stars, and polar light, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgMsUIDxM6d
Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAagNt3gDWm
In safety we may reach with struggling oars." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeJE0gVb01E
Aeneas then replied: "Too sure I find 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANAbGNSQEgU
We strive in vain against the seas and wind: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARYJJXSm4vf
Now shift your sails; what place can please me more 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAitHHr9s8mF
Than what you promise, the Sicilian shore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASXd5N2y2uL
Whose hallow'd earth Anchises' bones contains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWGq0F0u6Dn
And where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns?" 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkwc9BrOUWe
The course resolv'd, before the western wind 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyAHHae7uFP
They scud amain, and make the port assign'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtTIBueccl2
Meantime Acestes, from a lofty stand, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAaofvu2SS5
Beheld the fleet descending on the land; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvjbiDoZQhO
And, not unmindful of his ancient race, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxKQcctOku1
Down from the cliff he ran with eager pace, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5X9TTQ2DBz
And held the hero in a strict embrace. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAA7XJh7eGpX
Of a rough Libyan bear the spoils he wore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADZUulVCUXz
And either hand a pointed jav'lin bore. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0F98Xxb9mT
His mother was a dame of Dardan blood; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtxatTJxXsa
His sire Crinisus, a Sicilian flood. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApNsl8Jbs9U
He welcomes his returning friends ashore 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAN57GlFxhnc
With plenteous country cates and homely store. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAttuDp5yxcz
Now, when the following morn had chas'd away 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFs3wdksRqS
The flying stars, and light restor'd the day, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAllLvjktemR
Aeneas call'd the Trojan troops around, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwlF3v0QNz8
And thus bespoke them from a rising ground: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIDhYFSLkOt
"Offspring of heav'n, divine Dardanian race! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeWeeraQbUW
The sun, revolving thro' th' ethereal space, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEZYJqjpTvJ
The shining circle of the year has fill'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzNFZzifXXL
Since first this isle my father's ashes held: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZRGGsGMY7n
And now the rising day renews the year; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPMyeK3sU8s
A day for ever sad, for ever dear. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhHEchZbLJ4
This would I celebrate with annual games, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsdyvM0ijfn
With gifts on altars pil'd, and holy flames, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9U1R0ildq2
Tho' banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALPM6keIlSr
Caught on the Grecian seas, or hostile lands: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVnLw5xUwBW
But since this happy storm our fleet has driv'n 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABzFVrIWn1P
(Not, as I deem, without the will of Heav'n) 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABU5rZiL8Ti
Upon these friendly shores and flow'ry plains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6UWQeeCCBh
Which hide Anchises and his blest remains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAULkbeibnSV
Let us with joy perform his honors due, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA01SpzWbLpB
And pray for prosp'rous winds, our voyage to renew; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIBjo2rJ5A5
Pray, that in towns and temples of our own, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA47c4NmkhaF
The name of great Anchises may be known, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAa3g7mfXt9V
And yearly games may spread the gods' renown. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmuvamvb6Sa
Our sports Acestes, of the Trojan race, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYCWAyH6ilf
With royal gifts ordain'd, is pleas'd to grace: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6bWA88NAe
Two steers on ev'ry ship the king bestows; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ7kjeEWlk
His gods and ours shall share your equal vows. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARFnGTg4zM6
Besides, if, nine days hence, the rosy morn 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFywjNaG1BT
Shall with unclouded light the skies adorn, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7NkZlduy9j
That day with solemn sports I mean to grace: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADcZbpSNWR9
Light galleys on the seas shall run a wat'ry race; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAhUM5M8HBS
Some shall in swiftness for the goal contend, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXMrt0aeKL8
And others try the twanging bow to bend; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6hZ3ii7Rvj
The strong, with iron gauntlets arm'd, shall stand 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmA5gSwqvjn
Oppos'd in combat on the yellow sand. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcfhWIZKbjE
Let all be present at the games prepar'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAruWgMixFCY
And joyful victors wait the just reward. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFfxkNntXUc
But now assist the rites, with garlands crown'd." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdwz2yUTpQm
He said, and first his brows with myrtle bound. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGk4PlOsYhw
Then Helymus, by his example led, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKXMWyBHZ3I
And old Acestes, each adorn'd his head; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGkAmiTN0V2
Thus young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmTDSE0rgp1
His temples tied, and all the Trojan race. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKymhUlI8Ul
Aeneas then advanc'd amidst the train, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyKz9MBZ62d
By thousands follow'd thro' the flow'ry plain, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaxawm1ED6d
To great Anchises' tomb; which when he found, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5PLURsByVe
He pour'd to Bacchus, on the hallow'd ground, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAc0HcKWF2E5
Two bowls of sparkling wine, of milk two more, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaLxdDPb2EL
And two (from offer'd bulls) of purple gore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADOLmiiT0WA
With roses then the sepulcher he strow'd 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQjgupv8vsi
And thus his father's ghost bespoke aloud: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOBzvl9K4U0
"Hail, O ye holy manes! hail again, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVioRlJ3UwY
Paternal ashes, now review'd in vain! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWZeuwksQ2r
The gods permitted not, that you, with me, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASHAVESCiZD
Should reach the promis'd shores of Italy, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoPpGiw1f8e
Or Tiber's flood, what flood soe'er it be." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhl4zY66G3f
Scarce had he finish'd, when, with speckled pride, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6wAC8wULPA
A serpent from the tomb began to glide; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5z7V4DeSTM
His hugy bulk on sev'n high volumes roll'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnOptKgzYLS
Blue was his breadth of back, but streak'd with scaly gold: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxDplwkrahZ
Thus riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7OsheowQRB
A rolling fire along, and singe the grass. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAe2pDtpuLS6
More various colors thro' his body run, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6W4OQWpNhi
Than Iris when her bow imbibes the sun. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAiOcSZwf20Y
Betwixt the rising altars, and around, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyG83r8hLbZ
The sacred monster shot along the ground; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFrDHNgnaAL
With harmless play amidst the bowls he pass'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABSgXfYwqkH
And with his lolling tongue assay'd the taste: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuwpwql2iC4
Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtlRKr4YSpq
Within the hollow tomb retir'd to rest. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnCODYtu56O
The pious prince, surpris'd at what he view'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd0ZJqRHBO3
The fun'ral honors with more zeal renew'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZmwIyZXhTy
Doubtful if this place's genius were, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEmFocNfBYA
Or guardian of his father's sepulcher. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhorj6GtSiQ
Five sheep, according to the rites, he slew; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADqYkBxJvbY
As many swine, and steers of sable hue; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABhqp364thd
New gen'rous wine he from the goblets pour'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA91JBHm4Uht
And call'd his father's ghost, from hell restor'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVZKeUUp8nK
The glad attendants in long order come, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ii656Qp97
Off'ring their gifts at great Anchises' tomb: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApM3uHO2EwQ
Some add more oxen: some divide the spoil; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJMrMr5BEmO
Some place the chargers on the grassy soil; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeCI6wW6XvP
Some blow the fires, and off entrails broil. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdq8G7sUFzw
Now came the day desir'd. The skies were bright 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPKwpj4kwPP
With rosy luster of the rising light: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7zVMZjXhan
The bord'ring people, rous'd by sounding fame 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALMsUzUIcKP
Of Trojan feasts and great Acestes' name, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGBzwLVGBSX
The crowded shore with acclamations fill, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvwAgVFX9u4
Part to behold, and part to prove their skill. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqhvmRKlh5l
And first the gifts in public view they place, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA73w6qN0ISu
Green laurel wreaths, and palm, the victors' grace: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUsG0uhdjtN
Within the circle, arms and tripods lie, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPuLybPARXv
Ingots of gold and silver, heap'd on high, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANACSZ1vpM2Bz
And vests embroider'd, of the Tyrian dye. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYycCkh3SEl
The trumpet's clangor then the feast proclaims, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANJnX9bprBX
And all prepare for their appointed games. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA91saUkN9Zz
Four galleys first, which equal rowers bear, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAw1VPTOzBDw
Advancing, in the wat'ry lists appear. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ5KGGjvRX
The speedy Dolphin, that outstrips the wind, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjTno0o4Xoz
Bore Mnestheus, author of the Memmian kind: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAukP3vCzqbu
Gyas the vast Chimaera's bulk commands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtzqyM183sm
Which rising, like a tow'ring city stands; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHH9HhlnXmL
Three Trojans tug at ev'ry lab'ring oar; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAf7ZMohHFMh
Three banks in three degrees the sailors bore; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwT81IXfVLx
Beneath their sturdy strokes the billows roar. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYYW9S4X07E
Sergesthus, who began the Sergian race, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANKV3j9BkYy
In the great Centaur took the leading place; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4MfKCyg2rM
Cloanthus on the sea-green Scylla stood, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0DVELHqmQr
From whom Cluentius draws his Trojan blood. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALZXyD6htQv
Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlp0DnkdZwd
There stands a rock: the raging billows roar 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnZwmuu70DE
Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAP4kty0ZuCj
Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0CJqUEsmtD
In peace below the gentle waters run; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWHHRFvHZRN
The cormorants above lie basking in the sun. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABA28hya7Oi
On this the hero fix'd an oak in sight, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkHjxgQDOhL
The mark to guide the mariners aright. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUQAdp1Uqds
To bear with this, the seamen stretch their oars; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAv2fqpYrguL
Then round the rock they steer, and seek the former shores. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAw0czpVBob
The lots decide their place. Above the rest, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjzurA0Awvw
Each leader shining in his Tyrian vest; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKXV0PWEu0K
The common crew with wreaths of poplar boughs 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEe457oGNrj
Their temples crown, and shade their sweaty brows: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoFPShI98eL
Besmear'd with oil, their naked shoulders shine. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsizHwrw1Eh
All take their seats, and wait the sounding sign: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuUrdnx6zbB
They gripe their oars; and ev'ry panting breast 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7g18aPHyxR
Is rais'd by turns with hope, by turns with fear depress'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAww52LjKThr
The clangor of the trumpet gives the sign; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYp5uLFVtCM
At once they start, advancing in a line: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvmOYUpO5K5
With shouts the sailors rend the starry skies; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAF1IjgjlpC7
Lash'd with their oars, the smoky billows rise; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJX8k3rKIX5
Sparkles the briny main, and the vex'd ocean fries. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcntOnvsRce
Exact in time, with equal strokes they row: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHgfoOqOy45
At once the brushing oars and brazen prow 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7fveoBAE8d
Dash up the sandy waves, and ope the depths below. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAN57ttFKAR4
Not fiery coursers, in a chariot race, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA84VzRjzVdS
Invade the field with half so swift a pace; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd4oTw6H7bE
Not the fierce driver with more fury lends 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMPuq24SXVf
The sounding lash, and, ere the stroke descends, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAamgntqXnxS
Low to the wheels his pliant body bends. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYbndvnW6PW
The partial crowd their hopes and fears divide, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA61oODU2oAd
And aid with eager shouts the favor'd side. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgO8t2GKzdB
Cries, murmurs, clamors, with a mixing sound, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1OrQEH8KxR
From woods to woods, from hills to hills rebound. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADCCAOaPTz9
Amidst the loud applauses of the shore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAprjaHVHOCi
Gyas outstripp'd the rest, and sprung before: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAS4STrxbiWk
Cloanthus, better mann'd, pursued him fast, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAssFX8esgzD
But his o'er-masted galley check'd his haste. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANTuwutBNjB
The Centaur and the Dolphin brush the brine 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAs6Lsebnr2b
With equal oars, advancing in a line; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApZGLRcToOc
And now the mighty Centaur seems to lead, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAW0IgDLSkgw
And now the speedy Dolphin gets ahead; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkiwKQhp7P5
Now board to board the rival vessels row, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvypMCmGxG7
The billows lave the skies, and ocean groans below. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhTY1VL9yzK
They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgkpfsN6lIE
In triumph rode, the victors of the main; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcIPHCr0C5G
But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot stand 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA65dYlH36SK
More close to shore, and skim along the sand- 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALpz3hoN7H7
"Let others bear to sea!" Menoetes heard; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzyMU03Ju71
But secret shelves too cautiously he fear'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUyHApsX2fL
And, fearing, sought the deep; and still aloof he steer'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaTMQehyjXr
With louder cries the captain call'd again: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVbqTXnnkuO
"Bear to the rocky shore, and shun the main." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANACjp4uTywAq
He spoke, and, speaking, at his stern he saw 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlgyYJaXYTH
The bold Cloanthus near the shelvings draw. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA36KB52mmAk
Betwixt the mark and him the Scylla stood, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaM43N4BU6I
And in a closer compass plow'd the flood. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAP53MQpNeOP
He pass'd the mark; and, wheeling, got before: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAroZNi2FOR1
Gyas blasphem'd the gods, devoutly swore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAznF5r1AEHc
Cried out for anger, and his hair he tore. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAO9rmHtzaCH
Mindless of others' lives (so high was grown 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHm3tRdKYls
His rising rage) and careless of his own, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFkyaL5Wld1
The trembling dotard to the deck he drew; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASW6SIYCrGk
Then hoisted up, and overboard he threw: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATcVfqE1i5r
This done, he seiz'd the helm; his fellows cheer'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1p0BrJ8qTQ
Turn'd short upon the shelfs, and madly steer'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcfAWgu1Pl8
Hardly his head the plunging pilot rears, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwZQLgtpJLb
Clogg'd with his clothes, and cumber'd with his years: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8lsf0BW5Ud
Now dropping wet, he climbs the cliff with pain. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Bh9M7KUO
The crowd, that saw him fall and float again, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1huDYO0UZ
Shout from the distant shore; and loudly laugh'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA952p2X8nfw
To see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draught. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaiEkG3XdyB
The following Centaur, and the Dolphin's crew, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkWW9Sjzr7o
Their vanish'd hopes of victory renew; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhdtZE1kmhY
While Gyas lags, they kindle in the race, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAH2DljBxhhT
To reach the mark. Sergesthus takes the place; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMFCEy1zcZC
Mnestheus pursues; and while around they wind, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7N5SUMmsjB
Comes up, not half his galley's length behind; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXnaAg8NwRr
Then, on the deck, amidst his mates appear'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAL2rr0xlb6D
And thus their drooping courage he cheer'd: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8JbPOC834g
"My friends, and Hector's followers heretofore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALqLfqSIWgd
Exert your vigor; tug the lab'ring oar; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFSSbR9ch50
Stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6BiSkQMrbC
Whom from the flaming walls of Troy I drew. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAemIUVDwwbx
In this, our common int'rest, let me find 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmC0SQlNju9
That strength of hand, that courage of the mind, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkcewsIShVJ
As when you stemm'd the strong Malean flood, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXmGhswfAIk
And o'er the Syrtes' broken billows row'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAM3vGwalY9o
I seek not now the foremost palm to gain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADl2YDLEsFH
Tho' yet- but, ah! that haughty wish is vain! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxQOXeqPCBn
Let those enjoy it whom the gods ordain. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAbxabxwhkLd
But to be last, the lags of all the race!- 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATjq0IQ1Lsw
Redeem yourselves and me from that disgrace." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvlXKRZENZ0
Now, one and all, they tug amain; they row 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHtLFtssGa1
At the full stretch, and shake the brazen prow. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd5i1t4S64u
The sea beneath 'em sinks; their lab'ring sides 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9Oz56Z6zD6
Are swell'd, and sweat runs gutt'ring down in tides. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArYtBBkmNpm
Chance aids their daring with unhop'd success; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9pqni3FGFh
Sergesthus, eager with his beak to press 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhcZ2KLUM8M
Betwixt the rival galley and the rock, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAffN8P6c9ig
Shuts up th' unwieldly Centaur in the lock. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAs68C7FscmI
The vessel struck; and, with the dreadful shock, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAO0O5ZoRT8h
Her oars she shiver'd, and her head she broke. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJVCQMO170q
The trembling rowers from their banks arise, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANndUpNqcWA
And, anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ywqm2mgs
With iron poles they heave her off the shores, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4jHwctVkSc
And gather from the sea their floating oars. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWHujlwLNxd
The crew of Mnestheus, with elated minds, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAliI3PGXDhG
Urge their success, and call the willing winds; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArtdKN4fCX5
Then ply their oars, and cut their liquid way 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAr5qwVwkMGM
In larger compass on the roomy sea. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvcF6QBy2R9
As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAobCZRlkfHX
Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJFaAHetryB
The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALvjGjXrjxE
And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPEJpnEla5h
At first she flutters; but at length she springs 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxBm7RWwHiR
To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAChGQ74ahj5
So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z2gYqeHcl
And, flying with a force, that force assists his way. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqY0R0q4zJG
Sergesthus in the Centaur soon he pass'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHzCmHN0VEk
Wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYuA45lypcq
In vain the victor he with cries implores, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArumhHaBeSf
And practices to row with shatter'd oars. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAV2afmf3vi0
Then Mnestheus bears with Gyas, and outflies: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd5p4NxgOeD
The ship, without a pilot, yields the prize. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3QEo19f1vY
Unvanquish'd Scylla now alone remains; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgRNnFQRI8z
Her he pursues, and all his vigor strains. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqKGVZ20moV
Shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWzTCUJJQ4k
Applauding Echo to the shouts replies; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA65ophiGvri
Shouts, wishes, and applause run rattling thro' the skies. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAy3tnD34Qwj
These clamors with disdain the Scylla heard, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaOELpF9CQg
Much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUSRY1l54Ra
Resolv'd to hold their own, they mend their pace, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxa0GyMfTSs
All obstinate to die, or gain the race. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfwuqWKHeSX
Rais'd with success, the Dolphin swiftly ran; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASzp2pW3Cpc
For they can conquer, who believe they can. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUYRkXtZVEh
Both urge their oars, and fortune both supplies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApKfBB3aWUU
And both perhaps had shar'd an equal prize; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAr329wwxHNL
When to the seas Cloanthus holds his hands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAad431iBBK2
And succor from the wat'ry pow'rs demands: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsdLXdvkLgP
"Gods of the liquid realms, on which I row! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAORvt9BLWNA
If, giv'n by you, the laurel bind my brow, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmTKkneuSMn
Assist to make me guilty of my vow! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXArnvYbViU
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADpViV8Gnyr
His offer'd entrails cast into the main, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9p0ivX6Oq3
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUeqcsBRrkO
Your grateful gift and my return shall own." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyQu2DvDvnK
The choir of nymphs, and Phorcus, from below, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALVq0YrlIgR
With virgin Panopea, heard his vow; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgUoygCZyEj
And old Portunus, with his breadth of hand, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqhrqq7sQqt
Push'd on, and sped the galley to the land. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA61c4tn6gew
Swift as a shaft, or winged wind, she flies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfzTLLpLi79
And, darting to the port, obtains the prize. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGBrxflSK09
The herald summons all, and then proclaims 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeh3hqO4kAz
Cloanthus conqu'ror of the naval games. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAydvj6hXawz
The prince with laurel crowns the victor's head, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAztvIKZHkC5
And three fat steers are to his vessel led, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfvHGcueUwO
The ship's reward; with gen'rous wine beside, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmAqEnVmIiG
And sums of silver, which the crew divide. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGUY4aZDMhD
The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsab6BktUVM
The victor honor'd with a nobler vest, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5NzJxGqtNv
Where gold and purple strive in equal rows, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5hF9yI9nl1
And needlework its happy cost bestows. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA47JjmT4S1x
There Ganymede is wrought with living art, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAK71RS3bKRT
Chasing thro' Ida's groves the trembling hart: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnJqwJSa9aG
Breathless he seems, yet eager to pursue; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAecCB7g3MT7
When from aloft descends, in open view, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlSc6nt2Ygm
The bird of Jove, and, sousing on his prey, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAScG49ZVphF
With crooked talons bears the boy away. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVOGttjwKHD
In vain, with lifted hands and gazing eyes, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALs2kZJjTNE
His guards behold him soaring thro' the skies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0MVOAps6B7
And dogs pursue his flight with imitated cries. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATtYqQL2NHl
Mnestheus the second victor was declar'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAt8WCdBd9O5
And, summon'd there, the second prize he shard. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxikEqYOEZQ
A coat of mail, brave Demoleus bore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAo6dajIv5Yw
More brave Aeneas from his shoulders tore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvX5jTUmcrp
In single combat on the Trojan shore: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsMGv8IHZTD
This was ordain'd for Mnestheus to possess; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxcaePi6Pgi
In war for his defense, for ornament in peace. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJwyNGp3V6V
Rich was the gift, and glorious to behold, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcTrJO3A8If
But yet so pond'rous with its plates of gold, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA43JdtMCH94
That scarce two servants could the weight sustain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAO5KDGFzNOE
Yet, loaded thus, Demoleus o'er the plain 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAK32KxFzp4Y
Pursued and lightly seiz'd the Trojan train. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlGcHHTTrXw
The third, succeeding to the last reward, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6LiHNoaoo
Two goodly bowls of massy silver shar'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ20miyvAe
With figures prominent, and richly wrought, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwObadaTTrr
And two brass caldrons from Dodona brought. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASbXhFtaer5
Thus all, rewarded by the hero's hands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAbNhu2RhmK
Their conqu'ring temples bound with purple bands; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5I1z4J0rOn
And now Sergesthus, clearing from the rock, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7JTHWPWRHv
Brought back his galley shatter'd with the shock. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGnO0nZH597
Forlorn she look'd, without an aiding oar, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqwehTAmFFt
And, houted by the vulgar, made to shore. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuVXzH8OxRo
As when a snake, surpris'd upon the road, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyKgWfb60Od
Is crush'd athwart her body by the load 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWjlqSAsHI8
Of heavy wheels; or with a mortal wound 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATwUDB4pLTD
Her belly bruis'd, and trodden to the ground: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAokoW5CQJ6M
In vain, with loosen'd curls, she crawls along; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWRgfJtFoGK
Yet, fierce above, she brandishes her tongue; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA78GQgEZnQE
Glares with her eyes, and bristles with her scales; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFJsqC4BiCK
But, groveling in the dust, her parts unsound she trails: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoFIAxfmmwv
So slowly to the port the Centaur tends, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPRgV9gCGw4
But, what she wants in oars, with sails amends. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuaNOwnyksj
Yet, for his galley sav'd, the grateful prince 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAh2s7RYYsPg
Is pleas'd th' unhappy chief to recompense. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8oZeYBymk2
Pholoe, the Cretan slave, rewards his care, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJkad3mfENN
Beauteous herself, with lovely twins as fair. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJLNiujsIRR
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAugp86kL7jC
Into the neighb'ring plain, with mountains pent, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7O126fRody
Whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAl1UW5bR7ro
Full in the midst of this fair valley stood 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1BWmvJgCTp
A native theater, which, rising slow 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAH5NwUXZHsg
By just degrees, o'erlook'd the ground below. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfxdgWKdljT
High on a sylvan throne the leader sate; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAs4twdz8J57
A num'rous train attend in solemn state. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZDicsW6KAL
Here those that in the rapid course delight, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvWlfweCMOG
Desire of honor and the prize invite. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAF6dqmIKt2h
The rival runners without order stand; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPCoy6Sy4yP
The Trojans mix'd with the Sicilian band. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANP9JsWAim4
First Nisus, with Euryalus, appears; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA07mvvdzF6V
Euryalus a boy of blooming years, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAbin2K6zzAB
With sprightly grace and equal beauty crown'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAju6gCOS6pc
Nisus, for friendship to the youth renown'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGg7y9fNAd0
Diores next, of Priam's royal race, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArWarHMcU0d
Then Salius joined with Patron, took their place; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdysRF6rqOp
(But Patron in Arcadia had his birth, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVsxa9RHxuW
And Salius his from Arcananian earth;) 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuGPrhVhSOm
Then two Sicilian youths- the names of these, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJZIFHlihT7
Swift Helymus, and lovely Panopes: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApxkG8349bM
Both jolly huntsmen, both in forest bred, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeu5kRK6isJ
And owning old Acestes for their head; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlFPXIhNCRu
With sev'ral others of ignobler name, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfrQZDYYMMI
Whom time has not deliver'd o'er to fame. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQfa6IoQ5ZS
To these the hero thus his thoughts explain'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlXt2JH9yiE
In words which gen'ral approbation gain'd: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAp92mtekvyK
"One common largess is for all design'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAI2m6bWJV68
(The vanquish'd and the victor shall be join'd,) 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARNh0w1HLmp
Two darts of polish'd steel and Gnosian wood, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6ROy5ITj4w
A silver-studded ax, alike bestow'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJUxtuApRp3
The foremost three have olive wreaths decreed: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANACFXXq1wR3C
The first of these obtains a stately steed, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA2b3TVpfc2q
Adorn'd with trappings; and the next in fame, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXmiz1mUfBC
The quiver of an Amazonian dame, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAuC9uRHfNQ
With feather'd Thracian arrows well supplied: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJmTwLQnuJ8
A golden belt shall gird his manly side, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgC7PNutii2
Which with a sparkling diamond shall be tied. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAb5xDtYeOb5
The third this Grecian helmet shall content." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARMk10t0CAO
He said. To their appointed base they went; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIoQQVczEUb
With beating hearts th' expected sign receive, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAioc22a1mnA
And, starting all at once, the barrier leave. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0ff1ov9Y0Y
Spread out, as on the winged winds, they flew, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATZCGvcoV05
And seiz'd the distant goal with greedy view. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzqyBsZQVp9
Shot from the crowd, swift Nisus all o'erpass'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAv36tJngirp
Nor storms, nor thunder, equal half his haste. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaRH4tyjViq
The next, but tho' the next, yet far disjoin'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxwvBxWZzPs
Came Salius, and Euryalus behind; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaS3praHuZx
Then Helymus, whom young Diores plied, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9g4zWq1Rlw
Step after step, and almost side by side, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnQA8e9N69H
His shoulders pressing; and, in longer space, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPS124N7En7
Had won, or left at least a dubious race. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKyg5ULKP3M
Now, spent, the goal they almost reach at last, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPQPKuIMm91
When eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAI35jaY83gq
Slipp'd first, and, slipping, fell upon the plain, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA21MzF7paNG
Soak'd with the blood of oxen newly slain. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9YLIRpHpWE
The careless victor had not mark'd his way; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQ18zUIxfaa
But, treading where the treach'rous puddle lay, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAleEAGbK2cv
His heels flew up; and on the grassy floor 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmFDmQUkUjR
He fell, besmear'd with filth and holy gore. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvNMf2qc7DO
Not mindless then, Euryalus, of thee, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4PboIBjno
Nor of the sacred bonds of amity, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHcUb0mTCWC
He strove th' immediate rival's hope to cross, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9htnOsEyPz
And caught the foot of Salius as he rose. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAS0YHslfFMJ
So Salius lay extended on the plain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgrGE7yYEOy
Euryalus springs out, the prize to gain, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkwA6hhCDC9
And leaves the crowd: applauding peals attend 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALskW0rAI9G
The victor to the goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhYJhV94b3F
Next Helymus; and then Diores came, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAF5m0jdPYM8
By two misfortunes made the third in fame. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcRYduFb0W2
But Salius enters, and, exclaiming loud 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQtBiADGKoj
For justice, deafens and disturbs the crowd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAahlQIJW2KL
Urges his cause may in the court be heard; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsvrRxhbKZx
And pleads the prize is wrongfully conferr'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARd6xtpw1MR
But favor for Euryalus appears; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArGwfuBkHM7
His blooming beauty, with his tender tears, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtpgjAaXMrF
Had brib'd the judges for the promis'd prize. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6bG1fgtAuc
Besides, Diores fills the court with cries, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAawQnTXMYmv
Who vainly reaches at the last reward, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAREqnmTj2xg
If the first palm on Salius be conferr'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARDXseUM9Ly
Then thus the prince: "Let no disputes arise: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxSqMBlJ5RW
Where fortune plac'd it, I award the prize. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZgNvYE35j8
But fortune's errors give me leave to mend, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAe2XiJIK2u0
At least to pity my deserving friend." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAu3m9Yf9WqX
He said, and, from among the spoils, he draws 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcdoH78Niit
(Pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws) 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApcFrJ9xbYx
A lion's hide: to Salius this he gives. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5VGjr4h0qN
Nisus with envy sees the gift, and grieves. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAokF4vqj78T
"If such rewards to vanquish'd men are due." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAG8B5BL1VFU
He said, "and falling is to rise by you, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7TTsAnWSm
What prize may Nisus from your bounty claim, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAnSs8UPohG
Who merited the first rewards and fame? 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlgLAS9qZbH
In falling, both an equal fortune tried; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAx7payZniif
Would fortune for my fall so well provide!" 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATMnupc4JLd
With this he pointed to his face, and show'd 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZYLOUUpVtf
His hand and all his habit smear'd with blood. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyWspFnWxdQ
Th' indulgent father of the people smil'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAS4FUQZIH38
And caus'd to be produc'd an ample shield, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlLjunOes8v
Of wondrous art, by Didymaon wrought, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvc5VQJm6Ya
Long since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAtoN37kAa0
This giv'n to Nisus, he divides the rest, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAh9JF1E4z7r
And equal justice in his gifts express'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwJfXqoN8Xh
The race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANFsDUzBq58
Once more the princes bespeaks th' attentive crowd: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZnivcPxrBI
"If there he here whose dauntless courage dare 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKqgGOTWl8A
In gauntlet-fight, with limbs and body bare, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnUC7KnPY37
His opposite sustain in open view, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAI09r8Zrc98
Stand forth the champion, and the games renew. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsFjHOMhJL4
Two prizes I propose, and thus divide: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxpEuQdF0N0
A bull with gilded horns, and fillets tied, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdLrRr0GsE6
Shall be the portion of the conqu'ring chief; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwuSZ75Vkrz
A sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAn1UP8wpn4W
Then haughty Dares in the lists appears; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfz1whyCQ3H
Stalking he strides, his head erected bears: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAx3FiKklKNJ
His nervous arms the weighty gauntlet wield, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcdEKdwzMjB
And loud applauses echo thro' the field. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1DKouPaUCQ
Dares alone in combat us'd to stand 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAI5oqvuowpq
The match of mighty Paris, hand to hand; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXdAl2gAB7F
The same, at Hector's fun'rals, undertook 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdlgqpIDLvY
Gigantic Butes, of th' Amycian stock, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhw21TymQlo
And, by the stroke of his resistless hand, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfvXQRxe5R0
Stretch'd the vast bulk upon the yellow sand. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUv5rH6sdjN
Such Dares was; and such he strode along, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAidMvoqlBiD
And drew the wonder of the gazing throng. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4w42lUzMpf
His brawny back and ample breast he shows, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9HG8BWUyX0
His lifted arms around his head he throws, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtZcqVTWylb
And deals in whistling air his empty blows. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAktAKugKgV7
His match is sought; but, thro' the trembling band, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADKvUZlR5bN
Not one dares answer to the proud demand. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhhlchiKOAe
Presuming of his force, with sparkling eyes 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7tns1QZesA
Already he devours the promis'd prize. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXa694n5y9S
He claims the bull with awless insolence, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwsuW9zx7bc
And having seiz'd his horns, accosts the prince: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcRL6Kc1EZR
"If none my matchless valor dares oppose, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwYdbgg6VN2
How long shall Dares wait his dastard foes? 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVjk0RhViCE
Permit me, chief, permit without delay, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGl4tqD59fV
To lead this uncontended gift away." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAiVEmeKq01Q
The crowd assents, and with redoubled cries 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8g2PB06RpZ
For the proud challenger demands the prize. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAitRW3hLOrj
Acestes, fir'd with just disdain, to see 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6wyvEpNy17
The palm usurp'd without a victory, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZs6uiZ8x2s
Reproach'd Entellus thus, who sate beside, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArwnPp2Wde9
And heard and saw, unmov'd, the Trojan's pride: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUDZBFpTPPK
"Once, but in vain, a champion of renown, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKiCtkaLXKJ
So tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ1Xkz1Xxe
A prize in triumph borne before your sight, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADg13lX5sfu
And shun, for fear, the danger of the fight? 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzn6wG5wpQI
Where is our Eryx now, the boasted name, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9uWIytEx1
The god who taught your thund'ring arm the game? 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAzEGNSN5Gb
Where now your baffled honor? Where the spoil 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfr3rHod0Bd
That fill'd your house, and fame that fill'd our isle?" 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAbaO9mXp37s
Entellus, thus: "My soul is still the same, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoW7Dgc65Eu
Unmov'd with fear, and mov'd with martial fame; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuDrQbBRlsy
But my chill blood is curdled in my veins, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyRMGZs1b7G
And scarce the shadow of a man remains. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA38pDQoKhzp
O could I turn to that fair prime again, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoTqy7ck2mM
That prime of which this boaster is so vain, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwducommUmM
The brave, who this decrepid age defies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA07ieAjBiBD
Should feel my force, without the promis'd prize." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYLWeFngSJx
He said; and, rising at the word, he threw 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYizrXBFy3O
Two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAShrtLEPCVN
Gauntlets which Eryx wont in fight to wield, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAo8P6Yvah40
And sheathe his hands with in the listed field. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmav86nFS5B
With fear and wonder seiz'd, the crowd beholds 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlWJ4afudX7
The gloves of death, with sev'n distinguish'd folds 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAI1CraDLCqD
Of tough bull hides; the space within is spread 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANPrN5kJIUw
With iron, or with loads of heavy lead: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlUPmKQvnYo
Dares himself was daunted at the sight, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7DRX2dtVwr
Renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd to fight. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjA66FWzz73
Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGhcriPUTqL
And pois'd the pond'rous engines in his hands. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABP2Ol4j5tM
"What had your wonder," said Entellus, "been, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3UhU2JH3hJ
Had you the gauntlets of Alcides seen, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA61Ssa2hSNR
Or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAExNVMS5hH2
These which I bear your brother Eryx bore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANd99HHye4J
Still mark'd with batter'd brains and mingled gore. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzcjySLJtYr
With these he long sustain'd th' Herculean arm; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAssnOyvnwri
And these I wielded while my blood was warm, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnNFPPhOzLk
This languish'd frame while better spirits fed, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAom1mJm0DTM
Ere age unstrung my nerves, or time o'ersnow'd my head. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAux4RjdLlq2
But if the challenger these arms refuse, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAk2BFaEna6V
And cannot wield their weight, or dare not use; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1LfnYprUGc
If great Aeneas and Acestes join 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA71vcxB3Y8a
In his request, these gauntlets I resign; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHaJ4m1Y0Fx
Let us with equal arms perform the fight, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvSQvlTBdQU
And let him leave to fear, since I resign my right." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANJfNOLXlhE
This said, Entellus for the strife prepares; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVJM9m8G2pp
Stripp'd of his quilted coat, his body bares; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEFDkFRkyFA
Compos'd of mighty bones and brawn he stands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAp42ORTibhB
A goodly tow'ring object on the sands. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmBUvIjPjUt
Then just Aeneas equal arms supplied, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxw7gLeBrAA
Which round their shoulders to their wrists they tied. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8hdw5plQKr
Both on the tiptoe stand, at full extent, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4KxAJvuoW5
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3tJ5501iDb
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXL3S9ELUnl
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfGpnSJLGHs
One on his youth and pliant limbs relies; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXR8vh8P4B2
One on his sinews and his giant size. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqF6oRigi4J
The last is stiff with age, his motion slow; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyyyERqt7aH
He heaves for breath, he staggers to and fro, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxt4GXDhyuA
And clouds of issuing smoke his nostrils loudly blow. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXds8LpuAR8
Yet equal in success, they ward, they strike; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlvWVXuQxsr
Their ways are diff'rent, but their art alike. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyDTFNTzEHO
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmRblkubEqT
Their hollow sides the rattling thumps resound. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3fvmdHcw0K
A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuWmPjk83NX
And errs about their temples, ears, and eyes. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOG4FZJG26W
Nor always errs; for oft the gauntlet draws 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEld7F9khtk
A sweeping stroke along the crackling jaws. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABm6hyn8HcH
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIrJn3cup0I
But with his warping body wards the wound. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvN5st0Epnf
His hand and watchful eye keep even pace; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAp9r3rIE68g
While Dares traverses and shifts his place, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQTCCHPJycG
And, like a captain who beleaguers round 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIKAMhDbd7l
Some strong-built castle on a rising ground, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4faRqnsUMe
Views all th' approaches with observing eyes: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWZUbh1UIAE
This and that other part in vain he tries, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAobXYRaBt4G
And more on industry than force relies. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKbXtvJR81H
With hands on high, Entellus threats the foe; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wk18wT1Is
But Dares watch'd the motion from below, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7B0xtjoszy
And slipp'd aside, and shunn'd the long descending blow. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9H71GVnyFx
Entellus wastes his forces on the wind, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAidcH1oCyLG
And, thus deluded of the stroke design'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABonLA9ldne
Headlong and heavy fell; his ample breast 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAB3lI5aBW3z
And weighty limbs his ancient mother press'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAHXgViAGnb
So falls a hollow pine, that long had stood 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA28UBOwHPaK
On Ida's height, or Erymanthus' wood, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGQG6q5oFem
Torn from the roots. The diff'ring nations rise, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsnOGOtCfbS
And shouts and mingled murmurs rend the skies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAa8P8qt2NGQ
Acestus runs with eager haste, to raise 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmHPA0lXf32
The fall'n companion of his youthful days. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtx2IjLl5UR
Dauntless he rose, and to the fight return'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoAMdlHjmcS
With shame his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury burn'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5spUG7OYvR
Disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAitEkJK0U8h
And with redoubled force his foe he press'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKie9OFlVhE
He lays on load with either hand, amain, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHnPCxX4xeQ
And headlong drives the Trojan o'er the plain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHdqVnMryFE
Nor stops, nor stays; nor rest nor breath allows; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAklAwUJK4at
But storms of strokes descend about his brows, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqG0NIFltAz
A rattling tempest, and a hail of blows. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMs5YRVVJz9
But now the prince, who saw the wild increase 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKElWtD3cSi
Of wounds, commands the combatants to cease, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXRpW4dgKnk
And bounds Entellus' wrath, and bids the peace. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABhLI8AmjwI
First to the Trojan, spent with toil, he came, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZKHEfzQPMp
And sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARvfviZonvB
"What fury seiz'd my friend? The gods," said he, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAiLGaK4htDQ
"To him propitious, and averse to thee, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHd4RwhDnpj
Have giv'n his arm superior force to thine. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAv3C3g1I0Yk
'T is madness to contend with strength divine." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhHMnhw63Cf
The gauntlet fight thus ended, from the shore 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwDHKJRSn9G
His faithful friends unhappy Dares bore: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsRV6UerG0Q
His mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQOuyIa6KDB
And pounded teeth came rushing with his blood. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArwzi3eu50v
Faintly he stagger'd thro' the hissing throng, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmam4SRsaiG
And hung his head, and trail'd his legs along. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxAco46WyUP
The sword and casque are carried by his train; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMB9DNQ4fzB
But with his foe the palm and ox remain. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxfCdNwHvfz
The champion, then, before Aeneas came, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhhMxbkLR3K
Proud of his prize, but prouder of his fame: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwlQIG3QeVc
"O goddess-born, and you, Dardanian host, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYBcRDbjPTt
Mark with attention, and forgive my boast; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArcAyHWutkm
Learn what I was, by what remains; and know 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxKsNVGgCad
From what impending fate you sav'd my foe." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUxPlwRFo8O
Sternly he spoke, and then confronts the bull; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0Yn2O6IRBM
And, on his ample forehead aiming full, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwh6tLOy3SD
The deadly stroke, descending, pierc'd the skull. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUI5fePIRBD
Down drops the beast, nor needs a second wound, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvAewarjQAM
But sprawls in pangs of death, and spurns the ground. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAY5CZONGwrC
Then, thus: "In Dares' stead I offer this. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAx4JvhIlil0
Eryx, accept a nobler sacrifice; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAbUxtFrpwdB
Take the last gift my wither'd arms can yield: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyLyn8FtHHk
Thy gauntlets I resign, and here renounce the field." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoPdojw35iR
This done, Aeneas orders, for the close, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAneUa96jxd0
The strife of archers with contending bows. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATUJS00DbFL
The mast Sergesthus' shatter'd galley bore 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvxtBsWbWO7
With his own hands he raises on the shore. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyZU2AVf2n5
A flutt'ring dove upon the top they tie, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWounFiQzeU
The living mark at which their arrows fly. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAw6gQdyhgbT
The rival archers in a line advance, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMZKGEhMLF9
Their turn of shooting to receive from chance. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0SvpAVZ5gS
A helmet holds their names; the lots are drawn: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABcw0wnGXYJ
On the first scroll was read Hippocoon. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADQN6udmj3p
The people shout. Upon the next was found 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1rizG76vts
Young Mnestheus, late with naval honors crown'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAN3bhvUFU6K
The third contain'd Eurytion's noble name, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyT3TYe7b0c
Thy brother, Pandarus, and next in fame, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwJhpM9ioNS
Whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIdeiqNOcVQ
And send among the Greeks a feather'd wound. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANACLdEYNs7gM
Acestes in the bottom last remain'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmD3jnWD7fb
Whom not his age from youthful sports restrain'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmVVA6zM8wE
Soon all with vigor bend their trusty bows, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEJaCNsBPvR
And from the quiver each his arrow chose. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAg4zTsRUZ3c
Hippocoon's was the first: with forceful sway 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0J2IgXb5o
It flew, and, whizzing, cut the liquid way. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6vsqd4T1ur
Fix'd in the mast the feather'd weapon stands: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAikE1uIYdWZ
The fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASuywIwbIEG
And the tree trembled, and the shouting cries 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIi8nXXz3KA
Of the pleas'd people rend the vaulted skies. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwhWhxl2CXz
Then Mnestheus to the head his arrow drove, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuPsBP6TzI4
With lifted eyes, and took his aim above, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVsE2VEYlBN
But made a glancing shot, and missed the dove; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ0bvvG7ET
Yet miss'd so narrow, that he cut the cord 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzVOvzSpdyF
Which fasten'd by the foot the flitting bird. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtJoKTpc6uZ
The captive thus releas'd, away she flies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmxEhj5JiNz
And beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXV2hrHhVi1
His bow already bent, Eurytion stood; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYW9Z2nhECJ
And, having first invok'd his brother god, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxluZMrcN2o
His winged shaft with eager haste he sped. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANfjtlRcQBi
The fatal message reach'd her as she fled: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgtYfnCvBpZ
She leaves her life aloft; she strikes the ground, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAojHBt4Cxrm
And renders back the weapon in the wound. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANSTgL9BH5n
Acestes, grudging at his lot, remains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuVCEJSo6qm
Without a prize to gratify his pains. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3qViipqq2x
Yet, shooting upward, sends his shaft, to show 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7KlvZeA6U1
An archer's art, and boast his twanging bow. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtUEj6NE3bK
The feather'd arrow gave a dire portent, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGV55bgUC82
And latter augurs judge from this event. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAV300Z25o8L
Chaf'd by the speed, it fir'd; and, as it flew, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUB8xFYpPhJ
A trail of following flames ascending drew: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcdYGdxahO4
Kindling they mount, and mark the shiny way; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA49j672zFZG
Across the skies as falling meteors play, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8D8bbZdDf6
And vanish into wind, or in a blaze decay. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwG2k70jDXp
The Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9hOLQ7mqjg
And, trembling, turn their wonder into pray'r. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMLcYixbRAl
The Dardan prince put on a smiling face, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA04hmI7CwZN
And strain'd Acestes with a close embrace; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7FivCtAQ0z
Then, hon'ring him with gifts above the rest, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFY6XOM4Sdn
Turn'd the bad omen, nor his fears confess'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAOCOmWSXtf
"The gods," said he, "this miracle have wrought, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAp3T6MvsjIk
And order'd you the prize without the lot. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0k4OgNRkUE
Accept this goblet, rough with figur'd gold, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHQo2jVv3CK
Which Thracian Cisseus gave my sire of old: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAH3bymnqDGU
This pledge of ancient amity receive, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFt6WwGUZXx
Which to my second sire I justly give." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEEJ5l4pty4
He said, and, with the trumpets' cheerful sound, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaprokdqJlN
Proclaim'd him victor, and with laurel-crown'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4V9JJFzeJv
Nor good Eurytion envied him the prize, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANUrhWegmuW
Tho' he transfix'd the pigeon in the skies. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASiPVnq9TrN
Who cut the line, with second gifts was grac'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGTeRpxcg2l
The third was his whose arrow pierc'd the mast. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAbTQwgCtYL0
The chief, before the games were wholly done, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5utwMaZpUE
Call'd Periphantes, tutor to his son, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvNhDXPuZcb
And whisper'd thus: "With speed Ascanius find; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4pQVdh2Cov
And, if his childish troop be ready join'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA86gjfht0fA
On horseback let him grace his grandsire's day, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmDiTOhFDWj
And lead his equals arm'd in just array." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASX0X1bdqd9
He said; and, calling out, the cirque he clears. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAW7ycWL2WXP
The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXtTbwCIIvp
And now the noble youths, of form divine, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOYfu3cQZSh
Advance before their fathers, in a line; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsaHsrvH0w4
The riders grace the steeds; the steeds with glory shine. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhGMdEAXU4T
Thus marching on in military pride, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJl01Q5kapv
Shouts of applause resound from side to side. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd80nHLlEUj
Their casques adorn'd with laurel wreaths they wear, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcjF12T9e4D
Each brandishing aloft a cornel spear. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgumePUXTnn
Some at their backs their gilded quivers bore; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAigCAW3kd0j
Their chains of burnish'd gold hung down before. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzl8UcthVaN
Three graceful troops they form'd upon the green; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeBqD2Wz4wx
Three graceful leaders at their head were seen; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJwD2ciYZ88
Twelve follow'd ev'ry chief, and left a space between. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAW4oMYD8uqI
The first young Priam led; a lovely boy, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkCSRp6t6cM
Whose grandsire was th' unhappy king of Troy; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADDkK2TGoOG
His race in after times was known to fame, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlHHC3LgxRP
New honors adding to the Latian name; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANmuImcUwL6
And well the royal boy his Thracian steed became. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAST1BF9Q2Xb
White were the fetlocks of his feet before, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAebx3j0qMbh
And on his front a snowy star he bore. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyH3jNokWva
Then beauteous Atys, with Iulus bred, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFJRg9WZuXL
Of equal age, the second squadron led. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAk2k1rC8xbr
The last in order, but the first in place, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAR9wAlvs1wv
First in the lovely features of his face, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9trtYMZHSn
Rode fair Ascanius on a fiery steed, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQpUOVkvMwl
Queen Dido's gift, and of the Tyrian breed. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPePBCjuthA
Sure coursers for the rest the king ordains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqao7Wamj8C
With golden bits adorn'd, and purple reins. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAiZA5Fva0lC
The pleas'd spectators peals of shouts renew, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAl2oFhs80Zj
And all the parents in the children view; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyjvFugISqW
Their make, their motions, and their sprightly grace, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxlOZSRAcMl
And hopes and fears alternate in their face. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHyFT6405e3
Th' unfledg'd commanders and their martial train 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAW6qhKkfli3
First make the circuit of the sandy plain 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuFJZvWMZFM
Around their sires, and, at th' appointed sign, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfUPv570obk
Drawn up in beauteous order, form a line. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA2xciZUdMeo
The second signal sounds, the troop divides 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWjKHmCnjuu
In three distinguish'd parts, with three distinguish'd guides 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA89nsgaRSG5
Again they close, and once again disjoin; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOUMImxwfNW
In troop to troop oppos'd, and line to line. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABrHaY6xBXA
They meet; they wheel; they throw their darts afar 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEgRmir6vWf
With harmless rage and well-dissembled war. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAB3sMHorLIj
Then in a round the mingled bodies run: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmbs8QtGpaf
Flying they follow, and pursuing shun; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAh4HVCDatjC
Broken, they break; and, rallying, they renew 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQT9myRQzEO
In other forms the military shew. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALhLPmBSSO0
At last, in order, undiscern'd they join, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAT3Q4L7G1vr
And march together in a friendly line. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhy8j6nBWE6
And, as the Cretan labyrinth of old, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUFQFetHGfb
With wand'ring ways and many a winding fold, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANm497q9a15
Involv'd the weary feet, without redress, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAABXMXtyxwJ
In a round error, which denied recess; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAotYNKs06K5
So fought the Trojan boys in warlike play, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABGhWjcuBYa
Turn'd and return'd, and still a diff'rent way. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAV3rMADfQIt
Thus dolphins in the deep each other chase 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHFeaAylNQn
In circles, when they swim around the wat'ry race. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKNr1rcIV3l
This game, these carousels, Ascanius taught; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxLjh9aRJIc
And, building Alba, to the Latins brought; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgr5i4rixvz
Shew'd what he learn'd: the Latin sires impart 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdaRfLUAlPz
To their succeeding sons the graceful art; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzcWP65VJED
From these imperial Rome receiv'd the game, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkcNWa2538N
Which Troy, the youths the Trojan troop, they name. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAynj4WoQdh0
Thus far the sacred sports they celebrate: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvfbctrwIYX
But Fortune soon resum'd her ancient hate; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeJBC6SUE9Y
For, while they pay the dead his annual dues, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3h8wkFDs4w
Those envied rites Saturnian Juno views; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAbri7o8uUp4
And sends the goddess of the various bow, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAiAM5ZHdiQK
To try new methods of revenge below; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtxRNYhVgEN
Supplies the winds to wing her airy way, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAI1AVbziTT5
Where in the port secure the navy lay. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMv4OkgKU2w
Swiftly fair Iris down her arch descends, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApZDsX4Iw8m
And, undiscern'd, her fatal voyage ends. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVNKVITBqaN
She saw the gath'ring crowd; and, gliding thence, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1geaDOYjXS
The desart shore, and fleet without defense. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABIgyTRKcPS
The Trojan matrons, on the sands alone, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABfEHd4cGFo
With sighs and tears Anchises' death bemoan; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADvpNoIqyyD
Then, turning to the sea their weeping eyes, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ7rX7G7pW
Their pity to themselves renews their cries. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAe1ifUlRkkO
"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArv7GXzTuEs
For us to sail! what labors to sustain!" 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALBEt0MHeIW
All take the word, and, with a gen'ral groan, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzc3RKtivAu
Implore the gods for peace, and places of their own. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnk9W7yeIwN
The goddess, great in mischief, views their pains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5mmkV06rbi
And in a woman's form her heav'nly limbs restrains. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVAGYLkGdRi
In face and shape old Beroe she became, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAf27sJjoCbl
Doryclus' wife, a venerable dame, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1hTLf8U9V
Once blest with riches, and a mother's name. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkvuzePMbaI
Thus chang'd, amidst the crying crowd she ran, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xyw9fWDK1
Mix'd with the matrons, and these words began: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQc8nETfCKl
"O wretched we, whom not the Grecian pow'r, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcoaocdzgBu
Nor flames, destroy'd, in Troy's unhappy hour! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGTcJFLN3uL
O wretched we, reserv'd by cruel fate, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVcrleYHlqm
Beyond the ruins of the sinking state! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeBThqNMnqp
Now sev'n revolving years are wholly run, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKFECEdVZQ8
Since this improsp'rous voyage we begun; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxRZt1rgS7f
Since, toss'd from shores to shores, from lands to lands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsJzaJXYgy2
Inhospitable rocks and barren sands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWe5il6zcry
Wand'ring in exile thro' the stormy sea, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgDeW9lDF4T
We search in vain for flying Italy. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJnZmzAbkdq
Now cast by fortune on this kindred land, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vv5rACcle
What should our rest and rising walls withstand, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIjSoOHfvN2
Or hinder here to fix our banish'd band? 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcI5GDo3Cwf
O country lost, and gods redeem'd in vain, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADqTUCtgP0U
If still in endless exile we remain! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVU7zOd3P4g
Shall we no more the Trojan walls renew, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAa04wEkwyk2
Or streams of some dissembled Simois view! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASalHkSkGyn
Haste, join with me, th' unhappy fleet consume! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzZubfcIHPW
Cassandra bids; and I declare her doom. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADXXNeN9gSs
In sleep I saw her; she supplied my hands 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzT4XnVGKWV
(For this I more than dreamt) with flaming brands: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAM8kyvQGy6V
'With these,' said she, 'these wand'ring ships destroy: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUlY9kcgk7f
These are your fatal seats, and this your Troy.' 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3fhhwg9bEp
Time calls you now; the precious hour employ: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0X00Q5Kzh2
Slack not the good presage, while Heav'n inspires 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAS5V5KlFdif
Our minds to dare, and gives the ready fires. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAW82l9WtVaS
See! Neptune's altars minister their brands: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhDYW148rWh
The god is pleas'd; the god supplies our hands." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjluidUlMiS
Then from the pile a flaming fire she drew, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9cwYGxm0Vm
And, toss'd in air, amidst the galleys threw. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjoiHQvMSmF
Wrapp'd in amaze, the matrons wildly stare: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAM1Pp1ve4RF
Then Pyrgo, reverenc'd for her hoary hair, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4re3QHoSZm
Pyrgo, the nurse of Priam's num'rous race: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABl7CbUAH8m
"No Beroe this, tho' she belies her face! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeOZSiIPCdE
What terrors from her frowning front arise! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8wj9lBIvQl
Behold a goddess in her ardent eyes! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApWPp4gYSJY
What rays around her heav'nly face are seen! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALdXKft1fAS
Mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mien! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJGhx1qe7Ug
Beroe but now I left, whom, pin'd with pain, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6oSG8P45Kn
Her age and anguish from these rites detain," 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyP2cTqFbuh
She said. The matrons, seiz'd with new amaze, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANOCY7QLVWB
Roll their malignant eyes, and on the navy gaze. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVYj8WSZD8I
They fear, and hope, and neither part obey: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAC1rdVRdoUO
They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGhFPjLi1n0
The goddess, having done her task below, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdS4pBULFG7
Mounts up on equal wings, and bends her painted bow. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkKrNhNwOZC
Struck with the sight, and seiz'd with rage divine, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA2S8FE8Mi3M
The matrons prosecute their mad design: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAat4Lpjj9Vx
They shriek aloud; they snatch, with impious hands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3ynXSai5El
The food of altars; fires and flaming brands. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQeg82n8jrW
Green boughs and saplings, mingled in their haste, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAobpMfY9cap
And smoking torches, on the ships they cast. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeCSVwDQGOY
The flame, unstopp'd at first, more fury gains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKrBoDpPZbB
And Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAb8lsKaf4DB
Triumphant to the painted sterns he soars, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQehtQVITBN
And seizes, in this way, the banks and crackling oars. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEorR3EWOOI
Eumelus was the first the news to bear, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAR5w66bNfx0
While yet they crowd the rural theater. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfb9ocKB0Ja
Then, what they hear, is witness'd by their eyes: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIW27IlXfPa
A storm of sparkles and of flames arise. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYavhLrBwnN
Ascanius took th' alarm, while yet he led 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsOAGhr7VWH
His early warriors on his prancing steed, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABvJG8nXPKJ
And, spurring on, his equals soon o'erpass'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0KygZ81Z3
Nor could his frighted friends reclaim his haste. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vpdj4tohE
Soon as the royal youth appear'd in view, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALQbpiO1ZSr
He sent his voice before him as he flew: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABxyXybOLHb
"What madness moves you, matrons, to destroy 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwfnkFPjq9w
The last remainders of unhappy Troy! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfJkr2LhyUi
Not hostile fleets, but your own hopes, you burn, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWyMO0aGfEE
And on your friends your fatal fury turn. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyGD9BJnLyD
Behold your own Ascanius!" While he said, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApJsaT05A3Z
He drew his glitt'ring helmet from his head, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAn41xpa3KfF
In which the youths to sportful arms he led. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcPMbZkipWM
By this, Aeneas and his train appear; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANpIKgrZ0oX
And now the women, seiz'd with shame and fear, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxtUdUmhbGh
Dispers'd, to woods and caverns take their flight, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFzNx8pb3ok
Abhor their actions, and avoid the light; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkCKlm4EjMP
Their friends acknowledge, and their error find, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7WGMzBZz7K
And shake the goddess from their alter'd mind. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtiDLXM8MUd
Not so the raging fires their fury cease, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXneix69jRS
But, lurking in the seams, with seeming peace, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkC4qjAnABZ
Work on their way amid the smold'ring tow, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASFlvvv9jVG
Sure in destruction, but in motion slow. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzBSDGUolIG
The silent plague thro' the green timber eats, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVbhVREbNVi
And vomits out a tardy flame by fits. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKfkGdmuYiZ
Down to the keels, and upward to the sails, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANACU73yjHBO5
The fire descends, or mounts, but still prevails; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJsi850xpZA
Nor buckets pour'd, nor strength of human hand, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8hrnQVvDxj
Can the victorious element withstand. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAx2UvIJVI6s
The pious hero rends his robe, and throws 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHREnIBIxDN
To heav'n his hands, and with his hands his vows. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJvfbMDgtS1
"O Jove," he cried, "if pray'rs can yet have place; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9qe0FlgHLl
If thou abhorr'st not all the Dardan race; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAiLtrD5vTwI
If any spark of pity still remain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7rjTkNhyNT
If gods are gods, and not invok'd in vain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOElnUgL1sR
Yet spare the relics of the Trojan train! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA65wZlkYHwH
Yet from the flames our burning vessels free, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA2f60cZOtzp
Or let thy fury fall alone on me! 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwUwjW8s1G7
At this devoted head thy thunder throw, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAg3cikdhMxm
And send the willing sacrifice below!" 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfqFpqtdCVX
Scarce had he said, when southern storms arise: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkPinuMsIC2
From pole to pole the forky lightning flies; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wfx5PI8JG
Loud rattling shakes the mountains and the plain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3GE82t7x8y
Heav'n bellies downward, and descends in rain. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7776SGJUjl
Whole sheets of water from the clouds are sent, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHHfO7AwSQe
Which, hissing thro' the planks, the flames prevent, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANorj4TvH6z
And stop the fiery pest. Four ships alone 1145Please respect copyright.PENANACuFOBLVCn0
Burn to the waist, and for the fleet atone. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsHbvSu1Bgm
But doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAePr9Ztklom
If he should still in Sicily reside, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASlJtkM9hpZ
Forgetful of his fates, or tempt the main, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAporm2y0Osb
In hope the promis'd Italy to gain. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAOsAaLoxFX
Then Nautes, old and wise, to whom alone 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmwgSF7Vzq5
The will of Heav'n by Pallas was foreshown; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4ldb28oqPH
Vers'd in portents, experienc'd, and inspir'd 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKqDqyyF512
To tell events, and what the fates requir'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMbcZHjlM7V
Thus while he stood, to neither part inclin'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8lg4Qj6Tpr
With cheerful words reliev'd his lab'ring mind: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApM0BlfYgpV
"O goddess-born, resign'd in ev'ry state, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMIJPVz9MTZ
With patience bear, with prudence push your fate. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmLlEtQ8vpE
By suff'ring well, our Fortune we subdue; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3ecTlMpMgr
Fly when she frowns, and, when she calls, pursue. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIalw6vxkdj
Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAleRKyDxecR
To him disclose the secrets of your mind: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoYzGnLclRy
Trust in his hands your old and useless train; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7mVeKNReBz
Too num'rous for the ships which yet remain: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArVfJ3oHnmF
The feeble, old, indulgent of their ease, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArugU1ildmP
The dames who dread the dangers of the seas, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1eQOdOJBi0
With all the dastard crew, who dare not stand 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAiYHf5G8f0H
The shock of battle with your foes by land. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnkNRUBHV1C
Here you may build a common town for all, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVMp7e6JiGy
And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXc3SD7zoWH
The reasons, with his friend's experience join'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABMXeM9fQV7
Encourag'd much, but more disturb'd his mind. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdvNR9ftVp6
'T was dead of night; when to his slumb'ring eyes 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAb3pVeMNUXE
His father's shade descended from the skies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAp56Hb5c3Ad
And thus he spoke: "O more than vital breath, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwmydVzBJm9
Lov'd while I liv'd, and dear ev'n after death; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlity77YJBI
O son, in various toils and troubles toss'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ2AQIagum
The King of Heav'n employs my careful ghost 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOUFEQBe6Sx
On his commands: the god, who sav'd from fire 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKyR9aHabIB
Your flaming fleet, and heard your just desire. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA47IEXuUht2
The wholesome counsel of your friend receive, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAovKwQS6QmL
And here the coward train and woman leave: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8MGq7ZJz7S
The chosen youth, and those who nobly dare, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWDQJ8s6Jwp
Transport, to tempt the dangers of the war. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXXtzlj8kCl
The stern Italians will their courage try; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATs7vZBAKE6
Rough are their manners, and their minds are high. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOHhPje6aNc
But first to Pluto's palace you shall go, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsVs3bp4muq
And seek my shade among the blest below: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZH1L0Alaz
For not with impious ghosts my soul remains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAycwIu7Wo1q
Nor suffers with the damn'd perpetual pains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxRvpJddguv
But breathes the living air of soft Elysian plains. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwMR2WyEb4C
The chaste Sibylla shall your steps convey, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwGNiIOC25P
And blood of offer'd victims free the way. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA2Uhz7ix0kn
There shall you know what realms the gods assign, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJAuX81BknA
And learn the fates and fortunes of your line. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAyvCASTasB
But now, farewell! I vanish with the night, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaDaLWXFnJS
And feel the blast of heav'n's approaching light." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8kNvVs6f4
He said, and mix'd with shades, and took his airy flight. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd8DJpdSEKU
"Whither so fast?" the filial duty cried; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWJRtBqSKp0
"And why, ah why, the wish'd embrace denied?" 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkgSrtyUq7r
He said, and rose; as holy zeal inspires, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAY83r7v8CU8
He rakes hot embers, and renews the fires; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArdTHcTMQfA
His country gods and Vesta then adores 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwe5ouLGsmH
With cakes and incense, and their aid implores. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwS4ZUUl4j0
Next, for his friends and royal host he sent, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATCMgLZyFuO
Reveal'd his vision, and the gods' intent, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANABwUrRRyeA7
With his own purpose. All, without delay, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1qkkKpmeCM
The will of Jove, and his desires obey. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3e2O93aPlv
They list with women each degenerate name, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Xvikk3W5
Who dares not hazard life for future fame. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnZlalFrzlb
These they cashier: the brave remaining few, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgQHnoJUIwH
Oars, banks, and cables, half consum'd, renew. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPvwqYiDCdU
The prince designs a city with the plow; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmj4pUe1CZb
The lots their sev'ral tenements allow. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAR5xfqr08uv
This part is nam'd from Ilium, that from Troy, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsGSjMQzFQx
And the new king ascends the throne with joy; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAToMguC5AWN
A chosen senate from the people draws; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhpRWclglvv
Appoints the judges, and ordains the laws. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3yHLIA6PwJ
Then, on the top of Eryx, they begin 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAx1peiUoQra
A rising temple to the Paphian queen. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1j14W3JpRS
Anchises, last, is honor'd as a god; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEQZVLP1BEo
A priest is added, annual gifts bestow'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzgvP0EDYr6
And groves are planted round his blest abode. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeefYLwZ66a
Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANASPJiLfiSwm
And fumes of incense in the fanes abound. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAtVbn3UILBT
Then from the south arose a gentle breeze 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALTAew4gNpP
That curl'd the smoothness of the glassy seas; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9BPY9i5EeW
The rising winds a ruffling gale afford, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzhavVUdkSn
And call the merry mariners aboard. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArg5w1Yenyc
Now loud laments along the shores resound, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9WzVLAdeVa
Of parting friends in close embraces bound. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANATzKjJqfTPt
The trembling women, the degenerate train, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAdiuPmKJDgC
Who shunn'd the frightful dangers of the main, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAr6m00ugQzh
Ev'n those desire to sail, and take their share 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjYHgrwkiVG
Of the rough passage and the promis'd war: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYShkzHI2zL
Whom good Aeneas cheers, and recommends 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaGPGkwJ4GI
To their new master's care his fearful friends. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAO3ZfRYUA9W
On Eryx's altars three fat calves he lays; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAmhKzEUkSHi
A lamb new-fallen to the stormy seas; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9VW3sICRtP
Then slips his haulsers, and his anchors weighs. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAs1LC7Ajhmv
High on the deck the godlike hero stands, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQoruEkCXPL
With olive crown'd, a charger in his hands; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxfkbQtMrBA
Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARiHQzm1fYD
And pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAG0WG7iERXn
Fresh gales arise; with equal strokes they vie, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA59JMTI5rLZ
And brush the buxom seas, and o'er the billows fly. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAt3BYeWuysf
Meantime the mother goddess, full of fears, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA9GqkKVLNWR
To Neptune thus address'd, with tender tears: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAw5UumCOATY
"The pride of Jove's imperious queen, the rage, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANArHllJN1lag
The malice which no suff'rings can assuage, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANApaawHPMF4C
Compel me to these pray'rs; since neither fate, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlohhzzfQxR
Nor time, nor pity, can remove her hate: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA8VWTi5vkrZ
Ev'n Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAM4BVq7pAUt
Still vanquish'd, yet she still renews the strife. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA7J6rCmgliz
As if 't were little to consume the town 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAF14gpBnSrH
Which aw'd the world, and wore th' imperial crown, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAukS99mmtOE
She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZdpIJ7OJp
And gnaws, ev'n to the bones, the last remains. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWpqx2im0xY
Let her the causes of her hatred tell; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqaAt5PqrUX
But you can witness its effects too well. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVFT2MhyxZs
You saw the storm she rais'd on Libyan floods, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAy4CEyHmEMU
That mix'd the mounting billows with the clouds; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAynH3MWyq31
When, bribing Aeolus, she shook the main, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXEYmLYmaLh
And mov'd rebellion in your wat'ry reign. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHi3tObmBXa
With fury she possess'd the Dardan dames, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyeNzeNbeYJ
To burn their fleet with execrable flames, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAyGXV1QqG5q
And forc'd Aeneas, when his ships were lost, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6KAJ9sTREt
To leave his foll'wers on a foreign coast. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAEEEL8ouSb6
For what remains, your godhead I implore, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHVpyojpUGO
And trust my son to your protecting pow'r. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3FNtKhtP8z
If neither Jove's nor Fate's decree withstand, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMnb9BpUuN6
Secure his passage to the Latian land." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA42W1YvePr2
Then thus the mighty Ruler of the Main: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaPczOsrIAf
"What may not Venus hope from Neptune's reign? 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAqxx4CT55lo
My kingdom claims your birth; my late defense 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAlWb1KIMyjZ
Of your indanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAesIUWQlxTB
Nor less by land than sea my deeds declare 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhG82Z4uu2l
How much your lov'd Aeneas is my care. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsiFqZUsiHF
Thee, Xanthus, and thee, Simois, I attest. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1AaEUTw6B0
Your Trojan troops when proud Achilles press'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA0yWqbnfZlp
And drove before him headlong on the plain, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYZFmjXEk2E
And dash'd against the walls the trembling train; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFjSChZBs4e
When floods were fill'd with bodies of the slain; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd6W2RT1otJ
When crimson Xanthus, doubtful of his way, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQqswKeAU6D
Stood up on ridges to behold the sea; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFXSreqKbty
(New heaps came tumbling in, and chok'd his way;) 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcn57ieuJXk
When your Aeneas fought, but fought with odds 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuh7gPPf3hQ
Of force unequal, and unequal gods; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAG44ZZKbqLj
I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAeMcBAP1foR
Sustain'd the vanquish'd, and secur'd his flight; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAZ74QaK09KK
Ev'n then secur'd him, when I sought with joy 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADTwgb3qWXm
The vow'd destruction of ungrateful Troy. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAd6QKtoBE0M
My will's the same: fair goddess, fear no more, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAcgmrkJ4rJQ
Your fleet shall safely gain the Latian shore; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAgNFBMu7NH0
Their lives are giv'n; one destin'd head alone 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAKGqHuSpfaQ
Shall perish, and for multitudes atone." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAC0yyVGQPFn
Thus having arm'd with hopes her anxious mind, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAE8YcvUpVvi
His finny team Saturnian Neptune join'd, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAsvsKCEGGlE
Then adds the foamy bridle to their jaws, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANLjBSbNbQr
And to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAhh3eXJZ1vE
High on the waves his azure car he guides; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAvA4dn5RCTY
Its axles thunder, and the sea subsides, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAL1ZCpSxtuQ
And the smooth ocean rolls her silent tides. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAF2R6wHPva9
The tempests fly before their father's face, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAkzw7LpdP71
Trains of inferior gods his triumph grace, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lhp6V4t0t
And monster whales before their master play, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALt7Xd6HI7l
And choirs of Tritons crowd the wat'ry way. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjt7ibdicyE
The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMhCTBooPRF
To right and left; the gods his better side 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1fRDqtHR0e
Inclose, and on the worse the Nymphs and Nereids ride. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1IDkjx4NcV
Now smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWLBf0jJ5fv
Within the hero's mind his joys renew'd. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUFVeqjVjqa
He calls to raise the masts, the sheets display; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANALG0xixSSHW
The cheerful crew with diligence obey; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAUAS8OBn6S9
They scud before the wind, and sail in open sea. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAThLwCQwDVb
Ahead of all the master pilot steers; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANbFl3AYrEu
And, as he leads, the following navy veers. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjjMxefkyAu
The steeds of Night had travel'd half the sky, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAaGaetkk5o0
The drowsy rowers on their benches lie, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARuVAUeiUD9
When the soft God of Sleep, with easy flight, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ko4WiIoRQ
Descends, and draws behind a trail of light. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAInvLLdel3X
Thou, Palinurus, art his destin'd prey; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAWU4lW67zRr
To thee alone he takes his fatal way. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAjIQzMV2zJU
Dire dreams to thee, and iron sleep, he bears; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGK7lplW2cY
And, lighting on thy prow, the form of Phorbas wears. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAi6ZxqLqWao
Then thus the traitor god began his tale: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAozuZPgRkQQ
"The winds, my friend, inspire a pleasing gale; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4tWnzeTZt7
The ships, without thy care, securely sail. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANANh5uYs8xxX
Now steal an hour of sweet repose; and I 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQbsWDn89xE
Will take the rudder and thy room supply." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAHRqEpwR7J1
To whom the yawning pilot, half asleep: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA1GlXhDAHZK
"Me dost thou bid to trust the treach'rous deep, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAIlzpbuHjYs
The harlot smiles of her dissembling face, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAnPj3IgDDRN
And to her faith commit the Trojan race? 1145Please respect copyright.PENANARGSpFfEf19
Shall I believe the Siren South again, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAVezWd5mcJX
And, oft betray'd, not know the monster main?" 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAiWeeaDcjcf
He said: his fasten'd hands the rudder keep, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAOoTl1qfyDN
And, fix'd on heav'n, his eyes repel invading sleep. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAfh6IW52UBr
The god was wroth, and at his temples threw 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAzQRcXM1DAA
A branch in Lethe dipp'd, and drunk with Stygian dew: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAoyGd5a5z4L
The pilot, vanquish'd by the pow'r divine, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4tBqO5yWHc
Soon clos'd his swimming eyes, and lay supine. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4OiW03Ry1u
Scarce were his limbs extended at their length, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXqp2kJAr3K
The god, insulting with superior strength, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAMpKcyMCDQY
Fell heavy on him, plung'd him in the sea, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAPt61fFjRAm
And, with the stern, the rudder tore away. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAYSyc1797fl
Headlong he fell, and, struggling in the main, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6KsGNHVi81
Cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAo14D5JVOX5
The victor daemon mounts obscure in air, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAwPIYa8H1EU
While the ship sails without the pilot's care. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAuADYiQA38e
On Neptune's faith the floating fleet relies; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6S9L29pW9
But what the man forsook, the god supplies, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAywCitXCpn0
And o'er the dang'rous deep secure the navy flies; 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAodu9XnYL5I
Glides by the Sirens' cliffs, a shelfy coast, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANADyvLnAGohg
Long infamous for ships and sailors lost, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFOY7M9CXif
And white with bones. Th' impetuous ocean roars, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAAlL8zX2ASz
And rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFDEIs5C2bW
The watchful hero felt the knocks, and found 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAGMdwzl0XYq
The tossing vessel sail'd on shoaly ground. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA4f9T659Tlx
Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAxzKd34MAC6
The helm, and steers aloof, and shuns the shelf. 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAFCqc4Us6Re
Inly he griev'd, and, groaning from the breast, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAXDcZhFZ2bA
Deplor'd his death; and thus his pain express'd: 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA6RMZEohXU2
"For faith repos'd on seas, and on the flatt'ring sky, 1145Please respect copyright.PENANAt59RrI1YAZ
Thy naked corpse is doom'd on shores unknown to lie." 1145Please respect copyright.PENANA32OdgoBTzS
