Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMOVb02w41n
Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea; 888Please respect copyright.PENANACp7iN8F1ic
Then, casting back his eyes, with dire amaze, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUBJDa9Xqtf
Sees on the Punic shore the mounting blaze. 888Please respect copyright.PENANACAlSNRnglq
The cause unknown; yet his presaging mind 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2erHtCbtiL
The fate of Dido from the fire divin'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOAwgyObkpa
He knew the stormy souls of womankind, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQfdskM6V9E
What secret springs their eager passions move, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKquHJP6dKv
How capable of death for injur'd love. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtdcFEDkj3F
Dire auguries from hence the Trojans draw; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2CZ7xD4alr
Till neither fires nor shining shores they saw. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgmn04p12rq
Now seas and skies their prospect only bound; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAr9VXfGnVTw
An empty space above, a floating field around. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAl6IzwOa0fV
But soon the heav'ns with shadows were o'erspread; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAoWnEaeaA64
A swelling cloud hung hov'ring o'er their head: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9MjhEa8yHZ
Livid it look'd, the threat'ning of a storm: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvND72STMsz
Then night and horror ocean's face deform. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqie9szEKcX
The pilot, Palinurus, cried aloud: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkcTRfDQU2f
"What gusts of weather from that gath'ring cloud 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8ewydZCcBf
My thoughts presage! Ere yet the tempest roars, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1xelm5JRlG
Stand to your tackle, mates, and stretch your oars; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAeslrNaaqol
Contract your swelling sails, and luff to wind." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdQy98ByLbu
The frighted crew perform the task assign'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAc6NxqwJn0b
Then, to his fearless chief: "Not Heav'n," said he, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAemrR8bZpOM
"Tho' Jove himself should promise Italy, 888Please respect copyright.PENANATIT0mv5adM
Can stem the torrent of this raging sea. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbgJ0t81XMH
Mark how the shifting winds from west arise, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAheFydTIYKQ
And what collected night involves the skies! 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4BhqARKSqZ
Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFjxY3L0zDh
Much less against the tempest force their way. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2mTRWvyAnB
'T is fate diverts our course, and fate we must obey. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVtMeSZ1SGa
Not far from hence, if I observ'd aright 888Please respect copyright.PENANAo0k2ctQIuh
The southing of the stars, and polar light, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXTFKLYPzvF
Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUCYoMMKxiM
In safety we may reach with struggling oars." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvMJQOYNYJn
Aeneas then replied: "Too sure I find 888Please respect copyright.PENANAv6NRySrJ06
We strive in vain against the seas and wind: 888Please respect copyright.PENANANjON2PoP4E
Now shift your sails; what place can please me more 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMpbXwYBSvN
Than what you promise, the Sicilian shore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAw9W1jQZuFQ
Whose hallow'd earth Anchises' bones contains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3iE4kw5tIT
And where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns?" 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtH07QHdGD9
The course resolv'd, before the western wind 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEkayXLecL5
They scud amain, and make the port assign'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAroTg0BqBPw
Meantime Acestes, from a lofty stand, 888Please respect copyright.PENANADjW8VnASOv
Beheld the fleet descending on the land; 888Please respect copyright.PENANASJQZyYcP5N
And, not unmindful of his ancient race, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAget5SKCkKI
Down from the cliff he ran with eager pace, 888Please respect copyright.PENANArnow2SoRVd
And held the hero in a strict embrace. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzGaAUpvTO0
Of a rough Libyan bear the spoils he wore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9m9cfc28Tb
And either hand a pointed jav'lin bore. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzMNDErGSLk
His mother was a dame of Dardan blood; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3Esjfv5Diq
His sire Crinisus, a Sicilian flood. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkWoAAS0V2g
He welcomes his returning friends ashore 888Please respect copyright.PENANADV28FFToe5
With plenteous country cates and homely store. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4YOZUKFDCP
Now, when the following morn had chas'd away 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPy4rqYMuRd
The flying stars, and light restor'd the day, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvBQq6adCIS
Aeneas call'd the Trojan troops around, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGATVj1D8nj
And thus bespoke them from a rising ground: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAORZyGChvcz
"Offspring of heav'n, divine Dardanian race! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAa5JVl3eZAb
The sun, revolving thro' th' ethereal space, 888Please respect copyright.PENANALLPoXL4bft
The shining circle of the year has fill'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZZOmaeyaks
Since first this isle my father's ashes held: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxu2CivJbgv
And now the rising day renews the year; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgp1W9tIH9i
A day for ever sad, for ever dear. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyBiztiD1Wr
This would I celebrate with annual games, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFeyaIkFvkR
With gifts on altars pil'd, and holy flames, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA84FkEvOM0b
Tho' banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANArRaj9Nh4bN
Caught on the Grecian seas, or hostile lands: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAN2bZaJJI1E
But since this happy storm our fleet has driv'n 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFfpCpQ4cCf
(Not, as I deem, without the will of Heav'n) 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPopThx45Dr
Upon these friendly shores and flow'ry plains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjtOhv7EH2i
Which hide Anchises and his blest remains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAaIxZJUz7JT
Let us with joy perform his honors due, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwRMhYHm30k
And pray for prosp'rous winds, our voyage to renew; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAt8kFdEmWLB
Pray, that in towns and temples of our own, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAH1T5DQ4rVF
The name of great Anchises may be known, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKTWX1UKRJU
And yearly games may spread the gods' renown. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdGqDLVzCou
Our sports Acestes, of the Trojan race, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMkYVtBcUNm
With royal gifts ordain'd, is pleas'd to grace: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAD3OL8V3Gkr
Two steers on ev'ry ship the king bestows; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIA7o3zClLq
His gods and ours shall share your equal vows. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAh9mbvDF4uu
Besides, if, nine days hence, the rosy morn 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6jvdiv9wR1
Shall with unclouded light the skies adorn, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0a4uuv7UHv
That day with solemn sports I mean to grace: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYqUH4n7W
Light galleys on the seas shall run a wat'ry race; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyTvjF9u4oI
Some shall in swiftness for the goal contend, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAg2buYhcQRe
And others try the twanging bow to bend; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFROdGIGQeP
The strong, with iron gauntlets arm'd, shall stand 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJoqA1tzr5d
Oppos'd in combat on the yellow sand. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvuUWasgIYR
Let all be present at the games prepar'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXgMTn6cmIZ
And joyful victors wait the just reward. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAj5UhwpsM9o
But now assist the rites, with garlands crown'd." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJrZL5K0Rfa
He said, and first his brows with myrtle bound. 888Please respect copyright.PENANASTMABqV94W
Then Helymus, by his example led, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3kpos6qdoc
And old Acestes, each adorn'd his head; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZXbWY5jdd
Thus young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABUCqDVLgbV
His temples tied, and all the Trojan race. 888Please respect copyright.PENANARDoFwWWSkS
Aeneas then advanc'd amidst the train, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOjhHrRbwNu
By thousands follow'd thro' the flow'ry plain, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAd3G6yE5pRX
To great Anchises' tomb; which when he found, 888Please respect copyright.PENANALuDNaaKs8U
He pour'd to Bacchus, on the hallow'd ground, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAs71QJ9XbZ6
Two bowls of sparkling wine, of milk two more, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ9r3ae3H5
And two (from offer'd bulls) of purple gore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPb4HI77Gvx
With roses then the sepulcher he strow'd 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmwLxwORwxH
And thus his father's ghost bespoke aloud: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHs8mbqh8vZ
"Hail, O ye holy manes! hail again, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9YQcgtxHHh
Paternal ashes, now review'd in vain! 888Please respect copyright.PENANALI54XzdW57
The gods permitted not, that you, with me, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtUL6cDQaPc
Should reach the promis'd shores of Italy, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAc1eHEE1qMn
Or Tiber's flood, what flood soe'er it be." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGX80VZY6tS
Scarce had he finish'd, when, with speckled pride, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAaD2UUlnP9V
A serpent from the tomb began to glide; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0gzXQiyNu
His hugy bulk on sev'n high volumes roll'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqWZOFFW71z
Blue was his breadth of back, but streak'd with scaly gold: 888Please respect copyright.PENANASbRM0F1mzx
Thus riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnwD6fxxV8P
A rolling fire along, and singe the grass. 888Please respect copyright.PENANASyzsquj3YF
More various colors thro' his body run, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0koBYh0nZa
Than Iris when her bow imbibes the sun. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0F9pFzpAIR
Betwixt the rising altars, and around, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAr4mvp7C77X
The sacred monster shot along the ground; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhSKqQ4TuO0
With harmless play amidst the bowls he pass'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhafgr5eD67
And with his lolling tongue assay'd the taste: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUHCqBhF9Nu
Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGAJejxGsfg
Within the hollow tomb retir'd to rest. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAexcaMAUDHo
The pious prince, surpris'd at what he view'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwdxGvzmKwX
The fun'ral honors with more zeal renew'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAs8kKsFoK5R
Doubtful if this place's genius were, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJERklWssDz
Or guardian of his father's sepulcher. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgznuFbqjfc
Five sheep, according to the rites, he slew; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHQvXTMQwDO
As many swine, and steers of sable hue; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8w9D1tHEFj
New gen'rous wine he from the goblets pour'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEmRnVrpIeE
And call'd his father's ghost, from hell restor'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUDr56azczU
The glad attendants in long order come, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAiuEEOvABAY
Off'ring their gifts at great Anchises' tomb: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMjM6GCcgEj
Some add more oxen: some divide the spoil; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYhHdRN9FIT
Some place the chargers on the grassy soil; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuXAjQbYb9J
Some blow the fires, and off entrails broil. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdJnU4qecam
Now came the day desir'd. The skies were bright 888Please respect copyright.PENANAssfSHsr9T1
With rosy luster of the rising light: 888Please respect copyright.PENANArWJJLTpvSU
The bord'ring people, rous'd by sounding fame 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbavNJDrhb1
Of Trojan feasts and great Acestes' name, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGTM6ZefE9m
The crowded shore with acclamations fill, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5Zr5tA6So
Part to behold, and part to prove their skill. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAItCIFiqC5e
And first the gifts in public view they place, 888Please respect copyright.PENANATTHevBBNP0
Green laurel wreaths, and palm, the victors' grace: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtCSGtE2H4Z
Within the circle, arms and tripods lie, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3KVi1Uxeg
Ingots of gold and silver, heap'd on high, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6yU7QITs5C
And vests embroider'd, of the Tyrian dye. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAX4QRTsTaXs
The trumpet's clangor then the feast proclaims, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhNxaaGRUug
And all prepare for their appointed games. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXhpbNbdwrV
Four galleys first, which equal rowers bear, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdIR4vL8TiK
Advancing, in the wat'ry lists appear. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxhOTwlhy7x
The speedy Dolphin, that outstrips the wind, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAARXfBOjsQq
Bore Mnestheus, author of the Memmian kind: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1slBEhcsR6
Gyas the vast Chimaera's bulk commands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAG9bQA9gZp8
Which rising, like a tow'ring city stands; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZhFqyBcVjr
Three Trojans tug at ev'ry lab'ring oar; 888Please respect copyright.PENANApfQn1qNtzD
Three banks in three degrees the sailors bore; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXA1GNNZ31R
Beneath their sturdy strokes the billows roar. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXXe8bF4SR2
Sergesthus, who began the Sergian race, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAf2ZTtvPlmH
In the great Centaur took the leading place; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAG5zcHumClR
Cloanthus on the sea-green Scylla stood, 888Please respect copyright.PENANANpLJWRQH1m
From whom Cluentius draws his Trojan blood. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJxSjuBnS9Y
Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAoRTrmUekGX
There stands a rock: the raging billows roar 888Please respect copyright.PENANANJyZAGc5Bv
Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqBQKU5iXDo
Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAaLBKzNLMt9
In peace below the gentle waters run; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0HW2ubqoXR
The cormorants above lie basking in the sun. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAA2JG4RwgM1
On this the hero fix'd an oak in sight, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAj6MGj4zZxn
The mark to guide the mariners aright. 888Please respect copyright.PENANArA1Q9cIK0Q
To bear with this, the seamen stretch their oars; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ww4gVXhFR
Then round the rock they steer, and seek the former shores. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6PZyRVo0xu
The lots decide their place. Above the rest, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2gHDYyWDml
Each leader shining in his Tyrian vest; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlcwXwWExaF
The common crew with wreaths of poplar boughs 888Please respect copyright.PENANA27PrT6T2AT
Their temples crown, and shade their sweaty brows: 888Please respect copyright.PENANADgZIqHc4HC
Besmear'd with oil, their naked shoulders shine. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAQyfQcfDSf
All take their seats, and wait the sounding sign: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkWEEIxwOp0
They gripe their oars; and ev'ry panting breast 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGTjJywTt8u
Is rais'd by turns with hope, by turns with fear depress'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvddhiQuyp1
The clangor of the trumpet gives the sign; 888Please respect copyright.PENANARMF0UCLhSC
At once they start, advancing in a line: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAM1hVsbPta2
With shouts the sailors rend the starry skies; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAe3Olnv5iWh
Lash'd with their oars, the smoky billows rise; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ0RCdH1Ig
Sparkles the briny main, and the vex'd ocean fries. 888Please respect copyright.PENANATN7jzerUCo
Exact in time, with equal strokes they row: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPhd5WSINjX
At once the brushing oars and brazen prow 888Please respect copyright.PENANAITycR7E1Id
Dash up the sandy waves, and ope the depths below. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEr3Ww9Drek
Not fiery coursers, in a chariot race, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvHWmii6U9P
Invade the field with half so swift a pace; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmwJj9ogIM4
Not the fierce driver with more fury lends 888Please respect copyright.PENANADhqr4YQOEo
The sounding lash, and, ere the stroke descends, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9cslyE4smd
Low to the wheels his pliant body bends. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwVuhh82H2o
The partial crowd their hopes and fears divide, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKQmArQVzQ7
And aid with eager shouts the favor'd side. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIUm8oR5c2H
Cries, murmurs, clamors, with a mixing sound, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWnFuu8AOcD
From woods to woods, from hills to hills rebound. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4Giz2CHrWY
Amidst the loud applauses of the shore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHXFpFybVVk
Gyas outstripp'd the rest, and sprung before: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAn6HhOna4d
Cloanthus, better mann'd, pursued him fast, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzAaovbMeFW
But his o'er-masted galley check'd his haste. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGOc5JylMkF
The Centaur and the Dolphin brush the brine 888Please respect copyright.PENANABZzNyT9yi6
With equal oars, advancing in a line; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAq7SFuU0ggv
And now the mighty Centaur seems to lead, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABbqvyLWQ21
And now the speedy Dolphin gets ahead; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqmthzFmZuY
Now board to board the rival vessels row, 888Please respect copyright.PENANACycfVUmnT4
The billows lave the skies, and ocean groans below. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGmLmCgHUXn
They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train 888Please respect copyright.PENANALUTK8YY9I8
In triumph rode, the victors of the main; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlQtJ6Sg2eg
But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot stand 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbfk4szV5sY
More close to shore, and skim along the sand- 888Please respect copyright.PENANALJtBTEnxXP
"Let others bear to sea!" Menoetes heard; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxPi0DwUVGG
But secret shelves too cautiously he fear'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnF0XWrE105
And, fearing, sought the deep; and still aloof he steer'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyhoSZn7jlp
With louder cries the captain call'd again: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4NcGLxi4yd
"Bear to the rocky shore, and shun the main." 888Please respect copyright.PENANABIhQ8jZBWX
He spoke, and, speaking, at his stern he saw 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWb9TOLhaMN
The bold Cloanthus near the shelvings draw. 888Please respect copyright.PENANATLVdVurT8M
Betwixt the mark and him the Scylla stood, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA530nKFPrme
And in a closer compass plow'd the flood. 888Please respect copyright.PENANASR1N567jrE
He pass'd the mark; and, wheeling, got before: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsnMpWIs68l
Gyas blasphem'd the gods, devoutly swore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKSHOgYjdGa
Cried out for anger, and his hair he tore. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9aDu7lj5HW
Mindless of others' lives (so high was grown 888Please respect copyright.PENANALR2dwwyMVz
His rising rage) and careless of his own, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABaMypyFRvE
The trembling dotard to the deck he drew; 888Please respect copyright.PENANApjk0kDRVcG
Then hoisted up, and overboard he threw: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHxvky46Ld2
This done, he seiz'd the helm; his fellows cheer'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQn2cT0PSbq
Turn'd short upon the shelfs, and madly steer'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANARvny3zo1uE
Hardly his head the plunging pilot rears, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAASAH290xKp
Clogg'd with his clothes, and cumber'd with his years: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6TZDC5m6CZ
Now dropping wet, he climbs the cliff with pain. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6NftrLy80I
The crowd, that saw him fall and float again, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPcqOzESdhJ
Shout from the distant shore; and loudly laugh'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5SYwyRaLwO
To see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draught. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEPRvwQnH3m
The following Centaur, and the Dolphin's crew, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAj2tNyz7uNv
Their vanish'd hopes of victory renew; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAH9bAXgaf9r
While Gyas lags, they kindle in the race, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvjsINzbQ56
To reach the mark. Sergesthus takes the place; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAI6nIpHgwQa
Mnestheus pursues; and while around they wind, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuvfxpAPGoE
Comes up, not half his galley's length behind; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAeIfA6wisYA
Then, on the deck, amidst his mates appear'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANACwCVNIkrIN
And thus their drooping courage he cheer'd: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMt1DKRj0nZ
"My friends, and Hector's followers heretofore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGwfz3TTOOS
Exert your vigor; tug the lab'ring oar; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlDIVmvHoZ2
Stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcZeFq9aOqt
Whom from the flaming walls of Troy I drew. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA98s740kv9D
In this, our common int'rest, let me find 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfSG72jTqgd
That strength of hand, that courage of the mind, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsl5FpWWaLI
As when you stemm'd the strong Malean flood, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjyAfGtxtQr
And o'er the Syrtes' broken billows row'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8C0KdAG8m5
I seek not now the foremost palm to gain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANApsZ0X5CzCc
Tho' yet- but, ah! that haughty wish is vain! 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5zY8CB6vN9
Let those enjoy it whom the gods ordain. 888Please respect copyright.PENANACwsoFaN0NB
But to be last, the lags of all the race!- 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbX9iNkuJ7n
Redeem yourselves and me from that disgrace." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ9dvM2wjC
Now, one and all, they tug amain; they row 888Please respect copyright.PENANApNY8sTWM1G
At the full stretch, and shake the brazen prow. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUnHIgSHJUY
The sea beneath 'em sinks; their lab'ring sides 888Please respect copyright.PENANAB5ZNDh0y3L
Are swell'd, and sweat runs gutt'ring down in tides. 888Please respect copyright.PENANApB7YGv0yJS
Chance aids their daring with unhop'd success; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyekxPfaIh9
Sergesthus, eager with his beak to press 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWPACVO82iG
Betwixt the rival galley and the rock, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAs3xB8HKWOK
Shuts up th' unwieldly Centaur in the lock. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqmQ8txr0q3
The vessel struck; and, with the dreadful shock, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZEKh57RETu
Her oars she shiver'd, and her head she broke. 888Please respect copyright.PENANABEqHBN30d4
The trembling rowers from their banks arise, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABKihcBhVto
And, anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmDDeVN5Wzk
With iron poles they heave her off the shores, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvJOyCvdQ7u
And gather from the sea their floating oars. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAb5mpc4aro9
The crew of Mnestheus, with elated minds, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtKXG3p0uNx
Urge their success, and call the willing winds; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzrKGHbN0G1
Then ply their oars, and cut their liquid way 888Please respect copyright.PENANATZr4WhICER
In larger compass on the roomy sea. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuMfMonsbyF
As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYsNQBqXJR9
Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8hrX9bvQTL
The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwfY5URwzNR
And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmyANUWHKGq
At first she flutters; but at length she springs 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsVqwwyLB5H
To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkMnuvMHaEg
So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOsR80SOIzm
And, flying with a force, that force assists his way. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5SuUQd6fon
Sergesthus in the Centaur soon he pass'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAaMZB67Sxuo
Wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtTLkuaYKU0
In vain the victor he with cries implores, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmdjH7eYdl3
And practices to row with shatter'd oars. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7tt93fuY49
Then Mnestheus bears with Gyas, and outflies: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA15GQpq01sS
The ship, without a pilot, yields the prize. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuSjUkyij4u
Unvanquish'd Scylla now alone remains; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjAPhQqsYqI
Her he pursues, and all his vigor strains. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGnv2BnrDXH
Shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmbp7V6xpBr
Applauding Echo to the shouts replies; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAukEilk9nT7
Shouts, wishes, and applause run rattling thro' the skies. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUT1rKII6ZF
These clamors with disdain the Scylla heard, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbEOemQqDTF
Much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHjxl4sCPLE
Resolv'd to hold their own, they mend their pace, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAA9Wsc7273m
All obstinate to die, or gain the race. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQnGtO0o9X1
Rais'd with success, the Dolphin swiftly ran; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYMaRwqDvi5
For they can conquer, who believe they can. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgc0CIdjimX
Both urge their oars, and fortune both supplies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANATu85NK5jGk
And both perhaps had shar'd an equal prize; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAidI0BJnzCM
When to the seas Cloanthus holds his hands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvRKBI3vd4P
And succor from the wat'ry pow'rs demands: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcyDTrE3UMd
"Gods of the liquid realms, on which I row! 888Please respect copyright.PENANALIusWzGFtK
If, giv'n by you, the laurel bind my brow, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3cG0ORZbf3
Assist to make me guilty of my vow! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIa8G6J9cNO
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuPOK0tj78j
His offer'd entrails cast into the main, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA51Uf6Pv9wb
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1OONCVGDpt
Your grateful gift and my return shall own." 888Please respect copyright.PENANA90CkIkqDTF
The choir of nymphs, and Phorcus, from below, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAISieLpsOTO
With virgin Panopea, heard his vow; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZJEJxo0ohr
And old Portunus, with his breadth of hand, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMikfWKHkly
Push'd on, and sped the galley to the land. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAiwcgFEdwlp
Swift as a shaft, or winged wind, she flies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3TKTgdkLw
And, darting to the port, obtains the prize. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGyz1VOP7Rp
The herald summons all, and then proclaims 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuZm6vUg8Yg
Cloanthus conqu'ror of the naval games. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZakJbX5Whr
The prince with laurel crowns the victor's head, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAS1TU4GK52Z
And three fat steers are to his vessel led, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAS24rW48pY8
The ship's reward; with gen'rous wine beside, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAv1LRE82O6W
And sums of silver, which the crew divide. 888Please respect copyright.PENANABzqJqHH7Zx
The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPSvjfQIecr
The victor honor'd with a nobler vest, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAW4KmEUbCFk
Where gold and purple strive in equal rows, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0pFoRKA6GH
And needlework its happy cost bestows. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyElK2TsnHt
There Ganymede is wrought with living art, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0FAr1sMJUg
Chasing thro' Ida's groves the trembling hart: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAs6XmmJmEuu
Breathless he seems, yet eager to pursue; 888Please respect copyright.PENANApxk3hKkv84
When from aloft descends, in open view, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAh6gOibJIm9
The bird of Jove, and, sousing on his prey, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAToKj4M7fe9
With crooked talons bears the boy away. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQbMJss9utt
In vain, with lifted hands and gazing eyes, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAY6egVqlm6D
His guards behold him soaring thro' the skies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnguH0AtQ2m
And dogs pursue his flight with imitated cries. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXjrEH2cJWD
Mnestheus the second victor was declar'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyNmi1MU9tD
And, summon'd there, the second prize he shard. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkHDf8VHhLK
A coat of mail, brave Demoleus bore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6zqc3y2z4X
More brave Aeneas from his shoulders tore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAP6lbruEuOa
In single combat on the Trojan shore: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzhZQpeRyHw
This was ordain'd for Mnestheus to possess; 888Please respect copyright.PENANACF4QygXqye
In war for his defense, for ornament in peace. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfJAuuQPjpn
Rich was the gift, and glorious to behold, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAODAoKlgTFW
But yet so pond'rous with its plates of gold, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcs1Zf9WBhf
That scarce two servants could the weight sustain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANACPcNqfE6wv
Yet, loaded thus, Demoleus o'er the plain 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsLKqS60qPO
Pursued and lightly seiz'd the Trojan train. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIylGdvUiep
The third, succeeding to the last reward, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAF0pr5XPAlJ
Two goodly bowls of massy silver shar'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWR1GFdLAew
With figures prominent, and richly wrought, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQXWfqRVtaY
And two brass caldrons from Dodona brought. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIAU6tIwRBV
Thus all, rewarded by the hero's hands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5oX648ATzy
Their conqu'ring temples bound with purple bands; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4Irsd66qTM
And now Sergesthus, clearing from the rock, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOkwPhejqUr
Brought back his galley shatter'd with the shock. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAaEuKXKNg9Y
Forlorn she look'd, without an aiding oar, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0nCtsNMCpy
And, houted by the vulgar, made to shore. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAobIh4LZIsm
As when a snake, surpris'd upon the road, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWsXzQMOWx5
Is crush'd athwart her body by the load 888Please respect copyright.PENANARtTcFTc58t
Of heavy wheels; or with a mortal wound 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQVmoz6VuyO
Her belly bruis'd, and trodden to the ground: 888Please respect copyright.PENANANUFTGVWMhh
In vain, with loosen'd curls, she crawls along; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAeqKfivNIAo
Yet, fierce above, she brandishes her tongue; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6bCpazGjQJ
Glares with her eyes, and bristles with her scales; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAps7eSTnG01
But, groveling in the dust, her parts unsound she trails: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2jfzYoHBZm
So slowly to the port the Centaur tends, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAnf2BKtLuD
But, what she wants in oars, with sails amends. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcUZqQuZeSj
Yet, for his galley sav'd, the grateful prince 888Please respect copyright.PENANADXY847Ug2r
Is pleas'd th' unhappy chief to recompense. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAi0U19SZV9L
Pholoe, the Cretan slave, rewards his care, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABlHA8fLO32
Beauteous herself, with lovely twins as fair. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmjWta4AtbN
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent 888Please respect copyright.PENANASWqU5mt4Tt
Into the neighb'ring plain, with mountains pent, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtmGDpRYW14
Whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXBarrnmGSz
Full in the midst of this fair valley stood 888Please respect copyright.PENANAchudOMXVHR
A native theater, which, rising slow 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwdtrcBt1ct
By just degrees, o'erlook'd the ground below. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4HeyUs21vV
High on a sylvan throne the leader sate; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8OdGdzgnDI
A num'rous train attend in solemn state. 888Please respect copyright.PENANASljshzUDAI
Here those that in the rapid course delight, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVmwCPoN6S2
Desire of honor and the prize invite. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbD7mAiB9dJ
The rival runners without order stand; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAR2y44gY1Mm
The Trojans mix'd with the Sicilian band. 888Please respect copyright.PENANADonc6gqyKX
First Nisus, with Euryalus, appears; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVJeNxNiHo8
Euryalus a boy of blooming years, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcXAVOS5Azj
With sprightly grace and equal beauty crown'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqrFyf0OGd8
Nisus, for friendship to the youth renown'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzp9FhAD2U1
Diores next, of Priam's royal race, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3nKpbyNRfh
Then Salius joined with Patron, took their place; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbAzGfdEhfG
(But Patron in Arcadia had his birth, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyXFTYF96s4
And Salius his from Arcananian earth;) 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcfgQgmgmV0
Then two Sicilian youths- the names of these, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtdUgmnD6oB
Swift Helymus, and lovely Panopes: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAt5bHzJD4rq
Both jolly huntsmen, both in forest bred, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAc61E7mOEnq
And owning old Acestes for their head; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtSnJTtueRj
With sev'ral others of ignobler name, 888Please respect copyright.PENANADYAgketDPC
Whom time has not deliver'd o'er to fame. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkM5SAOaZIY
To these the hero thus his thoughts explain'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5GOgBZ4p7G
In words which gen'ral approbation gain'd: 888Please respect copyright.PENANANeK5XONAYz
"One common largess is for all design'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8QNqhE1DNJ
(The vanquish'd and the victor shall be join'd,) 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfu2XboqLMR
Two darts of polish'd steel and Gnosian wood, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnSj7BsjCSS
A silver-studded ax, alike bestow'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAe89yid8ycj
The foremost three have olive wreaths decreed: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxLZTXVo6CY
The first of these obtains a stately steed, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYJN4jYOLNJ
Adorn'd with trappings; and the next in fame, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7lzqA2eWxM
The quiver of an Amazonian dame, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAd8iwKmYige
With feather'd Thracian arrows well supplied: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAl8rbfgtYpC
A golden belt shall gird his manly side, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZBr8befBAV
Which with a sparkling diamond shall be tied. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIImz9HVKYI
The third this Grecian helmet shall content." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKtRmJdZfoj
He said. To their appointed base they went; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOzgnY2XxeS
With beating hearts th' expected sign receive, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUJurgX3Nlq
And, starting all at once, the barrier leave. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIxfVk5lu7K
Spread out, as on the winged winds, they flew, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEo60gaCZ7z
And seiz'd the distant goal with greedy view. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3ahNDKm5sf
Shot from the crowd, swift Nisus all o'erpass'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmEiFgd0R4j
Nor storms, nor thunder, equal half his haste. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAP4sQnbBrqj
The next, but tho' the next, yet far disjoin'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAiyoel6dG5e
Came Salius, and Euryalus behind; 888Please respect copyright.PENANABMgR1exIPe
Then Helymus, whom young Diores plied, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWvHCDCmQoN
Step after step, and almost side by side, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMGbnyX1aFo
His shoulders pressing; and, in longer space, 888Please respect copyright.PENANASZvF8uODNG
Had won, or left at least a dubious race. 888Please respect copyright.PENANANUlqCbEpl1
Now, spent, the goal they almost reach at last, 888Please respect copyright.PENANATAgghwAPRI
When eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAepX5b3FWZh
Slipp'd first, and, slipping, fell upon the plain, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlzxXccE1QA
Soak'd with the blood of oxen newly slain. 888Please respect copyright.PENANArKfIo68ijy
The careless victor had not mark'd his way; 888Please respect copyright.PENANALXj0gE2NIW
But, treading where the treach'rous puddle lay, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzeDfILJTYd
His heels flew up; and on the grassy floor 888Please respect copyright.PENANAeQGNjZeRN1
He fell, besmear'd with filth and holy gore. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJp5uORj4L0
Not mindless then, Euryalus, of thee, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkrxOnBY6iT
Nor of the sacred bonds of amity, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAh8DjH1Z0JR
He strove th' immediate rival's hope to cross, 888Please respect copyright.PENANASLCo52hll8
And caught the foot of Salius as he rose. 888Please respect copyright.PENANARFMSBE5xqD
So Salius lay extended on the plain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ2MliI7jc
Euryalus springs out, the prize to gain, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAp0if0Pr88A
And leaves the crowd: applauding peals attend 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdWiSaKRt9B
The victor to the goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnSI2W18f4y
Next Helymus; and then Diores came, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUW1WYKXoGS
By two misfortunes made the third in fame. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgZeVauTSWw
But Salius enters, and, exclaiming loud 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVbTqC8s0rE
For justice, deafens and disturbs the crowd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANABpGICwl4uY
Urges his cause may in the court be heard; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAu5L1v0X2FI
And pleads the prize is wrongfully conferr'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhtQXVU8BZJ
But favor for Euryalus appears; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjv3fgSE92c
His blooming beauty, with his tender tears, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAgC7nzACn2
Had brib'd the judges for the promis'd prize. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvyBZGe8DNO
Besides, Diores fills the court with cries, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7I9PQ4QCdY
Who vainly reaches at the last reward, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAag02QBu1CM
If the first palm on Salius be conferr'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMRFCiF8gnf
Then thus the prince: "Let no disputes arise: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIO9S5CUQdu
Where fortune plac'd it, I award the prize. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1aGQraJMX3
But fortune's errors give me leave to mend, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtbhmqYEjgL
At least to pity my deserving friend." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgntg1nPGgh
He said, and, from among the spoils, he draws 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdo1R1FrJjg
(Pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws) 888Please respect copyright.PENANA22tZzlP7VS
A lion's hide: to Salius this he gives. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3vDvuuHBXv
Nisus with envy sees the gift, and grieves. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOIXjHQJnUo
"If such rewards to vanquish'd men are due." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUyHNfRAelX
He said, "and falling is to rise by you, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAE4YmuHTIHA
What prize may Nisus from your bounty claim, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMQTLx5VWYr
Who merited the first rewards and fame? 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8YE3xUyRPF
In falling, both an equal fortune tried; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHbwzxBwmvH
Would fortune for my fall so well provide!" 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFdYFJTZdvJ
With this he pointed to his face, and show'd 888Please respect copyright.PENANA89U4nPFOaY
His hand and all his habit smear'd with blood. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAH8VK917k5V
Th' indulgent father of the people smil'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANASbaV22RO6t
And caus'd to be produc'd an ample shield, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzIE5lqMdjw
Of wondrous art, by Didymaon wrought, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAV98E8XT0ZA
Long since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAynMoG1dEUz
This giv'n to Nisus, he divides the rest, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAj49M8RKPQw
And equal justice in his gifts express'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYWG6D3R1vH
The race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAL1EWDTnRz4
Once more the princes bespeaks th' attentive crowd: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdHolVgpX0s
"If there he here whose dauntless courage dare 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdwbkYAiqfI
In gauntlet-fight, with limbs and body bare, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAE5F8Dra8B5
His opposite sustain in open view, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1cCsm5Mu7Z
Stand forth the champion, and the games renew. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtxF12mQzxE
Two prizes I propose, and thus divide: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAz2BPP0lC8r
A bull with gilded horns, and fillets tied, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPcXD1cPKZF
Shall be the portion of the conqu'ring chief; 888Please respect copyright.PENANALotFkX2Wob
A sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAp2PuC5qU4P
Then haughty Dares in the lists appears; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPBqGJlrVXT
Stalking he strides, his head erected bears: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXiUwdYUTJ7
His nervous arms the weighty gauntlet wield, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAT4QeOwB08d
And loud applauses echo thro' the field. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsSw4MsChtt
Dares alone in combat us'd to stand 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnwvnBur2i0
The match of mighty Paris, hand to hand; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOC5NqveEz6
The same, at Hector's fun'rals, undertook 888Please respect copyright.PENANAomhFyk5dOG
Gigantic Butes, of th' Amycian stock, 888Please respect copyright.PENANACDg7BgjcPM
And, by the stroke of his resistless hand, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAv9M7NUz6u1
Stretch'd the vast bulk upon the yellow sand. 888Please respect copyright.PENANANkvylH3YLS
Such Dares was; and such he strode along, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4Js8CZc5U3
And drew the wonder of the gazing throng. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7H3SikuQ7n
His brawny back and ample breast he shows, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcSdsnYTxVm
His lifted arms around his head he throws, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcRLO0zbk41
And deals in whistling air his empty blows. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqHkFaI5qFK
His match is sought; but, thro' the trembling band, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAREnVsJrkqC
Not one dares answer to the proud demand. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJmNn7Zmowu
Presuming of his force, with sparkling eyes 888Please respect copyright.PENANAG8g8Z9ax6V
Already he devours the promis'd prize. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7PuooxNuO0
He claims the bull with awless insolence, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGoVlmbG0ox
And having seiz'd his horns, accosts the prince: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuLCYV7KpN6
"If none my matchless valor dares oppose, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqJqNWWkBEo
How long shall Dares wait his dastard foes? 888Please respect copyright.PENANAy8fUktEOwh
Permit me, chief, permit without delay, 888Please respect copyright.PENANApR2gtAkt7c
To lead this uncontended gift away." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsZZeNRyOHK
The crowd assents, and with redoubled cries 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXXtcxm63Ml
For the proud challenger demands the prize. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyomkuFYp64
Acestes, fir'd with just disdain, to see 888Please respect copyright.PENANALMpINyLS1k
The palm usurp'd without a victory, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAK9VnSCb3jr
Reproach'd Entellus thus, who sate beside, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAshOcZzW0ms
And heard and saw, unmov'd, the Trojan's pride: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA72eUxUJlsK
"Once, but in vain, a champion of renown, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAeEh3LgREH3
So tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQYFbNQeKfX
A prize in triumph borne before your sight, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwVdduOvaf0
And shun, for fear, the danger of the fight? 888Please respect copyright.PENANADPhc64vP2c
Where is our Eryx now, the boasted name, 888Please respect copyright.PENANACjtvYMIVzA
The god who taught your thund'ring arm the game? 888Please respect copyright.PENANApFBdwcMmxQ
Where now your baffled honor? Where the spoil 888Please respect copyright.PENANAW10esVoRRC
That fill'd your house, and fame that fill'd our isle?" 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEVYp9ecjZE
Entellus, thus: "My soul is still the same, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcQc97GRL1C
Unmov'd with fear, and mov'd with martial fame; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA580JG0jsIr
But my chill blood is curdled in my veins, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGQH9Gg9ooL
And scarce the shadow of a man remains. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAI9GWkuTMUd
O could I turn to that fair prime again, 888Please respect copyright.PENANASpjDSzLek1
That prime of which this boaster is so vain, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4QweR4HlKe
The brave, who this decrepid age defies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyqqY7btbIn
Should feel my force, without the promis'd prize." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAexWV2Zoh7a
He said; and, rising at the word, he threw 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcdBXXMS979
Two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3wlTFyu3Cf
Gauntlets which Eryx wont in fight to wield, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPjPUoo9YU1
And sheathe his hands with in the listed field. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFHet9LNJt2
With fear and wonder seiz'd, the crowd beholds 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7kvQjhrOcn
The gloves of death, with sev'n distinguish'd folds 888Please respect copyright.PENANAju1PxkFOTn
Of tough bull hides; the space within is spread 888Please respect copyright.PENANAiWQwUhA9Fx
With iron, or with loads of heavy lead: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAiLUZDBkBZU
Dares himself was daunted at the sight, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnRlrdX7e6t
Renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd to fight. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxi4LJ8G2kY
Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMgAdzLCaNX
And pois'd the pond'rous engines in his hands. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmOY1Sd6GSe
"What had your wonder," said Entellus, "been, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAt0nYPBYrcj
Had you the gauntlets of Alcides seen, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmyo14tGM6c
Or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green! 888Please respect copyright.PENANABvqKpqGvBp
These which I bear your brother Eryx bore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPhJIb5I3uJ
Still mark'd with batter'd brains and mingled gore. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9IZg8RLnqL
With these he long sustain'd th' Herculean arm; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA08b1ngeUj7
And these I wielded while my blood was warm, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6omZTSTZj
This languish'd frame while better spirits fed, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjeuzQnNJqI
Ere age unstrung my nerves, or time o'ersnow'd my head. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1tt2xeRNVu
But if the challenger these arms refuse, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5svd7xYnoI
And cannot wield their weight, or dare not use; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAad09mz6kGv
If great Aeneas and Acestes join 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFh7n9qMKw0
In his request, these gauntlets I resign; 888Please respect copyright.PENANADCalpnibb2
Let us with equal arms perform the fight, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABX6AG86u3g
And let him leave to fear, since I resign my right." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkFvaxbvAfr
This said, Entellus for the strife prepares; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhhxoaWEqsQ
Stripp'd of his quilted coat, his body bares; 888Please respect copyright.PENANABfrM0Dnd1Q
Compos'd of mighty bones and brawn he stands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAGnVXtYYuE
A goodly tow'ring object on the sands. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAO4hvhGdaJD
Then just Aeneas equal arms supplied, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8gBmnVtrcA
Which round their shoulders to their wrists they tied. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvk77Sm7bAr
Both on the tiptoe stand, at full extent, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnfPKokMmH4
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVhTJxz9D61
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkO5DyYIzuF
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA31tXNHNa5R
One on his youth and pliant limbs relies; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAy5PDQlxxBt
One on his sinews and his giant size. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHWBUFNOXRw
The last is stiff with age, his motion slow; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMhw5IGKJmk
He heaves for breath, he staggers to and fro, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfecaTyE5fg
And clouds of issuing smoke his nostrils loudly blow. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYgyn13YhBM
Yet equal in success, they ward, they strike; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyr7qLoa01u
Their ways are diff'rent, but their art alike. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA02lpm1DgVD
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGNsaSBpP0B
Their hollow sides the rattling thumps resound. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhWJ6R25vkT
A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAt3ficqKax9
And errs about their temples, ears, and eyes. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPhZBbvZYPB
Nor always errs; for oft the gauntlet draws 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYXCHTPrPsX
A sweeping stroke along the crackling jaws. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwmnvH8PNNo
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAd4OuUfY6yW
But with his warping body wards the wound. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3TVbq96rqb
His hand and watchful eye keep even pace; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvMMe9WbNOs
While Dares traverses and shifts his place, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAO5LzhGjiww
And, like a captain who beleaguers round 888Please respect copyright.PENANAp1MYvzMatC
Some strong-built castle on a rising ground, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGBHqFGAnuP
Views all th' approaches with observing eyes: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5NsDDADV5s
This and that other part in vain he tries, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAaoqDZ1ucPK
And more on industry than force relies. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbOOw34YYa0
With hands on high, Entellus threats the foe; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1OzZtZPFqZ
But Dares watch'd the motion from below, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2OHWYGjQUD
And slipp'd aside, and shunn'd the long descending blow. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAU5vKK72RS5
Entellus wastes his forces on the wind, 888Please respect copyright.PENANADRc4rc6fg8
And, thus deluded of the stroke design'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANArDOewjfQNJ
Headlong and heavy fell; his ample breast 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJReSotBNvL
And weighty limbs his ancient mother press'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANARD2gq8Nno7
So falls a hollow pine, that long had stood 888Please respect copyright.PENANABtBxaMG77c
On Ida's height, or Erymanthus' wood, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgp9HFVrhmp
Torn from the roots. The diff'ring nations rise, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQj3jp4J7qx
And shouts and mingled murmurs rend the skies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAO1Dak2G3kq
Acestus runs with eager haste, to raise 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfdQ6hpEU8d
The fall'n companion of his youthful days. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA47ZGpJ8c9b
Dauntless he rose, and to the fight return'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfPz3teB3ql
With shame his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury burn'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANApmOl9HFasf
Disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, 888Please respect copyright.PENANApy2dpliXgy
And with redoubled force his foe he press'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANACpm3mLHGOH
He lays on load with either hand, amain, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYG1XTc4QzW
And headlong drives the Trojan o'er the plain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAstAY1RFn0Y
Nor stops, nor stays; nor rest nor breath allows; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAwme5OWRXD
But storms of strokes descend about his brows, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAr0R0EOwwAh
A rattling tempest, and a hail of blows. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAixbeJk2ygd
But now the prince, who saw the wild increase 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcKVk3APQDh
Of wounds, commands the combatants to cease, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAo5yLWh8Hbm
And bounds Entellus' wrath, and bids the peace. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2w9aHHG6Jl
First to the Trojan, spent with toil, he came, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMleqYkBDso
And sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7BztvwOc3c
"What fury seiz'd my friend? The gods," said he, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmkEbLbGSaR
"To him propitious, and averse to thee, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnojnkbKVSX
Have giv'n his arm superior force to thine. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhlnXgwk0w6
'T is madness to contend with strength divine." 888Please respect copyright.PENANApknI5u0vXJ
The gauntlet fight thus ended, from the shore 888Please respect copyright.PENANANP1qnfQS2r
His faithful friends unhappy Dares bore: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAk5XgT2jpUP
His mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAx8vDdvuqwb
And pounded teeth came rushing with his blood. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcdRCZm1wvI
Faintly he stagger'd thro' the hissing throng, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjuX4e5NzXV
And hung his head, and trail'd his legs along. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYGheICrhPQ
The sword and casque are carried by his train; 888Please respect copyright.PENANALhhRBB80o4
But with his foe the palm and ox remain. 888Please respect copyright.PENANABDArErRkjo
The champion, then, before Aeneas came, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzEre7wDzPS
Proud of his prize, but prouder of his fame: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5OOl9n4zeB
"O goddess-born, and you, Dardanian host, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFmanO0OnVW
Mark with attention, and forgive my boast; 888Please respect copyright.PENANADZYmFFmD5z
Learn what I was, by what remains; and know 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhGFe4hKRnx
From what impending fate you sav'd my foe." 888Please respect copyright.PENANALiBNWtKLoM
Sternly he spoke, and then confronts the bull; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAg594lw5Lp
And, on his ample forehead aiming full, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFN8tNtWDFZ
The deadly stroke, descending, pierc'd the skull. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5PkUREmHJo
Down drops the beast, nor needs a second wound, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6OEVmufo6O
But sprawls in pangs of death, and spurns the ground. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAO3XRwmsiDr
Then, thus: "In Dares' stead I offer this. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMGaIbRGgIy
Eryx, accept a nobler sacrifice; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGbLsZGNXF7
Take the last gift my wither'd arms can yield: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAW4nWodyDyR
Thy gauntlets I resign, and here renounce the field." 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7bfkHn1qN9
This done, Aeneas orders, for the close, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwfmHy7tJ8g
The strife of archers with contending bows. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAH6ExiTzg9V
The mast Sergesthus' shatter'd galley bore 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmwQWoT5atZ
With his own hands he raises on the shore. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA88bt0bbFDa
A flutt'ring dove upon the top they tie, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAI1hAWHZM7U
The living mark at which their arrows fly. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPNKpsDMaYg
The rival archers in a line advance, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1EKLlNxhbW
Their turn of shooting to receive from chance. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAic5QCrr4xW
A helmet holds their names; the lots are drawn: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2XmkYW3SXF
On the first scroll was read Hippocoon. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAC8MfPtOqHa
The people shout. Upon the next was found 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsFBFsJhSPs
Young Mnestheus, late with naval honors crown'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAW7frtZFYHv
The third contain'd Eurytion's noble name, 888Please respect copyright.PENANALNrLXtZyBW
Thy brother, Pandarus, and next in fame, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAoY5GRk7oA1
Whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound, 888Please respect copyright.PENANANwD1X3wNY9
And send among the Greeks a feather'd wound. 888Please respect copyright.PENANATVjJRCIR1J
Acestes in the bottom last remain'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMXAFtsBYPb
Whom not his age from youthful sports restrain'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAboLd6aPWXg
Soon all with vigor bend their trusty bows, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgnulocBUAM
And from the quiver each his arrow chose. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUMmgdloKca
Hippocoon's was the first: with forceful sway 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfRoHaOVmZu
It flew, and, whizzing, cut the liquid way. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlovzfHi3Tz
Fix'd in the mast the feather'd weapon stands: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVIRiwYnxPd
The fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9DmBdhdDGI
And the tree trembled, and the shouting cries 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuFJ3kLcSyP
Of the pleas'd people rend the vaulted skies. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3ryfpS5xSg
Then Mnestheus to the head his arrow drove, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAaPpCeT8wjC
With lifted eyes, and took his aim above, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3Y0tiFodG
But made a glancing shot, and missed the dove; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzHXwCVaRWx
Yet miss'd so narrow, that he cut the cord 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQeLWKJuILU
Which fasten'd by the foot the flitting bird. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAe7fHIBZ5Dj
The captive thus releas'd, away she flies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA87Qw8eUhgM
And beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjs4PW2nHgs
His bow already bent, Eurytion stood; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAODMg7Pn1N
And, having first invok'd his brother god, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsK6kDUL2TI
His winged shaft with eager haste he sped. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWymiw577uy
The fatal message reach'd her as she fled: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOA5CveUJuM
She leaves her life aloft; she strikes the ground, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAybLqumFQlj
And renders back the weapon in the wound. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcHiauzI1Cd
Acestes, grudging at his lot, remains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABSK2JOfRRC
Without a prize to gratify his pains. 888Please respect copyright.PENANALQzKxHznn4
Yet, shooting upward, sends his shaft, to show 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKVmecnHt0U
An archer's art, and boast his twanging bow. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5rmdEslIgA
The feather'd arrow gave a dire portent, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5eXfFfpvqz
And latter augurs judge from this event. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEAOzoDzleH
Chaf'd by the speed, it fir'd; and, as it flew, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWIH0rfRZ4K
A trail of following flames ascending drew: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4wcCUp0zeB
Kindling they mount, and mark the shiny way; 888Please respect copyright.PENANArSsMZvelwN
Across the skies as falling meteors play, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbAYCIaQ3y4
And vanish into wind, or in a blaze decay. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAn4XQNqugsm
The Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare, 888Please respect copyright.PENANASAecUyglC9
And, trembling, turn their wonder into pray'r. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3T1ifoeIcR
The Dardan prince put on a smiling face, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEjadjN116c
And strain'd Acestes with a close embrace; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlDFMfVroPw
Then, hon'ring him with gifts above the rest, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyLgQW3bsmj
Turn'd the bad omen, nor his fears confess'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuqP6xGjyiO
"The gods," said he, "this miracle have wrought, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAqD2R7zBRG
And order'd you the prize without the lot. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYp4vTtQzlW
Accept this goblet, rough with figur'd gold, 888Please respect copyright.PENANACDKRmDquiG
Which Thracian Cisseus gave my sire of old: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEFwKUa6hr5
This pledge of ancient amity receive, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzgx3fW8t85
Which to my second sire I justly give." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEgZeG654pQ
He said, and, with the trumpets' cheerful sound, 888Please respect copyright.PENANALyQPXMfA8F
Proclaim'd him victor, and with laurel-crown'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHpi4ZDu65Q
Nor good Eurytion envied him the prize, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4UYLpujphh
Tho' he transfix'd the pigeon in the skies. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5j3gTF7TlH
Who cut the line, with second gifts was grac'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUn7hzPe0WI
The third was his whose arrow pierc'd the mast. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHajqplWXBd
The chief, before the games were wholly done, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvonGo8L0YV
Call'd Periphantes, tutor to his son, 888Please respect copyright.PENANANGZsJD3ewV
And whisper'd thus: "With speed Ascanius find; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYHmRIYv1Tc
And, if his childish troop be ready join'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqp5UkVBAJt
On horseback let him grace his grandsire's day, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAU3u4hixV97
And lead his equals arm'd in just array." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZZiKyIrpAB
He said; and, calling out, the cirque he clears. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlr0PvndUNz
The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMivIHUOdub
And now the noble youths, of form divine, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvtuZZui6hq
Advance before their fathers, in a line; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXMH55WMGse
The riders grace the steeds; the steeds with glory shine. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyxMRolOcqB
Thus marching on in military pride, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAz9956cBbXl
Shouts of applause resound from side to side. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAW4yp4L1q0U
Their casques adorn'd with laurel wreaths they wear, 888Please respect copyright.PENANANitMJoYf4v
Each brandishing aloft a cornel spear. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXkQBzyA4Fv
Some at their backs their gilded quivers bore; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAysCnnzBviz
Their chains of burnish'd gold hung down before. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAC2rtZMwL59
Three graceful troops they form'd upon the green; 888Please respect copyright.PENANATR3jDU6xdh
Three graceful leaders at their head were seen; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKYkSLIYfvK
Twelve follow'd ev'ry chief, and left a space between. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwY5sNOMa41
The first young Priam led; a lovely boy, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAT6MQVzDTUq
Whose grandsire was th' unhappy king of Troy; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcEhihDoz1d
His race in after times was known to fame, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyJEfQrUbjH
New honors adding to the Latian name; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkGnmUTO3Nm
And well the royal boy his Thracian steed became. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7eAqbvvGy
White were the fetlocks of his feet before, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABXgauEN08q
And on his front a snowy star he bore. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAh8SqCP7Rxs
Then beauteous Atys, with Iulus bred, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqxOAbfx2KW
Of equal age, the second squadron led. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUXApDcxmGb
The last in order, but the first in place, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZN5FDxNEJH
First in the lovely features of his face, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAghsVxJzcNy
Rode fair Ascanius on a fiery steed, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnJNcXZkpOi
Queen Dido's gift, and of the Tyrian breed. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAts9RTDvaGU
Sure coursers for the rest the king ordains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAHY7epCw7s
With golden bits adorn'd, and purple reins. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsjzCksXMcB
The pleas'd spectators peals of shouts renew, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA79McRfmUTB
And all the parents in the children view; 888Please respect copyright.PENANABFxl23CPOX
Their make, their motions, and their sprightly grace, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAISfOcVAXIc
And hopes and fears alternate in their face. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOeRz6KSple
Th' unfledg'd commanders and their martial train 888Please respect copyright.PENANAl3DDdHGB3N
First make the circuit of the sandy plain 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlRsurQOmJL
Around their sires, and, at th' appointed sign, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdAA0FevHMk
Drawn up in beauteous order, form a line. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPz2RWACu1v
The second signal sounds, the troop divides 888Please respect copyright.PENANAv71emKsoFe
In three distinguish'd parts, with three distinguish'd guides 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOJJ3dpUs5o
Again they close, and once again disjoin; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Lq3AHtRM
In troop to troop oppos'd, and line to line. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAp23gaf68o9
They meet; they wheel; they throw their darts afar 888Please respect copyright.PENANArMzwf5lTUa
With harmless rage and well-dissembled war. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPgJQABQUzJ
Then in a round the mingled bodies run: 888Please respect copyright.PENANACuS9ZrG3ue
Flying they follow, and pursuing shun; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPioTUsQF5k
Broken, they break; and, rallying, they renew 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsqAcOr2pAT
In other forms the military shew. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjitmDXv35Q
At last, in order, undiscern'd they join, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1sV198aggy
And march together in a friendly line. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAe16rCvShs8
And, as the Cretan labyrinth of old, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAScIy7kAAcO
With wand'ring ways and many a winding fold, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4tEJnJow2b
Involv'd the weary feet, without redress, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVWs5gRnqYm
In a round error, which denied recess; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvZuqBIkKcr
So fought the Trojan boys in warlike play, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnsOrkjPpbg
Turn'd and return'd, and still a diff'rent way. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAc7deFzTIoz
Thus dolphins in the deep each other chase 888Please respect copyright.PENANAfIZUmNlIVj
In circles, when they swim around the wat'ry race. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtUA6S7b2AW
This game, these carousels, Ascanius taught; 888Please respect copyright.PENANACzd5KbCl1Y
And, building Alba, to the Latins brought; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5SbrvSvEm
Shew'd what he learn'd: the Latin sires impart 888Please respect copyright.PENANAX6MrcoT0Er
To their succeeding sons the graceful art; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAI6PA6M9yks
From these imperial Rome receiv'd the game, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAARAgKeChL2
Which Troy, the youths the Trojan troop, they name. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgA3LGbCgjz
Thus far the sacred sports they celebrate: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5f84Pdio40
But Fortune soon resum'd her ancient hate; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMUQE5valjC
For, while they pay the dead his annual dues, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAK1gILDAea2
Those envied rites Saturnian Juno views; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtQclURU2hH
And sends the goddess of the various bow, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWyZU4mzjFw
To try new methods of revenge below; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKKcIYkxs1K
Supplies the winds to wing her airy way, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgOjNYDzQRf
Where in the port secure the navy lay. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlDZuLNAhBc
Swiftly fair Iris down her arch descends, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPfu7oJxYjg
And, undiscern'd, her fatal voyage ends. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWQGM3zUUW9
She saw the gath'ring crowd; and, gliding thence, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPT3Pvg4PRi
The desart shore, and fleet without defense. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYZQ5Aigao2
The Trojan matrons, on the sands alone, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAa3QuS90H6
With sighs and tears Anchises' death bemoan; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5HAmDUuXLk
Then, turning to the sea their weeping eyes, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqRDbirtlof
Their pity to themselves renews their cries. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAv6Stq501JM
"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain 888Please respect copyright.PENANACpUJrzOUE2
For us to sail! what labors to sustain!" 888Please respect copyright.PENANApxe13ipvq8
All take the word, and, with a gen'ral groan, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxSesV5log9
Implore the gods for peace, and places of their own. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6YvyltnvZg
The goddess, great in mischief, views their pains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJCvTDUclV8
And in a woman's form her heav'nly limbs restrains. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAW2J3JWxI9m
In face and shape old Beroe she became, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8JwFMNWGag
Doryclus' wife, a venerable dame, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmZbrAp0pXJ
Once blest with riches, and a mother's name. 888Please respect copyright.PENANANdtnwSDJ2x
Thus chang'd, amidst the crying crowd she ran, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAV1S4D50ovV
Mix'd with the matrons, and these words began: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlv22AHPkTF
"O wretched we, whom not the Grecian pow'r, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYc9A0URai4
Nor flames, destroy'd, in Troy's unhappy hour! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAS7OCICBSg7
O wretched we, reserv'd by cruel fate, 888Please respect copyright.PENANADK0iAAwE5z
Beyond the ruins of the sinking state! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyWpg6L15Wm
Now sev'n revolving years are wholly run, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKzWWp7FQZn
Since this improsp'rous voyage we begun; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuaX8eovx39
Since, toss'd from shores to shores, from lands to lands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAF81rHbHK6P
Inhospitable rocks and barren sands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3LvMg4MlZQ
Wand'ring in exile thro' the stormy sea, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJkVsTziY5P
We search in vain for flying Italy. 888Please respect copyright.PENANARDbQEK7RiU
Now cast by fortune on this kindred land, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0DBtxDXvM2
What should our rest and rising walls withstand, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkAWFjLgGL1
Or hinder here to fix our banish'd band? 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4WSCOxG98F
O country lost, and gods redeem'd in vain, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3lA4OCEtyE
If still in endless exile we remain! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAB8ii0s0S9u
Shall we no more the Trojan walls renew, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnpbbJvKxfn
Or streams of some dissembled Simois view! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOzSe2cE7iR
Haste, join with me, th' unhappy fleet consume! 888Please respect copyright.PENANANDGhxfve5h
Cassandra bids; and I declare her doom. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtY00qgPpvG
In sleep I saw her; she supplied my hands 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjWTJNO3LYt
(For this I more than dreamt) with flaming brands: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAN3445nvGBe
'With these,' said she, 'these wand'ring ships destroy: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqPyWcRy93x
These are your fatal seats, and this your Troy.' 888Please respect copyright.PENANAysmO2yyGU6
Time calls you now; the precious hour employ: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsTWohZ3PsE
Slack not the good presage, while Heav'n inspires 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmDGamRfNEU
Our minds to dare, and gives the ready fires. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAlHcWimZNF
See! Neptune's altars minister their brands: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXbrw0eU2KY
The god is pleas'd; the god supplies our hands." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYfYCx3iCRb
Then from the pile a flaming fire she drew, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXJjrGWcJVi
And, toss'd in air, amidst the galleys threw. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAD7D5sIMdrW
Wrapp'd in amaze, the matrons wildly stare: 888Please respect copyright.PENANALKVOWUOZX7
Then Pyrgo, reverenc'd for her hoary hair, 888Please respect copyright.PENANARf7oiyQn3Q
Pyrgo, the nurse of Priam's num'rous race: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQx3yVxk3Ik
"No Beroe this, tho' she belies her face! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvwGidTUCnC
What terrors from her frowning front arise! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMRyJYKxrKN
Behold a goddess in her ardent eyes! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAghhDjRurTV
What rays around her heav'nly face are seen! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAl0qCGypqhi
Mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mien! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkt5pa9FVSR
Beroe but now I left, whom, pin'd with pain, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYBNpbHJw2L
Her age and anguish from these rites detain," 888Please respect copyright.PENANABVSTNFVklv
She said. The matrons, seiz'd with new amaze, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6T5kh2v8mW
Roll their malignant eyes, and on the navy gaze. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtMhGk9hXny
They fear, and hope, and neither part obey: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWibvMs1zfF
They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAac1XyiFYhh
The goddess, having done her task below, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAB5kCaW9ANJ
Mounts up on equal wings, and bends her painted bow. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAe8VWiSVn8A
Struck with the sight, and seiz'd with rage divine, 888Please respect copyright.PENANACIDiw3AuPT
The matrons prosecute their mad design: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAaXrxwmXiYS
They shriek aloud; they snatch, with impious hands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANARvN8AridJT
The food of altars; fires and flaming brands. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqX0jd8fiOP
Green boughs and saplings, mingled in their haste, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAryuxiiESSA
And smoking torches, on the ships they cast. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAM3s8sPPykY
The flame, unstopp'd at first, more fury gains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANARUsX7irumD
And Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3qJsm9iDte
Triumphant to the painted sterns he soars, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhPJWXEmju4
And seizes, in this way, the banks and crackling oars. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwEnRX2618e
Eumelus was the first the news to bear, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAErbLwcnMw4
While yet they crowd the rural theater. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwvoyFox04c
Then, what they hear, is witness'd by their eyes: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAA1do3C3S6j
A storm of sparkles and of flames arise. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9tcWg03obA
Ascanius took th' alarm, while yet he led 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKKh0aKI0zX
His early warriors on his prancing steed, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAiMpYMxTdHJ
And, spurring on, his equals soon o'erpass'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAls1MCUOVtU
Nor could his frighted friends reclaim his haste. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAw260C1fO7F
Soon as the royal youth appear'd in view, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEaDmpX3pFX
He sent his voice before him as he flew: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z0nTS9ami
"What madness moves you, matrons, to destroy 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVCUmt8KJem
The last remainders of unhappy Troy! 888Please respect copyright.PENANAS9lIzyLGWn
Not hostile fleets, but your own hopes, you burn, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGi7DFcoTVw
And on your friends your fatal fury turn. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWjFqcis3oi
Behold your own Ascanius!" While he said, 888Please respect copyright.PENANALQxQ2l35Az
He drew his glitt'ring helmet from his head, 888Please respect copyright.PENANARyVJ8JUcma
In which the youths to sportful arms he led. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA751ILV4Mz0
By this, Aeneas and his train appear; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAEvqQrU5bl
And now the women, seiz'd with shame and fear, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1GaOGLYxj4
Dispers'd, to woods and caverns take their flight, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABHLiSaWya0
Abhor their actions, and avoid the light; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAK3XP1uXoZL
Their friends acknowledge, and their error find, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAB2jT9jrjFT
And shake the goddess from their alter'd mind. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQzihqF1J3G
Not so the raging fires their fury cease, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1MskqxOSYp
But, lurking in the seams, with seeming peace, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtTkmB1SDgq
Work on their way amid the smold'ring tow, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABRZUkAqTX6
Sure in destruction, but in motion slow. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6sp1looe6B
The silent plague thro' the green timber eats, 888Please respect copyright.PENANArkKV1z8iin
And vomits out a tardy flame by fits. 888Please respect copyright.PENANArNgfwI4tJD
Down to the keels, and upward to the sails, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHPMba3kRRk
The fire descends, or mounts, but still prevails; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAByrQDQgrfq
Nor buckets pour'd, nor strength of human hand, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8h3DbW8RZG
Can the victorious element withstand. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPBMOh7XryT
The pious hero rends his robe, and throws 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGvM36noLP4
To heav'n his hands, and with his hands his vows. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA3y9jeKtY2h
"O Jove," he cried, "if pray'rs can yet have place; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhAycBmvDWr
If thou abhorr'st not all the Dardan race; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2loWuxn11W
If any spark of pity still remain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAb1bB3u2bb9
If gods are gods, and not invok'd in vain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0abGMXH3rV
Yet spare the relics of the Trojan train! 888Please respect copyright.PENANApWkDNRL1xH
Yet from the flames our burning vessels free, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMW9aS2uGTz
Or let thy fury fall alone on me! 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0euk7clLNH
At this devoted head thy thunder throw, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAAVjBylZ6eA
And send the willing sacrifice below!" 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIr5HvOJF0l
Scarce had he said, when southern storms arise: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdaZuIlPz2s
From pole to pole the forky lightning flies; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2p0vtgztUp
Loud rattling shakes the mountains and the plain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxCu5BSrJbM
Heav'n bellies downward, and descends in rain. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqFOGl7KmmX
Whole sheets of water from the clouds are sent, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqQgtWOk6q9
Which, hissing thro' the planks, the flames prevent, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA60UpjhjQRc
And stop the fiery pest. Four ships alone 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmwYWN5q6eq
Burn to the waist, and for the fleet atone. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGo9cT4KQkF
But doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtsxIWuRDUs
If he should still in Sicily reside, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcKO2YSfQ9q
Forgetful of his fates, or tempt the main, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAT760MsNQCM
In hope the promis'd Italy to gain. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcx9X5srCeD
Then Nautes, old and wise, to whom alone 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7dFrIib2D6
The will of Heav'n by Pallas was foreshown; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtpXtgWb8rG
Vers'd in portents, experienc'd, and inspir'd 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHZVRacFif2
To tell events, and what the fates requir'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7MNJU2JkKd
Thus while he stood, to neither part inclin'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4x9yXblGz
With cheerful words reliev'd his lab'ring mind: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAe7KGwq12Pf
"O goddess-born, resign'd in ev'ry state, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJnwSMK0ECH
With patience bear, with prudence push your fate. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAo34nrQtlqp
By suff'ring well, our Fortune we subdue; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAg4f8VqQPCu
Fly when she frowns, and, when she calls, pursue. 888Please respect copyright.PENANATXsVnldBRt
Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAA1GMLsCHqt
To him disclose the secrets of your mind: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8Crb1Aytlp
Trust in his hands your old and useless train; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAS47VkZrN4e
Too num'rous for the ships which yet remain: 888Please respect copyright.PENANA60it6dT5vp
The feeble, old, indulgent of their ease, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMGPNSpugRE
The dames who dread the dangers of the seas, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwsfQtOAyze
With all the dastard crew, who dare not stand 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXCNysc3CI3
The shock of battle with your foes by land. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1VQ4rwljQ3
Here you may build a common town for all, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZBUczmMmUR
And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvE5Sewjcsn
The reasons, with his friend's experience join'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqHjptKjVWe
Encourag'd much, but more disturb'd his mind. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyV2EDonv6X
'T was dead of night; when to his slumb'ring eyes 888Please respect copyright.PENANAH7PfQ0AoH7
His father's shade descended from the skies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANApIRe3AtWh3
And thus he spoke: "O more than vital breath, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnKGCl1mVmQ
Lov'd while I liv'd, and dear ev'n after death; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPF0mevb87j
O son, in various toils and troubles toss'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANApZPE367WdV
The King of Heav'n employs my careful ghost 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9CCIOZGoW3
On his commands: the god, who sav'd from fire 888Please respect copyright.PENANA8WypZgKZfz
Your flaming fleet, and heard your just desire. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKvnK4vXsrJ
The wholesome counsel of your friend receive, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAd7h4QeW6RR
And here the coward train and woman leave: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFiR2gDEI49
The chosen youth, and those who nobly dare, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnQPoIE5jTD
Transport, to tempt the dangers of the war. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFO15LoKLY5
The stern Italians will their courage try; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5NTIP00hg2
Rough are their manners, and their minds are high. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAsENeHtHWRP
But first to Pluto's palace you shall go, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA4AsE1FPtZp
And seek my shade among the blest below: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWJRxizaes9
For not with impious ghosts my soul remains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqmKwu5eDXZ
Nor suffers with the damn'd perpetual pains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA5GKHd5ox8J
But breathes the living air of soft Elysian plains. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyw1mjJgqok
The chaste Sibylla shall your steps convey, 888Please respect copyright.PENANARDST8voRSy
And blood of offer'd victims free the way. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAHaUuiuKRSA
There shall you know what realms the gods assign, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOa1G7SPKTk
And learn the fates and fortunes of your line. 888Please respect copyright.PENANADKUfAabYCP
But now, farewell! I vanish with the night, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUAnBsWIo3b
And feel the blast of heav'n's approaching light." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAOD7bMWU1qP
He said, and mix'd with shades, and took his airy flight. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9mJFialOfJ
"Whither so fast?" the filial duty cried; 888Please respect copyright.PENANArHwmjpaD5F
"And why, ah why, the wish'd embrace denied?" 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtYYfycogoV
He said, and rose; as holy zeal inspires, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhge4Jt3OCP
He rakes hot embers, and renews the fires; 888Please respect copyright.PENANArGNH7aHmo2
His country gods and Vesta then adores 888Please respect copyright.PENANACEbKZorTd7
With cakes and incense, and their aid implores. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPc6rTwlrTP
Next, for his friends and royal host he sent, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWdiTnLiFe5
Reveal'd his vision, and the gods' intent, 888Please respect copyright.PENANANHtfvDk7Pd
With his own purpose. All, without delay, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAynMEuUclym
The will of Jove, and his desires obey. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQHpioCt1Ne
They list with women each degenerate name, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAINwI3icJYN
Who dares not hazard life for future fame. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAka09pylrKN
These they cashier: the brave remaining few, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkOLsgDNxDi
Oars, banks, and cables, half consum'd, renew. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjFgfyLkMeb
The prince designs a city with the plow; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Czqfahtg
The lots their sev'ral tenements allow. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzCDz0ipPLY
This part is nam'd from Ilium, that from Troy, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlTJdGQd9dY
And the new king ascends the throne with joy; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZwScfeCEWo
A chosen senate from the people draws; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9Bc9gdzsSv
Appoints the judges, and ordains the laws. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9FaPVL6ooA
Then, on the top of Eryx, they begin 888Please respect copyright.PENANArlqlwanbvn
A rising temple to the Paphian queen. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyIO5EG9rXe
Anchises, last, is honor'd as a god; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIQis0ZDjYF
A priest is added, annual gifts bestow'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABZ35x03eQe
And groves are planted round his blest abode. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAeJbMZ1E9ry
Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAhmhgA5V5Jk
And fumes of incense in the fanes abound. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6fDVs2AQc3
Then from the south arose a gentle breeze 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmmqRmXpjB9
That curl'd the smoothness of the glassy seas; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAO48fhHdXHW
The rising winds a ruffling gale afford, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAk4riRbBoXh
And call the merry mariners aboard. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAx7PjTUBIbT
Now loud laments along the shores resound, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFpVJN3croZ
Of parting friends in close embraces bound. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAmD0mwID14t
The trembling women, the degenerate train, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAoYXLnib0gc
Who shunn'd the frightful dangers of the main, 888Please respect copyright.PENANArFAHGdaClS
Ev'n those desire to sail, and take their share 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUApY4MTMzG
Of the rough passage and the promis'd war: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlhcIsPl9HL
Whom good Aeneas cheers, and recommends 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9hSI2FZZGp
To their new master's care his fearful friends. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAREXAOBxWU5
On Eryx's altars three fat calves he lays; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZqsRvbqHhQ
A lamb new-fallen to the stormy seas; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFxN4LKSrWL
Then slips his haulsers, and his anchors weighs. 888Please respect copyright.PENANATwg2JROuV2
High on the deck the godlike hero stands, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAti6X4JJOlF
With olive crown'd, a charger in his hands; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAl4o014Zy3o
Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0CfOV2TWf
And pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. 888Please respect copyright.PENANADREWpN7B13
Fresh gales arise; with equal strokes they vie, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAp57YRVCjuI
And brush the buxom seas, and o'er the billows fly. 888Please respect copyright.PENANALFndRqV0aY
Meantime the mother goddess, full of fears, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1259738uxl
To Neptune thus address'd, with tender tears: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAx20P6HEWaV
"The pride of Jove's imperious queen, the rage, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWA5OqNkK5o
The malice which no suff'rings can assuage, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbtJSStzDOF
Compel me to these pray'rs; since neither fate, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWMzFbxBKyE
Nor time, nor pity, can remove her hate: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIAvBu6n231
Ev'n Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAR4Ir9Z7nSa
Still vanquish'd, yet she still renews the strife. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxNmdoeFOVT
As if 't were little to consume the town 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPHUp5c1mKo
Which aw'd the world, and wore th' imperial crown, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyPXpNky1af
She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjrmeCK74jY
And gnaws, ev'n to the bones, the last remains. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAb6v74vvWNg
Let her the causes of her hatred tell; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXnvNCv4xyy
But you can witness its effects too well. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJu3F8DqzaI
You saw the storm she rais'd on Libyan floods, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1om16kPuD5
That mix'd the mounting billows with the clouds; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzE1hB79NWP
When, bribing Aeolus, she shook the main, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWm71PU1Bqh
And mov'd rebellion in your wat'ry reign. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAD6rB0NbGG4
With fury she possess'd the Dardan dames, 888Please respect copyright.PENANApHG9jYJpCL
To burn their fleet with execrable flames, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIIpcNdDC5b
And forc'd Aeneas, when his ships were lost, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGvMREP48Fc
To leave his foll'wers on a foreign coast. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAO8bNOYNUN6
For what remains, your godhead I implore, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAl1dXnKj27i
And trust my son to your protecting pow'r. 888Please respect copyright.PENANALMND4IbO60
If neither Jove's nor Fate's decree withstand, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqCX62LVOhH
Secure his passage to the Latian land." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQizOds324U
Then thus the mighty Ruler of the Main: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAutcu6GoXYf
"What may not Venus hope from Neptune's reign? 888Please respect copyright.PENANABU10YyZl43
My kingdom claims your birth; my late defense 888Please respect copyright.PENANArTtxOl6bye
Of your indanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAficxAEbQxz
Nor less by land than sea my deeds declare 888Please respect copyright.PENANA11UTuAYexK
How much your lov'd Aeneas is my care. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzwzb32IjiM
Thee, Xanthus, and thee, Simois, I attest. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAdW5P2GEHg5
Your Trojan troops when proud Achilles press'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zjm89jm3d
And drove before him headlong on the plain, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAcsjCf28Fq3
And dash'd against the walls the trembling train; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlB4cTyv7sO
When floods were fill'd with bodies of the slain; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAp0A28YHiOW
When crimson Xanthus, doubtful of his way, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAU2bWMeZMES
Stood up on ridges to behold the sea; 888Please respect copyright.PENANACFq2EM2cQt
(New heaps came tumbling in, and chok'd his way;) 888Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8z6CawpIK
When your Aeneas fought, but fought with odds 888Please respect copyright.PENANArqym3lxIln
Of force unequal, and unequal gods; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWk9qBjILxB
I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA6dHa48OBDb
Sustain'd the vanquish'd, and secur'd his flight; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAgI3AIQJdEF
Ev'n then secur'd him, when I sought with joy 888Please respect copyright.PENANATbCrx9BYNk
The vow'd destruction of ungrateful Troy. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2HfeBpr2WV
My will's the same: fair goddess, fear no more, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAorbXzosX2I
Your fleet shall safely gain the Latian shore; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAWmGa23DH6j
Their lives are giv'n; one destin'd head alone 888Please respect copyright.PENANAwSWJpdoj6Y
Shall perish, and for multitudes atone." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAb2St9aay09
Thus having arm'd with hopes her anxious mind, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZyVACwP4cg
His finny team Saturnian Neptune join'd, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAED8L8BpYIG
Then adds the foamy bridle to their jaws, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAv3dsGk4bUe
And to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVeBKIULJsl
High on the waves his azure car he guides; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUk1KSPOnDG
Its axles thunder, and the sea subsides, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAS8S29KwuMm
And the smooth ocean rolls her silent tides. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIRSD3Jdz1h
The tempests fly before their father's face, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFIgElpSleH
Trains of inferior gods his triumph grace, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAxPxHIdWELd
And monster whales before their master play, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAG14wk76c3q
And choirs of Tritons crowd the wat'ry way. 888Please respect copyright.PENANARKM2GdyRBC
The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide 888Please respect copyright.PENANAXNaLzbH63b
To right and left; the gods his better side 888Please respect copyright.PENANAavbmSzs3VU
Inclose, and on the worse the Nymphs and Nereids ride. 888Please respect copyright.PENANATKZFb1IYnW
Now smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1HDL0k32o8
Within the hero's mind his joys renew'd. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAuZUIpTqbTh
He calls to raise the masts, the sheets display; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1pCBeFT6bY
The cheerful crew with diligence obey; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAq5qGzbWPit
They scud before the wind, and sail in open sea. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPPXocDN2Wx
Ahead of all the master pilot steers; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA57gigBEyAx
And, as he leads, the following navy veers. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAYAHYvkEXzQ
The steeds of Night had travel'd half the sky, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGX2DHBAiCV
The drowsy rowers on their benches lie, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0yAoyKTEn9
When the soft God of Sleep, with easy flight, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAff7PjWA0sO
Descends, and draws behind a trail of light. 888Please respect copyright.PENANA7j8oCWhTY1
Thou, Palinurus, art his destin'd prey; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIcxj2P8ui1
To thee alone he takes his fatal way. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAB8u0RydEWz
Dire dreams to thee, and iron sleep, he bears; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMzSVgtim2W
And, lighting on thy prow, the form of Phorbas wears. 888Please respect copyright.PENANABK898l9NML
Then thus the traitor god began his tale: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAy2Ybj85aFA
"The winds, my friend, inspire a pleasing gale; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFGq8NEwK6Z
The ships, without thy care, securely sail. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZhqH1lwkhG
Now steal an hour of sweet repose; and I 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzieohv1sgo
Will take the rudder and thy room supply." 888Please respect copyright.PENANAf2tLrDUITk
To whom the yawning pilot, half asleep: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAraiQ2PLJQQ
"Me dost thou bid to trust the treach'rous deep, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAg4uZyrnQmB
The harlot smiles of her dissembling face, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKiIDclAKpZ
And to her faith commit the Trojan race? 888Please respect copyright.PENANA2HYm6L9Wqr
Shall I believe the Siren South again, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAPpe4ni70Gf
And, oft betray'd, not know the monster main?" 888Please respect copyright.PENANAnjQ95oJ7mC
He said: his fasten'd hands the rudder keep, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzWR03NS81A
And, fix'd on heav'n, his eyes repel invading sleep. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAEa8a9TPojD
The god was wroth, and at his temples threw 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlJn1pLkLOU
A branch in Lethe dipp'd, and drunk with Stygian dew: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAlIk2J6T9Bo
The pilot, vanquish'd by the pow'r divine, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAvSbVIGX7Qj
Soon clos'd his swimming eyes, and lay supine. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAIBWEzpRXcu
Scarce were his limbs extended at their length, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzqtoEfQggi
The god, insulting with superior strength, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAFyFDSE1Ic4
Fell heavy on him, plung'd him in the sea, 888Please respect copyright.PENANABQoxY3RTPy
And, with the stern, the rudder tore away. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAKxRXw1VdxA
Headlong he fell, and, struggling in the main, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAd0LhfG4DZj
Cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzmu2cuDFrE
The victor daemon mounts obscure in air, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAkUJZFnVpM9
While the ship sails without the pilot's care. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAGYwiO4jbkV
On Neptune's faith the floating fleet relies; 888Please respect copyright.PENANAjOSd6szjq7
But what the man forsook, the god supplies, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQvoNMjTKu8
And o'er the dang'rous deep secure the navy flies; 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vr4iQOPkg
Glides by the Sirens' cliffs, a shelfy coast, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAqlObI7hL7z
Long infamous for ships and sailors lost, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAQasHfItYz7
And white with bones. Th' impetuous ocean roars, 888Please respect copyright.PENANA0xPDshpyQS
And rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8wwFlDQ87
The watchful hero felt the knocks, and found 888Please respect copyright.PENANAVuwqu7q6PL
The tossing vessel sail'd on shoaly ground. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAS0EVKOBt0K
Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself 888Please respect copyright.PENANAtuL91EaSW6
The helm, and steers aloof, and shuns the shelf. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAzxNs6SSnMm
Inly he griev'd, and, groaning from the breast, 888Please respect copyright.PENANAMTY5BFHcaB
Deplor'd his death; and thus his pain express'd: 888Please respect copyright.PENANAbYRP8Rxnbv
"For faith repos'd on seas, and on the flatt'ring sky, 888Please respect copyright.PENANADKBNBYhekU
Thy naked corpse is doom'd on shores unknown to lie." 888Please respect copyright.PENANA1EHL4Wkr1U
