All were attentive to the godlike man, 928Please respect copyright.PENANApPXFpeS4Zk
When from his lofty couch he thus began: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJzsanwuEfH
"Great queen, what you command me to relate 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9kryDjEYIP
Renews the sad remembrance of our fate: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zm7ua9rTs
An empire from its old foundations rent, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAF3kZXuzWdu
And ev'ry woe the Trojans underwent; 928Please respect copyright.PENANApHztkQbZV8
A peopled city made a desart place; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUf6pmLoWuL
All that I saw, and part of which I was: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJeYwdCMUrA
Not ev'n the hardest of our foes could hear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7N1jodsWd4
Nor stern Ulysses tell without a tear. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhUeBJOhk1K
And now the latter watch of wasting night, 928Please respect copyright.PENANANNnm1p9zVs
And setting stars, to kindly rest invite; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbZorhaqgqw
But, since you take such int'rest in our woe, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4ijN6sOfs1
And Troy's disastrous end desire to know, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqzqGJR8ije
I will restrain my tears, and briefly tell 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmdD13hshVg
What in our last and fatal night befell. 928Please respect copyright.PENANATmFfCmSh1r
"By destiny compell'd, and in despair, 928Please respect copyright.PENANADotlYOi9ak
The Greeks grew weary of the tedious war, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUlo3C1ECVR
And by Minerva's aid a fabric rear'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOwDJPanCrC
Which like a steed of monstrous height appear'd: 928Please respect copyright.PENANASSQUe0UHwD
The sides were plank'd with pine; they feign'd it made 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnVeMGJOACM
For their return, and this the vow they paid. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkJL8EnUV0z
Thus they pretend, but in the hollow side 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqM2qsdAB0y
Selected numbers of their soldiers hide: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhmLRrqsT53
With inward arms the dire machine they load, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdGBuCxlkya
And iron bowels stuff the dark abode. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZUoRvIR5Li
In sight of Troy lies Tenedos, an isle 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbFoFkCk5JK
(While Fortune did on Priam's empire smile) 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjJhkpFQKbo
Renown'd for wealth; but, since, a faithless bay, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAs1BMIO77It
Where ships expos'd to wind and weather lay. 928Please respect copyright.PENANABQTWqdV6be
There was their fleet conceal'd. We thought, for Greece 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjmcaUdDNHM
Their sails were hoisted, and our fears release. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAy6AshM3KOs
The Trojans, coop'd within their walls so long, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAD9DfgW6JTb
Unbar their gates, and issue in a throng, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAANEwXbnbc4
Like swarming bees, and with delight survey 928Please respect copyright.PENANALjJu0YQqW7
The camp deserted, where the Grecians lay: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAa9C5oP4829
The quarters of the sev'ral chiefs they show'd; 928Please respect copyright.PENANANAjxNaNULO
Here Phoenix, here Achilles, made abode; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2J2gLONAfi
Here join'd the battles; there the navy rode. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYe2izonciN
Part on the pile their wond'ring eyes employ: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxgXeHLOhf4
The pile by Pallas rais'd to ruin Troy. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ1JVDj6hd
Thymoetes first ('t is doubtful whether hir'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6hf9KM7uM
Or so the Trojan destiny requir'd) 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmp0QHqrgyQ
Mov'd that the ramparts might be broken down, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgYzw5tsqb2
To lodge the monster fabric in the town. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdg02VpdKCs
But Capys, and the rest of sounder mind, 928Please respect copyright.PENANArrebOdcqc9
The fatal present to the flames designed, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAs1o8Lzlk5K
Or to the wat'ry deep; at least to bore 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGXi1Yks9on
The hollow sides, and hidden frauds explore. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcxgWjj3ISF
The giddy vulgar, as their fancies guide, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIhL8UMG4ox
With noise say nothing, and in parts divide. 928Please respect copyright.PENANANrHrFMyHYh
Laocoon, follow'd by a num'rous crowd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANApJEfCTpZAc
Ran from the fort, and cried, from far, aloud: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAN0HAVmwPZy
'O wretched countrymen! what fury reigns? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOp0L3km8sg
What more than madness has possess'd your brains? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOAtolG1fVn
Think you the Grecians from your coasts are gone? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIMHo5cZB1R
And are Ulysses' arts no better known? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAULWAej7WQa
This hollow fabric either must inclose, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5t8nYtlacp
Within its blind recess, our secret foes; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAw0xHIy21z8
Or 't is an engine rais'd above the town, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHsAubhnEiq
T' o'erlook the walls, and then to batter down. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxvrYoWBwbj
Somewhat is sure design'd, by fraud or force: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6LwAzM62eU
Trust not their presents, nor admit the horse.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAShykQsKYQb
Thus having said, against the steed he threw 928Please respect copyright.PENANAteSc3duAUf
His forceful spear, which, hissing as flew, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOUu8WMPzNl
Pierc'd thro' the yielding planks of jointed wood, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQQK7bzBrFD
And trembling in the hollow belly stood. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWuSRhQkKZw
The sides, transpierc'd, return a rattling sound, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAL4NWswvXT1
And groans of Greeks inclos'd come issuing thro' the wound 928Please respect copyright.PENANACd9JG6bdrH
And, had not Heav'n the fall of Troy design'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7GMZd6sXZ
Or had not men been fated to be blind, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcIf19yXBj8
Enough was said and done t'inspire a better mind. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzWkiQhGHS0
Then had our lances pierc'd the treach'rous wood, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAllmNTgIsyY
And Ilian tow'rs and Priam's empire stood. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA58EaXsR074
Meantime, with shouts, the Trojan shepherds bring 928Please respect copyright.PENANAx34KF9CdFK
A captive Greek, in bands, before the king; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMUHwDOzjLt
Taken to take; who made himself their prey, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfNuGgVwdRQ
T' impose on their belief, and Troy betray; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0g2vcvPZBW
Fix'd on his aim, and obstinately bent 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQYoaWRCi24
To die undaunted, or to circumvent. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlYNdhEWGlt
About the captive, tides of Trojans flow; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8XQGDnbmLJ
All press to see, and some insult the foe. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKiVScgLEdH
Now hear how well the Greeks their wiles disguis'd; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAj9nBlKLlsI
Behold a nation in a man compris'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGz1jJX8CeG
Trembling the miscreant stood, unarm'd and bound; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAatytCKuvEu
He star'd, and roll'd his haggard eyes around, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnZEWAUqnxt
Then said: 'Alas! what earth remains, what sea 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmEH28oFtxl
Is open to receive unhappy me? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAA9ivorTL4o
What fate a wretched fugitive attends, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUz0dYXrAPY
Scorn'd by my foes, abandon'd by my friends?' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdPDieRPkRf
He said, and sigh'd, and cast a rueful eye: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5WDXOHsaq
Our pity kindles, and our passions die. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfCDuptq6mc
We cheer youth to make his own defense, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuHSf6lJDUF
And freely tell us what he was, and whence: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5BVSRkKLhQ
What news he could impart, we long to know, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKMd76r6lUL
And what to credit from a captive foe. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAn1vAgfKUFc
"His fear at length dismiss'd, he said: 'Whate'er 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnn51qqwiCJ
My fate ordains, my words shall be sincere: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGMV9dVykOn
I neither can nor dare my birth disclaim; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJMJTerjmi9
Greece is my country, Sinon is my name. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAaieV53Q01O
Tho' plung'd by Fortune's pow'r in misery, 928Please respect copyright.PENANASZfAJLAO4H
'T is not in Fortune's pow'r to make me lie. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmNS2efWha4
If any chance has hither brought the name 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWtd9uz1UPt
Of Palamedes, not unknown to fame, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA75bapBlV6W
Who suffer'd from the malice of the times, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAd3OoMnv7iB
Accus'd and sentenc'd for pretended crimes, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAFHJPb9SLuF
Because these fatal wars he would prevent; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAs7t3mIpOeS
Whose death the wretched Greeks too late lament- 928Please respect copyright.PENANALocNRdEDsz
Me, then a boy, my father, poor and bare 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjWsp7hk3Y0
Of other means, committed to his care, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAK0gjU6HYyN
His kinsman and companion in the war. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOdDRoo11no
While Fortune favor'd, while his arms support 928Please respect copyright.PENANAj11BxvgHkh
The cause, and rul'd the counsels, of the court, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0l1z77Pyts
I made some figure there; nor was my name 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYegWHjKWHI
Obscure, nor I without my share of fame. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5p8ZADnq2W
But when Ulysses, with fallacious arts, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5J4CD5r7E0
Had made impression in the people's hearts, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEdlcOwlY4r
And forg'd a treason in my patron's name 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYdTvBojiHB
(I speak of things too far divulg'd by fame), 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlNrs2Q7GWd
My kinsman fell. Then I, without support, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAirMADMz6aM
In private mourn'd his loss, and left the court. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYbqvGwGgkz
Mad as I was, I could not bear his fate 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQhJt5viwtd
With silent grief, but loudly blam'd the state, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnGZvifjTci
And curs'd the direful author of my woes. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIcRv6fnu4q
'T was told again; and hence my ruin rose. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAa9FhRQNKvk
I threaten'd, if indulgent Heav'n once more 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjgZ1a2vyDL
Would land me safely on my native shore, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7RDv1LJMGt
His death with double vengeance to restore. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6n8fnHH3Ef
This mov'd the murderer's hate; and soon ensued 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtx3g7lrGMr
Th' effects of malice from a man so proud. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8XvKOEPpyG
Ambiguous rumors thro' the camp he spread, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2QkezSTzh1
And sought, by treason, my devoted head; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAr4uNw1SfLM
New crimes invented; left unturn'd no stone, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJyd7Al0zby
To make my guilt appear, and hide his own; 928Please respect copyright.PENANACMnhLNfWgU
Till Calchas was by force and threat'ning wrought- 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtLWtPVW6nL
But why- why dwell I on that anxious thought? 928Please respect copyright.PENANACv7opZ4GFz
If on my nation just revenge you seek, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3cQZYKmyPv
And 't is t' appear a foe, t' appear a Greek; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAn1tIRBU5lo
Already you my name and country know; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAov2O8SAZVt
Assuage your thirst of blood, and strike the blow: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhHD36UzB56
My death will both the kingly brothers please, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVA9iOSYwPC
And set insatiate Ithacus at ease.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfosmHmkkOc
This fair unfinish'd tale, these broken starts, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6r8dqdNRDn
Rais'd expectations in our longing hearts: 928Please respect copyright.PENANACCdosxrRPo
Unknowing as we were in Grecian arts. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvGNlyHCzH3
His former trembling once again renew'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAAnlT8VByhN
With acted fear, the villain thus pursued: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAg4Afp8Z83i
"'Long had the Grecians (tir'd with fruitless care, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKWHM6OBLKC
And wearied with an unsuccessful war) 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6PRmcCOfX0
Resolv'd to raise the siege, and leave the town; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGSRT3e2m8I
And, had the gods permitted, they had gone; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVQxEgpWJuW
But oft the wintry seas and southern winds 928Please respect copyright.PENANANgGN3tHA8R
Withstood their passage home, and chang'd their minds. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPhcfwOuLdi
Portents and prodigies their souls amaz'd; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzzxqBDD8d6
But most, when this stupendous pile was rais'd: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAas64AwtLK6
Then flaming meteors, hung in air, were seen, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZjKMUGbcQo
And thunders rattled thro' a sky serene. 928Please respect copyright.PENANANiQjUeI2zR
Dismay'd, and fearful of some dire event, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMS5wNLXQgZ
Eurypylus t' enquire their fate was sent. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmjQrIN6iYV
He from the gods this dreadful answer brought: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA59miXHs2pZ
"O Grecians, when the Trojan shores you sought, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVLsj3fu30b
Your passage with a virgin's blood was bought: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7bfXQMS7AB
So must your safe return be bought again, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVSVQw8L4LT
And Grecian blood once more atone the main." 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyO5YwEk3Gm
The spreading rumor round the people ran; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8AYNR3oqYh
All fear'd, and each believ'd himself the man. 928Please respect copyright.PENANANjUWKuB0Un
Ulysses took th' advantage of their fright; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnw2Q9AhBbV
Call'd Calchas, and produc'd in open sight: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuCpLaVMvlg
Then bade him name the wretch, ordain'd by fate 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuvx22Z3Rpp
The public victim, to redeem the state. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwFrq73VfyO
Already some presag'd the dire event, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAP5jLdKLo7Y
And saw what sacrifice Ulysses meant. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjiXQctaMRf
For twice five days the good old seer withstood 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGrfd5Qbmjs
Th' intended treason, and was dumb to blood, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAERTZ8P1UiZ
Till, tir'd, with endless clamors and pursuit 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOSxg74QCwh
Of Ithacus, he stood no longer mute; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAd570h9MWro
But, as it was agreed, pronounc'd that I 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4SCMIOBwGJ
Was destin'd by the wrathful gods to die. 928Please respect copyright.PENANASXsr34DObp
All prais'd the sentence, pleas'd the storm should fall 928Please respect copyright.PENANArvI50k0Eqz
On one alone, whose fury threaten'd all. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHwT5dphZFi
The dismal day was come; the priests prepare 928Please respect copyright.PENANAM0dfQFBjqO
Their leaven'd cakes, and fillets for my hair. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcK36PpqGFs
I follow'd nature's laws, and must avow 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6W5xPVVrqc
I broke my bonds and fled the fatal blow. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAt57XNqjdyW
Hid in a weedy lake all night I lay, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyGBtPv0uIW
Secure of safety when they sail'd away. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAS7LwevwFhJ
But now what further hopes for me remain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAAwe4iqzUyA
To see my friends, or native soil, again; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtZvbJXW9f2
My tender infants, or my careful sire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6kaXfKV9Mg
Whom they returning will to death require; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxPb3M9yTiS
Will perpetrate on them their first design, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcUM8LH7yll
And take the forfeit of their heads for mine? 928Please respect copyright.PENANARFw0ViQ9dn
Which, O! if pity mortal minds can move, 928Please respect copyright.PENANADMUNCIYdZI
If there be faith below, or gods above, 928Please respect copyright.PENANALZFOGVY0uN
If innocence and truth can claim desert, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzABQa2TxU7
Ye Trojans, from an injur'd wretch avert.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHDxjkRCRXp
"False tears true pity move; the king commands 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJgmFPIkT2Y
To loose his fetters, and unbind his hands: 928Please respect copyright.PENANABhn6eZQUCT
Then adds these friendly words: 'Dismiss thy fears; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWXsvCvPWHQ
Forget the Greeks; be mine as thou wert theirs. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQMcFLDqFuy
But truly tell, was it for force or guile, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHhwdGHCn1l
Or some religious end, you rais'd the pile?' 928Please respect copyright.PENANApLTJGdMLff
Thus said the king. He, full of fraudful arts, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAB3M0Rdrkvw
This well-invented tale for truth imparts: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJzsz3XmrZr
'Ye lamps of heav'n!' he said, and lifted high 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuOTMcevzlk
His hands now free, 'thou venerable sky! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAsJVRjhpaHx
Inviolable pow'rs, ador'd with dread! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAt6HXeiAmkI
Ye fatal fillets, that once bound this head! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAFdUfcsahwX
Ye sacred altars, from whose flames I fled! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoGlehiSloq
Be all of you adjur'd; and grant I may, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjY7uzjp2Db
Without a crime, th' ungrateful Greeks betray, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8OSimIKn2Q
Reveal the secrets of the guilty state, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlX8bH3Kc4c
And justly punish whom I justly hate! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkkcm6KUcaV
But you, O king, preserve the faith you gave, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAM6wgkcQW1V
If I, to save myself, your empire save. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEb5oXBWK3Q
The Grecian hopes, and all th' attempts they made, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3MwrVI5QLq
Were only founded on Minerva's aid. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9HTSZL3mho
But from the time when impious Diomede, 928Please respect copyright.PENANASykYqfG5Wx
And false Ulysses, that inventive head, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQuhXNrurYq
Her fatal image from the temple drew, 928Please respect copyright.PENANArn1bet4gRB
The sleeping guardians of the castle slew, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHQcXS5Uz1v
Her virgin statue with their bloody hands 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvNVECf4IRm
Polluted, and profan'd her holy bands; 928Please respect copyright.PENANASgWgIrIWSQ
From thence the tide of fortune left their shore, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjD2Iq9AXAk
And ebb'd much faster than it flow'd before: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Vssr6aGQ
Their courage languish'd, as their hopes decay'd; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWdfr3qMgCR
And Pallas, now averse, refus'd her aid. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAW5NH5KchDs
Nor did the goddess doubtfully declare 928Please respect copyright.PENANAX0mbjzPod1
Her alter'd mind and alienated care. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbYsGZZJURH
When first her fatal image touch'd the ground, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnIkBxk9Lhk
She sternly cast her glaring eyes around, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1bKS9YrgCV
That sparkled as they roll'd, and seem'd to threat: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA371ey2BJkO
Her heav'nly limbs distill'd a briny sweat. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5IELpNZl5r
Thrice from the ground she leap'd, was seen to wield 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhIDDByzZUT
Her brandish'd lance, and shake her horrid shield. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fm4Mie9Kz
Then Calchas bade our host for flight 928Please respect copyright.PENANAU4jC9ko68O
And hope no conquest from the tedious war, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7XykgErpwh
Till first they sail'd for Greece; with pray'rs besought 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0oh0JVT2kG
Her injur'd pow'r, and better omens brought. 928Please respect copyright.PENANACZ9849FAZq
And now their navy plows the wat'ry main, 928Please respect copyright.PENANACVeQ61tft5
Yet soon expect it on your shores again, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWOaxTNpFAz
With Pallas pleas'd; as Calchas did ordain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtihPLWItUC
But first, to reconcile the blue-ey'd maid 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8cNpPTWHJf
For her stol'n statue and her tow'r betray'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZizGAwOAi
Warn'd by the seer, to her offended name 928Please respect copyright.PENANA22CYpezHSn
We rais'd and dedicate this wondrous frame, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAst6ZyyADfT
So lofty, lest thro' your forbidden gates 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5KMayjPYfd
It pass, and intercept our better fates: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6ouphQCuu8
For, once admitted there, our hopes are lost; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1LvGgK5Nqe
And Troy may then a new Palladium boast; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAS6tZsheOeM
For so religion and the gods ordain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAj5NQJyCVqW
That, if you violate with hands profane 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGYVF4Ir5Ks
Minerva's gift, your town in flames shall burn, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAagcZT7kGeL
(Which omen, O ye gods, on Graecia turn!) 928Please respect copyright.PENANASgiPINHgFM
But if it climb, with your assisting hands, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAt4yV0KMZwv
The Trojan walls, and in the city stands; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2XXu1yRqMy
Then Troy shall Argos and Mycenae burn, 928Please respect copyright.PENANACNLC4sV0Yy
And the reverse of fate on us return.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVbf3lJ5cVj
"With such deceits he gain'd their easy hearts, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnIpjplawBD
Too prone to credit his perfidious arts. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGWeu0sevRV
What Diomede, nor Thetis' greater son, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVZNKSj9ObX
A thousand ships, nor ten years' siege, had done- 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqNtbsB0eze
False tears and fawning words the city won. 928Please respect copyright.PENANADSj7Q8PrF7
"A greater omen, and of worse portent, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGVfPEb8cik
Did our unwary minds with fear torment, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdUIqQX2BEL
Concurring to produce the dire event. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIoJA7Ef52m
Laocoon, Neptune's priest by lot that year, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUMaGCGWtiD
With solemn pomp then sacrific'd a steer; 928Please respect copyright.PENANALzLGWC1pYw
When, dreadful to behold, from sea we spied 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0F6AOeY3ZV
Two serpents, rank'd abreast, the seas divide, 928Please respect copyright.PENANARxwPpGlW7h
And smoothly sweep along the swelling tide. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwAFDIogBMe
Their flaming crests above the waves they show; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwomrgERotX
Their bellies seem to burn the seas below; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVK12ui79KI
Their speckled tails advance to steer their course, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAs8GSM0u7DZ
And on the sounding shore the flying billows force. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAn220q0pyI8
And now the strand, and now the plain they held; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnhX9KxNfcV
Their ardent eyes with bloody streaks were fill'd; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvEOcdtaipK
Their nimble tongues they brandish'd as they came, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0m6iDaNrn1
And lick'd their hissing jaws, that sputter'd flame. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyWQmGkNHiX
We fled amaz'd; their destin'd way they take, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7K3fK0Ub1l
And to Laocoon and his children make; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIbI3hCi9f1
And first around the tender boys they wind, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAk5dqFXBf5A
Then with their sharpen'd fangs their limbs and bodies grind. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXhz7IFXoW7
The wretched father, running to their aid 928Please respect copyright.PENANAeo6eQo9MmT
With pious haste, but vain, they next invade; 928Please respect copyright.PENANARuPEsHONDU
Twice round his waist their winding volumes roll'd; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJggsJLWTPs
And twice about his gasping throat they fold. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1M6RKMOrDj
The priest thus doubly chok'd, their crests divide, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjXpg4H5Fc2
And tow'ring o'er his head in triumph ride. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZQIITuAIYD
With both his hands he labors at the knots; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtmNJDux6Lu
His holy fillets the blue venom blots; 928Please respect copyright.PENANARirPD7riCU
His roaring fills the flitting air around. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEIeRFazIx9
Thus, when an ox receives a glancing wound, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjzRjYfqd1C
He breaks his bands, the fatal altar flies, 928Please respect copyright.PENANARSFqlJCL6X
And with loud bellowings breaks the yielding skies. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA10AxH4RpBh
Their tasks perform'd, the serpents quit their prey, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAU8sxDJYsbz
And to the tow'r of Pallas make their way: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnM9rvpTYSf
Couch'd at her feet, they lie protected there 928Please respect copyright.PENANABXG4aVmJmN
By her large buckler and protended spear. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhK6VKdS86u
Amazement seizes all; the gen'ral cry 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdLT9WuvibV
Proclaims Laocoon justly doom'd to die, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuEbFag1sxF
Whose hand the will of Pallas had withstood, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9v0pZbLNdq
And dared to violate the sacred wood. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdk6xKXeEnF
All vote t' admit the steed, that vows be paid 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoy03Umcg8w
And incense offer'd to th' offended maid. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9jXzRfcnd7
A spacious breach is made; the town lies bare; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzACRjiDVfm
Some hoisting-levers, some the wheels prepare 928Please respect copyright.PENANAsfm56dHLqm
And fasten to the horse's feet; the rest 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuPaNblOZU1
With cables haul along th' unwieldly beast. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9iWhW78CGT
Each on his fellow for assistance calls; 928Please respect copyright.PENANADuHLAnUAcQ
At length the fatal fabric mounts the walls, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJWT8aqDgAt
Big with destruction. Boys with chaplets crown'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjjNwMXDAmI
And choirs of virgins, sing and dance around. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdQugvzmg7I
Thus rais'd aloft, and then descending down, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9J7SYoCh5G
It enters o'er our heads, and threats the town. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2Fb7ycZBbi
O sacred city, built by hands divine! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmdYpqiPewz
O valiant heroes of the Trojan line! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAadi9iRzpJf
Four times he struck: as oft the clashing sound 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxgjEy66bwy
Of arms was heard, and inward groans rebound. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAr4OHROnZra
Yet, mad with zeal, and blinded with our fate, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAE8DIF7SOKr
We haul along the horse in solemn state; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZGEVYlXUdU
Then place the dire portent within the tow'r. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoJUua0ybBU
Cassandra cried, and curs'd th' unhappy hour; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqOaHzD5JNa
Foretold our fate; but, by the god's decree, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbKgex0z0lM
All heard, and none believ'd the prophecy. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnaPwx2wEWm
With branches we the fanes adorn, and waste, 928Please respect copyright.PENANACxaytduRg9
In jollity, the day ordain'd to be the last. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIiZAgO6ImN
Meantime the rapid heav'ns roll'd down the light, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjJmUD69aVQ
And on the shaded ocean rush'd the night; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAeWnrDS27Vz
Our men, secure, nor guards nor sentries held, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOJVAAJux3x
But easy sleep their weary limbs compell'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjpFDLM0DD3
The Grecians had embark'd their naval pow'rs 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjAxY6FTn00
From Tenedos, and sought our well-known shores, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMgiGfM1hyP
Safe under covert of the silent night, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAugBKj7XD3r
And guided by th' imperial galley's light; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAS0jfTHf2yz
When Sinon, favor'd by the partial gods, 928Please respect copyright.PENANABLrsG25B40
Unlock'd the horse, and op'd his dark abodes; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYWMc3jPcEo
Restor'd to vital air our hidden foes, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcSZtj0TtHt
Who joyful from their long confinement rose. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWr57DAlIP8
Tysander bold, and Sthenelus their guide, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfDIXY7iJTm
And dire Ulysses down the cable slide: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXgUx8RxagV
Then Thoas, Athamas, and Pyrrhus haste; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0dn3FZnJAP
Nor was the Podalirian hero last, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAu72KtTsBUP
Nor injur'd Menelaus, nor the fam'd 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6nvSakX9R3
Epeus, who the fatal engine fram'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2QBnMyypd6
A nameless crowd succeed; their forces join 928Please respect copyright.PENANADYLJP0ep4W
T' invade the town, oppress'd with sleep and wine. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAAr7dn43dZP
Those few they find awake first meet their fate; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdcBqLaFx8X
Then to their fellows they unbar the gate. 928Please respect copyright.PENANApbgKvY6GlH
"'T was in the dead of night, when sleep repairs 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJrvyM93tLR
Our bodies worn with toils, our minds with cares, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAa7Tv0doWal
When Hector's ghost before my sight appears: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIJlNNZ7idv
A bloody shroud he seem'd, and bath'd in tears; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHZQVnXGnMZ
Such as he was, when, by Pelides slain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAI2vOoLNSUZ
Thessalian coursers dragg'd him o'er the plain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZXgkVQOGV
Swoln were his feet, as when the thongs were thrust 928Please respect copyright.PENANAFzLiXRgoPc
Thro' the bor'd holes; his body black with dust; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxigHQIZTdh
Unlike that Hector who return'd from toils 928Please respect copyright.PENANAofoBM18UhI
Of war, triumphant, in Aeacian spoils, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdlaUpyJ3Ux
Or him who made the fainting Greeks retire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcZhFgZOWHM
And launch'd against their navy Phrygian fire. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAviddnL2Wr2
His hair and beard stood stiffen'd with his gore; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1UB8axzphZ
And all the wounds he for his country bore 928Please respect copyright.PENANAq10a88YdNl
Now stream'd afresh, and with new purple ran. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9txYjjeEwA
I wept to see the visionary man, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYfdp8SVVxa
And, while my trance continued, thus began: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5TRRr7Uz4N
'O light of Trojans, and support of Troy, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhea5Yu8Akk
Thy father's champion, and thy country's joy! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbCsJoBcddR
O, long expected by thy friends! from whence 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2RW0hwMiMa
Art thou so late return'd for our defense? 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5N1N8fxWpc
Do we behold thee, wearied as we are 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhxMsklVx2R
With length of labors, and with toils of war? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIdnoXg9eI4
After so many fun'rals of thy own 928Please respect copyright.PENANAeMbOzZFJTz
Art thou restor'd to thy declining town? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAU4RjP4QrBe
But say, what wounds are these? What new disgrace 928Please respect copyright.PENANAeO67dwAN9Y
Deforms the manly features of thy face?' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAsSqs7NrcYn
"To this the specter no reply did frame, 928Please respect copyright.PENANANQvKnI5wOG
But answer'd to the cause for which he came, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAFlSl4hQ4i1
And, groaning from the bottom of his breast, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5LV9mUti8L
This warning in these mournful words express'd: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAasqbKJInEG
'O goddess-born! escape, by timely flight, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1ar1MS5s6o
The flames and horrors of this fatal night. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAB8pf6xB7MY
The foes already have possess'd the wall; 928Please respect copyright.PENANARYa9H1swcf
Troy nods from high, and totters to her fall. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAI15pSQhf5i
Enough is paid to Priam's royal name, 928Please respect copyright.PENANApMNG8Gmz0F
More than enough to duty and to fame. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA98JINfkMoE
If by a mortal hand my father's throne 928Please respect copyright.PENANAw1bePL8qQS
Could be defended, 't was by mine alone. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWkTBXbks8B
Now Troy to thee commends her future state, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAav6mjKvFvx
And gives her gods companions of thy fate: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7tte2eW4hw
From their assistance walls expect, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6lxOSj5ltK
Which, wand'ring long, at last thou shalt erect.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANArnoGzJesCJ
He said, and brought me, from their blest abodes, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8UDD8zdkWs
The venerable statues of the gods, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5eXmPaTKug
With ancient Vesta from the sacred choir, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAiATQq3Hh27
The wreaths and relics of th' immortal fire. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8qKWXHCoJo
"Now peals of shouts come thund'ring from afar, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYUaJ9Ak99u
Cries, threats, and loud laments, and mingled war: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1FxbPTbuMS
The noise approaches, tho' our palace stood 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4WQ8fPzofH
Aloof from streets, encompass'd with a wood. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvdAdoaRzgq
Louder, and yet more loud, I hear th' alarms 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzw9gEScY7m
Of human cries distinct, and clashing arms. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmHkD1twtFe
Fear broke my slumbers; I no longer stay, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWzE8etAjVW
But mount the terrace, thence the town survey, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJsIMVLT90T
And hearken what the frightful sounds convey. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2ndqyb9W2d
Thus, when a flood of fire by wind is borne, 928Please respect copyright.PENANADhh60aUoek
Crackling it rolls, and mows the standing corn; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhcFfLFRptE
Or deluges, descending on the plains, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuwn7JlYxMg
Sweep o'er the yellow year, destroy the pains 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJiUea7qEaQ
Of lab'ring oxen and the peasant's gains; 928Please respect copyright.PENANATHWeftRaK1
Unroot the forest oaks, and bear away 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvdoQ9HKYXb
Flocks, folds, and trees, and undistinguish'd prey: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjJJ8KJWLjt
The shepherd climbs the cliff, and sees from far 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcaJqmKvsWm
The wasteful ravage of the wat'ry war. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzGTNhxMAUL
Then Hector's faith was manifestly clear'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0TU4DHVJsC
And Grecian frauds in open light appear'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANArnIPhHBVJX
The palace of Deiphobus ascends 928Please respect copyright.PENANAf9HmFd347h
In smoky flames, and catches on his friends. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqCkuRC10G5
Ucalegon burns next: the seas are bright 928Please respect copyright.PENANAftXRnRmSBM
With splendor not their own, and shine with Trojan light. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfYRo5IMhrk
New clamors and new clangors now arise, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6D7OkAkJhK
The sound of trumpets mix'd with fighting cries. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEql0idFY1V
With frenzy seiz'd, I run to meet th' alarms, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgco9ZuTLp1
Resolv'd on death, resolv'd to die in arms, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAATlDz4e1pC
But first to gather friends, with them t' oppose 928Please respect copyright.PENANAiT2QrI3O71
(If fortune favor'd) and repel the foes; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAf6fr53EO63
Spurr'd by my courage, by my country fir'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4kJzmNO6Z3
With sense of honor and revenge inspir'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvp5ZaA9gJt
"Pantheus, Apollo's priest, a sacred name, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbllEKdu73z
Had scap'd the Grecian swords, and pass'd the flame: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtTWJKOCTaB
With relics loaden. to my doors he fled, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAk2T7QEX6sN
And by the hand his tender grandson led. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjFthHI1gDc
'What hope, O Pantheus? whither can we run? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAs8NL01o2qU
Where make a stand? and what may yet be done?' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqTdXZwrUBk
Scarce had I said, when Pantheus, with a groan: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfbKGXUxTgv
'Troy is no more, and Ilium was a town! 928Please respect copyright.PENANACE0bfFmPpI
The fatal day, th' appointed hour, is come, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoRpAK1qYhV
When wrathful Jove's irrevocable doom 928Please respect copyright.PENANARs6nPoeYFC
Transfers the Trojan state to Grecian hands. 928Please respect copyright.PENANATrimVKO0GO
The fire consumes the town, the foe commands; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOQeW10RFOT
And armed hosts, an unexpected force, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8UmRHphDiy
Break from the bowels of the fatal horse. 928Please respect copyright.PENANArpbqFSgeVu
Within the gates, proud Sinon throws about 928Please respect copyright.PENANAeS6CY9uaSS
The flames; and foes for entrance press without, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlmjtiEjOUw
With thousand others, whom I fear to name, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoEf80WHaE6
More than from Argos or Mycenae came. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyBClaUm4cL
To sev'ral posts their parties they divide; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUPLZccUHNX
Some block the narrow streets, some scour the wide: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxgQaEMYqc1
The bold they kill, th' unwary they surprise; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqEdm3Z83d0
Who fights finds death, and death finds him who flies. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAK65FRKJPVx
The warders of the gate but scarce maintain 928Please respect copyright.PENANAM4YMCGW3kJ
Th' unequal combat, and resist in vain.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhCdWlA1xU8
"I heard; and Heav'n, that well-born souls inspires, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAV8gDtn5Hxp
Prompts me thro' lifted swords and rising fires 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUB0epOHJ6x
To run where clashing arms and clamor calls, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyoHanLNnAT
And rush undaunted to defend the walls. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWeJlKM0af1
Ripheus and Iph'itus by my side engage, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvjqmGYGgja
For valor one renown'd, and one for age. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPjEdTGo256
Dymas and Hypanis by moonlight knew 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdiTffkU8Do
My motions and my mien, and to my party drew; 928Please respect copyright.PENANApPVvDeyskx
With young Coroebus, who by love was led 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOUPpHxSPiB
To win renown and fair Cassandra's bed, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAII05kOT4iB
And lately brought his troops to Priam's aid, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvU91O1CR0a
Forewarn'd in vain by the prophetic maid. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjfamKDXHVm
Whom when I saw resolv'd in arms to fall, 928Please respect copyright.PENANADqBPXFU9JB
And that one spirit animated all: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4l0mXChIa4
'Brave souls!' said I,- 'but brave, alas! in vain- 928Please respect copyright.PENANAt9nXS4N86Y
Come, finish what our cruel fates ordain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUxKmqMxVFq
You see the desp'rate state of our affairs, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxaQmbYuohZ
And heav'n's protecting pow'rs are deaf to pray'rs. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMJzKMMiSBl
The passive gods behold the Greeks defile 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9U5N6NgN5T
Their temples, and abandon to the spoil 928Please respect copyright.PENANASoJ1NUZzRu
Their own abodes: we, feeble few, conspire 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwKIr9QKVBK
To save a sinking town, involv'd in fire. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3W9gVuslbu
Then let us fall, but fall amidst our foes: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmzezrqzDRP
Despair of life the means of living shows.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGMYvokNGQD
So bold a speech incourag'd their desire 928Please respect copyright.PENANA26FjIqpmSz
Of death, and added fuel to their fire. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoC5vfjUsYK
"As hungry wolves, with raging appetite, 928Please respect copyright.PENANANUMeITgPTN
Scour thro' the fields, nor fear the stormy night- 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtUjMRGDXZ7
Their whelps at home expect the promis'd food, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8NZLwGtCwI
And long to temper their dry chaps in blood- 928Please respect copyright.PENANASVvHOOvLlp
So rush'd we forth at once; resolv'd to die, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUSw0Ae6oA1
Resolv'd, in death, the last extremes to try. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYuS22c0qYw
We leave the narrow lanes behind, and dare 928Please respect copyright.PENANABHNluMLyXQ
Th' unequal combat in the public square: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAftD0QHOsqv
Night was our friend; our leader was despair. 928Please respect copyright.PENANATuycR9RECA
What tongue can tell the slaughter of that night? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZVJVIHn9Ky
What eyes can weep the sorrows and affright? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZ55G59A79S
An ancient and imperial city falls: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAa1jIyJhx95
The streets are fill'd with frequent funerals; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAaXaYrK3oCg
Houses and holy temples float in blood, 928Please respect copyright.PENANASlvS7uEVO3
And hostile nations make a common flood. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxiZbM5bLcq
Not only Trojans fall; but, in their turn, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAORupGWeIzP
The vanquish'd triumph, and the victors mourn. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGh2lgo8dpE
Ours take new courage from despair and night: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2WTWqHkZpl
Confus'd the fortune is, confus'd the fight. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7O6S65g8Ub
All parts resound with tumults, plaints, and fears; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWMg6npBvA5
And grisly Death in sundry shapes appears. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwj8KgaGObV
Androgeos fell among us, with his band, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAq7y45TEDzO
Who thought us Grecians newly come to land. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5tESEDx9jB
'From whence,' said he, 'my friends, this long delay? 928Please respect copyright.PENANARYD0K1GP8F
You loiter, while the spoils are borne away: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAleOE5c6XhK
Our ships are laden with the Trojan store; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbOS2g4qa2Y
And you, like truants, come too late ashore.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXNMIOunpeH
He said, but soon corrected his mistake, 928Please respect copyright.PENANABHUeIYTwx6
Found, by the doubtful answers which we make: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgl4uSI7I7a
Amaz'd, he would have shunn'd th' unequal fight; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUaaYKwo07x
But we, more num'rous, intercept his flight. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGsmVHEif0h
As when some peasant, in a bushy brake, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAT72U4yoQ7h
Has with unwary footing press'd a snake; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmJnd6AKYZR
He starts aside, astonish'd, when he spies 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHieZLCZQoU
His rising crest, blue neck, and rolling eyes; 928Please respect copyright.PENANATpw8G5Z5yP
So from our arms surpris'd Androgeos flies. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxEy8MZQ4AW
In vain; for him and his we compass'd round, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWmd6h8FXhd
Possess'd with fear, unknowing of the ground, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAAPbhad7cjQ
And of their lives an easy conquest found. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvCxJ82YBvi
Thus Fortune on our first endeavor smil'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjlhnHHo3oK
Coroebus then, with youthful hopes beguil'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwHa7BoiXa9
Swoln with success, and a daring mind, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtaBQZcQgCQ
This new invention fatally design'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWESOYquIFb
'My friends,' said he, 'since Fortune shows the way, 928Please respect copyright.PENANApOWKhwowCS
'T is fit we should th' auspicious guide obey. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAAn6HQjnkpk
For what has she these Grecian arms bestow'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7f7RjCcPQR
But their destruction, and the Trojans' good? 928Please respect copyright.PENANANrDLrUvlLA
Then change we shields, and their devices bear: 928Please respect copyright.PENANATcQJFQceSS
Let fraud supply the want of force in war. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwPhM01YH7n
They find us arms.' This said, himself he dress'd 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUO41oE6eIX
In dead Androgeos' spoils, his upper vest, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAB5FtmiWsc9
His painted buckler, and his plumy crest. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuJaBJfZY8x
Thus Ripheus, Dymas, all the Trojan train, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUUkfbC4b1Q
Lay down their own attire, and strip the slain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVR8eTFasF1
Mix'd with the Greeks, we go with ill presage, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1FiHJaHZuy
Flatter'd with hopes to glut our greedy rage; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAohGvVxRzeB
Unknown, assaulting whom we blindly meet, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6jvORa2XM1
And strew with Grecian carcasses the street. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAG2WCJtv49U
Thus while their straggling parties we defeat, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAw7zdGvmeJL
Some to the shore and safer ships retreat; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0UCfvdphb0
And some, oppress'd with more ignoble fear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAF9NzURjqt4
Remount the hollow horse, and pant in secret there. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKMVbCtIiZn
"But, ah! what use of valor can be made, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMFALqi7wEX
When heav'n's propitious pow'rs refuse their aid! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjXdzzCFGb7
Behold the royal prophetess, the fair 928Please respect copyright.PENANAK5eRTeGxdC

Whom not Minerva's shrine, nor sacred bands, 928Please respect copyright.PENANADkd0rISuGb
In safety could protect from sacrilegious hands: 928Please respect copyright.PENANALW0bOpnRKT
On heav'n she cast her eyes, she sigh'd, she cried- 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkonIM6T0N3
'T was all she could- her tender arms were tied. 928Please respect copyright.PENANArb4FTdJ9GS
So sad a sight Coroebus could not bear; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAN5VWsN9MV9
But, fir'd with rage, distracted with despair, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAiAimwklyIt
Amid the barb'rous ravishers he flew: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAaz9wCUD1p4
Our leader's rash example we pursue. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKUzVurj5Hs
But storms of stones, from the proud temple's height, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPQFr5oqKTZ
Pour down, and on our batter'd helms alight: 928Please respect copyright.PENANALX7CxYSnSF
We from our friends receiv'd this fatal blow, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEq4pSUj6dM
Who thought us Grecians, as we seem'd in show. 928Please respect copyright.PENANALyyJZA4G4V
They aim at the mistaken crests, from high; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcE6rSYhdk0
And ours beneath the pond'rous ruin lie. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAANQDM4b2gF
Then, mov'd with anger and disdain, to see 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqJY4G4Gtz1
Their troops dispers'd, the royal virgin free, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPk0jmyTuSM
The Grecians rally, and their pow'rs unite, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2b49ZWTL0u
With fury charge us, and renew the fight. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6w5FnOgKGm
The brother kings with Ajax join their force, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAW6jxsY3QYb
And the whole squadron of Thessalian horse. 928Please respect copyright.PENANARgoZ5v7aZx
"Thus, when the rival winds their quarrel try, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzhGp1CA91w
Contending for the kingdom of the sky, 928Please respect copyright.PENANABbm9rIEjht
South, east, and west, on airy coursers borne; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAouUhl2JPtb
The whirlwind gathers, and the woods are torn: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3pnfcq7L28
Then Nereus strikes the deep; the billows rise, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfUUxW53Aug
And, mix'd with ooze and sand, pollute the skies. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0fUqk0qKnR
The troops we squander'd first again appear 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyEpuwa2MNL
From several quarters, and enclose the rear. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4CkIn7deoW
They first observe, and to the rest betray, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5hW6kb4RLo
Our diff'rent speech; our borrow'd arms survey. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKYasDbOnIn
Oppress'd with odds, we fall; Coroebus first, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA97483S6Cil
At Pallas' altar, by Peneleus pierc'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAthWTrKk3bR
Then Ripheus follow'd, in th' unequal fight; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAiZLSwNBqq1
Just of his word, observant of the right: 928Please respect copyright.PENANATkrv0xNWr5
Heav'n thought not so. Dymas their fate attends, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA54kqRAuPfG
With Hypanis, mistaken by their friends. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhnQxRbDTLG
Nor, Pantheus, thee, thy miter, nor the bands 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYaEMXT4KZi
Of awful Phoebus, sav'd from impious hands. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJspq8V8PHu
Ye Trojan flames, your testimony bear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJFGTyUgKLh
What I perform'd, and what I suffer'd there; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwpA5nBS81T
No sword avoiding in the fatal strife, 928Please respect copyright.PENANArwn48W3GEW
Expos'd to death, and prodigal of life; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEMcpWTpNDP
Witness, ye heavens! I live not by my fault: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAV0KjhBhoVc
I strove to have deserv'd the death I sought. 928Please respect copyright.PENANARxCwseNkRs
But, when I could not fight, and would have died, 928Please respect copyright.PENANADjQ7Xlh8cF
Borne off to distance by the growing tide, 928Please respect copyright.PENANASJ5ZlMiBFr
Old Iphitus and I were hurried thence, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXZYNW1hM1l
With Pelias wounded, and without defense. 928Please respect copyright.PENANArbGmb8Kmq3
New clamors from th' invested palace ring: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAE7BxQUVOhs
We run to die, or disengage the king. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYfVKKtxUJ5
So hot th' assault, so high the tumult rose, 928Please respect copyright.PENANATSdbLBETnH
While ours defend, and while the Greeks oppose 928Please respect copyright.PENANAum7rW0rIEL
As all the Dardan and Argolic race 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlNGkGF3VJB
Had been contracted in that narrow space; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuRXGSaHuOt
Or as all Ilium else were void of fear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAa77kMkykDH
And tumult, war, and slaughter, only there. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuP1DHdqrjQ
Their targets in a tortoise cast, the foes, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEILwipLu6W
Secure advancing, to the turrets rose: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWbayPlOMXX
Some mount the scaling ladders; some, more bold, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAb41VPcIzZd
Swerve upwards, and by posts and pillars hold; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAj0tzEixQLY
Their left hand gripes their bucklers in th' ascent, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1PzEAzapRF
While with their right they seize the battlement. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6PKZw7PcJg
From their demolish'd tow'rs the Trojans throw 928Please respect copyright.PENANAV5kR1yJALI
Huge heaps of stones, that, falling, crush the foe; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAY6jmgv6SaU
And heavy beams and rafters from the sides 928Please respect copyright.PENANAm2m4JrJTSC
(Such arms their last necessity provides) 928Please respect copyright.PENANAL99tqukkdT
And gilded roofs, come tumbling from on high, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Ar1Y8QUg
The marks of state and ancient royalty. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA607lcCtcvs
The guards below, fix'd in the pass, attend 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPFOqwG7F99
The charge undaunted, and the gate defend. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUvA2Kv6dGh
Renew'd in courage with recover'd breath, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVxd3MmKVyK
A second time we ran to tempt our death, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGnbUoE2mvk
To clear the palace from the foe, succeed 928Please respect copyright.PENANAM7O22kRDy6
The weary living, and revenge the dead. 928Please respect copyright.PENANARnezE50m79
"A postern door, yet unobserv'd and free, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwbZ7fgFWmh
Join'd by the length of a blind gallery, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAi0QC5mu6Gv
To the king's closet led: a way well known 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtSfSBMiA0v
To Hector's wife, while Priam held the throne, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnjMD3Q2PPP
Thro' which she brought Astyanax, unseen, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEYM8LQIpJn
To cheer his grandsire and his grandsire's queen. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtDp9Az8JED
Thro' this we pass, and mount the tow'r, from whence 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHzs3ULv1oV
With unavailing arms the Trojans make defense. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKzOpEQ80Rw
From this the trembling king had oft descried 928Please respect copyright.PENANAr2fDkcaySJ
The Grecian camp, and saw their navy ride. 928Please respect copyright.PENANARCiSBR6Kdn
Beams from its lofty height with swords we hew, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAr5dwXQURbK
Then, wrenching with our hands, th' assault renew; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAT1x9tcZimr
And, where the rafters on the columns meet, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAAFJmBFVssA
We push them headlong with our arms and feet. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjGVApGDRK1
The lightning flies not swifter than the fall, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfAUA0wQH89
Nor thunder louder than the ruin'd wall: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAselSG93JwE
Down goes the top at once; the Greeks beneath 928Please respect copyright.PENANAK0AwauFxRH
Are piecemeal torn, or pounded into death. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMg7IwwXL2N
Yet more succeed, and more to death are sent; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzV6v9Elh5L
We cease not from above, nor they below relent. 928Please respect copyright.PENANADknlmXmxsq
Before the gate stood Pyrrhus, threat'ning loud, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUOWPv9oXa1
With glitt'ring arms conspicuous in the crowd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAit3jrtJND0
So shines, renew'd in youth, the crested snake, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAm8ibCZ6AAS
Who slept the winter in a thorny brake, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcGtC1OFONF
And, casting off his slough when spring returns, 928Please respect copyright.PENANACJjeut5ivp
Now looks aloft, and with new glory burns; 928Please respect copyright.PENANATzF1KtQlnd
Restor'd with poisonous herbs, his ardent sides 928Please respect copyright.PENANAy9N7OHcDgl
Reflect the sun; and rais'd on spires he rides; 928Please respect copyright.PENANABQo1oBKQpM
High o'er the grass, hissing he rolls along, 928Please respect copyright.PENANATZxoRHi6uy
And brandishes by fits his forky tongue. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjoEcIlPDeV
Proud Periphas, and fierce Automedon, 928Please respect copyright.PENANALs8qiupNbk
His father's charioteer, together run 928Please respect copyright.PENANAz8dNoJRGUs
To force the gate; the Scyrian infantry 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtzket6B5Y2
Rush on in crowds, and the barr'd passage free. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAE8Sr02AUR9
Ent'ring the court, with shouts the skies they rend; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzFiRc771SW
And flaming firebrands to the roofs ascend. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAo00ZtUnySW
Himself, among the foremost, deals his blows, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAaMDAEDXaKD
And with his ax repeated strokes bestows 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjklfyntLFi
On the strong doors; then all their shoulders ply, 928Please respect copyright.PENANASg9MID9YrD
Till from the posts the brazen hinges fly. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAh5YUXGfFXu
He hews apace; the double bars at length 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwEj5M9mgrQ
Yield to his ax and unresisted strength. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9kL4XUJOEk
A mighty breach is made: the rooms conceal'd 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3qYmn3zehM
Appear, and all the palace is reveal'd; 928Please respect copyright.PENANARcBfX5SYES
The halls of audience, and of public state, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJVJ6gHlgDN
And where the lonely queen in secret sate. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAM0crucGsP5
Arm'd soldiers now by trembling maids are seen, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAK31Hx39gwj
With not a door, and scarce a space, between. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfMTvC04IWx
The house is fill'd with loud laments and cries, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvPsjvwdhNP
And shrieks of women rend the vaulted skies; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAudXjHd4nnQ
The fearful matrons run from place to place, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7I2y7oXwT5
And kiss the thresholds, and the posts embrace. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7A5vKRNZAB
The fatal work inhuman Pyrrhus plies, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAFnN7sLRY9u
And all his father sparkles in his eyes; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPKamUiUVJU
Nor bars, nor fighting guards, his force sustain: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4kutS3jtWP
The bars are broken, and the guards are slain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAa13K36R5u2
In rush the Greeks, and all the apartments fill; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3DfLrYZLTU
Those few defendants whom they find, they kill. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoxlbASoTyh
Not with so fierce a rage the foaming flood 928Please respect copyright.PENANAm2V6FJkqYa
Roars, when he finds his rapid course withstood; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5pLykMC9qt
Bears down the dams with unresisted sway, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAm8EKlyRHQi
And sweeps the cattle and the cots away. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHC6XjmudnU
These eyes beheld him when he march'd between 928Please respect copyright.PENANAisn3vydsQl
The brother kings: I saw th' unhappy queen, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUvo55sTROD
The hundred wives, and where old Priam stood, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAL1AcbXvdkI
To stain his hallow'd altar with his brood. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkOFS3RJdoH
The fifty nuptial beds (such hopes had he, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqn5KvLe9Qc
So large a promise, of a progeny), 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbIgT6m7NHG
The posts, of plated gold, and hung with spoils, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5EtzpG4XWm
Fell the reward of the proud victor's toils. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdMqL0bapBR
Where'er the raging fire had left a space, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6N27JuRodt
The Grecians enter and possess the place. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgCwksZ7EaY
"Perhaps you may of Priam's fate enquire. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAinaIzPSciJ
He, when he saw his regal town on fire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmJG4wUPn6l
His ruin'd palace, and his ent'ring foes, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA71NMy9nfOY
On ev'ry side inevitable woes, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbEcYHH4ytK
In arms, disus'd, invests his limbs, decay'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6p6y3tbAi
Like them, with age; a late and useless aid. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQphV5jd1Aq
His feeble shoulders scarce the weight sustain; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlWH3G5NMFX
Loaded, not arm'd, he creeps along with pain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAz1zHyEMSQs
Despairing of success, ambitious to be slain! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGX1aZMRcqv
Uncover'd but by heav'n, there stood in view 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgNxiLHQf1g
An altar; near the hearth a laurel grew, 928Please respect copyright.PENANArPWxnhJY7q
Dodder'd with age, whose boughs encompass round 928Please respect copyright.PENANACEblaQNcUj
The household gods, and shade the holy ground. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzllmlnTi7K
Here Hecuba, with all her helpless train 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmotfpc9fAn
Of dames, for shelter sought, but sought in vain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGFCxKmmAlJ
Driv'n like a flock of doves along the sky, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmFnmwYxLEk
Their images they hug, and to their altars fly. 928Please respect copyright.PENANASwVYQuO0XN
The Queen, when she beheld her trembling lord, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA043gc8ZFFI
And hanging by his side a heavy sword, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAsdcdI2M55T
'What rage,' she cried, 'has seiz'd my husband's mind? 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6CTS3z8vP5
What arms are these, and to what use design'd? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXIi45jLrVn
These times want other aids! Were Hector here, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhxF7u352ku
Ev'n Hector now in vain, like Priam, would appear. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1xWq0TBR1r
With us, one common shelter thou shalt find, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8PzW5DBG4t
Or in one common fate with us be join'd.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKiEe7GlxEj
She said, and with a last salute embrac'd 928Please respect copyright.PENANAP13bH86EmV
The poor old man, and by the laurel plac'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6QlsGDOFc6
Behold! Polites, one of Priam's sons, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMxJuTjUsWX
Pursued by Pyrrhus, there for safety runs. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8F3x67Roym
Thro' swords and foes, amaz'd and hurt, he flies 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwcFLQGc8Bk
Thro' empty courts and open galleries. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvhCTY5b71y
Him Pyrrhus, urging with his lance, pursues, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlxPaZUJMn5
And often reaches, and his thrusts renews. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1tpCaNNOe8
The youth, transfix'd, with lamentable cries, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQO5nqDrbB7
Expires before his wretched parent's eyes: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqOcKZXPqWm
Whom gasping at his feet when Priam saw, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoPEvh0siKv
The fear of death gave place to nature's law; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXTsiU2XrX8
And, shaking more with anger than with age, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAehPiuaL2JX
'The gods,' said he, 'requite thy brutal rage! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfBjjNrMyJd
As sure they will, barbarian, sure they must, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAt9GYN0qv5O
If there be gods in heav'n, and gods be just- 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMHRjRA7SeJ
Who tak'st in wrongs an insolent delight; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4KGHpa0eTz
With a son's death t' infect a father's sight. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIJwMm3qJ77
Not he, whom thou and lying fame conspire 928Please respect copyright.PENANAx0ibaMDAvo
To call thee his- not he, thy vaunted sire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkGzq9xdlBY
Thus us'd my wretched age: the gods he fear'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhDCp9ZsYzg
The laws of nature and of nations heard. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuuJaGUVKPo
He cheer'd my sorrows, and, for sums of gold, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAeNx3pfaF1V
The bloodless carcass of my Hector sold; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8BmvSTpxah
Pitied the woes a parent underwent, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfhJgPURCQj
And sent me back in safety from his tent.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfH7VxT5AP3
"This said, his feeble hand a javelin threw, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZfF2Iz57mD
Which, flutt'ring, seem'd to loiter as it flew: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVogzwE9mH6
Just, and but barely, to the mark it held, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWwQKUsKtRs
And faintly tinkled on the brazen shield. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGwbOwuvhxq
"Then Pyrrhus thus: 'Go thou from me to fate, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwAPkbZori9
And to my father my foul deeds relate. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVFldxfWzxk
Now die!' With that he dragg'd the trembling sire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANApXUcH2IMVS
Slidd'ring thro' clotter'd blood and holy mire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAf91W6RR1Jc
(The mingled paste his murder'd son had made,) 928Please respect copyright.PENANAK4fdlco6Tn
Haul'd from beneath the violated shade, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAeI31Hfd7O9
And on the sacred pile the royal victim laid. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMLYDcY3hKF
His right hand held his bloody falchion bare, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3jI3wtUaUN
His left he twisted in his hoary hair; 928Please respect copyright.PENANASW4xV24c6B
Then, with a speeding thrust, his heart he found: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9cqqRCuZVW
The lukewarm blood came rushing thro' the wound, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwaWEddVrCg
And sanguine streams distain'd the sacred ground. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wm9BenqUt
Thus Priam fell, and shar'd one common fate 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgv551Ifj0k
With Troy in ashes, and his ruin'd state: 928Please respect copyright.PENANASyxXQxeU6P
He, who the scepter of all Asia sway'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmuJIReitNA
Whom monarchs like domestic slaves obey'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5bpjYgnYi1
On the bleak shore now lies th' abandon'd king, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZBbVGjHlOn
A headless carcass, and a nameless thing. 928Please respect copyright.PENANArpbkGdS5uU
"Then, not before, I felt my cruddled blood 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcFenZFpkKg
Congeal with fear, my hair with horror stood: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAo6YBZBNawV
My father's image fill'd my pious mind, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQJiHlCRshl
Lest equal years might equal fortune find. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOGkCDWEXQL
Again I thought on my forsaken wife, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5hacZE4mHl
And trembled for my son's abandon'd life. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlinBZameKw
I look'd about, but found myself alone, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlG1HDZEDCV
Deserted at my need! My friends were gone. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEo2jmcLjpY
Some spent with toil, some with despair oppress'd, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlj7TWpGV4E
Leap'd headlong from the heights; the flames consum'd the rest. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAt2HzmoeAgQ
Thus, wand'ring in my way, without a guide, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qco18ZFOh
The graceless Helen in the porch I spied 928Please respect copyright.PENANA697p58ZJms
Of Vesta's temple; there she lurk'd alone; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdGVuyrEytW
Muffled she sate, and, what she could, unknown: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzq2WSojuC3
But, by the flames that cast their blaze around, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA23VQkVYQQq
That common bane of Greece and Troy I found. 928Please respect copyright.PENANABpcIxxAxV7
For Ilium burnt, she dreads the Trojan sword; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOH4n0JiOEc
More dreads the vengeance of her injur'd lord; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAt9TkSqs0OA
Ev'n by those gods who refug'd her abhorr'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAaZobPiolQL
Trembling with rage, the strumpet I regard, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnj2YndAJNx
Resolv'd to give her guilt the due reward: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgVzg00EkW1
'Shall she triumphant sail before the wind, 928Please respect copyright.PENANApbJze7gBgO
And leave in flames unhappy Troy behind? 928Please respect copyright.PENANABOtcCwce6I
Shall she her kingdom and her friends review, 928Please respect copyright.PENANANtnfZQnCEx
In state attended with a captive crew, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJ48UNA3Heh
While unreveng'd the good old Priam falls, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6cTfmNQrCK
And Grecian fires consume the Trojan walls? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOpiPsDLl9i
For this the Phrygian fields and Xanthian flood 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQyPEXEncnc
Were swell'd with bodies, and were drunk with blood? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYR7q79Luz0
'T is true, a soldier can small honor gain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAiAtJnIMu7X
And boast no conquest, from a woman slain: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkoFuRWnnJB
Yet shall the fact not pass without applause, 928Please respect copyright.PENANALGRjXuJ9WJ
Of vengeance taken in so just a cause; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdFAUb8ILNZ
The punish'd crime shall set my soul at ease, 928Please respect copyright.PENANActQSNlIFva
And murm'ring manes of my friends appease.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWYS3Yapkei
Thus while I rave, a gleam of pleasing light 928Please respect copyright.PENANATzBQ6PEHFL
Spread o'er the place; and, shining heav'nly bright, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHhwFMqVDE4
My mother stood reveal'd before my sight 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGn5DRmFbrO
Never so radiant did her eyes appear; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXee5OkkGgO
Not her own star confess'd a light so clear: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmkEM25nXxH
Great in her charms, as when on gods above 928Please respect copyright.PENANARDeLmdZKaQ
She looks, and breathes herself into their love. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAe608MPZFtM
She held my hand, the destin'd blow to break; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAH7htZbcqO5
Then from her rosy lips began to speak: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1M0qcciGU5
'My son, from whence this madness, this neglect 928Please respect copyright.PENANAsYchMdUmrv
Of my commands, and those whom I protect? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAd4mhJgFH8S
Why this unmanly rage? Recall to mind 928Please respect copyright.PENANASClxCAZynN
Whom you forsake, what pledges leave behind. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1k6FBbJ409
Look if your helpless father yet survive, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhve8RK5Wbb
Or if Ascanius or Creusa live. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbVQoul3Su8
Around your house the greedy Grecians err; 928Please respect copyright.PENANADyVDR3SzGE
And these had perish'd in the nightly war, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4tfCwONnV8
But for my presence and protecting care. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYkyENGpo2z
Not Helen's face, nor Paris, was in fault; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8tyw2Vrqji
But by the gods was this destruction brought. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgCM86irDxA
Now cast your eyes around, while I dissolve 928Please respect copyright.PENANALrcCPUCtDH
The mists and films that mortal eyes involve, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8tVpGzlusN
Purge from your sight the dross, and make you see 928Please respect copyright.PENANAI04wNkas9o
The shape of each avenging deity. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wntnen3Tm
Enlighten'd thus, my just commands fulfil, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7qGoXWfMun
Nor fear obedience to your mother's will. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAebPRblNLok
Where yon disorder'd heap of ruin lies, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA88JjfSoLts
Stones rent from stones; where clouds of dust arise- 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhId52IHyYl
Amid that smother Neptune holds his place, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHGPyqarIJE
Below the wall's foundation drives his mace, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXJPngM3WXJ
And heaves the building from the solid base. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6F8gnqLCgE
Look where, in arms, imperial Juno stands 928Please respect copyright.PENANADoYIhEnDrA
Full in the Scaean gate, with loud commands, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvYcgdo8ZEd
Urging on shore the tardy Grecian bands. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUZiwJ5ooI8
See! Pallas, of her snaky buckler proud, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAl9pskmjnfs
Bestrides the tow'r, refulgent thro' the cloud: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAI8QaZftRi0
See! Jove new courage to the foe supplies, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGFQwJ4Rjw4
And arms against the town the partial deities. 928Please respect copyright.PENANACCR6zPlP0e
Haste hence, my son; this fruitless labor end: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8NlhqhQQ85
Haste, where your trembling spouse and sire attend: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOzKRgUKffy
Haste; and a mother's care your passage shall befriend.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUD4fIeJKmu
She said, and swiftly vanish'd from my sight, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGzjdXC6XCO
Obscure in clouds and gloomy shades of night. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwD92srBp9z
I look'd, I listen'd; dreadful sounds I hear; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAG8KgSlGqoo
And the dire forms of hostile gods appear. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQDpfyhkweB
Troy sunk in flames I saw (nor could prevent), 928Please respect copyright.PENANANQ5Xql0SAq
And Ilium from its old foundations rent; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAR4lf8jbIl5
Rent like a mountain ash, which dar'd the winds, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAo3SFWjCY3U
And stood the sturdy strokes of lab'ring hinds. 928Please respect copyright.PENANACZonFaqNAa
About the roots the cruel ax resounds; 928Please respect copyright.PENANApeybtJOtAx
The stumps are pierc'd with oft-repeated wounds: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA80VLBXUf5D
The war is felt on high; the nodding crown 928Please respect copyright.PENANADSQEIvdOJH
Now threats a fall, and throws the leafy honors down. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1AiiQLEJ92
To their united force it yields, tho' late, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3nYeHv4EYI
And mourns with mortal groans th' approaching fate: 928Please respect copyright.PENANALfc2BgIIq7
The roots no more their upper load sustain; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0KLtmUqDfl
But down she falls, and spreads a ruin thro' the plain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0GozRsZOiG
"Descending thence, I scape thro' foes and fire: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjotD3cfrvF
Before the goddess, foes and flames retire. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAsLI7c7c6Hc
Arriv'd at home, he, for whose only sake, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hhmuw9GF1
Or most for his, such toils I undertake, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHJf2c84gWd
The good Anchises, whom, by timely flight, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWC5Fljmb4U
I purpos'd to secure on Ida's height, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAEtnpzanKQG
Refus'd the journey, resolute to die 928Please respect copyright.PENANAFrX0BBzXeQ
And add his fun'rals to the fate of Troy, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgmVpwY7VCz
Rather than exile and old age sustain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnHOiyEW9rZ
'Go you, whose blood runs warm in ev'ry vein. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAO2aDrhWEZE
Had Heav'n decreed that I should life enjoy, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAN0Qm1CHgFB
Heav'n had decreed to save unhappy Troy. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGMultS4VOu
'T is, sure, enough, if not too much, for one, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIcT9rBfMeD
Twice to have seen our Ilium overthrown. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmpseBBo3J8
Make haste to save the poor remaining crew, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuxkBhljdd8
And give this useless corpse a long adieu. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqkZD423jHR
These weak old hands suffice to stop my breath; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgYzRPf8rYa
At least the pitying foes will aid my death, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdcysoHWJMV
To take my spoils, and leave my body bare: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVaG2wt7BRe
As for my sepulcher, let Heav'n take care. 928Please respect copyright.PENANALzAP3VTzs8
'T is long since I, for my celestial wife 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9FVsOstDtR
Loath'd by the gods, have dragg'd a ling'ring life; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkv9Kauldub
Since ev'ry hour and moment I expire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmzQwim0mYb
Blasted from heav'n by Jove's avenging fire.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXqTJlrmTEj
This oft repeated, he stood fix'd to die: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfyvjdQ1nu7
Myself, my wife, my son, my family, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAd5WxuBidXQ
Intreat, pray, beg, and raise a doleful cry- 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKAKW9JClKt
'What, will he still persist, on death resolve, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAFaaks0NE7u
And in his ruin all his house involve!' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAmbOaziifFb
He still persists his reasons to maintain; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5QsZxXjDx9
Our pray'rs, our tears, our loud laments, are vain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPa96y19rpK
"Urg'd by despair, again I go to try 928Please respect copyright.PENANAB9M5D8oLH9
The fate of arms, resolv'd in fight to die: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4aFD9DTqCj
'What hope remains, but what my death must give? 928Please respect copyright.PENANANbmuBookbd
Can I, without so dear a father, live? 928Please respect copyright.PENANASfhFQatfhT
You term it prudence, what I baseness call: 928Please respect copyright.PENANABneUTymo7U
Could such a word from such a parent fall? 928Please respect copyright.PENANA29ldNmU0ne
If Fortune please, and so the gods ordain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJKgHo9zuud
That nothing should of ruin'd Troy remain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKCMMj1mvQH
And you conspire with Fortune to be slain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANATMwOqZFxFr
The way to death is wide, th' approaches near: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1CGtGX1Xx
For soon relentless Pyrrhus will appear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKjmln55rFX
Reeking with Priam's blood- the wretch who slew 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7DWEB7WB9d
The son (inhuman) in the father's view, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1GF8BUxe2H
And then the sire himself to the dire altar drew. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJJnIK7viiJ
O goddess mother, give me back to Fate; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhdWdoryIPL
Your gift was undesir'd, and came too late! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWeAcBNDlHQ
Did you, for this, unhappy me convey 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0GryTFD6cH
Thro' foes and fires, to see my house a prey? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHZveiY63yH
Shall I my father, wife, and son behold, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPUmp5xVjP2
Welt'ring in blood, each other's arms infold? 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjN9uzbPqHC
Haste! gird my sword, tho' spent and overcome: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAtYtWo3cmd9
'T is the last summons to receive our doom. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQQvEvvDKKP
I hear thee, Fate; and I obey thy call! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQstCm5NR1F
Not unreveng'd the foe shall see my fall. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3PXrXin0eo
Restore me to the yet unfinish'd fight: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKxSN708GCB
My death is wanting to conclude the night.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIz7czaVmr5
Arm'd once again, my glitt'ring sword I wield, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVSVkwymIKG
While th' other hand sustains my weighty shield, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAsW13gj94dB
And forth I rush to seek th' abandon'd field. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOvu0WPCKdw
I went; but sad Creusa stopp'd my way, 928Please respect copyright.PENANApltjhUyPF2
And cross the threshold in my passage lay, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA77yo4hcKs9
Embrac'd my knees, and, when I would have gone, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAicHBEl87NR
Shew'd me my feeble sire and tender son: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6wXh6vFey7
'If death be your design, at least,' said she, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoPY7uoXp0Q
'Take us along to share your destiny. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0psRZ2v4MP
If any farther hopes in arms remain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANABE9KI2AV4N

To whom do you expose your father's life, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6T8UKamHbh
Your son's, and mine, your now forgotten wife!' 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6z7SYh6Jcf
While thus she fills the house with clam'rous cries, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAoL79u4GXyG
Our hearing is diverted by our eyes: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2qBi50mTHG
For, while I held my son, in the short space 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qsj7yE9LQ
Betwixt our kisses and our last embrace; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgTObl1BQMA
Strange to relate, from young Iulus' head 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJoBffnZZ0p
A lambent flame arose, which gently spread 928Please respect copyright.PENANARq4li5GBBJ
Around his brows, and on his temples fed. 928Please respect copyright.PENANABuAS89wmk7
Amaz'd, with running water we prepare 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIbdVFhjngc
To quench the sacred fire, and slake his hair; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWS9jkbWoNe
But old Anchises, vers'd in omens, rear'd 928Please respect copyright.PENANASdkr9pbW0O
His hands to heav'n, and this request preferr'd: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAb6x9GZtmTt
'If any vows, almighty Jove, can bend 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyYXEH9YqR6
Thy will; if piety can pray'rs commend, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKeFoL7oJBo
Confirm the glad presage which thou art pleas'd to send.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANARjzsn4YJKk
Scarce had he said, when, on our left, we hear 928Please respect copyright.PENANAv649qP0yHP
A peal of rattling thunder roll in air: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWSlpofEITe
There shot a streaming lamp along the sky, 928Please respect copyright.PENANARrVixij74o
Which on the winged lightning seem'd to fly; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAT8rKrbcQ4K
From o'er the roof the blaze began to move, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9U0jgin9HH
And, trailing, vanish'd in th' Idaean grove. 928Please respect copyright.PENANARYI4KTwngM
It swept a path in heav'n, and shone a guide, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGrsKI2FFXt
Then in a steaming stench of sulphur died. 928Please respect copyright.PENANARkg8x4aTzo
"The good old man with suppliant hands implor'd 928Please respect copyright.PENANApbYwLWT5VU
The gods' protection, and their star ador'd. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhqLMkB6njy
'Now, now,' said he, 'my son, no more delay! 928Please respect copyright.PENANARkizdh97fp
I yield, I follow where Heav'n shews the way. 928Please respect copyright.PENANADOmOnWbYFa
Keep, O my country gods, our dwelling place, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuXgENktgCm
And guard this relic of the Trojan race, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJ50UdE1L4V
This tender child! These omens are your own, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqa7KtXbxhD
And you can yet restore the ruin'd town. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAC8wctE5tzt
At least accomplish what your signs foreshow: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJZyCUGuC4C
I stand resign'd, and am prepar'd to go.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvMLGj4Vgd0
"He said. The crackling flames appear on high. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAK3T9vpWzvj
And driving sparkles dance along the sky. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6Jf0RR6tAE
With Vulcan's rage the rising winds conspire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwQzlPua4bT
And near our palace roll the flood of fire. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwp1VGsnNr4
'Haste, my dear father, ('t is no time to wait,) 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIJqGJEOWpE
And load my shoulders with a willing freight. 928Please respect copyright.PENANALEvyA4TAO6
Whate'er befalls, your life shall be my care; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA7A2zbgtSFt
One death, or one deliv'rance, we will share. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxzthaPuz3i
My hand shall lead our little son; and you, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAiLKhB9OAmy
My faithful consort, shall our steps pursue. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5582jhgNe2
Next, you, my servants, heed my strict commands: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGJtUerNLca
Without the walls a ruin'd temple stands, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAf48FgeeVPu
To Ceres hallow'd once; a cypress nigh 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgETZQg1gh3
Shoots up her venerable head on high, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAMTmmnBq8y8
By long religion kept; there bend your feet, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjjL4VURNDr
And in divided parties let us meet. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAETjtEO7rko
Our country gods, the relics, and the bands, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2Py4Ca6Mop
Hold you, my father, in your guiltless hands: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHV5bwLFILD
In me 't is impious holy things to bear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOSU54O5r9W
Red as I am with slaughter, new from war, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0G9YNZTdpY
Till in some living stream I cleanse the guilt 928Please respect copyright.PENANA67K8JyPJBM
Of dire debate, and blood in battle spilt.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0WeZi5BJRn
Thus, ord'ring all that prudence could provide, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlXSxReT4vi
I clothe my shoulders with a lion's hide 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgzzpBRH8CO
And yellow spoils; then, on my bending back, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0G8VeBLh4v
The welcome load of my dear father take; 928Please respect copyright.PENANATaEFdc9cfK
While on my better hand Ascanius hung, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUkBl7mLjyY
And with unequal paces tripp'd along. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA8A4Hmbv21l
Creusa kept behind; by choice we stray 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgtxXke2OUr
Thro' ev'ry dark and ev'ry devious way. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvtWKaAJO1k
I, who so bold and dauntless, just before, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6bPYcgWWp
The Grecian darts and shock of lances bore, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAc5Ro30K8z5
At ev'ry shadow now am seiz'd with fear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAScV3zj4KkS
Not for myself, but for the charge I bear; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAg0CF4yVAVp
Till, near the ruin'd gate arriv'd at last, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzxVBWXBHUm
Secure, and deeming all the danger past, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjRT4AehAYt
A frightful noise of trampling feet we hear. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVhHRR83dVI
My father, looking thro' the shades, with fear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAB7rg82YUy8
Cried out: 'Haste, haste, my son, the foes are nigh; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAo6UFTk3Zkc
Their swords and shining armor I descry.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANA00B6SSknMw
Some hostile god, for some unknown offense, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAHBCbhal3xj
Had sure bereft my mind of better sense; 928Please respect copyright.PENANALAKoqdYzph
For, while thro' winding ways I took my flight, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVOOUys33Vj
And sought the shelter of the gloomy night, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAj1Al7wz7uR
Alas! I lost Creusa: hard to tell 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjjGYb3IkQA
If by her fatal destiny she fell, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA96myh9F0Ud
Or weary sate, or wander'd with affright; 928Please respect copyright.PENANApmRB7HCJ7R
But she was lost for ever to my sight. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAb5GiGE8jXS
I knew not, or reflected, till I meet 928Please respect copyright.PENANADWh1SwWVZa
My friends, at Ceres' now deserted seat. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXIKEkGb46E
We met: not one was wanting; only she 928Please respect copyright.PENANAund2eUYJle
Deceiv'd her friends, her son, and wretched me. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAj7KVVT94Xi
"What mad expressions did my tongue refuse! 928Please respect copyright.PENANAeYHioBYdQl
Whom did I not, of gods or men, accuse! 928Please respect copyright.PENANASZgdWSSNkI
This was the fatal blow, that pain'd me more 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuRuFKQsDNA
Than all I felt from ruin'd Troy before. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1MsVaggJDp
Stung with my loss, and raving with despair, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqTf3VK6HmG
Abandoning my now forgotten care, 928Please respect copyright.PENANArAuxXKGL6m
Of counsel, comfort, and of hope bereft, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q1UHq8JXT
My sire, my son, my country gods I left. 928Please respect copyright.PENANALzk7u4w1BR
In shining armor once again I sheathe 928Please respect copyright.PENANANX5r2hZLDY
My limbs, not feeling wounds, nor fearing death. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAM5SnsQl4HP
Then headlong to the burning walls I run, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOqHwEjvlNS
And seek the danger I was forc'd to shun. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXBDJfknyp9
I tread my former tracks; thro' night explore 928Please respect copyright.PENANAwEZab5m8sq
Each passage, ev'ry street I cross'd before. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAIjfdqqhUco
All things were full of horror and affright, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhquuKyggt6
And dreadful ev'n the silence of the night. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAn8PYk09U2N
Then to my father's house I make repair, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAdBzGk5XQwy
With some small glimpse of hope to find her there. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgH27l4fTTR
Instead of her, the cruel Greeks I met; 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1y0Vlo3rVk
The house was fill'd with foes, with flames beset. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA00Ioux93CQ
Driv'n on the wings of winds, whole sheets of fire, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAnOb2sALGxe
Thro' air transported, to the roofs aspire. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAauspRtSzxH
From thence to Priam's palace I resort, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlpB0pptGsK
And search the citadel and desart court. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAN1vHb62RmP
Then, unobserv'd, I pass by Juno's church: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUt4Q46tjcx
A guard of Grecians had possess'd the porch; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAYVgVPurX9u
There Phoenix and Ulysses watch prey, 928Please respect copyright.PENANANCv51lhmxP
And thither all the wealth of Troy convey: 928Please respect copyright.PENANALBU5H7VygT
The spoils which they from ransack'd houses brought, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGjFCeoXkJD
And golden bowls from burning altars caught, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAivry4F9a8M
The tables of the gods, the purple vests, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAWs7oYfezA2
The people's treasure, and the pomp of priests. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAKI52wV7c29
A rank of wretched youths, with pinion'd hands, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAfKwy9fet1E
And captive matrons, in long order stands. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAB4gzCnr0dd
Then, with ungovern'd madness, I proclaim, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAxGFaZ9ygla
Thro' all the silent street, Creusa's name: 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3ERerTzoVj
Creusa still I call; at length she hears, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA29baLjj7Up
And sudden thro' the shades of night appears- 928Please respect copyright.PENANARUYQqDa5rF
Appears, no more Creusa, nor my wife, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3RVVIbwzTX
But a pale specter, larger than the life. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q3JeDoQ2b
Aghast, astonish'd, and struck dumb with fear, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGPy91BqfnE
I stood; like bristles rose my stiffen'd hair. 928Please respect copyright.PENANACZTXcAVyU6
Then thus the ghost began to soothe my grief 928Please respect copyright.PENANAqAmq44YETQ
'Nor tears, nor cries, can give the dead relief. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAo8yFfcVrxD
Desist, my much-lov'd lord,'t indulge your pain; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAFq2VG4rgQi
You bear no more than what the gods ordain. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAG0Q7sBfHtY
My fates permit me not from hence to fly; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAZs9MtvdF8Y
Nor he, the great controller of the sky. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAixBWVTlcLT
Long wand'ring ways for you the pow'rs decree; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAo74stre5Ia
On land hard labors, and a length of sea. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAOPBFNZ7Fgd
Then, after many painful years are past, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAGD6TT9gGZa
On Latium's happy shore you shall be cast, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyxCkwPd6ZT
Where gentle Tiber from his bed beholds 928Please respect copyright.PENANAbqofLYq5zv
The flow'ry meadows, and the feeding folds. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1L0yzGZHir
There end your toils; and there your fates provide 928Please respect copyright.PENANA1n5jsoP0Xv
A quiet kingdom, and a royal bride: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAAF3ZyQTqmK
There fortune shall the Trojan line restore, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAgfVpIGoDV9
And you for lost Creusa weep no more. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAI1jq1ejqAO
Fear not that I shall watch, with servile shame, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAsI4fBPGw7p
Th' imperious looks of some proud Grecian dame; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAT8PRAkJQ28
Or, stooping to the victor's lust, disgrace 928Please respect copyright.PENANAyFQEC0w6tZ
My goddess mother, or my royal race. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA3k2iAdG6P8
And now, farewell! The parent of the gods 928Please respect copyright.PENANAv77rbNhF0M
Restrains my fleeting soul in her abodes: 928Please respect copyright.PENANAzyEXeYLdB3
I trust our common issue to your care.' 928Please respect copyright.PENANAUfknPDdaRH
She said, and gliding pass'd unseen in air. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPmi4ZcH5Pg
I strove to speak: but horror tied my tongue; 928Please respect copyright.PENANAPMFWolBRBf
And thrice about her neck my arms I flung, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAhNEquz28zf
And, thrice deceiv'd, on vain embraces hung. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAcUMFU5vKhE
Light as an empty dream at break of day, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6XoQPzEeOD
Or as a blast of wind, she rush'd away. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXvZfYYNKxB
"Thus having pass'd the night in fruitless pain, 928Please respect copyright.PENANANk4rJrw0Iz
I to my longing friends return again, 928Please respect copyright.PENANA5rdcoEqKj3
Amaz'd th' augmented number to behold, 928Please respect copyright.PENANAlFOaQASWAf
