All were attentive to the godlike man, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAE1s127pbGA
When from his lofty couch he thus began: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsM5EWKlzPn
"Great queen, what you command me to relate 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5MwRhbIwMr
Renews the sad remembrance of our fate: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Z9TlIH0b
An empire from its old foundations rent, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Mtz6AN1O
And ev'ry woe the Trojans underwent; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAz3GErgnTkL
A peopled city made a desart place; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwk8j5tNdQZ
All that I saw, and part of which I was: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAL8qnxVaRO2
Not ev'n the hardest of our foes could hear, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAx3mfE3vVBM
Nor stern Ulysses tell without a tear. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXUsLTlA7zC
And now the latter watch of wasting night, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdg9ng6O5KV
And setting stars, to kindly rest invite; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhZlZ3um7me
But, since you take such int'rest in our woe, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMbBBrLegpz
And Troy's disastrous end desire to know, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwSKTRZks0T
I will restrain my tears, and briefly tell 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9bCjxUCqLG
What in our last and fatal night befell. 690Please respect copyright.PENANApHhRt9oEwx
"By destiny compell'd, and in despair, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6ajHWKWMlk
The Greeks grew weary of the tedious war, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAztzfsKOJdP
And by Minerva's aid a fabric rear'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbKEUXibNaq
Which like a steed of monstrous height appear'd: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAR8e4rj6Fnr
The sides were plank'd with pine; they feign'd it made 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwJlPrAtspa
For their return, and this the vow they paid. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAX1Y0AtTHOk
Thus they pretend, but in the hollow side 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYK2lj224fQ
Selected numbers of their soldiers hide: 690Please respect copyright.PENANATJCRW26BiL
With inward arms the dire machine they load, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAF73kDIMdPw
And iron bowels stuff the dark abode. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9KeXD2rD2
In sight of Troy lies Tenedos, an isle 690Please respect copyright.PENANAjshttpdoKY
(While Fortune did on Priam's empire smile) 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGwhA8YwTAy
Renown'd for wealth; but, since, a faithless bay, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvt6kvbRlHt
Where ships expos'd to wind and weather lay. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWsoXz7SzqN
There was their fleet conceal'd. We thought, for Greece 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYjtocOFNOx
Their sails were hoisted, and our fears release. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5XkmvaL2lq
The Trojans, coop'd within their walls so long, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAneag7T8WPg
Unbar their gates, and issue in a throng, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGnBGptPOJ9
Like swarming bees, and with delight survey 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVMzztsaF7D
The camp deserted, where the Grecians lay: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlQNFv6SukQ
The quarters of the sev'ral chiefs they show'd; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAorPycq1CnS
Here Phoenix, here Achilles, made abode; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAzfpFLjsFV8
Here join'd the battles; there the navy rode. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAv2zJnNycIS
Part on the pile their wond'ring eyes employ: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsHSGIliC08
The pile by Pallas rais'd to ruin Troy. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA51p671uxgi
Thymoetes first ('t is doubtful whether hir'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJMySk46xSR
Or so the Trojan destiny requir'd) 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdKJmap5jKo
Mov'd that the ramparts might be broken down, 690Please respect copyright.PENANANcUc7gyI63
To lodge the monster fabric in the town. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3xbb6x9hVe
But Capys, and the rest of sounder mind, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbkwF2My3Z0
The fatal present to the flames designed, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWj752gJCGX
Or to the wat'ry deep; at least to bore 690Please respect copyright.PENANAgGn2u1JrS3
The hollow sides, and hidden frauds explore. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcla3BxExIQ
The giddy vulgar, as their fancies guide, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7TMKia4AW9
With noise say nothing, and in parts divide. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAAVHFpyN4xr
Laocoon, follow'd by a num'rous crowd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAeBjRYizcsF
Ran from the fort, and cried, from far, aloud: 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6b03KpiU9Y
'O wretched countrymen! what fury reigns? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAq5FCOFixVx
What more than madness has possess'd your brains? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAAOBW211dkw
Think you the Grecians from your coasts are gone? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAjHAkc7XD74
And are Ulysses' arts no better known? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqtxgbBcqzr
This hollow fabric either must inclose, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7zA3o7U80M
Within its blind recess, our secret foes; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfRZ3rbOwlD
Or 't is an engine rais'd above the town, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuDmFngJDkq
T' o'erlook the walls, and then to batter down. 690Please respect copyright.PENANATZhfrOtB3i
Somewhat is sure design'd, by fraud or force: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAgBXAiN7q1R
Trust not their presents, nor admit the horse.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2g2U8mGwa8
Thus having said, against the steed he threw 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ7zQEFYXf
His forceful spear, which, hissing as flew, 690Please respect copyright.PENANALYTYYHAbVq
Pierc'd thro' the yielding planks of jointed wood, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAb1PiBRvXLM
And trembling in the hollow belly stood. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1JbGIEoMmN
The sides, transpierc'd, return a rattling sound, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFUeFz2WHw3
And groans of Greeks inclos'd come issuing thro' the wound 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGfKnT9owMN
And, had not Heav'n the fall of Troy design'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAn20f0dbuWP
Or had not men been fated to be blind, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhNW0brGXsD
Enough was said and done t'inspire a better mind. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVdmKea5wJR
Then had our lances pierc'd the treach'rous wood, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7fo1t9Y4oL
And Ilian tow'rs and Priam's empire stood. 690Please respect copyright.PENANABT5Mi5ksyC
Meantime, with shouts, the Trojan shepherds bring 690Please respect copyright.PENANAflqN4D2Nqq
A captive Greek, in bands, before the king; 690Please respect copyright.PENANALk3SMPRHQq
Taken to take; who made himself their prey, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwnxMMOeFGt
T' impose on their belief, and Troy betray; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5McK3eOeHP
Fix'd on his aim, and obstinately bent 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfWwOUgJPdA
To die undaunted, or to circumvent. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA0Biq2yRFhP
About the captive, tides of Trojans flow; 690Please respect copyright.PENANATgZRVGrcii
All press to see, and some insult the foe. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmtEwAgfitu
Now hear how well the Greeks their wiles disguis'd; 690Please respect copyright.PENANARpFbk4KYNg
Behold a nation in a man compris'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEbF3zsewnI
Trembling the miscreant stood, unarm'd and bound; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAphPKxcmytg
He star'd, and roll'd his haggard eyes around, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOzis6oPK1f
Then said: 'Alas! what earth remains, what sea 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdiwjdi5qGV
Is open to receive unhappy me? 690Please respect copyright.PENANApcvej8jFFy
What fate a wretched fugitive attends, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2CZD2c2Mw
Scorn'd by my foes, abandon'd by my friends?' 690Please respect copyright.PENANATvOToMAJ95
He said, and sigh'd, and cast a rueful eye: 690Please respect copyright.PENANACgzREK6cHQ
Our pity kindles, and our passions die. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8sRSZGLY4L
We cheer youth to make his own defense, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4nttCJL8Q
And freely tell us what he was, and whence: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAczCsmk8jpr
What news he could impart, we long to know, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2lNFVD9Hki
And what to credit from a captive foe. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHIuAFYBSgp
"His fear at length dismiss'd, he said: 'Whate'er 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkolvdsvxwl
My fate ordains, my words shall be sincere: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxvpUB3Nb9O
I neither can nor dare my birth disclaim; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAb2godpjJdg
Greece is my country, Sinon is my name. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxa0v7O4RSZ
Tho' plung'd by Fortune's pow'r in misery, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAgVkaRcNwXX
'T is not in Fortune's pow'r to make me lie. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4h5Hb9zORL
If any chance has hither brought the name 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6GkpTZ8oC1
Of Palamedes, not unknown to fame, 690Please respect copyright.PENANABVEfXASdVx
Who suffer'd from the malice of the times, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA90WBTqhdvR
Accus'd and sentenc'd for pretended crimes, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAR7Q8qYDQKi
Because these fatal wars he would prevent; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6mPDWVPlBE
Whose death the wretched Greeks too late lament- 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGprCP045Om
Me, then a boy, my father, poor and bare 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5vcl2tGhyy
Of other means, committed to his care, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuikqq0Z8yV
His kinsman and companion in the war. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiGCdFbrfOb
While Fortune favor'd, while his arms support 690Please respect copyright.PENANA74jrAl1EAl
The cause, and rul'd the counsels, of the court, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dd2ThMpwV
I made some figure there; nor was my name 690Please respect copyright.PENANAinFpNCyjpu
Obscure, nor I without my share of fame. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUtJOgQjdga
But when Ulysses, with fallacious arts, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkRAtm3SXAJ
Had made impression in the people's hearts, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsj8edTJoSl
And forg'd a treason in my patron's name 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHJhTVceDXM
(I speak of things too far divulg'd by fame), 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUNdDmHgvwF
My kinsman fell. Then I, without support, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcZg4q55FbS
In private mourn'd his loss, and left the court. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAM45IGHt50v
Mad as I was, I could not bear his fate 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwAFQuuB8gb
With silent grief, but loudly blam'd the state, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoHBQkqj51T
And curs'd the direful author of my woes. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbG4Xa18z3r
'T was told again; and hence my ruin rose. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1R2VvuqSPz
I threaten'd, if indulgent Heav'n once more 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXifO1GjiW8
Would land me safely on my native shore, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmbHnVzycUa
His death with double vengeance to restore. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvUMK9GnHhc
This mov'd the murderer's hate; and soon ensued 690Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ3AQWw7f9
Th' effects of malice from a man so proud. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVor4jmIyC6
Ambiguous rumors thro' the camp he spread, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1IB1rAg4ic
And sought, by treason, my devoted head; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mil4QayPv
New crimes invented; left unturn'd no stone, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wt6ohujSh
To make my guilt appear, and hide his own; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA15ZZpOHLIV
Till Calchas was by force and threat'ning wrought- 690Please respect copyright.PENANA19gVNviA13
But why- why dwell I on that anxious thought? 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2oAMpdhlDJ
If on my nation just revenge you seek, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAleGjNB6AUd
And 't is t' appear a foe, t' appear a Greek; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxJHpEu3B9P
Already you my name and country know; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQBNOfUhFjk
Assuage your thirst of blood, and strike the blow: 690Please respect copyright.PENANASwmskUTY0X
My death will both the kingly brothers please, 690Please respect copyright.PENANALJCnDbnyEO
And set insatiate Ithacus at ease.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKYALC5zQ3n
This fair unfinish'd tale, these broken starts, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfSRqEdUIPR
Rais'd expectations in our longing hearts: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMhEgce3IGg
Unknowing as we were in Grecian arts. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWej6ZbxBE9
His former trembling once again renew'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfTzltAwL0e
With acted fear, the villain thus pursued: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlVL3UAgnsF
"'Long had the Grecians (tir'd with fruitless care, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdQEE46L073
And wearied with an unsuccessful war) 690Please respect copyright.PENANARTHJq0FsD3
Resolv'd to raise the siege, and leave the town; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3dJRcNd6p2
And, had the gods permitted, they had gone; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXjdW9DcU3T
But oft the wintry seas and southern winds 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbM6aEr90v1
Withstood their passage home, and chang'd their minds. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXMPtY8YPuI
Portents and prodigies their souls amaz'd; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVkaam4frhH
But most, when this stupendous pile was rais'd: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoBRq42D6m5
Then flaming meteors, hung in air, were seen, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaahizSv68v
And thunders rattled thro' a sky serene. 690Please respect copyright.PENANABeXu8OyPbp
Dismay'd, and fearful of some dire event, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6QxGSF4HFY
Eurypylus t' enquire their fate was sent. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA0WdnRSVkaC
He from the gods this dreadful answer brought: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmlcjouPqX7
"O Grecians, when the Trojan shores you sought, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkZinLvysTe
Your passage with a virgin's blood was bought: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJH9Vx7gfa3
So must your safe return be bought again, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAL20X3vz5LO
And Grecian blood once more atone the main." 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwrXawlafdX
The spreading rumor round the people ran; 690Please respect copyright.PENANALcccPnxRMA
All fear'd, and each believ'd himself the man. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIelKjnVYNS
Ulysses took th' advantage of their fright; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMGHB1ZukH4
Call'd Calchas, and produc'd in open sight: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJuVX5NNTtP
Then bade him name the wretch, ordain'd by fate 690Please respect copyright.PENANAt3sjpNh9GU
The public victim, to redeem the state. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcWezULhXT6
Already some presag'd the dire event, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvQpVUC4Zh0
And saw what sacrifice Ulysses meant. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOXwsfO2G7B
For twice five days the good old seer withstood 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEBUEaKodUZ
Th' intended treason, and was dumb to blood, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGoZDf2NsXj
Till, tir'd, with endless clamors and pursuit 690Please respect copyright.PENANAtrNOxXyAp8
Of Ithacus, he stood no longer mute; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAz3BdEASDng
But, as it was agreed, pronounc'd that I 690Please respect copyright.PENANAspsbLa9V4u
Was destin'd by the wrathful gods to die. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcnWtpUSIct
All prais'd the sentence, pleas'd the storm should fall 690Please respect copyright.PENANAzZfWyBHYOM
On one alone, whose fury threaten'd all. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmE9sZ4NBPT
The dismal day was come; the priests prepare 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiXNApqQNQt
Their leaven'd cakes, and fillets for my hair. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA90P42avyBe
I follow'd nature's laws, and must avow 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoYEImJYUbk
I broke my bonds and fled the fatal blow. 690Please respect copyright.PENANARmm7FCAQdi
Hid in a weedy lake all night I lay, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEwAIpV1iYq
Secure of safety when they sail'd away. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlXaFyZj3qA
But now what further hopes for me remain, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9qasuatGKx
To see my friends, or native soil, again; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3TC3bYeoAM
My tender infants, or my careful sire, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA918aMJxCcr
Whom they returning will to death require; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3H32WcCm5A
Will perpetrate on them their first design, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvf8uZ1O8wI
And take the forfeit of their heads for mine? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnYBNY5LwGK
Which, O! if pity mortal minds can move, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6vHxQSRMD2
If there be faith below, or gods above, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAibZAYixkc3
If innocence and truth can claim desert, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAT3x9W70vke
Ye Trojans, from an injur'd wretch avert.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAntJnpd8ndm
"False tears true pity move; the king commands 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2QgchcNcwI
To loose his fetters, and unbind his hands: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAScehl8vhxl
Then adds these friendly words: 'Dismiss thy fears; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAK93JbtalhG
Forget the Greeks; be mine as thou wert theirs. 690Please respect copyright.PENANALJZoVGX8Ln
But truly tell, was it for force or guile, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkXzYIU0ku5
Or some religious end, you rais'd the pile?' 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8eyAOuff20
Thus said the king. He, full of fraudful arts, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3JRtJN26C1
This well-invented tale for truth imparts: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAq6f3bHKHwr
'Ye lamps of heav'n!' he said, and lifted high 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwl37AJxUhp
His hands now free, 'thou venerable sky! 690Please respect copyright.PENANADW7yAnCpLa
Inviolable pow'rs, ador'd with dread! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnAgcZPa0kl
Ye fatal fillets, that once bound this head! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAzBKT6JmPh3
Ye sacred altars, from whose flames I fled! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOBJWitCLVo
Be all of you adjur'd; and grant I may, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAufNo7H4ZtC
Without a crime, th' ungrateful Greeks betray, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAV181CVeMhj
Reveal the secrets of the guilty state, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAanKvnuIRXf
And justly punish whom I justly hate! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAA4BKcBe5c3
But you, O king, preserve the faith you gave, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAo4uVzwjUgW
If I, to save myself, your empire save. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaviFnky15B
The Grecian hopes, and all th' attempts they made, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAV7wpTp1aYs
Were only founded on Minerva's aid. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZfx6XVonzY
But from the time when impious Diomede, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAn6xUdubbHs
And false Ulysses, that inventive head, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAv4kfrHmCYC
Her fatal image from the temple drew, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHOkbjzcnYh
The sleeping guardians of the castle slew, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAorMK7G2JS5
Her virgin statue with their bloody hands 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUDHcgMzhM2
Polluted, and profan'd her holy bands; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOfADPEOyFC
From thence the tide of fortune left their shore, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQXWlJV5BmM
And ebb'd much faster than it flow'd before: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsw5WDB5HoO
Their courage languish'd, as their hopes decay'd; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAq22gwKbENu
And Pallas, now averse, refus'd her aid. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoDoq8evmka
Nor did the goddess doubtfully declare 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGBlm4bkRBP
Her alter'd mind and alienated care. 690Please respect copyright.PENANANa3RFNE8AH
When first her fatal image touch'd the ground, 690Please respect copyright.PENANADVEwZVd8Mp
She sternly cast her glaring eyes around, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnjw6fHu3hB
That sparkled as they roll'd, and seem'd to threat: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqqHg3GiR5H
Her heav'nly limbs distill'd a briny sweat. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkaF7XtOoqe
Thrice from the ground she leap'd, was seen to wield 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnCec25u8Z7
Her brandish'd lance, and shake her horrid shield. 690Please respect copyright.PENANARlKuvwooaL
Then Calchas bade our host for flight 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3zBb20pK1S
And hope no conquest from the tedious war, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMep1IBe0Ap
Till first they sail'd for Greece; with pray'rs besought 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyRCTsNXvX7
Her injur'd pow'r, and better omens brought. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhUuKOoD766
And now their navy plows the wat'ry main, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMN7xM4Idrh
Yet soon expect it on your shores again, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUuO9i7UAUL
With Pallas pleas'd; as Calchas did ordain. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaH5fi9mcIq
But first, to reconcile the blue-ey'd maid 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJHASxLpa3l
For her stol'n statue and her tow'r betray'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAB8K4BF3R3x
Warn'd by the seer, to her offended name 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJZq5cph92t
We rais'd and dedicate this wondrous frame, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKHVAJMcg0y
So lofty, lest thro' your forbidden gates 690Please respect copyright.PENANAExsHqT2gLp
It pass, and intercept our better fates: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMUbQ5P8kWe
For, once admitted there, our hopes are lost; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcbzy8UcHNN
And Troy may then a new Palladium boast; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOhGnwdXvIb
For so religion and the gods ordain, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWjihFYlwDe
That, if you violate with hands profane 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKbGjVdurQt
Minerva's gift, your town in flames shall burn, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMaMVF63Wcp
(Which omen, O ye gods, on Graecia turn!) 690Please respect copyright.PENANAirgoVCbJdk
But if it climb, with your assisting hands, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbKDYcJNGLX
The Trojan walls, and in the city stands; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9SMcxJBEDh
Then Troy shall Argos and Mycenae burn, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIu81XFdlBc
And the reverse of fate on us return.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsHbI7dD6op
"With such deceits he gain'd their easy hearts, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAc0N0EmMIDZ
Too prone to credit his perfidious arts. 690Please respect copyright.PENANASKP8sKKrOq
What Diomede, nor Thetis' greater son, 690Please respect copyright.PENANASWAr84mN02
A thousand ships, nor ten years' siege, had done- 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfWQLbuvsmK
False tears and fawning words the city won. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAraYMIIzoGW
"A greater omen, and of worse portent, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxxJ75deK5A
Did our unwary minds with fear torment, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAb4vJq7Jf6U
Concurring to produce the dire event. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAC9U2Yw1ZwJ
Laocoon, Neptune's priest by lot that year, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Z296roFN
With solemn pomp then sacrific'd a steer; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2MyvqpNqbR
When, dreadful to behold, from sea we spied 690Please respect copyright.PENANACVFxaO4ipj
Two serpents, rank'd abreast, the seas divide, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAW5YzM5mXjn
And smoothly sweep along the swelling tide. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8QrEOfQxdH
Their flaming crests above the waves they show; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAPTIMqKcWaQ
Their bellies seem to burn the seas below; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZWnqLET7nU
Their speckled tails advance to steer their course, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAriWMRSPNeA
And on the sounding shore the flying billows force. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAotv73DJMgo
And now the strand, and now the plain they held; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhnFOC2DTuy
Their ardent eyes with bloody streaks were fill'd; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGqp7SxKXIc
Their nimble tongues they brandish'd as they came, 690Please respect copyright.PENANALORaFm06wd
And lick'd their hissing jaws, that sputter'd flame. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiwGjv2ETQq
We fled amaz'd; their destin'd way they take, 690Please respect copyright.PENANATAF2fBq1oe
And to Laocoon and his children make; 690Please respect copyright.PENANACe5dW0tHvk
And first around the tender boys they wind, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAy7MUeWuI1a
Then with their sharpen'd fangs their limbs and bodies grind. 690Please respect copyright.PENANANK059KEz7r
The wretched father, running to their aid 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXMFi2ev3fF
With pious haste, but vain, they next invade; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFsKDSEmFrP
Twice round his waist their winding volumes roll'd; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAd9NYJur0V0
And twice about his gasping throat they fold. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhYlBTE2sLO
The priest thus doubly chok'd, their crests divide, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6gk8Uth2Wg
And tow'ring o'er his head in triumph ride. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAtbWmuCVkyi
With both his hands he labors at the knots; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXTI89mMY7v
His holy fillets the blue venom blots; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHrgQM5oNtr
His roaring fills the flitting air around. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHeMg51FRz3
Thus, when an ox receives a glancing wound, 690Please respect copyright.PENANALA6gMnq91H
He breaks his bands, the fatal altar flies, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAckUZ5QntjF
And with loud bellowings breaks the yielding skies. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmpfAvQSfT3
Their tasks perform'd, the serpents quit their prey, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAundArqNlVN
And to the tow'r of Pallas make their way: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKuhu0MQkr2
Couch'd at her feet, they lie protected there 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGO30F8pGYB
By her large buckler and protended spear. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAX0fyfu7msZ
Amazement seizes all; the gen'ral cry 690Please respect copyright.PENANATjr47auQM9
Proclaims Laocoon justly doom'd to die, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2HuhxC609Q
Whose hand the will of Pallas had withstood, 690Please respect copyright.PENANALO3IhbOuFT
And dared to violate the sacred wood. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaac6Qwpk0d
All vote t' admit the steed, that vows be paid 690Please respect copyright.PENANApcnAKURShB
And incense offer'd to th' offended maid. 690Please respect copyright.PENANATbrF7Z101Q
A spacious breach is made; the town lies bare; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7q6i5jSb7k
Some hoisting-levers, some the wheels prepare 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUuLtPL8aik
And fasten to the horse's feet; the rest 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHAmMzXy6vH
With cables haul along th' unwieldly beast. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAT8ZxzkhSIL
Each on his fellow for assistance calls; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnEGE4HdsUy
At length the fatal fabric mounts the walls, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGeHIqNg6LM
Big with destruction. Boys with chaplets crown'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsn5J9RK46U
And choirs of virgins, sing and dance around. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkP44nVG7eh
Thus rais'd aloft, and then descending down, 690Please respect copyright.PENANABdEuTJYjpq
It enters o'er our heads, and threats the town. 690Please respect copyright.PENANADQBmblxVm5
O sacred city, built by hands divine! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwCJVXKNVY3
O valiant heroes of the Trojan line! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAP26KRCnLg6
Four times he struck: as oft the clashing sound 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvDYdyp82Fe
Of arms was heard, and inward groans rebound. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9jZLF1IDXh
Yet, mad with zeal, and blinded with our fate, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbu14LhQutN
We haul along the horse in solemn state; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvreT3e1N9m
Then place the dire portent within the tow'r. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA0R0Ki3FpaX
Cassandra cried, and curs'd th' unhappy hour; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAgsYDEkufio
Foretold our fate; but, by the god's decree, 690Please respect copyright.PENANABytNdO4z4J
All heard, and none believ'd the prophecy. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3muap50z07
With branches we the fanes adorn, and waste, 690Please respect copyright.PENANArXEEV4cbEB
In jollity, the day ordain'd to be the last. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAPq5dyOdCQf
Meantime the rapid heav'ns roll'd down the light, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOnLafUf1q2
And on the shaded ocean rush'd the night; 690Please respect copyright.PENANADPLpsKt4lk
Our men, secure, nor guards nor sentries held, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYwUrO40QhX
But easy sleep their weary limbs compell'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhftiGQqkhX
The Grecians had embark'd their naval pow'rs 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuh1TEtazwD
From Tenedos, and sought our well-known shores, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA78GYbVoNKR
Safe under covert of the silent night, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwzOy8oVPgd
And guided by th' imperial galley's light; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3pZLCI2NO1
When Sinon, favor'd by the partial gods, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAU0K1SqfugZ
Unlock'd the horse, and op'd his dark abodes; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAH5QI6EL4H0
Restor'd to vital air our hidden foes, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAR9zFQ5uXlO
Who joyful from their long confinement rose. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9G1mbfBE73
Tysander bold, and Sthenelus their guide, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA0w5gemlQ0w
And dire Ulysses down the cable slide: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfgLPxvevCu
Then Thoas, Athamas, and Pyrrhus haste; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAttD3i478zO
Nor was the Podalirian hero last, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKsxSfbZZZp
Nor injur'd Menelaus, nor the fam'd 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5R3clRofIA
Epeus, who the fatal engine fram'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWOGEmdPEaM
A nameless crowd succeed; their forces join 690Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ZrvpA8YI
T' invade the town, oppress'd with sleep and wine. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAgfISiRKqJf
Those few they find awake first meet their fate; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmlJiIltdb1
Then to their fellows they unbar the gate. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQAzPnbjm3n
"'T was in the dead of night, when sleep repairs 690Please respect copyright.PENANAH3SSmb70Su
Our bodies worn with toils, our minds with cares, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWUkxO59R4s
When Hector's ghost before my sight appears: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFhgW1qCFa2
A bloody shroud he seem'd, and bath'd in tears; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlB4Rj5v0I5
Such as he was, when, by Pelides slain, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAljdYx2Eors
Thessalian coursers dragg'd him o'er the plain. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAejwYYekTcL
Swoln were his feet, as when the thongs were thrust 690Please respect copyright.PENANABfFQd94f7Q
Thro' the bor'd holes; his body black with dust; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6AxTPbTyNa
Unlike that Hector who return'd from toils 690Please respect copyright.PENANAO3qeQGmQLf
Of war, triumphant, in Aeacian spoils, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvwvMaWfEPu
Or him who made the fainting Greeks retire, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA68er0uxNx1
And launch'd against their navy Phrygian fire. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yai1M3FYL
His hair and beard stood stiffen'd with his gore; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiHWSV0nPWF
And all the wounds he for his country bore 690Please respect copyright.PENANA0xaKyEYLpd
Now stream'd afresh, and with new purple ran. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAi6hxXgaBKB
I wept to see the visionary man, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQjXjD54iQV
And, while my trance continued, thus began: 690Please respect copyright.PENANA64UXObIa8C
'O light of Trojans, and support of Troy, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAAobzv5cOsg
Thy father's champion, and thy country's joy! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVaGCtH958s
O, long expected by thy friends! from whence 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6agD1PWbak
Art thou so late return'd for our defense? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAw3JgFneVqX
Do we behold thee, wearied as we are 690Please respect copyright.PENANAK3oR5zAICg
With length of labors, and with toils of war? 690Please respect copyright.PENANA01GgRs7j1G
After so many fun'rals of thy own 690Please respect copyright.PENANAf17DQ0UtI2
Art thou restor'd to thy declining town? 690Please respect copyright.PENANA27uLni5f4M
But say, what wounds are these? What new disgrace 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZSV16cW86
Deforms the manly features of thy face?' 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6NK4w8dUNS
"To this the specter no reply did frame, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiaAo7mTFKp
But answer'd to the cause for which he came, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdIOxzxgjj8
And, groaning from the bottom of his breast, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAw0KMpyLtfF
This warning in these mournful words express'd: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAI77fAiXWcl
'O goddess-born! escape, by timely flight, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAB9IkAh6LfQ
The flames and horrors of this fatal night. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQr0lAczJ30
The foes already have possess'd the wall; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAthUUKAbgpZ
Troy nods from high, and totters to her fall. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA0xMWKDOe2r
Enough is paid to Priam's royal name, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAo3bVv5FfWL
More than enough to duty and to fame. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAraUnrQ0Pz8
If by a mortal hand my father's throne 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqyUPzWOx6i
Could be defended, 't was by mine alone. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXf9zHI8pQW
Now Troy to thee commends her future state, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyNGCY3lapc
And gives her gods companions of thy fate: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnztkyunwTs
From their assistance walls expect, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqnMJopZIir
Which, wand'ring long, at last thou shalt erect.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANApxonN4Moam
He said, and brought me, from their blest abodes, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAH8xBV8EIlK
The venerable statues of the gods, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXID9B6BcSH
With ancient Vesta from the sacred choir, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3qY9tfmOPG
The wreaths and relics of th' immortal fire. 690Please respect copyright.PENANANcbSfiL8PB
"Now peals of shouts come thund'ring from afar, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQe01GIrAIZ
Cries, threats, and loud laments, and mingled war: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMy5MW6Bcpd
The noise approaches, tho' our palace stood 690Please respect copyright.PENANAG2cZkAPf34
Aloof from streets, encompass'd with a wood. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ4wr30KwV
Louder, and yet more loud, I hear th' alarms 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaojQfOn64Z
Of human cries distinct, and clashing arms. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAV0JJ436yVH
Fear broke my slumbers; I no longer stay, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8VdSaa9W8r
But mount the terrace, thence the town survey, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9qR6A24jvm
And hearken what the frightful sounds convey. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZtqHd1X3Gf
Thus, when a flood of fire by wind is borne, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWsVn2eGr46
Crackling it rolls, and mows the standing corn; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vgbgyvdql
Or deluges, descending on the plains, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3ephVyKLYP
Sweep o'er the yellow year, destroy the pains 690Please respect copyright.PENANAx66eedvIb3
Of lab'ring oxen and the peasant's gains; 690Please respect copyright.PENANARhuFukUFuo
Unroot the forest oaks, and bear away 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFY0tTnzoIh
Flocks, folds, and trees, and undistinguish'd prey: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKVLsRJFN8C
The shepherd climbs the cliff, and sees from far 690Please respect copyright.PENANASpIy59D4iR
The wasteful ravage of the wat'ry war. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAz0CIoa7VHu
Then Hector's faith was manifestly clear'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANALiPk2mMt1Z
And Grecian frauds in open light appear'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZXObZfmapl
The palace of Deiphobus ascends 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9cvurmbWY4
In smoky flames, and catches on his friends. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9WWC6TrhTM
Ucalegon burns next: the seas are bright 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKsKjYrPkUD
With splendor not their own, and shine with Trojan light. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1U7cZAIdgw
New clamors and new clangors now arise, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfc8MUzXCJP
The sound of trumpets mix'd with fighting cries. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4DEsORncZ4
With frenzy seiz'd, I run to meet th' alarms, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUms7knXFJo
Resolv'd on death, resolv'd to die in arms, 690Please respect copyright.PENANANznvZzljuI
But first to gather friends, with them t' oppose 690Please respect copyright.PENANAgx316FU1gB
(If fortune favor'd) and repel the foes; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKHjPvArtyH
Spurr'd by my courage, by my country fir'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8G6RkArZSH
With sense of honor and revenge inspir'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANALefaxLgkAB
"Pantheus, Apollo's priest, a sacred name, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYOtMBmrXYX
Had scap'd the Grecian swords, and pass'd the flame: 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1SDEvye9xy
With relics loaden. to my doors he fled, 690Please respect copyright.PENANACep3h4ZVHQ
And by the hand his tender grandson led. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIP39kouCt6
'What hope, O Pantheus? whither can we run? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoO6TmTOCKU
Where make a stand? and what may yet be done?' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHtyzjnpOUc
Scarce had I said, when Pantheus, with a groan: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKofq7y0vGb
'Troy is no more, and Ilium was a town! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAo3jQtqbM6t
The fatal day, th' appointed hour, is come, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yf17NVHZA
When wrathful Jove's irrevocable doom 690Please respect copyright.PENANALZcPtnGi39
Transfers the Trojan state to Grecian hands. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmv0GhQzRbw
The fire consumes the town, the foe commands; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKPJv3omTV0
And armed hosts, an unexpected force, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAr6nx9fJuKs
Break from the bowels of the fatal horse. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWEZfVNJbrs
Within the gates, proud Sinon throws about 690Please respect copyright.PENANAY0yZk5xhcp
The flames; and foes for entrance press without, 690Please respect copyright.PENANADbimuQfwxH
With thousand others, whom I fear to name, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbAbjc8DuMD
More than from Argos or Mycenae came. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFXtvidIwk0
To sev'ral posts their parties they divide; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAeHEmFte9IT
Some block the narrow streets, some scour the wide: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAd4qKYLR16B
The bold they kill, th' unwary they surprise; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhlgs2NZ1HF
Who fights finds death, and death finds him who flies. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2yriqGSg8l
The warders of the gate but scarce maintain 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkjU3GoyGRH
Th' unequal combat, and resist in vain.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhELx52GzsY
"I heard; and Heav'n, that well-born souls inspires, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3jj4Hquvvl
Prompts me thro' lifted swords and rising fires 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHkVIF3yM3x
To run where clashing arms and clamor calls, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQH2irLH2X8
And rush undaunted to defend the walls. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVh0oWkbDMq
Ripheus and Iph'itus by my side engage, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAY2FdY6WpdT
For valor one renown'd, and one for age. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ2n8Yl1NR
Dymas and Hypanis by moonlight knew 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJ190cpV7lU
My motions and my mien, and to my party drew; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnK9LODvch5
With young Coroebus, who by love was led 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoxkvHfMBqU
To win renown and fair Cassandra's bed, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVdygxxYX5f
And lately brought his troops to Priam's aid, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHcE3r1Moxw
Forewarn'd in vain by the prophetic maid. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKCODMLGOPv
Whom when I saw resolv'd in arms to fall, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAeCLka6VkUb
And that one spirit animated all: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAso1lGKhlDg
'Brave souls!' said I,- 'but brave, alas! in vain- 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQYQGGCiU74
Come, finish what our cruel fates ordain. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6AMYk9qcmM
You see the desp'rate state of our affairs, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAX78zbVj6oD
And heav'n's protecting pow'rs are deaf to pray'rs. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9sRUoFpe1W
The passive gods behold the Greeks defile 690Please respect copyright.PENANAh92Y7zqmaQ
Their temples, and abandon to the spoil 690Please respect copyright.PENANANe1YPA6hVd
Their own abodes: we, feeble few, conspire 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsiYnlma3yw
To save a sinking town, involv'd in fire. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4PA9OVccki
Then let us fall, but fall amidst our foes: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAERiEri9dGi
Despair of life the means of living shows.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0pNEKXY7A
So bold a speech incourag'd their desire 690Please respect copyright.PENANAs4YrxUozVh
Of death, and added fuel to their fire. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8MLX90NEhV
"As hungry wolves, with raging appetite, 690Please respect copyright.PENANABrInkxHCAl
Scour thro' the fields, nor fear the stormy night- 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5aS1kHmvY3
Their whelps at home expect the promis'd food, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7AbPjULHQc
And long to temper their dry chaps in blood- 690Please respect copyright.PENANADFsp1S6nEt
So rush'd we forth at once; resolv'd to die, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOuK196mMG0
Resolv'd, in death, the last extremes to try. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAtT7Jou4Ft2
We leave the narrow lanes behind, and dare 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqDS02XorT0
Th' unequal combat in the public square: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIb5pElv8NK
Night was our friend; our leader was despair. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOjtc8Wlkg5
What tongue can tell the slaughter of that night? 690Please respect copyright.PENANA59MkdbAzRS
What eyes can weep the sorrows and affright? 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5F6QUGTwaK
An ancient and imperial city falls: 690Please respect copyright.PENANALP83tnx4GA
The streets are fill'd with frequent funerals; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhNzqgAu7m9
Houses and holy temples float in blood, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAAEOq1DRIAe
And hostile nations make a common flood. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxNYoI23GAV
Not only Trojans fall; but, in their turn, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhY22SMWZaL
The vanquish'd triumph, and the victors mourn. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAtfFLVmO5B3
Ours take new courage from despair and night: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZSbvsee02u
Confus'd the fortune is, confus'd the fight. 690Please respect copyright.PENANApLasrfalfj
All parts resound with tumults, plaints, and fears; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vnd8x0ABe
And grisly Death in sundry shapes appears. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxXUs7lsLyr
Androgeos fell among us, with his band, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlQkd3Uu0iR
Who thought us Grecians newly come to land. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIuAwbvB0cw
'From whence,' said he, 'my friends, this long delay? 690Please respect copyright.PENANANI5cplSBfJ
You loiter, while the spoils are borne away: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAT6eTQLFatx
Our ships are laden with the Trojan store; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAAPjLP5QXVd
And you, like truants, come too late ashore.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOhT4Z7wM4O
He said, but soon corrected his mistake, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlobf3jW4Si
Found, by the doubtful answers which we make: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQGmpJSdwb3
Amaz'd, he would have shunn'd th' unequal fight; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQNGuRe5U0a
But we, more num'rous, intercept his flight. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4FBSteMrrW
As when some peasant, in a bushy brake, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAm1m0rlpA3x
Has with unwary footing press'd a snake; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAN6SBgK1zZl
He starts aside, astonish'd, when he spies 690Please respect copyright.PENANA98ZlKgnZBc
His rising crest, blue neck, and rolling eyes; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHTtIAKgAnB
So from our arms surpris'd Androgeos flies. 690Please respect copyright.PENANACRfj2Cd3Ma
In vain; for him and his we compass'd round, 690Please respect copyright.PENANATum3gAP0Mn
Possess'd with fear, unknowing of the ground, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyh17OTGS0Y
And of their lives an easy conquest found. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdv2MheOzzV
Thus Fortune on our first endeavor smil'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAY1nUMQPYn7
Coroebus then, with youthful hopes beguil'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAa7yunsNts8
Swoln with success, and a daring mind, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3aTuq6m721
This new invention fatally design'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlkR3EkAwYY
'My friends,' said he, 'since Fortune shows the way, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJYhSizYaf5
'T is fit we should th' auspicious guide obey. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAPnK7eJEQFp
For what has she these Grecian arms bestow'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIClfQ3SNbo
But their destruction, and the Trojans' good? 690Please respect copyright.PENANA38chNS5Iit
Then change we shields, and their devices bear: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMcv3gBHZcC
Let fraud supply the want of force in war. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyCFZgFiwjG
They find us arms.' This said, himself he dress'd 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiV3VwuMX9m
In dead Androgeos' spoils, his upper vest, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdUqu6grfJI
His painted buckler, and his plumy crest. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaCNvmBPvq2
Thus Ripheus, Dymas, all the Trojan train, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA38lGKrmKFl
Lay down their own attire, and strip the slain. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiGtg9cksWf
Mix'd with the Greeks, we go with ill presage, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMHRn0cASTL
Flatter'd with hopes to glut our greedy rage; 690Please respect copyright.PENANARufnNbEioZ
Unknown, assaulting whom we blindly meet, 690Please respect copyright.PENANACk66YSBCZR
And strew with Grecian carcasses the street. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvE1OQ4vzq1
Thus while their straggling parties we defeat, 690Please respect copyright.PENANABz85j1LPlr
Some to the shore and safer ships retreat; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVyTuzQXy28
And some, oppress'd with more ignoble fear, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1ETSFUvf4P
Remount the hollow horse, and pant in secret there. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEr0oASAXy1
"But, ah! what use of valor can be made, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAh2KWrZ2vWF
When heav'n's propitious pow'rs refuse their aid! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcLOXeY8Dq8

Whom not Minerva's shrine, nor sacred bands, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuVjMhmrpD6
In safety could protect from sacrilegious hands: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAelXtECseEF
On heav'n she cast her eyes, she sigh'd, she cried- 690Please respect copyright.PENANAo3bJuyszqx
'T was all she could- her tender arms were tied. 690Please respect copyright.PENANANRAwJka5oC
So sad a sight Coroebus could not bear; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJxMtKZke1y
But, fir'd with rage, distracted with despair, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2up2TbA7lO
Amid the barb'rous ravishers he flew: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvdViBV2Aut
Our leader's rash example we pursue. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAPCOLqTgSOc
But storms of stones, from the proud temple's height, 690Please respect copyright.PENANArocgIPN074
Pour down, and on our batter'd helms alight: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVfBWkuciP5
We from our friends receiv'd this fatal blow, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfheYSg0X8U
Who thought us Grecians, as we seem'd in show. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAXXnldcW1gm
They aim at the mistaken crests, from high; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAATyN5dHd2d
And ours beneath the pond'rous ruin lie. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4LLw9jBcdH
Then, mov'd with anger and disdain, to see 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQATUmLeqqY
Their troops dispers'd, the royal virgin free, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEl3z8FZyII
The Grecians rally, and their pow'rs unite, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAD4jBd0JqUF
With fury charge us, and renew the fight. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAjZDlA1HKK1
The brother kings with Ajax join their force, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuRY2dHDTGj
And the whole squadron of Thessalian horse. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA73pSNFhTGn
"Thus, when the rival winds their quarrel try, 690Please respect copyright.PENANACxTa2Px0e6
Contending for the kingdom of the sky, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsO7KhvqNJc
South, east, and west, on airy coursers borne; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAc3GWjYCudN
The whirlwind gathers, and the woods are torn: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAooDPOrQGai
Then Nereus strikes the deep; the billows rise, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxrv4REqhC9
And, mix'd with ooze and sand, pollute the skies. 690Please respect copyright.PENANACSIImvc1qN
The troops we squander'd first again appear 690Please respect copyright.PENANApKPSW7sABK
From several quarters, and enclose the rear. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHBEzkxfqXa
They first observe, and to the rest betray, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2PfxwVpd5H
Our diff'rent speech; our borrow'd arms survey. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAjZDBEjx1Lw
Oppress'd with odds, we fall; Coroebus first, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9YO7ZfHvJj
At Pallas' altar, by Peneleus pierc'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxY4PgEE1Ky
Then Ripheus follow'd, in th' unequal fight; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxPcCHdcunm
Just of his word, observant of the right: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAinXEH0wPr8
Heav'n thought not so. Dymas their fate attends, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAm2sn8OP7zr
With Hypanis, mistaken by their friends. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFMCUbgNc3w
Nor, Pantheus, thee, thy miter, nor the bands 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoZYXxPY7yy
Of awful Phoebus, sav'd from impious hands. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAafgqE2t6gQ
Ye Trojan flames, your testimony bear, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAz29WD1Xd1Z
What I perform'd, and what I suffer'd there; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUoop8nUkOZ
No sword avoiding in the fatal strife, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsbWBMhUPLX
Expos'd to death, and prodigal of life; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZemA9JoohU
Witness, ye heavens! I live not by my fault: 690Please respect copyright.PENANALVQ6TfVMEQ
I strove to have deserv'd the death I sought. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7VWFjZi84a
But, when I could not fight, and would have died, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfkdiMjRjER
Borne off to distance by the growing tide, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwU3F5UPwFs
Old Iphitus and I were hurried thence, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbGDBopJP9j
With Pelias wounded, and without defense. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZPQha1f8In
New clamors from th' invested palace ring: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoSD9LZfXe4
We run to die, or disengage the king. 690Please respect copyright.PENANApr7pXVH9b4
So hot th' assault, so high the tumult rose, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFGfS1nVJtJ
While ours defend, and while the Greeks oppose 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4m7dS42dUD
As all the Dardan and Argolic race 690Please respect copyright.PENANAi5XxA9sSsQ
Had been contracted in that narrow space; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxFpkRmwwWm
Or as all Ilium else were void of fear, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiqbi0q0ZSS
And tumult, war, and slaughter, only there. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaP6VSIcECk
Their targets in a tortoise cast, the foes, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhuPH8MJ7Vc
Secure advancing, to the turrets rose: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAzfNUQkqVyy
Some mount the scaling ladders; some, more bold, 690Please respect copyright.PENANATC22udngDP
Swerve upwards, and by posts and pillars hold; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGXui9IL91N
Their left hand gripes their bucklers in th' ascent, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAF97BrX7tWT
While with their right they seize the battlement. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdwSBLaeQBl
From their demolish'd tow'rs the Trojans throw 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZsfCnZLDhI
Huge heaps of stones, that, falling, crush the foe; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQM90U6NpUq
And heavy beams and rafters from the sides 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2LzwSWEWEM
(Such arms their last necessity provides) 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGKHpH01s0L
And gilded roofs, come tumbling from on high, 690Please respect copyright.PENANALKFpomCKJf
The marks of state and ancient royalty. 690Please respect copyright.PENANADiiSMmHdGd
The guards below, fix'd in the pass, attend 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcMFF33tnKa
The charge undaunted, and the gate defend. 690Please respect copyright.PENANANO3vm6hQit
Renew'd in courage with recover'd breath, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyRP5AdnjhP
A second time we ran to tempt our death, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiV3st56igT
To clear the palace from the foe, succeed 690Please respect copyright.PENANAw67pYY77o2
The weary living, and revenge the dead. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAptTBeWpw8k
"A postern door, yet unobserv'd and free, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoUs8HLhyce
Join'd by the length of a blind gallery, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyzhLkY6E7G
To the king's closet led: a way well known 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYIoa1B43tr
To Hector's wife, while Priam held the throne, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvW4QGpFxOV
Thro' which she brought Astyanax, unseen, 690Please respect copyright.PENANADOzTJc6962
To cheer his grandsire and his grandsire's queen. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiMCGGMBmxo
Thro' this we pass, and mount the tow'r, from whence 690Please respect copyright.PENANANNmSjjWad6
With unavailing arms the Trojans make defense. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ8RYqQWdH
From this the trembling king had oft descried 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMxw60xHcSt
The Grecian camp, and saw their navy ride. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYMwoxJsf95
Beams from its lofty height with swords we hew, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhaM46iL4AN
Then, wrenching with our hands, th' assault renew; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnDoKqkFOCH
And, where the rafters on the columns meet, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYPUKF94oTc
We push them headlong with our arms and feet. 690Please respect copyright.PENANArlv5t4Jy61
The lightning flies not swifter than the fall, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7IAuSHfscc
Nor thunder louder than the ruin'd wall: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAr4ADmw5S90
Down goes the top at once; the Greeks beneath 690Please respect copyright.PENANARbn3UqV3Dd
Are piecemeal torn, or pounded into death. 690Please respect copyright.PENANADcyjOY5mtF
Yet more succeed, and more to death are sent; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwWdT0gnInp
We cease not from above, nor they below relent. 690Please respect copyright.PENANANikco8dHEq
Before the gate stood Pyrrhus, threat'ning loud, 690Please respect copyright.PENANArbDzU5gFsr
With glitt'ring arms conspicuous in the crowd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnDL0mokqrv
So shines, renew'd in youth, the crested snake, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA27hN7qfH2m
Who slept the winter in a thorny brake, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4NUVwnDLG
And, casting off his slough when spring returns, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3KTQr0dmTS
Now looks aloft, and with new glory burns; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9QRLOfwK5a
Restor'd with poisonous herbs, his ardent sides 690Please respect copyright.PENANACc6GctOTuc
Reflect the sun; and rais'd on spires he rides; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdRhh36CPlb
High o'er the grass, hissing he rolls along, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoKreIFhGDu
And brandishes by fits his forky tongue. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOt7llYQ5NU
Proud Periphas, and fierce Automedon, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuOwOizzaYc
His father's charioteer, together run 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcjq6Ek2wUr
To force the gate; the Scyrian infantry 690Please respect copyright.PENANAY7iHeMh7Ho
Rush on in crowds, and the barr'd passage free. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdfj7M6RDuW
Ent'ring the court, with shouts the skies they rend; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4HNYuDeG0r
And flaming firebrands to the roofs ascend. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKxWrUpDhbj
Himself, among the foremost, deals his blows, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdFyNjSUbl5
And with his ax repeated strokes bestows 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUwuqnOMp0i
On the strong doors; then all their shoulders ply, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA97c6bljZOF
Till from the posts the brazen hinges fly. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAK9pPWPT6FQ
He hews apace; the double bars at length 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKF4Rcn7eGc
Yield to his ax and unresisted strength. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAizEpV4dOHb
A mighty breach is made: the rooms conceal'd 690Please respect copyright.PENANAX9jqrc3vbW
Appear, and all the palace is reveal'd; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhTUzu2d9qT
The halls of audience, and of public state, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlfXjLY0ecs
And where the lonely queen in secret sate. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA29NwAzZWpU
Arm'd soldiers now by trembling maids are seen, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2ynvbs32nO
With not a door, and scarce a space, between. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1JNUnMam7x
The house is fill'd with loud laments and cries, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQJkK4Po2D3
And shrieks of women rend the vaulted skies; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4ESM5cCtum
The fearful matrons run from place to place, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6f4zVM2OWT
And kiss the thresholds, and the posts embrace. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7BJ1daOBgP
The fatal work inhuman Pyrrhus plies, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAeN3FGxOdHE
And all his father sparkles in his eyes; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlA3NLfpBpd
Nor bars, nor fighting guards, his force sustain: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnRE9OGSC8U
The bars are broken, and the guards are slain. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxPHdcgJQXZ
In rush the Greeks, and all the apartments fill; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5aOGIkq0Gf
Those few defendants whom they find, they kill. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhJpMsfkOvE
Not with so fierce a rage the foaming flood 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfGQt84ShWs
Roars, when he finds his rapid course withstood; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwYRElYKIBj
Bears down the dams with unresisted sway, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA571Zo0hFDM
And sweeps the cattle and the cots away. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcSpaMVEx0o
These eyes beheld him when he march'd between 690Please respect copyright.PENANAws1GLyqGTx
The brother kings: I saw th' unhappy queen, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEVirPSn5cR
The hundred wives, and where old Priam stood, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFGbprJNCNM
To stain his hallow'd altar with his brood. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaksiBPK6Yf
The fifty nuptial beds (such hopes had he, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7C4qxcVA0m
So large a promise, of a progeny), 690Please respect copyright.PENANAE4S9p79D94
The posts, of plated gold, and hung with spoils, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA7z64eSz5Vy
Fell the reward of the proud victor's toils. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWn2ErUxoV7
Where'er the raging fire had left a space, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAjWKWclztta
The Grecians enter and possess the place. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqK1iBjsQoz
"Perhaps you may of Priam's fate enquire. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQhCGkiHpGL
He, when he saw his regal town on fire, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAN5zJHXqcsK
His ruin'd palace, and his ent'ring foes, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA53cZEi28xI
On ev'ry side inevitable woes, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAac5G7taES7
In arms, disus'd, invests his limbs, decay'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3B4CcQlool
Like them, with age; a late and useless aid. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoDqdHiV2Nr
His feeble shoulders scarce the weight sustain; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZjavf5VYvT
Loaded, not arm'd, he creeps along with pain, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWvM1MEUvCq
Despairing of success, ambitious to be slain! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKBvvBAU0Wb
Uncover'd but by heav'n, there stood in view 690Please respect copyright.PENANALijgJpapNv
An altar; near the hearth a laurel grew, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAX96ypRqB3B
Dodder'd with age, whose boughs encompass round 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfbIL9teEeX
The household gods, and shade the holy ground. 690Please respect copyright.PENANASLo3pCVtyf
Here Hecuba, with all her helpless train 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1bIHAQ2Blw
Of dames, for shelter sought, but sought in vain. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAc8FS8zOg0O
Driv'n like a flock of doves along the sky, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVzYkJNtitT
Their images they hug, and to their altars fly. 690Please respect copyright.PENANASr3zUXLg0y
The Queen, when she beheld her trembling lord, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqHAztWalTq
And hanging by his side a heavy sword, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUwGBJeW11R
'What rage,' she cried, 'has seiz'd my husband's mind? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAeoZj1GwjQ9
What arms are these, and to what use design'd? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAakVwQr2zhk
These times want other aids! Were Hector here, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlJymroj7nz
Ev'n Hector now in vain, like Priam, would appear. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnN3BSqabvI
With us, one common shelter thou shalt find, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA70G2sjeIfW
Or in one common fate with us be join'd.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnnwJuzqeox
She said, and with a last salute embrac'd 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkV9tizl67m
The poor old man, and by the laurel plac'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYBTWxZgVk7
Behold! Polites, one of Priam's sons, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4eTv5qMPZi
Pursued by Pyrrhus, there for safety runs. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAjkkundlDKE
Thro' swords and foes, amaz'd and hurt, he flies 690Please respect copyright.PENANALalHlIzEh0
Thro' empty courts and open galleries. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOokikr7mQ0
Him Pyrrhus, urging with his lance, pursues, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4T9j65CAsf
And often reaches, and his thrusts renews. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnimQAFKpCv
The youth, transfix'd, with lamentable cries, 690Please respect copyright.PENANANjEGM7lrmG
Expires before his wretched parent's eyes: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHNaODoBHaV
Whom gasping at his feet when Priam saw, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbUHaTC2PXA
The fear of death gave place to nature's law; 690Please respect copyright.PENANArpTnkhqGDD
And, shaking more with anger than with age, 690Please respect copyright.PENANARzQyKUG7f1
'The gods,' said he, 'requite thy brutal rage! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOGEbNWvAlt
As sure they will, barbarian, sure they must, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsoSS1FCDtq
If there be gods in heav'n, and gods be just- 690Please respect copyright.PENANA0ByYKQfsM8
Who tak'st in wrongs an insolent delight; 690Please respect copyright.PENANARk85oac0C7
With a son's death t' infect a father's sight. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdwUL9HpSo6
Not he, whom thou and lying fame conspire 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbBaJNH1w9W
To call thee his- not he, thy vaunted sire, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuo6dHRILr0
Thus us'd my wretched age: the gods he fear'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAs3ZofPNwSc
The laws of nature and of nations heard. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfqlnVrh55L
He cheer'd my sorrows, and, for sums of gold, 690Please respect copyright.PENANADanBeONk6d
The bloodless carcass of my Hector sold; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqP3h17ToLz
Pitied the woes a parent underwent, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOjUteqIIFz
And sent me back in safety from his tent.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAals0hnVkDi
"This said, his feeble hand a javelin threw, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMa9MgLYNBd
Which, flutt'ring, seem'd to loiter as it flew: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcqI5kFOi5x
Just, and but barely, to the mark it held, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA727uXAppaZ
And faintly tinkled on the brazen shield. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxZWv83tT3m
"Then Pyrrhus thus: 'Go thou from me to fate, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAy7K8oMPYhd
And to my father my foul deeds relate. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmOI5L2pqT0
Now die!' With that he dragg'd the trembling sire, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaLaE8SQs6h
Slidd'ring thro' clotter'd blood and holy mire, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwpWv9yevqf
(The mingled paste his murder'd son had made,) 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOH3ne8St7q
Haul'd from beneath the violated shade, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y5ZjwtDdL
And on the sacred pile the royal victim laid. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAzaWD3BcGsy
His right hand held his bloody falchion bare, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Ml75bFFk
His left he twisted in his hoary hair; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAykq3Jf49ce
Then, with a speeding thrust, his heart he found: 690Please respect copyright.PENANA96OcOFNGM0
The lukewarm blood came rushing thro' the wound, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEdvbGg7NHx
And sanguine streams distain'd the sacred ground. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOFZgI7HTOk
Thus Priam fell, and shar'd one common fate 690Please respect copyright.PENANArjGo8idN6m
With Troy in ashes, and his ruin'd state: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFZmLSmIWAq
He, who the scepter of all Asia sway'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhLJdcVTVFD
Whom monarchs like domestic slaves obey'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyK9rWIBkJn
On the bleak shore now lies th' abandon'd king, 690Please respect copyright.PENANATfP1P5CrlH
A headless carcass, and a nameless thing. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAc4vGbHACCF
"Then, not before, I felt my cruddled blood 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4X49TJ4QaH
Congeal with fear, my hair with horror stood: 690Please respect copyright.PENANA84GHeDgGX8
My father's image fill'd my pious mind, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAi2vnMteSV8
Lest equal years might equal fortune find. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcmbGBthLIi
Again I thought on my forsaken wife, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUM0X5lHVui
And trembled for my son's abandon'd life. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZXKXHZnrHd
I look'd about, but found myself alone, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlFJpSmyy0t
Deserted at my need! My friends were gone. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAX0ZgPh48YL
Some spent with toil, some with despair oppress'd, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAepuvFyJtp5
Leap'd headlong from the heights; the flames consum'd the rest. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAu6ia0bNgjF
Thus, wand'ring in my way, without a guide, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqrnkqNCZAN
The graceless Helen in the porch I spied 690Please respect copyright.PENANAO8LVyx4TuH
Of Vesta's temple; there she lurk'd alone; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiPQ05Ks3Ow
Muffled she sate, and, what she could, unknown: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAaZxmGSjmQH
But, by the flames that cast their blaze around, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUBqHi2EYZD
That common bane of Greece and Troy I found. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWHYqGmXlPt
For Ilium burnt, she dreads the Trojan sword; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnyztLCd1ai
More dreads the vengeance of her injur'd lord; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZSPJeQfqnN
Ev'n by those gods who refug'd her abhorr'd. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5G35f4HLfO
Trembling with rage, the strumpet I regard, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAD21ZRx105i
Resolv'd to give her guilt the due reward: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAk2AB64nFjT
'Shall she triumphant sail before the wind, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWFwtackUgf
And leave in flames unhappy Troy behind? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkyQqBcnVrR
Shall she her kingdom and her friends review, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoMVviFaRCc
In state attended with a captive crew, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqSwRyo4k9v
While unreveng'd the good old Priam falls, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkFru64WP83
And Grecian fires consume the Trojan walls? 690Please respect copyright.PENANArD7FpRSf3Q
For this the Phrygian fields and Xanthian flood 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVbQegq51QM
Were swell'd with bodies, and were drunk with blood? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIUaKvTX70a
'T is true, a soldier can small honor gain, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcpwDOuXQTY
And boast no conquest, from a woman slain: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAb9iBOG55f2
Yet shall the fact not pass without applause, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGgdmI1BPCP
Of vengeance taken in so just a cause; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyY38NMzkwe
The punish'd crime shall set my soul at ease, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKuVn02OWRk
And murm'ring manes of my friends appease.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANACanaI8eKOS
Thus while I rave, a gleam of pleasing light 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKDsK4uCYK6
Spread o'er the place; and, shining heav'nly bright, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKoC0aR1t6i
My mother stood reveal'd before my sight 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVCZO2eLnAJ
Never so radiant did her eyes appear; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8BPX2sQvnS
Not her own star confess'd a light so clear: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAkAWJHGRFL0
Great in her charms, as when on gods above 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHAb6Gpa7O5
She looks, and breathes herself into their love. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWTbu1IPOrh
She held my hand, the destin'd blow to break; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuCnLmE5J0u
Then from her rosy lips began to speak: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvVNv7BNOoq
'My son, from whence this madness, this neglect 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlNNUaKl83u
Of my commands, and those whom I protect? 690Please respect copyright.PENANAE85FIAqW12
Why this unmanly rage? Recall to mind 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWX57Xf1lVs
Whom you forsake, what pledges leave behind. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAU2j8MU3sUK
Look if your helpless father yet survive, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAS602sUzHjS

Around your house the greedy Grecians err; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEjHwun6zOQ
And these had perish'd in the nightly war, 690Please respect copyright.PENANADZSGIhnT5H
But for my presence and protecting care. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAouThFAjusj
Not Helen's face, nor Paris, was in fault; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAW1syd9cqtl
But by the gods was this destruction brought. 690Please respect copyright.PENANACaAbGUkK9d
Now cast your eyes around, while I dissolve 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxrdx0VPYPi
The mists and films that mortal eyes involve, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxFQO5cNoaA
Purge from your sight the dross, and make you see 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5MsUPe5w2l
The shape of each avenging deity. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYFPqTScrQz
Enlighten'd thus, my just commands fulfil, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAY1LUt8GjxB
Nor fear obedience to your mother's will. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfpfFEYYTSW
Where yon disorder'd heap of ruin lies, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuRnmMTfPM0
Stones rent from stones; where clouds of dust arise- 690Please respect copyright.PENANAApnn9DsC12
Amid that smother Neptune holds his place, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5YW0B76FVS
Below the wall's foundation drives his mace, 690Please respect copyright.PENANABVq8cC64xY
And heaves the building from the solid base. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfuRpDvWaRU
Look where, in arms, imperial Juno stands 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhx8H5g91iY
Full in the Scaean gate, with loud commands, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUVJ1a3nw0b
Urging on shore the tardy Grecian bands. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAtLLAi5scOW
See! Pallas, of her snaky buckler proud, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmtcNH4BgVl
Bestrides the tow'r, refulgent thro' the cloud: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxKmCCoclVm
See! Jove new courage to the foe supplies, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdjZYfEt7AT
And arms against the town the partial deities. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAzdviPcibcg
Haste hence, my son; this fruitless labor end: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKEjbQB38ys
Haste, where your trembling spouse and sire attend: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVGVWPGSxpm
Haste; and a mother's care your passage shall befriend.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANA5eE0R2h0xB
She said, and swiftly vanish'd from my sight, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAeCxPEzjcva
Obscure in clouds and gloomy shades of night. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFJZ24LzjxG
I look'd, I listen'd; dreadful sounds I hear; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFqKMEtnJAS
And the dire forms of hostile gods appear. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9k7dM9q5MO
Troy sunk in flames I saw (nor could prevent), 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOVG7A1AR55
And Ilium from its old foundations rent; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAlnQr7BgbJX
Rent like a mountain ash, which dar'd the winds, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAAEzhejDD1C
And stood the sturdy strokes of lab'ring hinds. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAepNYEW9Wct
About the roots the cruel ax resounds; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAeyQaDLssSH
The stumps are pierc'd with oft-repeated wounds: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAZwPMR1IP39
The war is felt on high; the nodding crown 690Please respect copyright.PENANAO44pMMbZOJ
Now threats a fall, and throws the leafy honors down. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAvYCYQ50574
To their united force it yields, tho' late, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnqORPW74Wg
And mourns with mortal groans th' approaching fate: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmEftNXHSQn
The roots no more their upper load sustain; 690Please respect copyright.PENANA91xMNPuPsu
But down she falls, and spreads a ruin thro' the plain. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAjVlopxinyv

And cross the threshold in my passage lay, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAflk6ZriW0L
Embrac'd my knees, and, when I would have gone, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAV1aWrL8uN3
Shew'd me my feeble sire and tender son: 690Please respect copyright.PENANA3iVKd84q4H

While thus she fills the house with clam'rous cries, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAae5hQTplG8
Our hearing is diverted by our eyes: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAl1My9OTtYu
For, while I held my son, in the short space 690Please respect copyright.PENANAYbWmtRN1wN
Betwixt our kisses and our last embrace; 690Please respect copyright.PENANANh7WTUNxUv
Strange to relate, from young Iulus' head 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHhtr8ttq1u
A lambent flame arose, which gently spread 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdFD2VNlvzE
Around his brows, and on his temples fed. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAX2LgD8A7Lo
Amaz'd, with running water we prepare 690Please respect copyright.PENANAPqLXj4P1fd
To quench the sacred fire, and slake his hair; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAU5OKkAfd9H

A peal of rattling thunder roll in air: 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9iMzYMHomB
There shot a streaming lamp along the sky, 690Please respect copyright.PENANANWT7S5DkEg
Which on the winged lightning seem'd to fly; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAPO0Ibhjsjz
From o'er the roof the blaze began to move, 690Please respect copyright.PENANABJ2xGF0r8r
And, trailing, vanish'd in th' Idaean grove. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfXN3IIT6Lp
It swept a path in heav'n, and shone a guide, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAldssPb1tk1
Then in a steaming stench of sulphur died. 690Please respect copyright.PENANArnQORdV8Vn

Of dire debate, and blood in battle spilt.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxQYZG5pMkq
Thus, ord'ring all that prudence could provide, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAglmdFyq9hl
I clothe my shoulders with a lion's hide 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnhkpbEC1Gf
And yellow spoils; then, on my bending back, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEJTchnfwoq
The welcome load of my dear father take; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAcFsg5ZanJm

I, who so bold and dauntless, just before, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwlMRyrSGac
The Grecian darts and shock of lances bore, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAsk3rADmwjI

Till, near the ruin'd gate arriv'd at last, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIeCWDDnWQH
Secure, and deeming all the danger past, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAPEnHeTXcO5
A frightful noise of trampling feet we hear. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAHpJf2ZSQ3B
My father, looking thro' the shades, with fear, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAY8LLd0Sg5t
Cried out: 'Haste, haste, my son, the foes are nigh; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKooYOFkqvf
Their swords and shining armor I descry.' 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIuNdxzrc4u
Some hostile god, for some unknown offense, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAwTLQPitQBK

For, while thro' winding ways I took my flight, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEwpcGbbc72
And sought the shelter of the gloomy night, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAMCL5GhDQsL
Alas! I lost Creusa: hard to tell 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbPwTvFBH7L
If by her fatal destiny she fell, 690Please respect copyright.PENANATsKbOIihAk
Or weary sate, or wander'd with affright; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAnGA5ECDgM3
But she was lost for ever to my sight. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVTxKh7ynOI
I knew not, or reflected, till I meet 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhnd7Ky3Jxh
My friends, at Ceres' now deserted seat. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA6iZFUf7dQm
We met: not one was wanting; only she 690Please respect copyright.PENANAi3XR0uVZg7

"What mad expressions did my tongue refuse! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfu2PjOddNs
Whom did I not, of gods or men, accuse! 690Please respect copyright.PENANAoGQLLeuvdC
This was the fatal blow, that pain'd me more 690Please respect copyright.PENANAK2mA92Yj5g
Than all I felt from ruin'd Troy before. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAUu4LuwmPjK
Stung with my loss, and raving with despair, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA23G3fXEinx
Abandoning my now forgotten care, 690Please respect copyright.PENANALRRn9WGIcj
Of counsel, comfort, and of hope bereft, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAtVxj98fco0
My sire, my son, my country gods I left. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAgFKdw7bVXo
In shining armor once again I sheathe 690Please respect copyright.PENANAxN6hqgU9v9
My limbs, not feeling wounds, nor fearing death. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAryCyzEdDEh
Then headlong to the burning walls I run, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAEVsiqfcdky
And seek the danger I was forc'd to shun. 690Please respect copyright.PENANASEjcjSysan
I tread my former tracks; thro' night explore 690Please respect copyright.PENANA97Sw0RYDJy
Each passage, ev'ry street I cross'd before. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAWlu4yYvoTQ
All things were full of horror and affright, 690Please respect copyright.PENANASnifSxuBo9
And dreadful ev'n the silence of the night. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2cq0tpsekJ
Then to my father's house I make repair, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAOyO4KBlUjy
With some small glimpse of hope to find her there. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA2qU4WlUqsi
Instead of her, the cruel Greeks I met; 690Please respect copyright.PENANANNW047zgv0
The house was fill'd with foes, with flames beset. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGW3OQOUI0v
Driv'n on the wings of winds, whole sheets of fire, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAfkB0DnhlID
Thro' air transported, to the roofs aspire. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA77N4Z9I8KE
From thence to Priam's palace I resort, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbNg9BwQFLY
And search the citadel and desart court. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAiEVXYFv4wA
Then, unobserv'd, I pass by Juno's church: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAD7988TDc6H
A guard of Grecians had possess'd the porch; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJir4RtbaQM
There Phoenix and Ulysses watch prey, 690Please respect copyright.PENANASHvnk9Kpkc
And thither all the wealth of Troy convey: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAa6856HbTZE
The spoils which they from ransack'd houses brought, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAqCqGzLfexR
And golden bowls from burning altars caught, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAuS44XUw54f
The tables of the gods, the purple vests, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAmLmlT4MRLb
The people's treasure, and the pomp of priests. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAAABIUndMjM
A rank of wretched youths, with pinion'd hands, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xi3HD4H5O
And captive matrons, in long order stands. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFYqmJhgbhU
Then, with ungovern'd madness, I proclaim, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAglYeFIHpZG
Thro' all the silent street, Creusa's name: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAVSuXax5xuG
Creusa still I call; at length she hears, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAAmurWCMMND
And sudden thro' the shades of night appears- 690Please respect copyright.PENANAJwCaa6YBup
Appears, no more Creusa, nor my wife, 690Please respect copyright.PENANAIxIQY3KIep
But a pale specter, larger than the life. 690Please respect copyright.PENANANTWX7UHOD7
Aghast, astonish'd, and struck dumb with fear, 690Please respect copyright.PENANABHrZjc8Ph3
I stood; like bristles rose my stiffen'd hair. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA9U26ftdUBr
Then thus the ghost began to soothe my grief 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1RMYKF4y4J
'Nor tears, nor cries, can give the dead relief. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyuUMoSgti3

My goddess mother, or my royal race. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Xn4fzpLx

Restrains my fleeting soul in her abodes: 690Please respect copyright.PENANAo3BWAeTerr

She said, and gliding pass'd unseen in air. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAdkhnu5naaT
I strove to speak: but horror tied my tongue; 690Please respect copyright.PENANAExvVPUBuFG
And thrice about her neck my arms I flung, 690Please respect copyright.PENANARIvnMXJDTC
And, thrice deceiv'd, on vain embraces hung. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAGqrTyXx2S6
Light as an empty dream at break of day, 690Please respect copyright.PENANA4YBMTfgCOx
