All were attentive to the godlike man, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAyVjAH4eVpl
When from his lofty couch he thus began: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAY822n29HGJ
"Great queen, what you command me to relate 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAyAkq269MCV
Renews the sad remembrance of our fate: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2TAPca1fvS
An empire from its old foundations rent, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2f0s3Gg2D
And ev'ry woe the Trojans underwent; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXADhetXJbs
A peopled city made a desart place; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3lb6jupvPV
All that I saw, and part of which I was: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAF8J199tbWq
Not ev'n the hardest of our foes could hear, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAO5MwpLqCm5
Nor stern Ulysses tell without a tear. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKsfSZoK2LR
And now the latter watch of wasting night, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcU3r5j1ioU
And setting stars, to kindly rest invite; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJW7Y4tPZDb
But, since you take such int'rest in our woe, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWGpGhIRrmu
And Troy's disastrous end desire to know, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxPeUCHo9Vk
I will restrain my tears, and briefly tell 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4pL4iElxQ3
What in our last and fatal night befell. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATyRpiP4KyZ
"By destiny compell'd, and in despair, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkPrpCSVUP0
The Greeks grew weary of the tedious war, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzol6wdhJIs
And by Minerva's aid a fabric rear'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUJImQ7pFOs
Which like a steed of monstrous height appear'd: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAh37VFaDXGL
The sides were plank'd with pine; they feign'd it made 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAR3VD77gyD0
For their return, and this the vow they paid. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuB9zK18FET
Thus they pretend, but in the hollow side 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAE8WV8kaibQ
Selected numbers of their soldiers hide: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfd6in5zBKM
With inward arms the dire machine they load, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA06YbHvBzj
And iron bowels stuff the dark abode. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAL8CEY7uJTY
In sight of Troy lies Tenedos, an isle 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAz65QkdtVcF
(While Fortune did on Priam's empire smile) 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAaZBgkM1mQI
Renown'd for wealth; but, since, a faithless bay, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5GqNG4qJHA
Where ships expos'd to wind and weather lay. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1QX6Oxd0PZ
There was their fleet conceal'd. We thought, for Greece 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAN3DYfGypiC
Their sails were hoisted, and our fears release. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASvmUW8mRRp
The Trojans, coop'd within their walls so long, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGZchbEWcNN
Unbar their gates, and issue in a throng, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANApCBe5Fxx5o
Like swarming bees, and with delight survey 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7bmC36Ya7a
The camp deserted, where the Grecians lay: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZKD1BRyl2i
The quarters of the sev'ral chiefs they show'd; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHCyx3fONTG
Here Phoenix, here Achilles, made abode; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2pEbHKvFTZ
Here join'd the battles; there the navy rode. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAw5mcGqeeu6
Part on the pile their wond'ring eyes employ: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATh8NM0em69
The pile by Pallas rais'd to ruin Troy. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkqEVuTeSyJ
Thymoetes first ('t is doubtful whether hir'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4zqJeCV45K
Or so the Trojan destiny requir'd) 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALf9YfmbmsZ
Mov'd that the ramparts might be broken down, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANANKuY3DnIvG
To lodge the monster fabric in the town. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABvkqUZvhcY
But Capys, and the rest of sounder mind, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5J4UMECdGC
The fatal present to the flames designed, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhqn0QAU7Ma
Or to the wat'ry deep; at least to bore 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAw2QhvkFhGb
The hollow sides, and hidden frauds explore. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAonsz03TU2d
The giddy vulgar, as their fancies guide, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUkJ1pfHUxu
With noise say nothing, and in parts divide. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjKsbvT86nq
Laocoon, follow'd by a num'rous crowd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALbmueOVWfo
Ran from the fort, and cried, from far, aloud: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9GWxf4YkJR
'O wretched countrymen! what fury reigns? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAyzjue4rYQE
What more than madness has possess'd your brains? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9e3vORKxkX
Think you the Grecians from your coasts are gone? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuk94JTwwSG
And are Ulysses' arts no better known? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA26lBcXoDFv
This hollow fabric either must inclose, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbECjuI4gJe
Within its blind recess, our secret foes; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACoC8JguaDK
Or 't is an engine rais'd above the town, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAAHU246T7mf
T' o'erlook the walls, and then to batter down. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQmctDV26CZ
Somewhat is sure design'd, by fraud or force: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2U2skHIFxv
Trust not their presents, nor admit the horse.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANApIuhK3Vu7x
Thus having said, against the steed he threw 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKztMaQxuwy
His forceful spear, which, hissing as flew, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7r6ww3w9f
Pierc'd thro' the yielding planks of jointed wood, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQSMumrulIq
And trembling in the hollow belly stood. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlCZ9UwmonJ
The sides, transpierc'd, return a rattling sound, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgiHMPdblTA
And groans of Greeks inclos'd come issuing thro' the wound 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3nWjxX11R
And, had not Heav'n the fall of Troy design'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASQSndlgHoV
Or had not men been fated to be blind, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXVFrYfHErF
Enough was said and done t'inspire a better mind. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPxAh6b9qoN
Then had our lances pierc'd the treach'rous wood, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdQBTQzawXy
And Ilian tow'rs and Priam's empire stood. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAw4tQpPoMQO
Meantime, with shouts, the Trojan shepherds bring 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdn4VnP1zLG
A captive Greek, in bands, before the king; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9uUbX18GFG
Taken to take; who made himself their prey, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0Roua5abb3
T' impose on their belief, and Troy betray; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA03noToB6Rg
Fix'd on his aim, and obstinately bent 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARkWhT1fhTg
To die undaunted, or to circumvent. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnDFllqV1J8
About the captive, tides of Trojans flow; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7fU2tBtWKD
All press to see, and some insult the foe. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABglIN4V3P5
Now hear how well the Greeks their wiles disguis'd; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALcOonoxxtS
Behold a nation in a man compris'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuUsieSAdoR
Trembling the miscreant stood, unarm'd and bound; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9JsGoWeMuu
He star'd, and roll'd his haggard eyes around, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGNWTQ2Ej0g
Then said: 'Alas! what earth remains, what sea 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAy0xnH9bDh4
Is open to receive unhappy me? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeLriJu1Onj
What fate a wretched fugitive attends, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANArMjKhZ7S8F
Scorn'd by my foes, abandon'd by my friends?' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkU5s4k45bf
He said, and sigh'd, and cast a rueful eye: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmpiTGIiyRF
Our pity kindles, and our passions die. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzgEeg9Jzau
We cheer youth to make his own defense, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9tsq2B7qRK
And freely tell us what he was, and whence: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0t8JhVe5Er
What news he could impart, we long to know, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARhEChMkIzT
And what to credit from a captive foe. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAt9w1SwEnPV
"His fear at length dismiss'd, he said: 'Whate'er 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVuR8WC4OLy
My fate ordains, my words shall be sincere: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAyv8V7nqjSH
I neither can nor dare my birth disclaim; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAK4YSpKt3Q1
Greece is my country, Sinon is my name. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmPaHLnJOB9
Tho' plung'd by Fortune's pow'r in misery, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVudcnKYt3q
'T is not in Fortune's pow'r to make me lie. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0hDBgljvqm
If any chance has hither brought the name 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUUAg6JTMoE
Of Palamedes, not unknown to fame, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxFdlVQWcUU
Who suffer'd from the malice of the times, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhtZywRLCaE
Accus'd and sentenc'd for pretended crimes, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAIfiR4fORkZ
Because these fatal wars he would prevent; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhEdOqCsGEn
Whose death the wretched Greeks too late lament- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6jCJhHi9YX
Me, then a boy, my father, poor and bare 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAynhWTyVmNO
Of other means, committed to his care, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvrl19doaWZ
His kinsman and companion in the war. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA53QLG4jKAx
While Fortune favor'd, while his arms support 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWzlMxJS1IF
The cause, and rul'd the counsels, of the court, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATRwhVPw7m8
I made some figure there; nor was my name 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnTL3Ya2Nve
Obscure, nor I without my share of fame. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA5yGYnhhFr
But when Ulysses, with fallacious arts, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6eJGP7hzCq
Had made impression in the people's hearts, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPGQ6xMh8PQ
And forg'd a treason in my patron's name 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAsXDWCkr1n9
(I speak of things too far divulg'd by fame), 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9Oqci0rS5k
My kinsman fell. Then I, without support, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4H5aHKNXEb
In private mourn'd his loss, and left the court. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAMvzt1ZJr3l
Mad as I was, I could not bear his fate 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9CO3eZ8SNL
With silent grief, but loudly blam'd the state, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQkPWFNNtMl
And curs'd the direful author of my woes. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWd4SqUzYyA
'T was told again; and hence my ruin rose. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjupq5WkniJ
I threaten'd, if indulgent Heav'n once more 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiBsnjvRdoX
Would land me safely on my native shore, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3SSwDJyXc8
His death with double vengeance to restore. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAj8qdzQzsqa
This mov'd the murderer's hate; and soon ensued 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pe6HC7QJE
Th' effects of malice from a man so proud. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkTnSNebRGO
Ambiguous rumors thro' the camp he spread, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFvzCWfhqb7
And sought, by treason, my devoted head; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAozX2Iijqck
New crimes invented; left unturn'd no stone, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnf7hOlFyMJ
To make my guilt appear, and hide his own; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADg4I8w3w1N
Till Calchas was by force and threat'ning wrought- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7iHiOLds3O
But why- why dwell I on that anxious thought? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiIKlBZtVSz
If on my nation just revenge you seek, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAelJg6tVWwO
And 't is t' appear a foe, t' appear a Greek; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmUa6RReomm
Already you my name and country know; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAC0QO8oz3E0
Assuage your thirst of blood, and strike the blow: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADPDBrc4Aam
My death will both the kingly brothers please, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhRrLKk8yuG
And set insatiate Ithacus at ease.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAroOa4fqflW
This fair unfinish'd tale, these broken starts, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAF7mnsgC3hn
Rais'd expectations in our longing hearts: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAofG5EMPIrF
Unknowing as we were in Grecian arts. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHYWpI6UiSq
His former trembling once again renew'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAqy2hSEkNQF
With acted fear, the villain thus pursued: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPrXBA6zR3J
"'Long had the Grecians (tir'd with fruitless care, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUuwiikcdMl
And wearied with an unsuccessful war) 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAW42CIngO9i
Resolv'd to raise the siege, and leave the town; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKW7EScm8QJ
And, had the gods permitted, they had gone; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFMArPuGEDS
But oft the wintry seas and southern winds 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARUcuwWw5wG
Withstood their passage home, and chang'd their minds. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAimnzx8sX15
Portents and prodigies their souls amaz'd; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADQJsj8wiCk
But most, when this stupendous pile was rais'd: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7DDTjdnzkC
Then flaming meteors, hung in air, were seen, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASySj2Gd7Hg
And thunders rattled thro' a sky serene. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA71rLit3kGM
Dismay'd, and fearful of some dire event, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAY3HgD89JPD
Eurypylus t' enquire their fate was sent. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGTIF36IX4j
He from the gods this dreadful answer brought: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1wRuFunRAi
"O Grecians, when the Trojan shores you sought, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbYlFnDVD9g
Your passage with a virgin's blood was bought: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfW7AFQY48p
So must your safe return be bought again, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAAptshH74Uc
And Grecian blood once more atone the main." 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAr3y6yTalc4
The spreading rumor round the people ran; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHljfGc35D2
All fear'd, and each believ'd himself the man. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAwu9Rk6ad2Z
Ulysses took th' advantage of their fright; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAejTcXVG1nt
Call'd Calchas, and produc'd in open sight: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKJkTAJl1QN
Then bade him name the wretch, ordain'd by fate 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0NeX7lsUBP
The public victim, to redeem the state. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtvOC4edhvT
Already some presag'd the dire event, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADbdNJVgEdd
And saw what sacrifice Ulysses meant. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlTwt1PYfE9
For twice five days the good old seer withstood 1404Please respect copyright.PENANANc8a8gbj2r
Th' intended treason, and was dumb to blood, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADv6UeF3cdh
Till, tir'd, with endless clamors and pursuit 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGaDyUvH2uB
Of Ithacus, he stood no longer mute; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAMmBKdX3zwF
But, as it was agreed, pronounc'd that I 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAajDWRtXPQs
Was destin'd by the wrathful gods to die. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0moBXD2j0q
All prais'd the sentence, pleas'd the storm should fall 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAr9cUi5QcsD
On one alone, whose fury threaten'd all. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1iTmvOOoMb
The dismal day was come; the priests prepare 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQemLJUHial
Their leaven'd cakes, and fillets for my hair. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6q4EBQKY3t
I follow'd nature's laws, and must avow 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAM3cKKVNmNP
I broke my bonds and fled the fatal blow. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxkjmWOiUvj
Hid in a weedy lake all night I lay, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADxuRYOnbGO
Secure of safety when they sail'd away. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdxtIRrUtYL
But now what further hopes for me remain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA22fD4OhrVm
To see my friends, or native soil, again; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvqx2iRlVaV
My tender infants, or my careful sire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZBzD7FQRCZ
Whom they returning will to death require; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVJzUJV7TvH
Will perpetrate on them their first design, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9zDtPjMaB0
And take the forfeit of their heads for mine? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxpSlddwEnP
Which, O! if pity mortal minds can move, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAa6wNfuwdSL
If there be faith below, or gods above, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAN4kWeEDloM
If innocence and truth can claim desert, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABCdzcoICgR
Ye Trojans, from an injur'd wretch avert.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnuOxN81l6q
"False tears true pity move; the king commands 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuubuXBoLN9
To loose his fetters, and unbind his hands: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkqKIuWVoPW
Then adds these friendly words: 'Dismiss thy fears; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1zGdUvbyB5
Forget the Greeks; be mine as thou wert theirs. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAF7u9LepbOx
But truly tell, was it for force or guile, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzUuAJJvfRE
Or some religious end, you rais'd the pile?' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFgCvPRMlHu
Thus said the king. He, full of fraudful arts, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjs4V5WLCcL
This well-invented tale for truth imparts: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA9juUAtSwD
'Ye lamps of heav'n!' he said, and lifted high 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVdInaCa1c3
His hands now free, 'thou venerable sky! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbeT70jHvSJ
Inviolable pow'rs, ador'd with dread! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6VuOpOI2Zn
Ye fatal fillets, that once bound this head! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAij5XftVfbO
Ye sacred altars, from whose flames I fled! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUrP41k7fCK
Be all of you adjur'd; and grant I may, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARimCqHnZDx
Without a crime, th' ungrateful Greeks betray, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjp9y1jgDtf
Reveal the secrets of the guilty state, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKyOu0s5xMX
And justly punish whom I justly hate! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeqevlhXenJ
But you, O king, preserve the faith you gave, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnM6omxlpFo
If I, to save myself, your empire save. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAENMcvLEDwa
The Grecian hopes, and all th' attempts they made, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAd8DVhwHmSc
Were only founded on Minerva's aid. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhjkvRmmoje
But from the time when impious Diomede, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA5DPoEXJNG
And false Ulysses, that inventive head, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAozrcSgDEet
Her fatal image from the temple drew, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAh0NbA6CdOd
The sleeping guardians of the castle slew, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAw6E8dE8kdn
Her virgin statue with their bloody hands 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxwDPfzV6GX
Polluted, and profan'd her holy bands; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbNpdd0zI30
From thence the tide of fortune left their shore, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdcnQIYkRRT
And ebb'd much faster than it flow'd before: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABORsXuC9vJ
Their courage languish'd, as their hopes decay'd; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANApoxFJqea1y
And Pallas, now averse, refus'd her aid. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvFvzPKwbEl
Nor did the goddess doubtfully declare 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAH2R9kZGLVM
Her alter'd mind and alienated care. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVuWTtod0WE
When first her fatal image touch'd the ground, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAh8OBbkESgQ
She sternly cast her glaring eyes around, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALr9iaeAaeU
That sparkled as they roll'd, and seem'd to threat: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjoP2TbxkVv
Her heav'nly limbs distill'd a briny sweat. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzvyRHf9wRm
Thrice from the ground she leap'd, was seen to wield 1404Please respect copyright.PENANApdofwePKBB
Her brandish'd lance, and shake her horrid shield. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7PXnXvGl8u
Then Calchas bade our host for flight 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAIRP5VHRYrx
And hope no conquest from the tedious war, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3TccDStQQI
Till first they sail'd for Greece; with pray'rs besought 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA98KanCTqgR
Her injur'd pow'r, and better omens brought. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtsUdFXFplM
And now their navy plows the wat'ry main, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHVmCc0TcGQ
Yet soon expect it on your shores again, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9R40uBbLuc
With Pallas pleas'd; as Calchas did ordain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAAvHLITW2Gt
But first, to reconcile the blue-ey'd maid 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeTWSYgRE0M
For her stol'n statue and her tow'r betray'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y2rpKszhG
Warn'd by the seer, to her offended name 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJHlPJwb1hJ
We rais'd and dedicate this wondrous frame, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6S4OeWwtuy
So lofty, lest thro' your forbidden gates 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2W30L7RF7
It pass, and intercept our better fates: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACJ5j8ZprJa
For, once admitted there, our hopes are lost; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALmjul2bgsP
And Troy may then a new Palladium boast; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAOJBrANKStw
For so religion and the gods ordain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8D1KSscynx
That, if you violate with hands profane 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbzEyWBhjwi
Minerva's gift, your town in flames shall burn, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAOMY3edi76I
(Which omen, O ye gods, on Graecia turn!) 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAv8X8cUiH6l
But if it climb, with your assisting hands, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAABuVJeuBnW
The Trojan walls, and in the city stands; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5JloEEROfw
Then Troy shall Argos and Mycenae burn, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAOq9vFvtGYH
And the reverse of fate on us return.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPu2EL6abAe
"With such deceits he gain'd their easy hearts, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhRhvAAc9Xc
Too prone to credit his perfidious arts. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdGBhasd129
What Diomede, nor Thetis' greater son, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAf21nmi4s2W

Concurring to produce the dire event. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAx2aL7Pd4hJ
Laocoon, Neptune's priest by lot that year, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAt1ij10bL7X
With solemn pomp then sacrific'd a steer; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmqL4HqxQWI
When, dreadful to behold, from sea we spied 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlyOHQbDzSz
Two serpents, rank'd abreast, the seas divide, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcBq15TtIfr
And smoothly sweep along the swelling tide. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmf8S4gyzAI
Their flaming crests above the waves they show; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA33pTMHmZq8
Their bellies seem to burn the seas below; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGK6tyvFAxh
Their speckled tails advance to steer their course, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHZYiEfbpdE
And on the sounding shore the flying billows force. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmQMJmTdtOH
And now the strand, and now the plain they held; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAykwk3n0vme
Their ardent eyes with bloody streaks were fill'd; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAq2IKClS0MS
Their nimble tongues they brandish'd as they came, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYD7qTpOC3r
And lick'd their hissing jaws, that sputter'd flame. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAt9eiYrAXHC
We fled amaz'd; their destin'd way they take, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjDZSQ2xC5Z
And to Laocoon and his children make; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABoxtfMUhdP
And first around the tender boys they wind, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbVT9u69pP8
Then with their sharpen'd fangs their limbs and bodies grind. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA39vVUEpgkA
The wretched father, running to their aid 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8u8JZC4Juv
With pious haste, but vain, they next invade; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARSUN1sMN6g
Twice round his waist their winding volumes roll'd; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiANmhBdaN6
And twice about his gasping throat they fold. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAl78caGKXYH
The priest thus doubly chok'd, their crests divide, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADVAZUCifL5
And tow'ring o'er his head in triumph ride. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeDn8BnZ4Pj
With both his hands he labors at the knots; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtEclJDeJU9
His holy fillets the blue venom blots; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3TQThboSdS
His roaring fills the flitting air around. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASmZRNMMu6F
Thus, when an ox receives a glancing wound, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4tLo6LyNbH
He breaks his bands, the fatal altar flies, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAL7e3ohj10M
And with loud bellowings breaks the yielding skies. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmDzmHTd8gx
Their tasks perform'd, the serpents quit their prey, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAV2CnKvcW3z
And to the tow'r of Pallas make their way: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4dcZmWfMlK
Couch'd at her feet, they lie protected there 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4hY8ShcYhZ
By her large buckler and protended spear. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5d1oes3EH4
Amazement seizes all; the gen'ral cry 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATtwRJfBX3t
Proclaims Laocoon justly doom'd to die, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVf0JHCyHXd
Whose hand the will of Pallas had withstood, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABuZieCWtL0
And dared to violate the sacred wood. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWlrIsIqLfH
All vote t' admit the steed, that vows be paid 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5HiHCsi829
And incense offer'd to th' offended maid. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAptzwYFoPGs
A spacious breach is made; the town lies bare; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFV3pljDEIX
Some hoisting-levers, some the wheels prepare 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAL6rp5NLbgg
And fasten to the horse's feet; the rest 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3Od8wxIqCg
With cables haul along th' unwieldly beast. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAaeJ0vmQ0XB
Each on his fellow for assistance calls; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAONDDl6OfgJ
At length the fatal fabric mounts the walls, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADSssGyNNjl
Big with destruction. Boys with chaplets crown'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHBcphtpUGr
And choirs of virgins, sing and dance around. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGj6JHI7yA3
Thus rais'd aloft, and then descending down, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAp2RURRgUX4
It enters o'er our heads, and threats the town. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gb1QqCxsB
O sacred city, built by hands divine! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASgDevDZj5C
O valiant heroes of the Trojan line! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmUTumz82RE
Four times he struck: as oft the clashing sound 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5BWHXGF1xJ
Of arms was heard, and inward groans rebound. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8oTw7ZgmU6
Yet, mad with zeal, and blinded with our fate, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAyKJ79vlDII
We haul along the horse in solemn state; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjvcyoDfwjD
Then place the dire portent within the tow'r. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcnpJP68sm6
Cassandra cried, and curs'd th' unhappy hour; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3xVajy5A3y
Foretold our fate; but, by the god's decree, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Yz57qtfb
All heard, and none believ'd the prophecy. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAraLGABJa79
With branches we the fanes adorn, and waste, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAoHRcXnw9tH
In jollity, the day ordain'd to be the last. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALXEahIcNMF
Meantime the rapid heav'ns roll'd down the light, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANApqU8OyIIC4
And on the shaded ocean rush'd the night; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANApN49XC5RrA
Our men, secure, nor guards nor sentries held, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQASFfyT7Za
But easy sleep their weary limbs compell'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7cHrsD5qUL
The Grecians had embark'd their naval pow'rs 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAB122hqG77m
From Tenedos, and sought our well-known shores, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzNWq2Rmb9g
Safe under covert of the silent night, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAebYfBbUR5U
And guided by th' imperial galley's light; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAooIJGpp8bH
When Sinon, favor'd by the partial gods, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAaV4FJsdYyT
Unlock'd the horse, and op'd his dark abodes; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZK5mDTVA7S
Restor'd to vital air our hidden foes, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPYRibR6dCA
Who joyful from their long confinement rose. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3bbgoTqNsb
Tysander bold, and Sthenelus their guide, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnrq56xa2d7
And dire Ulysses down the cable slide: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9a9fSiQTJ4
Then Thoas, Athamas, and Pyrrhus haste; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnNtwkYaARF
Nor was the Podalirian hero last, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVxtu0kOHwq
Nor injur'd Menelaus, nor the fam'd 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAB6JvBi73Cf
Epeus, who the fatal engine fram'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkgE6qmjcTV
A nameless crowd succeed; their forces join 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPqudq5aGiz
T' invade the town, oppress'd with sleep and wine. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACHEes0J3IU
Those few they find awake first meet their fate; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQW5SuY5Zkf
Then to their fellows they unbar the gate. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5U9bqQFW6d
"'T was in the dead of night, when sleep repairs 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAigTNmJ4UkP
Our bodies worn with toils, our minds with cares, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAowtMZd81Qa
When Hector's ghost before my sight appears: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1oGE4s7vUo
A bloody shroud he seem'd, and bath'd in tears; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6pKQnJeucT
Such as he was, when, by Pelides slain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdiKBDAzbBZ
Thessalian coursers dragg'd him o'er the plain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9C7mh7P8HL
Swoln were his feet, as when the thongs were thrust 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAIOrlRrIhGz
Thro' the bor'd holes; his body black with dust; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAwIZmnP6qr9
Unlike that Hector who return'd from toils 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAwFYevGPewi
Of war, triumphant, in Aeacian spoils, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARhWBC0SS1g
Or him who made the fainting Greeks retire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARurT5ANzOM
And launch'd against their navy Phrygian fire. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAS0dF0I0SQq
His hair and beard stood stiffen'd with his gore; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfSJSZopAGI
And all the wounds he for his country bore 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmZAMTqcYmD
Now stream'd afresh, and with new purple ran. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAY88Hw9xgMn
I wept to see the visionary man, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7fCcVIKZym
And, while my trance continued, thus began: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAavqLO07YnP
'O light of Trojans, and support of Troy, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbFIDND4qa9
Thy father's champion, and thy country's joy! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAR2fBOMAON2
O, long expected by thy friends! from whence 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAh9ILUh5dXU
Art thou so late return'd for our defense? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3LwtJbEyqe
Do we behold thee, wearied as we are 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2uVTELP5tY
With length of labors, and with toils of war? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASMf2aoKtJD
After so many fun'rals of thy own 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6RbWobn1QN
Art thou restor'd to thy declining town? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWJWRCUEO0z
But say, what wounds are these? What new disgrace 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtv4dg6xFh4
Deforms the manly features of thy face?' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5MxuWaehRa
"To this the specter no reply did frame, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFc4E3Y2jWf
But answer'd to the cause for which he came, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnDzZnjVozc
And, groaning from the bottom of his breast, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAecUBZKENjv
This warning in these mournful words express'd: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZAR3cin34x
'O goddess-born! escape, by timely flight, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvmzxbqxHUp
The flames and horrors of this fatal night. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3TI6bXfuKd
The foes already have possess'd the wall; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxRWBVaf7qn
Troy nods from high, and totters to her fall. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvhh2Xwz3nZ
Enough is paid to Priam's royal name, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGTlMSDTjkm
More than enough to duty and to fame. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzSzF9f4wkO
If by a mortal hand my father's throne 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlAGxDPtEd5
Could be defended, 't was by mine alone. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhVasxlzS4d
Now Troy to thee commends her future state, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQSNlGnUybF
And gives her gods companions of thy fate: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATUOZUivdIJ
From their assistance walls expect, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANANC8GiPLHr5
Which, wand'ring long, at last thou shalt erect.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9nuw9y1O8R
He said, and brought me, from their blest abodes, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5cXaOoFC5n
The venerable statues of the gods, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPW2dSKpzMV
With ancient Vesta from the sacred choir, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjuWQ75tfBT
The wreaths and relics of th' immortal fire. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALJ0S0C82Z9
"Now peals of shouts come thund'ring from afar, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAN2WxK9PtRs
Cries, threats, and loud laments, and mingled war: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtbxLwkn544
The noise approaches, tho' our palace stood 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAejNaDq2kWr
Aloof from streets, encompass'd with a wood. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYT6zHClKdL
Louder, and yet more loud, I hear th' alarms 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2pWE03Vcyj
Of human cries distinct, and clashing arms. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAC4RAyrsatR
Fear broke my slumbers; I no longer stay, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnnccnBvc7S
But mount the terrace, thence the town survey, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANANx6uDpssWn
And hearken what the frightful sounds convey. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgeILbMvvR5
Thus, when a flood of fire by wind is borne, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYcpXKuppCI
Crackling it rolls, and mows the standing corn; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzTV9fNTDvb
Or deluges, descending on the plains, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1MxPTMRGP6
Sweep o'er the yellow year, destroy the pains 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA79dMSJM5eY
Of lab'ring oxen and the peasant's gains; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHUJMzVVYSL
Unroot the forest oaks, and bear away 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmbdJlPBR6g
Flocks, folds, and trees, and undistinguish'd prey: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgir7wgLfOc
The shepherd climbs the cliff, and sees from far 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhh6YDmZ4ho
The wasteful ravage of the wat'ry war. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAw6V5JOJBOW
Then Hector's faith was manifestly clear'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeqEgO0k3Wt
And Grecian frauds in open light appear'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhW4dxstj1Q
The palace of Deiphobus ascends 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADX75Y4dDte
In smoky flames, and catches on his friends. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAAAsrRw9dAZ
Ucalegon burns next: the seas are bright 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhaPbcWg3nD
With splendor not their own, and shine with Trojan light. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAk2nf3PT9nE
New clamors and new clangors now arise, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAu2aQOLoZ2y
The sound of trumpets mix'd with fighting cries. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFkZSkGtpmM
With frenzy seiz'd, I run to meet th' alarms, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3AJHrmMax4
Resolv'd on death, resolv'd to die in arms, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXgZNXeuvgt
But first to gather friends, with them t' oppose 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAX9psvbaHWF
(If fortune favor'd) and repel the foes; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASb8l9pzpAx
Spurr'd by my courage, by my country fir'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbNJXdVNSso
With sense of honor and revenge inspir'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAD2vyLwDiGz
"Pantheus, Apollo's priest, a sacred name, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdIyJD52U3c
Had scap'd the Grecian swords, and pass'd the flame: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAo0bHLIaJJH
With relics loaden. to my doors he fled, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhK8L7PJk2y
And by the hand his tender grandson led. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJ325qb8QPw
'What hope, O Pantheus? whither can we run? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzWLYsri5XX
Where make a stand? and what may yet be done?' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAO0fBfg40uV
Scarce had I said, when Pantheus, with a groan: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAq248oHS66z
'Troy is no more, and Ilium was a town! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAm64Bsp8IKn
The fatal day, th' appointed hour, is come, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjBSojArgNa
When wrathful Jove's irrevocable doom 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiFM892WbkH
Transfers the Trojan state to Grecian hands. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZQYCB1FZ5N
The fire consumes the town, the foe commands; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWdvBRBqACX
And armed hosts, an unexpected force, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtFbSYO3lT3
Break from the bowels of the fatal horse. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdLaSbvU9iA
Within the gates, proud Sinon throws about 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA9IthoosP8
The flames; and foes for entrance press without, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASStHDV7KxL
With thousand others, whom I fear to name, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcoKCW4WTuz
More than from Argos or Mycenae came. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA66eigT64DL
To sev'ral posts their parties they divide; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjwhLiujHuM
Some block the narrow streets, some scour the wide: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6pJPpwDVfP
The bold they kill, th' unwary they surprise; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAP0VmrSPwdS
Who fights finds death, and death finds him who flies. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXj2TV2FdUf
The warders of the gate but scarce maintain 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAR8wpum7kXn
Th' unequal combat, and resist in vain.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFVqlOzsoUm
"I heard; and Heav'n, that well-born souls inspires, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAag1FJXeUF9
Prompts me thro' lifted swords and rising fires 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUKcvrviaJF
To run where clashing arms and clamor calls, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGRLTfg3P3n
And rush undaunted to defend the walls. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbsPZmP0CDN
Ripheus and Iph'itus by my side engage, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANArEOgbknVgr
For valor one renown'd, and one for age. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZkjD51fu6j
Dymas and Hypanis by moonlight knew 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAS0A7kk57Co
My motions and my mien, and to my party drew; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4u9aLt6OxD
With young Coroebus, who by love was led 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHZrPPch3sY
To win renown and fair Cassandra's bed, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4FWt51EwQa
And lately brought his troops to Priam's aid, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANANWsQr7aFJn
Forewarn'd in vain by the prophetic maid. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWw1PSaEbxq
Whom when I saw resolv'd in arms to fall, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAO16qKzjYM9
And that one spirit animated all: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJwxTgvaNIX
'Brave souls!' said I,- 'but brave, alas! in vain- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgGsEFCoFin
Come, finish what our cruel fates ordain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1D5mPbzJyF
You see the desp'rate state of our affairs, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJdzxu0c2ZI
And heav'n's protecting pow'rs are deaf to pray'rs. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7qKqpjlesz
The passive gods behold the Greeks defile 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHB7YAsj6nN
Their temples, and abandon to the spoil 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFotOGFAJi1
Their own abodes: we, feeble few, conspire 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnQqsbCIFV9
To save a sinking town, involv'd in fire. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5tAVtVeaPF
Then let us fall, but fall amidst our foes: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKN8TjdohxL
Despair of life the means of living shows.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJvgV9CYN1Y
So bold a speech incourag'd their desire 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcBfjR5bAuQ
Of death, and added fuel to their fire. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAupqftZYN6l
"As hungry wolves, with raging appetite, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbAhWLNoj25
Scour thro' the fields, nor fear the stormy night- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1ESpjEEhVf
Their whelps at home expect the promis'd food, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiWU1U6fl0W
And long to temper their dry chaps in blood- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAwRPyDTCg22
So rush'd we forth at once; resolv'd to die, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQV80Vp393P
Resolv'd, in death, the last extremes to try. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuVikga4PFj
We leave the narrow lanes behind, and dare 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvIZ6N4u7kh
Th' unequal combat in the public square: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJWd5PqjZhn
Night was our friend; our leader was despair. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjqp9zbTBZV
What tongue can tell the slaughter of that night? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAu6dRdS2UqI
What eyes can weep the sorrows and affright? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvTzAlNEEgT
An ancient and imperial city falls: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFuuWAyQyWy
The streets are fill'd with frequent funerals; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA15Hopcw4h1
Houses and holy temples float in blood, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeKvQQvnQeE
And hostile nations make a common flood. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXn5M2HC0Ms
Not only Trojans fall; but, in their turn, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvnQ94AV6lc
The vanquish'd triumph, and the victors mourn. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWyiaNyzQTO
Ours take new courage from despair and night: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhVEDCevD38
Confus'd the fortune is, confus'd the fight. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtBomqyTJ5I
All parts resound with tumults, plaints, and fears; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASkixH1X0pq
And grisly Death in sundry shapes appears. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABtolgCobHU
Androgeos fell among us, with his band, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADO3lymVMJz
Who thought us Grecians newly come to land. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAw7tkSIoTDK
'From whence,' said he, 'my friends, this long delay? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAW6QwREGhfR
You loiter, while the spoils are borne away: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvhL3Mj9CkR
Our ships are laden with the Trojan store; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAa3mMl4aFJk
And you, like truants, come too late ashore.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzw6FjbllIX
He said, but soon corrected his mistake, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkEVrQMgcKR
Found, by the doubtful answers which we make: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6GOqovfsLX
Amaz'd, he would have shunn'd th' unequal fight; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvJaqBTmnPX
But we, more num'rous, intercept his flight. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9uOJ24xXy9
As when some peasant, in a bushy brake, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAq7TvKaIqni
Has with unwary footing press'd a snake; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXj14yFBCB0
He starts aside, astonish'd, when he spies 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzlqZ8c5be1
His rising crest, blue neck, and rolling eyes; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAa5tbShDKPf
So from our arms surpris'd Androgeos flies. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGTrtM1xnWU
In vain; for him and his we compass'd round, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeAMvGaYnAl
Possess'd with fear, unknowing of the ground, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACklcvukOvy
And of their lives an easy conquest found. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0fbz5AmpcA
Thus Fortune on our first endeavor smil'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4s4lw3lKos
Coroebus then, with youthful hopes beguil'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANANqlPrPAdKX
Swoln with success, and a daring mind, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA96MIyDbq94
This new invention fatally design'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAAc4FVMh9LQ
'My friends,' said he, 'since Fortune shows the way, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAx80QItr7UE
'T is fit we should th' auspicious guide obey. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFyXQVjf9N1
For what has she these Grecian arms bestow'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeOcMNUiVdG
But their destruction, and the Trojans' good? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAz6RI6hWqqQ
Then change we shields, and their devices bear: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAl2L2rkg6c8

They find us arms.' This said, himself he dress'd 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9tgoF1nHU7
In dead Androgeos' spoils, his upper vest, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADbyP8KcWiI
His painted buckler, and his plumy crest. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACGqoBDjBSO
Thus Ripheus, Dymas, all the Trojan train, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2QjygJAHSf
Lay down their own attire, and strip the slain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAt3c5rP2vl4
Mix'd with the Greeks, we go with ill presage, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALI8WJb9SyZ
Flatter'd with hopes to glut our greedy rage; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5wYdiEk6q2
Unknown, assaulting whom we blindly meet, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAoOWDfSswuV
And strew with Grecian carcasses the street. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASgn99NvY9j
Thus while their straggling parties we defeat, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAp8yu769IZm
Some to the shore and safer ships retreat; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA48xsblj0rH
And some, oppress'd with more ignoble fear, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmCybFrLRB9
Remount the hollow horse, and pant in secret there. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuNuVcYjpd1
"But, ah! what use of valor can be made, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAy8VQXEn0Tq
When heav'n's propitious pow'rs refuse their aid! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJ393Ke22CR
Behold the royal prophetess, the fair 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAIyzTKCkVRO
Cassandra, dragg'd by her dishevel'd hair, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0qb5qAw4HS
Whom not Minerva's shrine, nor sacred bands, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbQssM2FNCs
In safety could protect from sacrilegious hands: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJhBNxgZipq
On heav'n she cast her eyes, she sigh'd, she cried- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAAaYsZlbXuT
'T was all she could- her tender arms were tied. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2x9vOtSPx8
So sad a sight Coroebus could not bear; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeC319iQhER
But, fir'd with rage, distracted with despair, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAoJY5yPAN8y
Amid the barb'rous ravishers he flew: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANArk61OYO9wK
Our leader's rash example we pursue. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAl3452GlWXh
But storms of stones, from the proud temple's height, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ23xfr1vN
Pour down, and on our batter'd helms alight: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACEaYf4xWqX
We from our friends receiv'd this fatal blow, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAupKoOuy0pE
Who thought us Grecians, as we seem'd in show. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAU6un56MGbQ
They aim at the mistaken crests, from high; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARIF6h32Yah
And ours beneath the pond'rous ruin lie. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmjlWbVfG8S
Then, mov'd with anger and disdain, to see 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAW8mH30QgJ9
Their troops dispers'd, the royal virgin free, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAIwcfl2Grns
The Grecians rally, and their pow'rs unite, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAj5LN7DWcM3
With fury charge us, and renew the fight. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1l4FnGBoM1
The brother kings with Ajax join their force, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4411icJzfL
And the whole squadron of Thessalian horse. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAh4XwQELLQZ
"Thus, when the rival winds their quarrel try, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuf1WN1Snw9
Contending for the kingdom of the sky, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAoqh1BMhcKX
South, east, and west, on airy coursers borne; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALVRZM89naj
The whirlwind gathers, and the woods are torn: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA32syXZ4jYJ
Then Nereus strikes the deep; the billows rise, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA54cXodWseL
And, mix'd with ooze and sand, pollute the skies. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAc6AVpqDUir
The troops we squander'd first again appear 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0rkrR4SzJ
From several quarters, and enclose the rear. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAemrarkZ9KC
They first observe, and to the rest betray, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9SY4Krfm6L
Our diff'rent speech; our borrow'd arms survey. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvLl9K1YGqK
Oppress'd with odds, we fall; Coroebus first, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVV1Gd7Q3VS
At Pallas' altar, by Peneleus pierc'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuMspblGSj3
Then Ripheus follow'd, in th' unequal fight; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAEJub0qfQZp
Just of his word, observant of the right: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjM8bljoqg1
Heav'n thought not so. Dymas their fate attends, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjpMeZfmBMr
With Hypanis, mistaken by their friends. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASJQzMd5DZR
Nor, Pantheus, thee, thy miter, nor the bands 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjZbayeWzP8
Of awful Phoebus, sav'd from impious hands. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWawljxe8t5
Ye Trojan flames, your testimony bear, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXg4OjUfFXu
What I perform'd, and what I suffer'd there; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAonnXvJkUSC
No sword avoiding in the fatal strife, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1cNTsNmaYK
Expos'd to death, and prodigal of life; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABSCZgrl6Uw
Witness, ye heavens! I live not by my fault: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAm0ysbLjhut
I strove to have deserv'd the death I sought. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFi3maeWAQF
But, when I could not fight, and would have died, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5WflWKztlF
Borne off to distance by the growing tide, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuBMRpszL0H
Old Iphitus and I were hurried thence, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2F8x6tdCqZ
With Pelias wounded, and without defense. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0njtkQClbS
New clamors from th' invested palace ring: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbAqX2je7xk
We run to die, or disengage the king. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAOu0RcJW60x
So hot th' assault, so high the tumult rose, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjR3oslDANt
While ours defend, and while the Greeks oppose 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHBSaGGINs6
As all the Dardan and Argolic race 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcggWGBfcxK
Had been contracted in that narrow space; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAqUv7xDmiKh
Or as all Ilium else were void of fear, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlmqXL1H9vk
And tumult, war, and slaughter, only there. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASe6boos6R9
Their targets in a tortoise cast, the foes, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA89sJ7NA0LK
Secure advancing, to the turrets rose: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXiVdcgquPb
Some mount the scaling ladders; some, more bold, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAsrslomZegm
Swerve upwards, and by posts and pillars hold; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4lVxIHf83
Their left hand gripes their bucklers in th' ascent, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXdfZUYme7m
While with their right they seize the battlement. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAeenMBVXii8
From their demolish'd tow'rs the Trojans throw 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABnHkDNQgbq
Huge heaps of stones, that, falling, crush the foe; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmOFi1KifOG
And heavy beams and rafters from the sides 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7yHJDgHyNe
(Such arms their last necessity provides) 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ys3xokmZu
And gilded roofs, come tumbling from on high, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8MZ196HWHr
The marks of state and ancient royalty. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAwooa0LNlZH
The guards below, fix'd in the pass, attend 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYtSmcGSZAq
The charge undaunted, and the gate defend. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ5JA1SrqL
Renew'd in courage with recover'd breath, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAq1eDReJOsK
A second time we ran to tempt our death, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAraxx4CTbbG
To clear the palace from the foe, succeed 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjb1qgfSeLw
The weary living, and revenge the dead. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgzf8trSyOs
"A postern door, yet unobserv'd and free, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANApFs0F6FQya
Join'd by the length of a blind gallery, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHwEOOZHr6l
To the king's closet led: a way well known 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPbVkwqzjDg
To Hector's wife, while Priam held the throne, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvG3UbrU7BR
Thro' which she brought Astyanax, unseen, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtwqvWJba1P
To cheer his grandsire and his grandsire's queen. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANANtxOyOJQR6
Thro' this we pass, and mount the tow'r, from whence 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9hpF5sWzrN
With unavailing arms the Trojans make defense. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgDap51GYnY
From this the trembling king had oft descried 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0rraqV0NCv
The Grecian camp, and saw their navy ride. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcgp5J8UoCV
Beams from its lofty height with swords we hew, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACj8XfpFFRn
Then, wrenching with our hands, th' assault renew; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFz5gsLHXqT
And, where the rafters on the columns meet, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzVELhtM3kc
We push them headlong with our arms and feet. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfzKSFFLqL1
The lightning flies not swifter than the fall, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVYVO41Uf19
Nor thunder louder than the ruin'd wall: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhaQIMesm9O
Down goes the top at once; the Greeks beneath 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJHwRQ6naaW
Are piecemeal torn, or pounded into death. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWAU5OmUepQ
Yet more succeed, and more to death are sent; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxMnVS9AIWW
We cease not from above, nor they below relent. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1xefPzuofH
Before the gate stood Pyrrhus, threat'ning loud, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlIgP10vPb4
With glitt'ring arms conspicuous in the crowd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAORu3aoZT2r
So shines, renew'd in youth, the crested snake, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAW8LgtlRFXr
Who slept the winter in a thorny brake, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiVz9gxFzjI
And, casting off his slough when spring returns, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cbmv2ifBI
Now looks aloft, and with new glory burns; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAenLqHqIApN
Restor'd with poisonous herbs, his ardent sides 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA33GPityuL
Reflect the sun; and rais'd on spires he rides; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuMaR1HXyOG
High o'er the grass, hissing he rolls along, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAF2cBzulCL8
And brandishes by fits his forky tongue. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWNj1exUMn7
Proud Periphas, and fierce Automedon, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPSQ8rWmWjc
His father's charioteer, together run 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0d9Tkdqvzd
To force the gate; the Scyrian infantry 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ61YWea40
Rush on in crowds, and the barr'd passage free. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARgpjPSDloC
Ent'ring the court, with shouts the skies they rend; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjVOvb0X1Xj
And flaming firebrands to the roofs ascend. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQBr8WpriQv
Himself, among the foremost, deals his blows, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmDam9IISAH
And with his ax repeated strokes bestows 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2rUW2XywMt
On the strong doors; then all their shoulders ply, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAX82KMPZlv2
Till from the posts the brazen hinges fly. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAd7myXO1rsd
He hews apace; the double bars at length 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtxdtOxlXsh
Yield to his ax and unresisted strength. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANActCbIPMyWS
A mighty breach is made: the rooms conceal'd 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALcVhRaGvfh
Appear, and all the palace is reveal'd; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGVByiCQfGf
The halls of audience, and of public state, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlIMhUASgaK
And where the lonely queen in secret sate. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZOgr69R9uL
Arm'd soldiers now by trembling maids are seen, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHejC3dJMl9
With not a door, and scarce a space, between. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnuYyGxQr7a
The house is fill'd with loud laments and cries, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAyzzgNMblws
And shrieks of women rend the vaulted skies; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7pZP3W8QI4
The fearful matrons run from place to place, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1mqfnMnqDt
And kiss the thresholds, and the posts embrace. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAwqv7y4HRUi
The fatal work inhuman Pyrrhus plies, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAORciYtwUqK
And all his father sparkles in his eyes; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAngQoQOQXbk
Nor bars, nor fighting guards, his force sustain: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8jfLwpJjo8
The bars are broken, and the guards are slain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAov0TvK2AWO
In rush the Greeks, and all the apartments fill; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0fqJb82u7n
Those few defendants whom they find, they kill. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1aFgQVYtta
Not with so fierce a rage the foaming flood 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7uqoVeZOc
Roars, when he finds his rapid course withstood; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACRHbuFI9lD
Bears down the dams with unresisted sway, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA23wDolYbOZ
And sweeps the cattle and the cots away. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUdWulrtRMj
These eyes beheld him when he march'd between 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Pr0VpQFz
The brother kings: I saw th' unhappy queen, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlAGtxeVtVB
The hundred wives, and where old Priam stood, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANANPxAhrPTHt
To stain his hallow'd altar with his brood. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8XHqPOpEiM
The fifty nuptial beds (such hopes had he, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdV0KsIdhAN
So large a promise, of a progeny), 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhMojnvN5D8
The posts, of plated gold, and hung with spoils, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Ga533E60
Fell the reward of the proud victor's toils. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAP5dzvJBx7L
Where'er the raging fire had left a space, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXETs0y0iz2
The Grecians enter and possess the place. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAEbzLnI4Edj
"Perhaps you may of Priam's fate enquire. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAciNYM5HtVX
He, when he saw his regal town on fire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZYMcjMfAHN
His ruin'd palace, and his ent'ring foes, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASnR7pjxCwS
On ev'ry side inevitable woes, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANApxCqvxi43V
In arms, disus'd, invests his limbs, decay'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAieOAXs7pNe
Like them, with age; a late and useless aid. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAe5aCS4ZRAu
His feeble shoulders scarce the weight sustain; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGcwBOxz6Mx
Loaded, not arm'd, he creeps along with pain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAsOyoiixroP
Despairing of success, ambitious to be slain! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABDei1ZE7Sf
Uncover'd but by heav'n, there stood in view 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAO3lqXGeEtE
An altar; near the hearth a laurel grew, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAqxmh8BqQOh
Dodder'd with age, whose boughs encompass round 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUrep9RUQlk
The household gods, and shade the holy ground. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdKkSn48DGk
Here Hecuba, with all her helpless train 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgc2VgEo81S
Of dames, for shelter sought, but sought in vain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABqcsm1PPhY
Driv'n like a flock of doves along the sky, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA01OYKpVH5i
Their images they hug, and to their altars fly. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAm7YtHb0Pm8
The Queen, when she beheld her trembling lord, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAE1z9UlWL3d
And hanging by his side a heavy sword, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJzohbxdWMK
'What rage,' she cried, 'has seiz'd my husband's mind? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnR4rGjwTj6
What arms are these, and to what use design'd? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFyEJdIHfPS
These times want other aids! Were Hector here, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAprWpcaKNIs
Ev'n Hector now in vain, like Priam, would appear. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGMr9Bt9tDk
With us, one common shelter thou shalt find, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACNC4ShR5Wd
Or in one common fate with us be join'd.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAzpzIGgqStG
She said, and with a last salute embrac'd 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3TkBO4y0Q7
The poor old man, and by the laurel plac'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxp5LeBerHy
Behold! Polites, one of Priam's sons, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARt1Bbxc2B2
Pursued by Pyrrhus, there for safety runs. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKFbZJ7IpDy
Thro' swords and foes, amaz'd and hurt, he flies 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAf07oWXeiTd
Thro' empty courts and open galleries. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvSvUFnkWmN
Him Pyrrhus, urging with his lance, pursues, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAIerdYV5oqU
And often reaches, and his thrusts renews. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhUgV5uvrwd
The youth, transfix'd, with lamentable cries, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhNIH5dfnHw
Expires before his wretched parent's eyes: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAqO0fHvxmRG
Whom gasping at his feet when Priam saw, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADTE8qayhKj
The fear of death gave place to nature's law; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2idpZMsqit
And, shaking more with anger than with age, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtkydxtQE9m
'The gods,' said he, 'requite thy brutal rage! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Om78TCbv
As sure they will, barbarian, sure they must, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAz4ue3U0s68
If there be gods in heav'n, and gods be just- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkoskKRtoiQ
Who tak'st in wrongs an insolent delight; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7vsgzoj4vS
With a son's death t' infect a father's sight. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtOqMOe2cWO
Not he, whom thou and lying fame conspire 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ8grkXqKK
To call thee his- not he, thy vaunted sire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUkvNbnUwfQ
Thus us'd my wretched age: the gods he fear'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAF4t2xnSCQL
The laws of nature and of nations heard. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPPDiO6TZwd
He cheer'd my sorrows, and, for sums of gold, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkccwxLlk6g
The bloodless carcass of my Hector sold; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9pyq59citg
Pitied the woes a parent underwent, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHsFDQXBT8i
And sent me back in safety from his tent.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAAxgNrFp1Ao
"This said, his feeble hand a javelin threw, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAII6Kcb1npj
Which, flutt'ring, seem'd to loiter as it flew: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAulkAQkylYi
Just, and but barely, to the mark it held, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJOiB9NY0zl
And faintly tinkled on the brazen shield. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAegCWXAWaOc
"Then Pyrrhus thus: 'Go thou from me to fate, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAt7OMFgm7TR
And to my father my foul deeds relate. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQXxGZ8MK7a
Now die!' With that he dragg'd the trembling sire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA91CHkRyFpQ
Slidd'ring thro' clotter'd blood and holy mire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKXUPoh46rU
(The mingled paste his murder'd son had made,) 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuTVJnvY7Wg
Haul'd from beneath the violated shade, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ROkCaO2r
And on the sacred pile the royal victim laid. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAncKLQ2GgAJ
His right hand held his bloody falchion bare, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAipcXZkRtJf
His left he twisted in his hoary hair; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUhkNAGhyNF
Then, with a speeding thrust, his heart he found: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1f6UOQWakh
The lukewarm blood came rushing thro' the wound, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAIJVSMZJ9Zk
And sanguine streams distain'd the sacred ground. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAu16BawOXRU
Thus Priam fell, and shar'd one common fate 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZmjnBaBVbb
With Troy in ashes, and his ruin'd state: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAs9thjKbWxM
He, who the scepter of all Asia sway'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgjuIioXLCS
Whom monarchs like domestic slaves obey'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZISvQkV08l
On the bleak shore now lies th' abandon'd king, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAi7Ak9g6VkQ
A headless carcass, and a nameless thing. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3tJ6GTCyUz
"Then, not before, I felt my cruddled blood 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6L66Qrps70
Congeal with fear, my hair with horror stood: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAe267Kmmka0
My father's image fill'd my pious mind, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHaujo2hHfP
Lest equal years might equal fortune find. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0RVPE8sYgP
Again I thought on my forsaken wife, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4BFnPKAGty
And trembled for my son's abandon'd life. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuOKOsyRskl
I look'd about, but found myself alone, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0lCrCpvjcc
Deserted at my need! My friends were gone. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAo0siR34ZEN
Some spent with toil, some with despair oppress'd, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvTaM6vNZUk
Leap'd headlong from the heights; the flames consum'd the rest. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfKPBHaraDe
Thus, wand'ring in my way, without a guide, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAqamOszbkbo
The graceless Helen in the porch I spied 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAd7Toy01dcq
Of Vesta's temple; there she lurk'd alone; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9dleczk0d
Muffled she sate, and, what she could, unknown: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7v4FJQXEPO
But, by the flames that cast their blaze around, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHAF34sE3We
That common bane of Greece and Troy I found. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADlV2Lozg3N
For Ilium burnt, she dreads the Trojan sword; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAEkIfyhqHA5
More dreads the vengeance of her injur'd lord; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2AeN6GyJbv
Ev'n by those gods who refug'd her abhorr'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvPa2sljq2p
Trembling with rage, the strumpet I regard, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxh3UYDOpLG
Resolv'd to give her guilt the due reward: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADZi4kgQKuw
'Shall she triumphant sail before the wind, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA455nNZaTCW
And leave in flames unhappy Troy behind? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAsIv6xxmXkU
Shall she her kingdom and her friends review, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmjjgkE4KnW
In state attended with a captive crew, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9hCTvrBpGg
While unreveng'd the good old Priam falls, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmIOVAKykBX
And Grecian fires consume the Trojan walls? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGqNS4rj4ra
For this the Phrygian fields and Xanthian flood 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAB60fwHqa1A
Were swell'd with bodies, and were drunk with blood? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGoVVtwXbSJ
'T is true, a soldier can small honor gain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAl6NuNR7PJW
And boast no conquest, from a woman slain: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6IVXlBvcGd
Yet shall the fact not pass without applause, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtO5xOjsheO
Of vengeance taken in so just a cause; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVnYorPxcDy
The punish'd crime shall set my soul at ease, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAqghoytujnn
And murm'ring manes of my friends appease.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARHho7CB6K7
Thus while I rave, a gleam of pleasing light 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA2bhUJ8ymnj
Spread o'er the place; and, shining heav'nly bright, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAG3dBee1CYx
My mother stood reveal'd before my sight 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYC8aA13LWY
Never so radiant did her eyes appear; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZPBQTDQwkG
Not her own star confess'd a light so clear: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZBgaOyfPh4
Great in her charms, as when on gods above 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATBXbaaiLbV
She looks, and breathes herself into their love. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATL9onCEoBN
She held my hand, the destin'd blow to break; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAamimKhnSkG
Then from her rosy lips began to speak: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACRbHrHAkcM
'My son, from whence this madness, this neglect 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5Kf5LsTUa
Of my commands, and those whom I protect? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWUUdo1VAMu
Why this unmanly rage? Recall to mind 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHxAZck6ZtZ
Whom you forsake, what pledges leave behind. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjFKEPr5YID
Look if your helpless father yet survive, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9FuJ24EHOe
Or if Ascanius or Creusa live. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA72lCN6KGIf
Around your house the greedy Grecians err; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAIP9sY1qiIa
And these had perish'd in the nightly war, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAf1DfymHW08
But for my presence and protecting care. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANALL91l4jOyz
Not Helen's face, nor Paris, was in fault; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANArXaOJsBTqn
But by the gods was this destruction brought. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAs90LcHUXPj
Now cast your eyes around, while I dissolve 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXz3u7Ogia2
The mists and films that mortal eyes involve, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAb50SyJmDws
Purge from your sight the dross, and make you see 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVlrTcZDCjO
The shape of each avenging deity. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdDukBEztB2
Enlighten'd thus, my just commands fulfil, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8TpnI7VbMb
Nor fear obedience to your mother's will. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbGSq5Y9Djy
Where yon disorder'd heap of ruin lies, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKzNYhV1cKo
Stones rent from stones; where clouds of dust arise- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKkG42jlWTs
Amid that smother Neptune holds his place, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9yDavQpwAm
Below the wall's foundation drives his mace, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA90h3ntzydl
And heaves the building from the solid base. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxryok2kutk
Look where, in arms, imperial Juno stands 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAoAaXlKEAxN
Full in the Scaean gate, with loud commands, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARYgCyDurLW
Urging on shore the tardy Grecian bands. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6gqbqAXj73
See! Pallas, of her snaky buckler proud, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA5Qm93UYyO
Bestrides the tow'r, refulgent thro' the cloud: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8sIHIDJvQn
See! Jove new courage to the foe supplies, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtXOM2Mvwol
And arms against the town the partial deities. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASIfWcwzKwM
Haste hence, my son; this fruitless labor end: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAdxayjjqyjQ
Haste, where your trembling spouse and sire attend: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVkZ20lDDiB
Haste; and a mother's care your passage shall befriend.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAT3cbShcljL
She said, and swiftly vanish'd from my sight, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAO6ZcDteYfh
Obscure in clouds and gloomy shades of night. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhcGaQJ6izO
I look'd, I listen'd; dreadful sounds I hear; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYAoZNPjwBh
And the dire forms of hostile gods appear. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAk58JOOUEoM
Troy sunk in flames I saw (nor could prevent), 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3pnJTn4OB3
And Ilium from its old foundations rent; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAr0pj1LBXTZ
Rent like a mountain ash, which dar'd the winds, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXf0ngRQjZG
And stood the sturdy strokes of lab'ring hinds. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAMoUlHWVFRK
About the roots the cruel ax resounds; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXlS5m5fZYM
The stumps are pierc'd with oft-repeated wounds: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4C44pDCFav
The war is felt on high; the nodding crown 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfvdgr3JGyb
Now threats a fall, and throws the leafy honors down. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABMdV7Wzuk4
To their united force it yields, tho' late, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0O9ZjmrHGW
And mourns with mortal groans th' approaching fate: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPxSgMNP6MW
The roots no more their upper load sustain; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiwFqmyTaCo
But down she falls, and spreads a ruin thro' the plain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZajy8RDeav
"Descending thence, I scape thro' foes and fire: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAJ43agjYHLh
Before the goddess, foes and flames retire. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1OFtH9g85a
Arriv'd at home, he, for whose only sake, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvMx4Y4PVrz
Or most for his, such toils I undertake, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAE6eeokxWbl
The good Anchises, whom, by timely flight, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFmte4k8s9H
I purpos'd to secure on Ida's height, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZrbIxCNs21
Refus'd the journey, resolute to die 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAymLbHuVl3C
And add his fun'rals to the fate of Troy, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAsu5VwdOq9c
Rather than exile and old age sustain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjtShbIQu0e
'Go you, whose blood runs warm in ev'ry vein. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAG4WJvwMlsX
Had Heav'n decreed that I should life enjoy, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWBQNyzWfYS
Heav'n had decreed to save unhappy Troy. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABDEA1APC3D
'T is, sure, enough, if not too much, for one, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjiiUrMgtHy
Twice to have seen our Ilium overthrown. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfF2mpXGocf
Make haste to save the poor remaining crew, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlhHZYnWpnk
And give this useless corpse a long adieu. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASRsZYzRJdi
These weak old hands suffice to stop my breath; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0bJKk7iJmG
At least the pitying foes will aid my death, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAOPC3KVo1ZM
To take my spoils, and leave my body bare: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAV50Dud04tR
As for my sepulcher, let Heav'n take care. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuNgpsVr3ET
'T is long since I, for my celestial wife 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAGA9rvvxpBw
Loath'd by the gods, have dragg'd a ling'ring life; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXRjUaFolmM
Since ev'ry hour and moment I expire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAu4qJ8aHN8D
Blasted from heav'n by Jove's avenging fire.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAAoLlfqNaZN
This oft repeated, he stood fix'd to die: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAK8j0h20bqT
Myself, my wife, my son, my family, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAoInpXaaVpB
Intreat, pray, beg, and raise a doleful cry- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANArsXmB3Tgb4
'What, will he still persist, on death resolve, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhGl64P9sp4
And in his ruin all his house involve!' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbD40vsqRtt
He still persists his reasons to maintain; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABSq2oTIp9m
Our pray'rs, our tears, our loud laments, are vain. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5JHfMa0UQ
"Urg'd by despair, again I go to try 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfbi3YpBoEI
The fate of arms, resolv'd in fight to die: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVMizKfKH0s
'What hope remains, but what my death must give? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAv7N2dV1jek
Can I, without so dear a father, live? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6nzC8Qk20R
You term it prudence, what I baseness call: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtIZIs73pIL
Could such a word from such a parent fall? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxLMEm5cqrS
If Fortune please, and so the gods ordain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0oFPBuACkj
That nothing should of ruin'd Troy remain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3PuFZxbM99
And you conspire with Fortune to be slain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3kYTM84EG5
The way to death is wide, th' approaches near: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtPn25NmN1d
For soon relentless Pyrrhus will appear, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAuK07vL2tCF
Reeking with Priam's blood- the wretch who slew 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4STb4yU4bl
The son (inhuman) in the father's view, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAERRJQTlWux
And then the sire himself to the dire altar drew. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5UvhyscZae
O goddess mother, give me back to Fate; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5el6PxTeEt
Your gift was undesir'd, and came too late! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWAUhq8gt3B
Did you, for this, unhappy me convey 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnHkHjg5qlp
Thro' foes and fires, to see my house a prey? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA9WTy6GsHu
Shall I my father, wife, and son behold, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAsps7VkfQH0
Welt'ring in blood, each other's arms infold? 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAateojbZKQD
Haste! gird my sword, tho' spent and overcome: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAy4QwIy5Y46
'T is the last summons to receive our doom. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvHtSTpQSQX
I hear thee, Fate; and I obey thy call! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKhIWudy8QS

Restore me to the yet unfinish'd fight: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASI4rICBUe3
My death is wanting to conclude the night.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABrJFpdkaSg
Arm'd once again, my glitt'ring sword I wield, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADWASRS4jnz
While th' other hand sustains my weighty shield, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWHoB6BtDE8
And forth I rush to seek th' abandon'd field. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACyAp1OWc80
I went; but sad Creusa stopp'd my way, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhL5hGtkpdY
And cross the threshold in my passage lay, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANArPYrPJBLQo
Embrac'd my knees, and, when I would have gone, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANASoBTY0URqX
Shew'd me my feeble sire and tender son: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlNymNe5JBR
'If death be your design, at least,' said she, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAyhdfaWxISC
'Take us along to share your destiny. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAnCyiOjkcHG
If any farther hopes in arms remain, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfJj9JsCfIc

To whom do you expose your father's life, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFu9NqsywVl
Your son's, and mine, your now forgotten wife!' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAkqOIq5NEpw
While thus she fills the house with clam'rous cries, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAck9L54E3z3
Our hearing is diverted by our eyes: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1vhzIAmBZ7
For, while I held my son, in the short space 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQbSg2gDRkz
Betwixt our kisses and our last embrace; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9Awrz1VuC9
Strange to relate, from young Iulus' head 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUbNJfecgkZ
A lambent flame arose, which gently spread 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtgPczoNuAP
Around his brows, and on his temples fed. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAyqVs4GqFGr
Amaz'd, with running water we prepare 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKGTzROOM2c
To quench the sacred fire, and slake his hair; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dz0E3AT9d
But old Anchises, vers'd in omens, rear'd 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtjy4YY2htW
His hands to heav'n, and this request preferr'd: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACp9Xc4volh
'If any vows, almighty Jove, can bend 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4y2iycJSa
Thy will; if piety can pray'rs commend, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7Da9xCxd8W
Confirm the glad presage which thou art pleas'd to send.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7J7h1yseX7
Scarce had he said, when, on our left, we hear 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtmBBz2uAVq
A peal of rattling thunder roll in air: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAi8G7MRibp4
There shot a streaming lamp along the sky, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4SOghyPnXJ
Which on the winged lightning seem'd to fly; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcldx5TjbnN
From o'er the roof the blaze began to move, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAj9Xpr4eTW1
And, trailing, vanish'd in th' Idaean grove. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAMaCwdR6BfJ
It swept a path in heav'n, and shone a guide, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAxqDnofMycM
Then in a steaming stench of sulphur died. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4LRkWRiwiq
"The good old man with suppliant hands implor'd 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlncoiUj0oL
The gods' protection, and their star ador'd. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Hhe9OWSZ
'Now, now,' said he, 'my son, no more delay! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXLm6jUZjpY

Keep, O my country gods, our dwelling place, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtgVcGBi76i
And guard this relic of the Trojan race, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5W2oGi2Lhi
This tender child! These omens are your own, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYTStyaOHn0
And you can yet restore the ruin'd town. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfKbapSa7T8
At least accomplish what your signs foreshow: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAy0ZKlZ1OuC
I stand resign'd, and am prepar'd to go.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcxkvEDh4rh
"He said. The crackling flames appear on high. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAslULYWrald
And driving sparkles dance along the sky. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAMEO7PeNEGx
With Vulcan's rage the rising winds conspire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3W5tJAAatg
And near our palace roll the flood of fire. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAK0ALrK3V1e
'Haste, my dear father, ('t is no time to wait,) 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADsnKAKAeaj
And load my shoulders with a willing freight. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACKnOHX7Vq5
Whate'er befalls, your life shall be my care; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABXAfUoF95P
One death, or one deliv'rance, we will share. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhoKRAWolPg
My hand shall lead our little son; and you, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAQldLcS1u6O
My faithful consort, shall our steps pursue. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfjBCoQLU6F
Next, you, my servants, heed my strict commands: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAvqNMcoWvk8
Without the walls a ruin'd temple stands, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAoq5y6PW83O
To Ceres hallow'd once; a cypress nigh 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAwaNfE64xEF
Shoots up her venerable head on high, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3qhgavQada
By long religion kept; there bend your feet, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAH74hZnEXGw
And in divided parties let us meet. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAe7eYvf6XMU
Our country gods, the relics, and the bands, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAtnfHhb4Wwj
Hold you, my father, in your guiltless hands: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUtMNouklxE
In me 't is impious holy things to bear, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1xNZPZ1ikn
Red as I am with slaughter, new from war, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAK5olRdwayC
Till in some living stream I cleanse the guilt 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA8qUQqZDuBj
Of dire debate, and blood in battle spilt.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5536ZpdwJj
Thus, ord'ring all that prudence could provide, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAYJgioRBAwh
I clothe my shoulders with a lion's hide 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1zEOcAvYYn
And yellow spoils; then, on my bending back, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWUf2ZK4XO7
The welcome load of my dear father take; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcPSft3gYus
While on my better hand Ascanius hung, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAsjbgnoQ5KD
And with unequal paces tripp'd along. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7xgQ5s7LTA
Creusa kept behind; by choice we stray 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAo4dowte3VR
Thro' ev'ry dark and ev'ry devious way. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXKqoSbIkim
I, who so bold and dauntless, just before, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAmIeDrc2sTS
The Grecian darts and shock of lances bore, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATU6UqzJVVL
At ev'ry shadow now am seiz'd with fear, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANADrIv5IzBe6
Not for myself, but for the charge I bear; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7kvMe8wa0k
Till, near the ruin'd gate arriv'd at last, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKQsfXQ21Pw
Secure, and deeming all the danger past, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9vwm7Pb08A
A frightful noise of trampling feet we hear. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAjwOeaaw0bL
My father, looking thro' the shades, with fear, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAiZsRujCP42
Cried out: 'Haste, haste, my son, the foes are nigh; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9SPw3Gv1ea
Their swords and shining armor I descry.' 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABNR2Gr1TqB
Some hostile god, for some unknown offense, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANARxkCUDqya7
Had sure bereft my mind of better sense; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANArafISUeTvH
For, while thro' winding ways I took my flight, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAwluzGn9cy7
And sought the shelter of the gloomy night, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAO4r5vZKvJ5
Alas! I lost Creusa: hard to tell 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5SHx0DvtuS
If by her fatal destiny she fell, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVaoHAhVgBN
Or weary sate, or wander'd with affright; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAqqZX8xDYDn
But she was lost for ever to my sight. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAS5E4hnjtqr
I knew not, or reflected, till I meet 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWbBHdyAB0L
My friends, at Ceres' now deserted seat. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA0JLacGoS54
We met: not one was wanting; only she 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATASbla4wzz
Deceiv'd her friends, her son, and wretched me. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dw43VCyqa
"What mad expressions did my tongue refuse! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA9XyZWxNItO
Whom did I not, of gods or men, accuse! 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA74GSXxGLDG
This was the fatal blow, that pain'd me more 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAZKRiW2NJBs
Than all I felt from ruin'd Troy before. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAcY1w5JaiYN
Stung with my loss, and raving with despair, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhHOlDpV3Tp
Abandoning my now forgotten care, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAgKDirbtEXo
Of counsel, comfort, and of hope bereft, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4JUWZoknLx
My sire, my son, my country gods I left. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA1xlyHWkqAW
In shining armor once again I sheathe 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAt2sxliASfE
My limbs, not feeling wounds, nor fearing death. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAaZdlqdg7lK
Then headlong to the burning walls I run, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAlIO959aMIP
And seek the danger I was forc'd to shun. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAm8v3JQyhn4
I tread my former tracks; thro' night explore 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA3qbmRe05lF
Each passage, ev'ry street I cross'd before. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAx2KJQ0UObP
All things were full of horror and affright, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA4vVSN6y0pT
And dreadful ev'n the silence of the night. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAXDPSqtVoHt
Then to my father's house I make repair, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA5w2edmucKd
With some small glimpse of hope to find her there. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABaNsI4N7Zc
Instead of her, the cruel Greeks I met; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAVfn35lsxGS
The house was fill'd with foes, with flames beset. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAHq5QkOJPfx
Driv'n on the wings of winds, whole sheets of fire, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACPHQmGxtRK
Thro' air transported, to the roofs aspire. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6La8CuQV06
From thence to Priam's palace I resort, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAWLh4mY8Xjo
And search the citadel and desart court. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATYABDUXGSn
Then, unobserv'd, I pass by Juno's church: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANATo1p88xv6I
A guard of Grecians had possess'd the porch; 1404Please respect copyright.PENANACzImiiQeKD
There Phoenix and Ulysses watch prey, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAfqNYXbwvW2
And thither all the wealth of Troy convey: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANABXOoGIEnMX
The spoils which they from ransack'd houses brought, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAryCRoptBKl
And golden bowls from burning altars caught, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAagWbS1kIQw
The tables of the gods, the purple vests, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANA6NpRsMNLOR
The people's treasure, and the pomp of priests. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAMzCu4oDKhl
A rank of wretched youths, with pinion'd hands, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAPJhpFnpLep
And captive matrons, in long order stands. 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAbqmMX5mGxN
Then, with ungovern'd madness, I proclaim, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAUX39Fc1rT0
Thro' all the silent street, Creusa's name: 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAA781UyLtSx
Creusa still I call; at length she hears, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAFEApd7IWTM
And sudden thro' the shades of night appears- 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAKEkI4zjGb8
Appears, no more Creusa, nor my wife, 1404Please respect copyright.PENANAhVbBWwDvEL
