Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOgQdEv00K8
Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAO2zKLAGpR4
Then, casting back his eyes, with dire amaze, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAVPpSgMBMcU
Sees on the Punic shore the mounting blaze. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA08vmOmXgTM
The cause unknown; yet his presaging mind 890Please respect copyright.PENANAod3Gv2QesY
The fate of Dido from the fire divin'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHeszBH0ZoM
He knew the stormy souls of womankind, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2QCqA3HZxd
What secret springs their eager passions move, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnJRGDK3uM6
How capable of death for injur'd love. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbRfftZ5A5X
Dire auguries from hence the Trojans draw; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHRTCmwVfYx
Till neither fires nor shining shores they saw. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvHhULq2EQ5
Now seas and skies their prospect only bound; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjGUB7wzb2X
An empty space above, a floating field around. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAM5LX2xohBU
But soon the heav'ns with shadows were o'erspread; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnzEfdKugZR
A swelling cloud hung hov'ring o'er their head: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAl5eeUF7WtI
Livid it look'd, the threat'ning of a storm: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQCzMA5ibBo
Then night and horror ocean's face deform. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAP5DjlFHM9s
The pilot, Palinurus, cried aloud: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAh7ZMJrTsOw
"What gusts of weather from that gath'ring cloud 890Please respect copyright.PENANApM42xASFB7
My thoughts presage! Ere yet the tempest roars, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtVFUjHsGIN
Stand to your tackle, mates, and stretch your oars; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA36SBxaQg5o
Contract your swelling sails, and luff to wind." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzMMBVGHEUZ
The frighted crew perform the task assign'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZLTuVQ20v9
Then, to his fearless chief: "Not Heav'n," said he, 890Please respect copyright.PENANApvNdj2hw3j
"Tho' Jove himself should promise Italy, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPMiCBNS2bc
Can stem the torrent of this raging sea. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1y9TBlyzJT
Mark how the shifting winds from west arise, 890Please respect copyright.PENANACKkLW6ElC7
And what collected night involves the skies! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhNBmKJu0ty
Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAAdJqM3Ydv3
Much less against the tempest force their way. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvYcXMNkD5t
'T is fate diverts our course, and fate we must obey. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYKsOSdfv5u
Not far from hence, if I observ'd aright 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyHXDxIeQlw
The southing of the stars, and polar light, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxZHTvpKowC
Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores 890Please respect copyright.PENANAX3nSlByltz
In safety we may reach with struggling oars." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZEybvRm6Tr
Aeneas then replied: "Too sure I find 890Please respect copyright.PENANABQ0MHu9NUn
We strive in vain against the seas and wind: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbVEmQncitk
Now shift your sails; what place can please me more 890Please respect copyright.PENANASYLoDjvVWp
Than what you promise, the Sicilian shore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYv1XSWHbDb
Whose hallow'd earth Anchises' bones contains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYxmvmEFSWe
And where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns?" 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJfbxuhBUsJ
The course resolv'd, before the western wind 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyFJmC84AqR
They scud amain, and make the port assign'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOyzlK4yOpk
Meantime Acestes, from a lofty stand, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAaJXYkPds9O
Beheld the fleet descending on the land; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3TZTuqNRS
And, not unmindful of his ancient race, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdoHzM5PSto
Down from the cliff he ran with eager pace, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAS9rNjRilag
And held the hero in a strict embrace. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1XdeeGwvOn
Of a rough Libyan bear the spoils he wore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4ae042jqn
And either hand a pointed jav'lin bore. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAR4bYhNC5jg
His mother was a dame of Dardan blood; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3a4muxSA5s
His sire Crinisus, a Sicilian flood. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyjFbmctlbk
He welcomes his returning friends ashore 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9ae78Hipl1
With plenteous country cates and homely store. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmB6ycTY56A
Now, when the following morn had chas'd away 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgGrIqEB09I
The flying stars, and light restor'd the day, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4dhntz92Ta
Aeneas call'd the Trojan troops around, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmWb9zS4sSt
And thus bespoke them from a rising ground: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbRe5lK1laq
"Offspring of heav'n, divine Dardanian race! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMpm8d141Rm
The sun, revolving thro' th' ethereal space, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwRPllhXZvT
The shining circle of the year has fill'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmj6FZqtAoB
Since first this isle my father's ashes held: 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7bYbhKE7YK
And now the rising day renews the year; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkSvg37VpdK
A day for ever sad, for ever dear. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9yPaP2QTcQ
This would I celebrate with annual games, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnHl2bIZ2G6
With gifts on altars pil'd, and holy flames, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6JrsQioZha
Tho' banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvlgFHPcgln
Caught on the Grecian seas, or hostile lands: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuRIlM2LTRt
But since this happy storm our fleet has driv'n 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6PvvFxStcQ
(Not, as I deem, without the will of Heav'n) 890Please respect copyright.PENANADRcKsJ2XLd
Upon these friendly shores and flow'ry plains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUz7pWa1pVi
Which hide Anchises and his blest remains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdGNL4en9RA
Let us with joy perform his honors due, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFGAuyYQqUu
And pray for prosp'rous winds, our voyage to renew; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOaHZvhmASQ
Pray, that in towns and temples of our own, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2MUZMKHegs
The name of great Anchises may be known, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAziZk2I47Yb
And yearly games may spread the gods' renown. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9MB2ZFjRVJ
Our sports Acestes, of the Trojan race, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZIl0mTWPNz
With royal gifts ordain'd, is pleas'd to grace: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYB4TLtg2n7
Two steers on ev'ry ship the king bestows; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmSaoRSPm70
His gods and ours shall share your equal vows. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWKIW55hXhu
Besides, if, nine days hence, the rosy morn 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKkCac2SlmY
Shall with unclouded light the skies adorn, 890Please respect copyright.PENANApV8cvUOoPR
That day with solemn sports I mean to grace: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkycziwc89n
Light galleys on the seas shall run a wat'ry race; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQIAjx5SIlr
Some shall in swiftness for the goal contend, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAF5zpgObZGL
And others try the twanging bow to bend; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOg5CG8GcMH
The strong, with iron gauntlets arm'd, shall stand 890Please respect copyright.PENANAol2X2coRXq
Oppos'd in combat on the yellow sand. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmi8U6B33eQ
Let all be present at the games prepar'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyvNS5jTmEk
And joyful victors wait the just reward. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAR7gqa36o1A
But now assist the rites, with garlands crown'd." 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5gyJxOibYA
He said, and first his brows with myrtle bound. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiNKFibZd9M
Then Helymus, by his example led, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6H46zkBQ4w
And old Acestes, each adorn'd his head; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnDS4ASvCOK
Thus young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqsGiGqHSzL
His temples tied, and all the Trojan race. 890Please respect copyright.PENANACZBHgDIQWm
Aeneas then advanc'd amidst the train, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHYFEerGoDs
By thousands follow'd thro' the flow'ry plain, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAM2KBoX5O31
To great Anchises' tomb; which when he found, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6oyt50P9AY
He pour'd to Bacchus, on the hallow'd ground, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXK6l19I2gk
Two bowls of sparkling wine, of milk two more, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAg7UHtWiVeS
And two (from offer'd bulls) of purple gore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANABxA9Li9MIP
With roses then the sepulcher he strow'd 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1XfUT4pzSW
And thus his father's ghost bespoke aloud: 890Please respect copyright.PENANADxbuYGw6dZ
"Hail, O ye holy manes! hail again, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwcrZAm0vFW
Paternal ashes, now review'd in vain! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFuubshQzKP
The gods permitted not, that you, with me, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIqS4N6nSoG
Should reach the promis'd shores of Italy, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHLdHD2dUzl
Or Tiber's flood, what flood soe'er it be." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhD6Z7Osle1
Scarce had he finish'd, when, with speckled pride, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQCSPlSMKx9
A serpent from the tomb began to glide; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAAfoZZy0isO
His hugy bulk on sev'n high volumes roll'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmoNkB8oA57
Blue was his breadth of back, but streak'd with scaly gold: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqgLJLc1ZEn
Thus riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3jm62aI9gV
A rolling fire along, and singe the grass. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHlTjgZQveu
More various colors thro' his body run, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfV9aBEdFQV
Than Iris when her bow imbibes the sun. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxV0z2BjPSw
Betwixt the rising altars, and around, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwkSkQt6KpP
The sacred monster shot along the ground; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKx494nM1bY
With harmless play amidst the bowls he pass'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwmnb1uLghO
And with his lolling tongue assay'd the taste: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAG6d32W1ybj
Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHIkaFWS1vD
Within the hollow tomb retir'd to rest. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKI1YBO1BXY
The pious prince, surpris'd at what he view'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqLoqtjRl3K
The fun'ral honors with more zeal renew'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4kV1EllOYf
Doubtful if this place's genius were, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbbeIGcbh4t
Or guardian of his father's sepulcher. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyWI3aJLVsE
Five sheep, according to the rites, he slew; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtuDpRjDBh9
As many swine, and steers of sable hue; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdkl5Q0vEiW
New gen'rous wine he from the goblets pour'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAj8XxxgLjkE
And call'd his father's ghost, from hell restor'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kwp17zUXE
The glad attendants in long order come, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8IKYFueHhS
Off'ring their gifts at great Anchises' tomb: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAooasUbyfK3
Some add more oxen: some divide the spoil; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXX6BCEolCa
Some place the chargers on the grassy soil; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAA8DwKKiifz
Some blow the fires, and off entrails broil. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4W1iXU74v4
Now came the day desir'd. The skies were bright 890Please respect copyright.PENANA56Iex1mNws
With rosy luster of the rising light: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAP1oEcbl2v2
The bord'ring people, rous'd by sounding fame 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8chhURLZHS
Of Trojan feasts and great Acestes' name, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdJfFo0LXYM
The crowded shore with acclamations fill, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Gqiqx10s
Part to behold, and part to prove their skill. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEp6odYTCyv
And first the gifts in public view they place, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuQpLbMLmJ3
Green laurel wreaths, and palm, the victors' grace: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkgXO8k4qXb
Within the circle, arms and tripods lie, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjTUoxjS6zY
Ingots of gold and silver, heap'd on high, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQXk49LOuac
And vests embroider'd, of the Tyrian dye. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyPhlWWLMFw
The trumpet's clangor then the feast proclaims, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPEh0CzCyPX
And all prepare for their appointed games. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbY5OWjImA5
Four galleys first, which equal rowers bear, 890Please respect copyright.PENANARNqeVDhQG6
Advancing, in the wat'ry lists appear. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlKGwji0pMN
The speedy Dolphin, that outstrips the wind, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAybPyUm7BUT
Bore Mnestheus, author of the Memmian kind: 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0jBt0nlx4n
Gyas the vast Chimaera's bulk commands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7DEHoQP7ZW
Which rising, like a tow'ring city stands; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjU04ovy7rF
Three Trojans tug at ev'ry lab'ring oar; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9HiYGrPmuM
Three banks in three degrees the sailors bore; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMwcBhS7IKg
Beneath their sturdy strokes the billows roar. 890Please respect copyright.PENANApxgWNxOq7a
Sergesthus, who began the Sergian race, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuzdzw5PoHX
In the great Centaur took the leading place; 890Please respect copyright.PENANATYCkCRe9ec
Cloanthus on the sea-green Scylla stood, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWrcwJsBJio
From whom Cluentius draws his Trojan blood. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUDX1MabvzJ
Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGqxwvqGFIn
There stands a rock: the raging billows roar 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqOSXQKxwIZ
Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhBhK570ZNk
Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUepIxT0jZG
In peace below the gentle waters run; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWhsz94K52S
The cormorants above lie basking in the sun. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAliwElE8Yx9
On this the hero fix'd an oak in sight, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA88tPu3bEMY
The mark to guide the mariners aright. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAA2FuLObkkF
To bear with this, the seamen stretch their oars; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAq4mmGH19jc
Then round the rock they steer, and seek the former shores. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAI632VmvmAT
The lots decide their place. Above the rest, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHlxS55RHL7
Each leader shining in his Tyrian vest; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5cIJXhoMkF
The common crew with wreaths of poplar boughs 890Please respect copyright.PENANATuqw0qGpJm
Their temples crown, and shade their sweaty brows: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtcTwKCT3lv
Besmear'd with oil, their naked shoulders shine. 890Please respect copyright.PENANASwlamXHg8n
All take their seats, and wait the sounding sign: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQT7MB7Qgg3
They gripe their oars; and ev'ry panting breast 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjwvXymnN7p
Is rais'd by turns with hope, by turns with fear depress'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPRyiODSaTi
The clangor of the trumpet gives the sign; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAw8gl74At63
At once they start, advancing in a line: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOh7CEilxT2
With shouts the sailors rend the starry skies; 890Please respect copyright.PENANATLHYydISox
Lash'd with their oars, the smoky billows rise; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZkzQ1AaQNh
Sparkles the briny main, and the vex'd ocean fries. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA70sjDjr7Tz
Exact in time, with equal strokes they row: 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9xD7GZo9v2
At once the brushing oars and brazen prow 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2I025Yxbin
Dash up the sandy waves, and ope the depths below. 890Please respect copyright.PENANABi7SHqf57Y
Not fiery coursers, in a chariot race, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhOpJ7QX8eN
Invade the field with half so swift a pace; 890Please respect copyright.PENANArXdNU7kJVB
Not the fierce driver with more fury lends 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqMzQvoiSRm
The sounding lash, and, ere the stroke descends, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIrFnQGgJwA
Low to the wheels his pliant body bends. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoEikojp4iD
The partial crowd their hopes and fears divide, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0eZ9QrtKhE
And aid with eager shouts the favor'd side. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAffwjrwXK7g
Cries, murmurs, clamors, with a mixing sound, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiMKwE7Dmuz
From woods to woods, from hills to hills rebound. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWWghwMvKpC
Amidst the loud applauses of the shore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHUgT50MYIV
Gyas outstripp'd the rest, and sprung before: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgpfJvJi0Ml
Cloanthus, better mann'd, pursued him fast, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2WL70L6sBN
But his o'er-masted galley check'd his haste. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZOJsWSnnA
The Centaur and the Dolphin brush the brine 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdmvUEEfkAC
With equal oars, advancing in a line; 890Please respect copyright.PENANADHDy1yrikb
And now the mighty Centaur seems to lead, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAI7RuuZC251
And now the speedy Dolphin gets ahead; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1zKSd3aHse
Now board to board the rival vessels row, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9aot9paCFq
The billows lave the skies, and ocean groans below. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAq8XbjRmZnE
They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfFLAd4n6Ip
In triumph rode, the victors of the main; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZG4t9HtYu
But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot stand 890Please respect copyright.PENANASJnJDyQG2y
More close to shore, and skim along the sand- 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3bNj0CsiGX
"Let others bear to sea!" Menoetes heard; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAy0Um5GqIYn
But secret shelves too cautiously he fear'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANACc4IpsTk8z
And, fearing, sought the deep; and still aloof he steer'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgxvwZ3czap
With louder cries the captain call'd again: 890Please respect copyright.PENANARpV51WTC6o
"Bear to the rocky shore, and shun the main." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEscQWPsmgc
He spoke, and, speaking, at his stern he saw 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyj1DjuIzal
The bold Cloanthus near the shelvings draw. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0fwMMrrgk5
Betwixt the mark and him the Scylla stood, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3zy5FSU5h9
And in a closer compass plow'd the flood. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfh5xJxzXyQ
He pass'd the mark; and, wheeling, got before: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAp6vT8jf7Jq
Gyas blasphem'd the gods, devoutly swore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJMWE6qboIO
Cried out for anger, and his hair he tore. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdh9Rl2VmoD
Mindless of others' lives (so high was grown 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYOfBm1QJcv
His rising rage) and careless of his own, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQxNMZWVIlG
The trembling dotard to the deck he drew; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQuHXiOqaaM
Then hoisted up, and overboard he threw: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZsJ4W0It96
This done, he seiz'd the helm; his fellows cheer'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOfJ3vPiOjm
Turn'd short upon the shelfs, and madly steer'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5pZlc9ETM8
Hardly his head the plunging pilot rears, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXCMH3xI0ml
Clogg'd with his clothes, and cumber'd with his years: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAaQyt5I8yre
Now dropping wet, he climbs the cliff with pain. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdoIOZ8Ta0K
The crowd, that saw him fall and float again, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwE59lrKOKB
Shout from the distant shore; and loudly laugh'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6eywYG5YE9
To see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draught. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZkuGt1qIkf
The following Centaur, and the Dolphin's crew, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWwVXF8JQ95
Their vanish'd hopes of victory renew; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0MhMlPCy1N
While Gyas lags, they kindle in the race, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAl1vmGvR5Mk
To reach the mark. Sergesthus takes the place; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxe5h3484w1
Mnestheus pursues; and while around they wind, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAS6VyZZarvZ
Comes up, not half his galley's length behind; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0vpaGYw8lr
Then, on the deck, amidst his mates appear'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIWv5xIGGC8
And thus their drooping courage he cheer'd: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJLTBAPocHO
"My friends, and Hector's followers heretofore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7a35AkNS5H
Exert your vigor; tug the lab'ring oar; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwh7fof3bfH
Stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, 890Please respect copyright.PENANABdwCexognf
Whom from the flaming walls of Troy I drew. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJhpQTmqQUA
In this, our common int'rest, let me find 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvuUfYlsoS9
That strength of hand, that courage of the mind, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqGiRrh4zff
As when you stemm'd the strong Malean flood, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAprLXFJiXnc
And o'er the Syrtes' broken billows row'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAU1yMEJx4It
I seek not now the foremost palm to gain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1k7TYZxiei
Tho' yet- but, ah! that haughty wish is vain! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAC1zldFAG0o
Let those enjoy it whom the gods ordain. 890Please respect copyright.PENANADvhz5f4WHd
But to be last, the lags of all the race!- 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlGWBPMZggd
Redeem yourselves and me from that disgrace." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiqDL5yC8UF
Now, one and all, they tug amain; they row 890Please respect copyright.PENANA82hmHSEhDv
At the full stretch, and shake the brazen prow. 890Please respect copyright.PENANATkzbcWxLOE
The sea beneath 'em sinks; their lab'ring sides 890Please respect copyright.PENANAntjQTypOxK
Are swell'd, and sweat runs gutt'ring down in tides. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjyu6mUAind
Chance aids their daring with unhop'd success; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4GdMvUKIkS
Sergesthus, eager with his beak to press 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFf9gM4723g
Betwixt the rival galley and the rock, 890Please respect copyright.PENANArZAs2cqype
Shuts up th' unwieldly Centaur in the lock. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIAbKvamwd1
The vessel struck; and, with the dreadful shock, 890Please respect copyright.PENANARWgDiDYxSZ
Her oars she shiver'd, and her head she broke. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiyqk3pFsEu
The trembling rowers from their banks arise, 890Please respect copyright.PENANASklllSWPTX
And, anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAR5SFX9qOHH
With iron poles they heave her off the shores, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtXzUnmlO3h
And gather from the sea their floating oars. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzHiNtG94M3
The crew of Mnestheus, with elated minds, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAncklqDZcBO
Urge their success, and call the willing winds; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAevS9AdHxon
Then ply their oars, and cut their liquid way 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlhDagONXtz
In larger compass on the roomy sea. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8WQkxDEulD
As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkUfTAph3DY
Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiwhE537Dtq
The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6USbZQgvWw
And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHbLdS7K4ZR
At first she flutters; but at length she springs 890Please respect copyright.PENANAldRauHK8Y6
To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAddac1pku5X
So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUtCqvQcFUI
And, flying with a force, that force assists his way. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMMdH2w3HZo
Sergesthus in the Centaur soon he pass'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgtoXA9nGAL
Wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxtJdLMc4jR
In vain the victor he with cries implores, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiPRk9nPJX2
And practices to row with shatter'd oars. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAz32xHi1iIa
Then Mnestheus bears with Gyas, and outflies: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAv0ivmnMvrw
The ship, without a pilot, yields the prize. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAX1XYduEKFD
Unvanquish'd Scylla now alone remains; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAawniA3s5Hf
Her he pursues, and all his vigor strains. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGfbHYfNcD3
Shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbq5Ory1og0
Applauding Echo to the shouts replies; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiCVpTSMw99
Shouts, wishes, and applause run rattling thro' the skies. 890Please respect copyright.PENANArzCJX57Y5H
These clamors with disdain the Scylla heard, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIYl4ifF8sS
Much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward: 890Please respect copyright.PENANARsONusZ7BD
Resolv'd to hold their own, they mend their pace, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAaKaF5zKdEk
All obstinate to die, or gain the race. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFfmAobx9zl
Rais'd with success, the Dolphin swiftly ran; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAztM5C6BqVz
For they can conquer, who believe they can. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzZPnoQwrzm
Both urge their oars, and fortune both supplies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoxsrFYM81k
And both perhaps had shar'd an equal prize; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAs7z1P2EePf
When to the seas Cloanthus holds his hands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoNZlhReDzg
And succor from the wat'ry pow'rs demands: 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6dCmEBRmMB
"Gods of the liquid realms, on which I row! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAz3lphnj4Kr
If, giv'n by you, the laurel bind my brow, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxxMscimRZk
Assist to make me guilty of my vow! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAg5BpOiG4ep
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0PKRiEMXRv
His offer'd entrails cast into the main, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6E17WHi9o6
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiyWLjiEVGo
Your grateful gift and my return shall own." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgc8xUeWxga
The choir of nymphs, and Phorcus, from below, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2sxxwf1ez6
With virgin Panopea, heard his vow; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxmNzVHfUOz
And old Portunus, with his breadth of hand, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzjkcEky4xI
Push'd on, and sped the galley to the land. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAK4Wwow7ku7
Swift as a shaft, or winged wind, she flies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANACAeyMf70ti
And, darting to the port, obtains the prize. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3DNIXeMIgF
The herald summons all, and then proclaims 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFFBHuhMdCt
Cloanthus conqu'ror of the naval games. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJOhNk737W5
The prince with laurel crowns the victor's head, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAl6cmZCfvkp
And three fat steers are to his vessel led, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAulACrT50vU
The ship's reward; with gen'rous wine beside, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMHh0zazBZZ
And sums of silver, which the crew divide. 890Please respect copyright.PENANALVFIsOBhf8
The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest; 890Please respect copyright.PENANACjVIm5BraD
The victor honor'd with a nobler vest, 890Please respect copyright.PENANApQsB163nsr
Where gold and purple strive in equal rows, 890Please respect copyright.PENANASxCBKqONRR
And needlework its happy cost bestows. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYLNu32khGi
There Ganymede is wrought with living art, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoorvzChOCV
Chasing thro' Ida's groves the trembling hart: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmyYq5PXNsm
Breathless he seems, yet eager to pursue; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYGy6ZR9lul
When from aloft descends, in open view, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA28bVDxl2bk
The bird of Jove, and, sousing on his prey, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIb6JUnKwzA
With crooked talons bears the boy away. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA60Xwrn2JnV
In vain, with lifted hands and gazing eyes, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAk15Uou1SS5
His guards behold him soaring thro' the skies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANASkHpy96EL3
And dogs pursue his flight with imitated cries. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMHa2BpncmF
Mnestheus the second victor was declar'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANANIx6krtfL5
And, summon'd there, the second prize he shard. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxDPZFBmF6Q
A coat of mail, brave Demoleus bore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANABV1tK2Tpgg
More brave Aeneas from his shoulders tore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoS25132rQu
In single combat on the Trojan shore: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAeNVRajM4xs
This was ordain'd for Mnestheus to possess; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnb12ppeL30
In war for his defense, for ornament in peace. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2690vLuvxM
Rich was the gift, and glorious to behold, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXdIjGsH2Yt
But yet so pond'rous with its plates of gold, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8vSP3iH3Ag
That scarce two servants could the weight sustain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0ClUtg7nME
Yet, loaded thus, Demoleus o'er the plain 890Please respect copyright.PENANAosDlPsNh8Q
Pursued and lightly seiz'd the Trojan train. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvHGvnqKtJk
The third, succeeding to the last reward, 890Please respect copyright.PENANASPL5SqlYAJ
Two goodly bowls of massy silver shar'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuqKpu6XRWk
With figures prominent, and richly wrought, 890Please respect copyright.PENANANM6s5kNy3p
And two brass caldrons from Dodona brought. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7ru8LMHse2
Thus all, rewarded by the hero's hands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAk8HRCSS59c
Their conqu'ring temples bound with purple bands; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFyUbs2rrBF
And now Sergesthus, clearing from the rock, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7hP7OzETFS
Brought back his galley shatter'd with the shock. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7foldQa4b
Forlorn she look'd, without an aiding oar, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAsyCOmDDVMX
And, houted by the vulgar, made to shore. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2qe59ORjcj
As when a snake, surpris'd upon the road, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdEB64uJIAX
Is crush'd athwart her body by the load 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgZal9zh1rN
Of heavy wheels; or with a mortal wound 890Please respect copyright.PENANABws5rDgXNI
Her belly bruis'd, and trodden to the ground: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuibxnXWyrF
In vain, with loosen'd curls, she crawls along; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Bah2i1zH
Yet, fierce above, she brandishes her tongue; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4ict4GCbTN
Glares with her eyes, and bristles with her scales; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXe08Ia92bc
But, groveling in the dust, her parts unsound she trails: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhYcOnCsh6A
So slowly to the port the Centaur tends, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5tJnqa9w0t
But, what she wants in oars, with sails amends. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAz5EOuMRxzS
Yet, for his galley sav'd, the grateful prince 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8MbrwQZqBV
Is pleas'd th' unhappy chief to recompense. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoiB9cpJA0g
Pholoe, the Cretan slave, rewards his care, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWKUBQFXD5Z
Beauteous herself, with lovely twins as fair. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyhMVsAk6N1
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4xqycm1vo
Into the neighb'ring plain, with mountains pent, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIsxdXcsNRR
Whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtupU8d2175
Full in the midst of this fair valley stood 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGxM9YMXdh4
A native theater, which, rising slow 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwHALXWxYvH
By just degrees, o'erlook'd the ground below. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqqQDgEuGCV
High on a sylvan throne the leader sate; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFjvmCU60ZK
A num'rous train attend in solemn state. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfkLrnqTtK7
Here those that in the rapid course delight, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAywWAe8fR3q
Desire of honor and the prize invite. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWFNsBT5acY
The rival runners without order stand; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYPVRyfsEo2
The Trojans mix'd with the Sicilian band. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAI7dMjYZTU3
First Nisus, with Euryalus, appears; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqlvwAmNEzq
Euryalus a boy of blooming years, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkkjbcUUvI6
With sprightly grace and equal beauty crown'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1NDKLbBRLa
Nisus, for friendship to the youth renown'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAf4dh5cdnP1
Diores next, of Priam's royal race, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPCvb6Nwm2X
Then Salius joined with Patron, took their place; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAm1abC1StLW
(But Patron in Arcadia had his birth, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8db6scS5ib
And Salius his from Arcananian earth;) 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5H7za7Yguu
Then two Sicilian youths- the names of these, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQV9lfXL6nB
Swift Helymus, and lovely Panopes: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ8PEcr6ZL
Both jolly huntsmen, both in forest bred, 890Please respect copyright.PENANALrkzo7dB0N
And owning old Acestes for their head; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdx5VoncxxQ
With sev'ral others of ignobler name, 890Please respect copyright.PENANArgunNPxlKL
Whom time has not deliver'd o'er to fame. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZsseKM7OXo
To these the hero thus his thoughts explain'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEOQPO5Yhu5
In words which gen'ral approbation gain'd: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOLvy2yfdJT
"One common largess is for all design'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbLOEdvFVQs
(The vanquish'd and the victor shall be join'd,) 890Please respect copyright.PENANAogNV3RxJmX
Two darts of polish'd steel and Gnosian wood, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHmzc7No2GX
A silver-studded ax, alike bestow'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3X6SwHdS5H
The foremost three have olive wreaths decreed: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEc2qPy2vib
The first of these obtains a stately steed, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAddjkXnmsAX
Adorn'd with trappings; and the next in fame, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbVzLnCjXmc
The quiver of an Amazonian dame, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAB5zQcIreC4
With feather'd Thracian arrows well supplied: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAX4nir9xDIq
A golden belt shall gird his manly side, 890Please respect copyright.PENANADvtJbsfwJa
Which with a sparkling diamond shall be tied. 890Please respect copyright.PENANARiHBdYmTED
The third this Grecian helmet shall content." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtENXsXfX4M
He said. To their appointed base they went; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAVt5vTS7DEn
With beating hearts th' expected sign receive, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3abre5X8XC
And, starting all at once, the barrier leave. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlZEuS8sK7S
Spread out, as on the winged winds, they flew, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAm8ql6sQKTj
And seiz'd the distant goal with greedy view. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4gY28D5oCJ
Shot from the crowd, swift Nisus all o'erpass'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmxNLJclEvV
Nor storms, nor thunder, equal half his haste. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA97d8vU70NP
The next, but tho' the next, yet far disjoin'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAE8sSAddzfU
Came Salius, and Euryalus behind; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7xOdyQNyMF
Then Helymus, whom young Diores plied, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXSfEanhgPW
Step after step, and almost side by side, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkV9QUktzDe
His shoulders pressing; and, in longer space, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmQo9sKxmPX
Had won, or left at least a dubious race. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWBOatWsVil
Now, spent, the goal they almost reach at last, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdWecIscTX9
When eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHSWdzUZCB8
Slipp'd first, and, slipping, fell upon the plain, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZKAQEDa0Dy
Soak'd with the blood of oxen newly slain. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWinwGSZFvp
The careless victor had not mark'd his way; 890Please respect copyright.PENANACgoGRWROVZ
But, treading where the treach'rous puddle lay, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhADC0wGCI3
His heels flew up; and on the grassy floor 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZoNP6ozNYV
He fell, besmear'd with filth and holy gore. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhpgbkxlAnn
Not mindless then, Euryalus, of thee, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfFab8njZAo
Nor of the sacred bonds of amity, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKR3GfxOrpB
He strove th' immediate rival's hope to cross, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwSTlEDCpne
And caught the foot of Salius as he rose. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9GQ7r7Baep
So Salius lay extended on the plain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANADpcnyd5kYm
Euryalus springs out, the prize to gain, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAot5bJff4n1
And leaves the crowd: applauding peals attend 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHOlvFmSuZR
The victor to the goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Yb9pZdad
Next Helymus; and then Diores came, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXweDJfX3ML
By two misfortunes made the third in fame. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAI1vmVVH2EL
But Salius enters, and, exclaiming loud 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmIKJo56Yiq
For justice, deafens and disturbs the crowd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwexyqJV1S4
Urges his cause may in the court be heard; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAcIlCwwM1Zo
And pleads the prize is wrongfully conferr'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7kI4SLZlcG
But favor for Euryalus appears; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbRHbO8JkN8
His blooming beauty, with his tender tears, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOBYVXd18SQ
Had brib'd the judges for the promis'd prize. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAAlm6bkrysk
Besides, Diores fills the court with cries, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdUTz5G0JDE
Who vainly reaches at the last reward, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA85B39MaQzn
If the first palm on Salius be conferr'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAX6HzzZQMrm
Then thus the prince: "Let no disputes arise: 890Please respect copyright.PENANADnxSJUzfjp
Where fortune plac'd it, I award the prize. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMHKfW2c4dk
But fortune's errors give me leave to mend, 890Please respect copyright.PENANATLjeyFPOhg
At least to pity my deserving friend." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbeSxboAXF4
He said, and, from among the spoils, he draws 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4mvj6luk0n
(Pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws) 890Please respect copyright.PENANAeDhzm8MC22
A lion's hide: to Salius this he gives. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5NB7iDZAjZ
Nisus with envy sees the gift, and grieves. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIscRCRJb6W
"If such rewards to vanquish'd men are due." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAaKSpCytyen
He said, "and falling is to rise by you, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQxXPHhOwss
What prize may Nisus from your bounty claim, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlgzSaCBzZj
Who merited the first rewards and fame? 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuCsf0zunCr
In falling, both an equal fortune tried; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZPobvwD0bQ
Would fortune for my fall so well provide!" 890Please respect copyright.PENANAObVrVLjmwl
With this he pointed to his face, and show'd 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMeCVORRWDe
His hand and all his habit smear'd with blood. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAt5I2K4QhRd
Th' indulgent father of the people smil'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5BZOm3k1jL
And caus'd to be produc'd an ample shield, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkBV1iXsAWz
Of wondrous art, by Didymaon wrought, 890Please respect copyright.PENANALVUrGHhrgj
Long since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nmf8a4Gao
This giv'n to Nisus, he divides the rest, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8YSzDFO6Pb
And equal justice in his gifts express'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAu1m6afSOpM
The race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5xd9iihXvx
Once more the princes bespeaks th' attentive crowd: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAaqi8ElvfCu
"If there he here whose dauntless courage dare 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIJGpmyGBOr
In gauntlet-fight, with limbs and body bare, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAAG7jzcDHUI
His opposite sustain in open view, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAchYgGzfhoi
Stand forth the champion, and the games renew. 890Please respect copyright.PENANACNt22tneGo
Two prizes I propose, and thus divide: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmEXWOMH9lb
A bull with gilded horns, and fillets tied, 890Please respect copyright.PENANABaK84CzOL0
Shall be the portion of the conqu'ring chief; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtlAlQFOxYK
A sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtzQMSDBFWW
Then haughty Dares in the lists appears; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAE4GdgRcY4J
Stalking he strides, his head erected bears: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQCHBXcx4al
His nervous arms the weighty gauntlet wield, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAISGRmN2fbU
And loud applauses echo thro' the field. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbcsclJbgO0
Dares alone in combat us'd to stand 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzM3JeaRMzt
The match of mighty Paris, hand to hand; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAskyYQqKsAQ
The same, at Hector's fun'rals, undertook 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzsQdfHAvka
Gigantic Butes, of th' Amycian stock, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdVZQMMky9Q
And, by the stroke of his resistless hand, 890Please respect copyright.PENANALjgHTDhiKb
Stretch'd the vast bulk upon the yellow sand. 890Please respect copyright.PENANATLkF5fOqh2
Such Dares was; and such he strode along, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxohbSgyMLb
And drew the wonder of the gazing throng. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqxsmR7EuAd
His brawny back and ample breast he shows, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAul28l1hMnb
His lifted arms around his head he throws, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIqkGaTYvGD
And deals in whistling air his empty blows. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKh37IrTSt8
His match is sought; but, thro' the trembling band, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAE4200eclLm
Not one dares answer to the proud demand. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMuwba3X3H6
Presuming of his force, with sparkling eyes 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ7NdQjqUq
Already he devours the promis'd prize. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA26Zyk4kPMH
He claims the bull with awless insolence, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3fKaxV1zD9
And having seiz'd his horns, accosts the prince: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3huzuCZEZ
"If none my matchless valor dares oppose, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXlgQXwMWeQ
How long shall Dares wait his dastard foes? 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIZYP03Mc6R
Permit me, chief, permit without delay, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3S8saAedtL
To lead this uncontended gift away." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbe1Cb9oYxF
The crowd assents, and with redoubled cries 890Please respect copyright.PENANA16Xt6T2rKO
For the proud challenger demands the prize. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQOEanvphYn
Acestes, fir'd with just disdain, to see 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUtXEw2vqbh
The palm usurp'd without a victory, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkm6gVGWAnW
Reproach'd Entellus thus, who sate beside, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZc09azQC1h
And heard and saw, unmov'd, the Trojan's pride: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIpYsNwXkK8
"Once, but in vain, a champion of renown, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiUVJ5wBQJj
So tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyo8DL4BDgD
A prize in triumph borne before your sight, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnVtmQa8Xt6
And shun, for fear, the danger of the fight? 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMUughZxnhd
Where is our Eryx now, the boasted name, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnZgB0ees6l
The god who taught your thund'ring arm the game? 890Please respect copyright.PENANATjthrZbdZ0
Where now your baffled honor? Where the spoil 890Please respect copyright.PENANA359SEBqegG
That fill'd your house, and fame that fill'd our isle?" 890Please respect copyright.PENANAD7NTgWRiNr
Entellus, thus: "My soul is still the same, 890Please respect copyright.PENANALr6f15fSyR
Unmov'd with fear, and mov'd with martial fame; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiU3E6NUPG0
But my chill blood is curdled in my veins, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAf6XyO85QHf
And scarce the shadow of a man remains. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdmP3pmVZ4p
O could I turn to that fair prime again, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZXiZVwNpk
That prime of which this boaster is so vain, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbBFC67r1Ps
The brave, who this decrepid age defies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgbxJXv1muS
Should feel my force, without the promis'd prize." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIa6dSScu2W
He said; and, rising at the word, he threw 890Please respect copyright.PENANApqMlT8oJL9
Two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8H6oXsNwbG
Gauntlets which Eryx wont in fight to wield, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9wMGj75HLl
And sheathe his hands with in the listed field. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAVEyJ2wPNqX
With fear and wonder seiz'd, the crowd beholds 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0m8lSaMgBj
The gloves of death, with sev'n distinguish'd folds 890Please respect copyright.PENANAsDXJ2loF3j
Of tough bull hides; the space within is spread 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOb1dxbp9pq
With iron, or with loads of heavy lead: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAy5DLcNgFYG
Dares himself was daunted at the sight, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhISW0BQw3G
Renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd to fight. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEA2h5i6Ch2
Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMbZUqMJiSS
And pois'd the pond'rous engines in his hands. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlCBTH32Xfn
"What had your wonder," said Entellus, "been, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnn38zxpJKz
Had you the gauntlets of Alcides seen, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAsBsPWerFHN
Or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green! 890Please respect copyright.PENANApw1Q9uE1B5
These which I bear your brother Eryx bore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZGV4FIlrG
Still mark'd with batter'd brains and mingled gore. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAisZ3izWGjz
With these he long sustain'd th' Herculean arm; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMEBXzyhFGZ
And these I wielded while my blood was warm, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIk9Zg1wQw9
This languish'd frame while better spirits fed, 890Please respect copyright.PENANApjqhQU1Vx6
Ere age unstrung my nerves, or time o'ersnow'd my head. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAaJcwRs1Y2u
But if the challenger these arms refuse, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5D2TDJZBr3
And cannot wield their weight, or dare not use; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAai7HqDH4gs
If great Aeneas and Acestes join 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2NjZvruAbP
In his request, these gauntlets I resign; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAczYBvEnAlM
Let us with equal arms perform the fight, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkZUAZz1S2u
And let him leave to fear, since I resign my right." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFf5ji8fkOO
This said, Entellus for the strife prepares; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAcJU6KggO1R
Stripp'd of his quilted coat, his body bares; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6sdKeF9U3o
Compos'd of mighty bones and brawn he stands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZCswsShKFl
A goodly tow'ring object on the sands. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdn7HfZpviv
Then just Aeneas equal arms supplied, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPIQwvnSK3a
Which round their shoulders to their wrists they tied. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2J4AV2lzS
Both on the tiptoe stand, at full extent, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAS0RLvRJtlD
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkk9X1kV587
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar; 890Please respect copyright.PENANASkzqD5D3J3
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0kdvolwYXw
One on his youth and pliant limbs relies; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAcSGE33jHML
One on his sinews and his giant size. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAd908lWujpz
The last is stiff with age, his motion slow; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMMTj5o5pwe
He heaves for breath, he staggers to and fro, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkkrp0K1TPF
And clouds of issuing smoke his nostrils loudly blow. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfb89A1ZoL6
Yet equal in success, they ward, they strike; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA49OArHnxiG
Their ways are diff'rent, but their art alike. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZimTcuCCzE
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5vUab7klAj
Their hollow sides the rattling thumps resound. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfbuzOb9o0P
A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAeTh5On4Gqf
And errs about their temples, ears, and eyes. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdWplond3zP
Nor always errs; for oft the gauntlet draws 890Please respect copyright.PENANApEza2oFUpe
A sweeping stroke along the crackling jaws. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAA9pHt4L0u6
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAo0QzWseYGd
But with his warping body wards the wound. 890Please respect copyright.PENANATNgZau2gPo
His hand and watchful eye keep even pace; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlQldXAehyv
While Dares traverses and shifts his place, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlc9M2iCUi1
And, like a captain who beleaguers round 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEXeSOxoMX7
Some strong-built castle on a rising ground, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqoaC9jOJE4
Views all th' approaches with observing eyes: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYN5th65DtZ
This and that other part in vain he tries, 890Please respect copyright.PENANABMjAmNI03y
And more on industry than force relies. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAY9Fv2CK01f
With hands on high, Entellus threats the foe; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIhWDchUrZd
But Dares watch'd the motion from below, 890Please respect copyright.PENANApIHQbn2vLq
And slipp'd aside, and shunn'd the long descending blow. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoUyr9EgPar
Entellus wastes his forces on the wind, 890Please respect copyright.PENANArbJBPiYuSI
And, thus deluded of the stroke design'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyHfBVMYIUR
Headlong and heavy fell; his ample breast 890Please respect copyright.PENANAC0Y3hoSpuQ
And weighty limbs his ancient mother press'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAV1DthV6QBv
So falls a hollow pine, that long had stood 890Please respect copyright.PENANAm1wYsQ1YTx
On Ida's height, or Erymanthus' wood, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2BS6Cjvp59
Torn from the roots. The diff'ring nations rise, 890Please respect copyright.PENANADZHfnXJ8PI
And shouts and mingled murmurs rend the skies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKErZJJUpdH
Acestus runs with eager haste, to raise 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoDYOCizDpN
The fall'n companion of his youthful days. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFXTkrnvvpn
Dauntless he rose, and to the fight return'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwhs4ADqaTx
With shame his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury burn'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANANKv4tSDr3m
Disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAX2GeIHEWGT
And with redoubled force his foe he press'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5XbQnABU74
He lays on load with either hand, amain, 890Please respect copyright.PENANADIYBH6cjPc
And headlong drives the Trojan o'er the plain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAm5S897Yivy
Nor stops, nor stays; nor rest nor breath allows; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAC2v2ey2PIw
But storms of strokes descend about his brows, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUMtEO17JHu
A rattling tempest, and a hail of blows. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXRDtltKGm2
But now the prince, who saw the wild increase 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1GYDzU4Kyv
Of wounds, commands the combatants to cease, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHLf6UsTHgU
And bounds Entellus' wrath, and bids the peace. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA042ttcxPEX
First to the Trojan, spent with toil, he came, 890Please respect copyright.PENANANa25SprlOV
And sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAVU167OmehB
"What fury seiz'd my friend? The gods," said he, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAESSzxpoKEE
"To him propitious, and averse to thee, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlduf9cX62g
Have giv'n his arm superior force to thine. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIEZ9GI1Zow
'T is madness to contend with strength divine." 890Please respect copyright.PENANARCqUJWumYL
The gauntlet fight thus ended, from the shore 890Please respect copyright.PENANAONjhthODCi
His faithful friends unhappy Dares bore: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqjdTDEAAXh
His mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhBAUcVgc4z
And pounded teeth came rushing with his blood. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3DYTmC3BJm
Faintly he stagger'd thro' the hissing throng, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4hGE5vJOuY
And hung his head, and trail'd his legs along. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUbpJvg1pQ0
The sword and casque are carried by his train; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnpTPgoZgg3
But with his foe the palm and ox remain. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7A0OdctOwG
The champion, then, before Aeneas came, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvdZG8A6FC0
Proud of his prize, but prouder of his fame: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMUG3NYz8Cb
"O goddess-born, and you, Dardanian host, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAk1KR5CRmC4
Mark with attention, and forgive my boast; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAaEbWLrhQKV
Learn what I was, by what remains; and know 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxaM3zNVv1j
From what impending fate you sav'd my foe." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhjCsfKH0wX
Sternly he spoke, and then confronts the bull; 890Please respect copyright.PENANARG11C2crSC
And, on his ample forehead aiming full, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4D0wZv7ntM
The deadly stroke, descending, pierc'd the skull. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYV5q7reL7F
Down drops the beast, nor needs a second wound, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxEWMZsJN86
But sprawls in pangs of death, and spurns the ground. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA14jzkFPzfX
Then, thus: "In Dares' stead I offer this. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA48VjbCaPHY
Eryx, accept a nobler sacrifice; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWzju3ooLbO
Take the last gift my wither'd arms can yield: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiDX8ih3rQG
Thy gauntlets I resign, and here renounce the field." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJFzKPpd47Y
This done, Aeneas orders, for the close, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAj9JYZAIi2a
The strife of archers with contending bows. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjqb0n8uaGR
The mast Sergesthus' shatter'd galley bore 890Please respect copyright.PENANAs8vyxFgKqn
With his own hands he raises on the shore. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAchCJ9bHoqZ
A flutt'ring dove upon the top they tie, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAt2zQBE7WMB
The living mark at which their arrows fly. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzPYCigSMKT
The rival archers in a line advance, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdEllkND3Go
Their turn of shooting to receive from chance. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuWOYu2iY23
A helmet holds their names; the lots are drawn: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFxUWMw7PQz
On the first scroll was read Hippocoon. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0fqHVXhtmz
The people shout. Upon the next was found 890Please respect copyright.PENANAo6EBgLtuVP
Young Mnestheus, late with naval honors crown'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANADDUKCpR1mW
The third contain'd Eurytion's noble name, 890Please respect copyright.PENANALKhlnoKvKi
Thy brother, Pandarus, and next in fame, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAAWILkgJgLk
Whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuJTyFctGUt
And send among the Greeks a feather'd wound. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXLppa7phWD
Acestes in the bottom last remain'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA76EkVYVK6p
Whom not his age from youthful sports restrain'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANArPr3pQL4WA
Soon all with vigor bend their trusty bows, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9w3NeQwSv5
And from the quiver each his arrow chose. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGeRukcNoum
Hippocoon's was the first: with forceful sway 890Please respect copyright.PENANAl6e4HGFKSS
It flew, and, whizzing, cut the liquid way. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfMAZj6R6oN
Fix'd in the mast the feather'd weapon stands: 890Please respect copyright.PENANATNMv9FJDr9
The fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiijPE1TzJ6
And the tree trembled, and the shouting cries 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkNzznY6m9E
Of the pleas'd people rend the vaulted skies. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQXAlJsiWjn
Then Mnestheus to the head his arrow drove, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdY1N3mmpR0
With lifted eyes, and took his aim above, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJCdpG2edX0
But made a glancing shot, and missed the dove; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqJSIUreqeB
Yet miss'd so narrow, that he cut the cord 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9mX8y5r5eY
Which fasten'd by the foot the flitting bird. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMv84JbKlYZ
The captive thus releas'd, away she flies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANATkcE3cDMme
And beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAupQ6SS93Hg
His bow already bent, Eurytion stood; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAf8oMjymW1M
And, having first invok'd his brother god, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAG0LYZScbmb
His winged shaft with eager haste he sped. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3f7Aaf9JgN
The fatal message reach'd her as she fled: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAsr1Mo9oriT
She leaves her life aloft; she strikes the ground, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFkuPfkmpCM
And renders back the weapon in the wound. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMJKCYMOqf7
Acestes, grudging at his lot, remains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOUnYNTvTrn
Without a prize to gratify his pains. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiYIl4hpTPY
Yet, shooting upward, sends his shaft, to show 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7NAQPtz6yY
An archer's art, and boast his twanging bow. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAM3ssIOpMpN
The feather'd arrow gave a dire portent, 890Please respect copyright.PENANATWMfUAfNaK
And latter augurs judge from this event. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ76O89nbW
Chaf'd by the speed, it fir'd; and, as it flew, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAipN4Gw8Am7
A trail of following flames ascending drew: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuzRqpKeNeH
Kindling they mount, and mark the shiny way; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfUfflTWMSG
Across the skies as falling meteors play, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAehnA1aPTJU
And vanish into wind, or in a blaze decay. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAawCRbDkyYT
The Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgmBC643VGO
And, trembling, turn their wonder into pray'r. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtmvVIJvJec
The Dardan prince put on a smiling face, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAI1kDxocXz0
And strain'd Acestes with a close embrace; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3ednNobFxO
Then, hon'ring him with gifts above the rest, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAaTGcUkTnWm
Turn'd the bad omen, nor his fears confess'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOC5V1rrXZu
"The gods," said he, "this miracle have wrought, 890Please respect copyright.PENANApfk0HZldeL
And order'd you the prize without the lot. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfeTVePANLe
Accept this goblet, rough with figur'd gold, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAl5PzuQLNsy
Which Thracian Cisseus gave my sire of old: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAviLeUsLAF9
This pledge of ancient amity receive, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAq7bX1DsROV
Which to my second sire I justly give." 890Please respect copyright.PENANACezROX71x1
He said, and, with the trumpets' cheerful sound, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAO7DhYSJOM2
Proclaim'd him victor, and with laurel-crown'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZlkcyCaCZ
Nor good Eurytion envied him the prize, 890Please respect copyright.PENANALieiUkw5zs
Tho' he transfix'd the pigeon in the skies. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8UfMopNT4n
Who cut the line, with second gifts was grac'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANApGtfJYVZ0S
The third was his whose arrow pierc'd the mast. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAw7TJ2cVuGP
The chief, before the games were wholly done, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyFFVOk6UXt
Call'd Periphantes, tutor to his son, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmQEk2vuDPN
And whisper'd thus: "With speed Ascanius find; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5CUByeCEmu
And, if his childish troop be ready join'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGespH2UuhO
On horseback let him grace his grandsire's day, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXKTn2svbJw
And lead his equals arm'd in just array." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhGn6xa8zut
He said; and, calling out, the cirque he clears. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgDmardQg5b
The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. 890Please respect copyright.PENANABW9DDprdFi
And now the noble youths, of form divine, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAH2LPnJjXXS
Advance before their fathers, in a line; 890Please respect copyright.PENANApOSxRNo7u3
The riders grace the steeds; the steeds with glory shine. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3yZ2xU3zZr
Thus marching on in military pride, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAacvf6UDvPB
Shouts of applause resound from side to side. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFTDeN6ChTQ
Their casques adorn'd with laurel wreaths they wear, 890Please respect copyright.PENANANxOis5i2D5
Each brandishing aloft a cornel spear. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXljFUrXdxd
Some at their backs their gilded quivers bore; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwb9ENjmZeY
Their chains of burnish'd gold hung down before. 890Please respect copyright.PENANApqBFRGDjXx
Three graceful troops they form'd upon the green; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9NsJ4STbJ4
Three graceful leaders at their head were seen; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ih7eFKzm7
Twelve follow'd ev'ry chief, and left a space between. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAY2wUsn6LE6
The first young Priam led; a lovely boy, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfV1YgTgORx
Whose grandsire was th' unhappy king of Troy; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvvYKtoT4ak
His race in after times was known to fame, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAahn1M41Vwp
New honors adding to the Latian name; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxq6TLDbiv0
And well the royal boy his Thracian steed became. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6yU3tiT1hT
White were the fetlocks of his feet before, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfPVjpE6s7C
And on his front a snowy star he bore. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJtCJT328B4
Then beauteous Atys, with Iulus bred, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4ryxrWTWSs
Of equal age, the second squadron led. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgwXgbKlniH
The last in order, but the first in place, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdW7stUEFI0
First in the lovely features of his face, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAm4f7nwKnDh
Rode fair Ascanius on a fiery steed, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqlnPZfr8Ld
Queen Dido's gift, and of the Tyrian breed. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAknmwfgWMb8
Sure coursers for the rest the king ordains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5x0tV2nQNJ
With golden bits adorn'd, and purple reins. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZdwSZwMctQ
The pleas'd spectators peals of shouts renew, 890Please respect copyright.PENANABGafJyGAmF
And all the parents in the children view; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKxAN8rORD6
Their make, their motions, and their sprightly grace, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZtRJNPptw2
And hopes and fears alternate in their face. 890Please respect copyright.PENANArWvkCRXHt0
Th' unfledg'd commanders and their martial train 890Please respect copyright.PENANAc4ZXGBJxZ3
First make the circuit of the sandy plain 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtjHRdAFJTL
Around their sires, and, at th' appointed sign, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8s8ioehadg
Drawn up in beauteous order, form a line. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xcgv9UQLp
The second signal sounds, the troop divides 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlf01xoQt2R
In three distinguish'd parts, with three distinguish'd guides 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUDq2Yz9BwC
Again they close, and once again disjoin; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKnBrgUPnz1
In troop to troop oppos'd, and line to line. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7d7BaWtPsi
They meet; they wheel; they throw their darts afar 890Please respect copyright.PENANARXfzyo6oC9
With harmless rage and well-dissembled war. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbmGKBxEr42
Then in a round the mingled bodies run: 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6adHB5y1iX
Flying they follow, and pursuing shun; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAk4BHRzp58f
Broken, they break; and, rallying, they renew 890Please respect copyright.PENANAARhAKm3hIY
In other forms the military shew. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEO5yvUmz3x
At last, in order, undiscern'd they join, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKoFNswgNQg
And march together in a friendly line. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4LlEmHnAUa
And, as the Cretan labyrinth of old, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAl6E9RDmDtr
With wand'ring ways and many a winding fold, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vkj7ES9Sc
Involv'd the weary feet, without redress, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1FWwFgYDC5
In a round error, which denied recess; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAt7bka9xEnV
So fought the Trojan boys in warlike play, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAawg6OthNXt
Turn'd and return'd, and still a diff'rent way. 890Please respect copyright.PENANACqt6MFToRw
Thus dolphins in the deep each other chase 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6q9GHZmTKw
In circles, when they swim around the wat'ry race. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqiFvYVOkE7
This game, these carousels, Ascanius taught; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAchoneGbmu6
And, building Alba, to the Latins brought; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZwzsbG41S
Shew'd what he learn'd: the Latin sires impart 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdTmPTP6YYN
To their succeeding sons the graceful art; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAI2ft79yl3g
From these imperial Rome receiv'd the game, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgdjSNCYrS6
Which Troy, the youths the Trojan troop, they name. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwX0c4IAe4L
Thus far the sacred sports they celebrate: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAM8IfCytEjt
But Fortune soon resum'd her ancient hate; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4m8RLpNecl
For, while they pay the dead his annual dues, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6LUsTWqYtR
Those envied rites Saturnian Juno views; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdDRnSZiM6d
And sends the goddess of the various bow, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwljITBfbTr
To try new methods of revenge below; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAROQJhHYLSn
Supplies the winds to wing her airy way, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAw2QhQl8k6C
Where in the port secure the navy lay. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlH1o0Pp71G
Swiftly fair Iris down her arch descends, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEVNOjBgsrn
And, undiscern'd, her fatal voyage ends. 890Please respect copyright.PENANALv9GqBMSBd
She saw the gath'ring crowd; and, gliding thence, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAll6YDMSDs1
The desart shore, and fleet without defense. 890Please respect copyright.PENANASfYMsDJm52
The Trojan matrons, on the sands alone, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9OSoek9DUr
With sighs and tears Anchises' death bemoan; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKxeky5hhnk
Then, turning to the sea their weeping eyes, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7Bl1a1uPi
Their pity to themselves renews their cries. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA1t3tL1z9Tl
"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPQlctGcZCw
For us to sail! what labors to sustain!" 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ3xFjpARX
All take the word, and, with a gen'ral groan, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9Brb99w9EU
Implore the gods for peace, and places of their own. 890Please respect copyright.PENANALzf2zIaA8C
The goddess, great in mischief, views their pains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqJlnPyS7Vf
And in a woman's form her heav'nly limbs restrains. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiNUHIW2ZRx
In face and shape old Beroe she became, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMQSIQPp2QO
Doryclus' wife, a venerable dame, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYQrFLZCqth
Once blest with riches, and a mother's name. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxFrxqolMOY
Thus chang'd, amidst the crying crowd she ran, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUohcH2PgtO
Mix'd with the matrons, and these words began: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHF75MWmOxU
"O wretched we, whom not the Grecian pow'r, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4SuiACt02H
Nor flames, destroy'd, in Troy's unhappy hour! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAY4eDi17wpn
O wretched we, reserv'd by cruel fate, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3w8XTHr7EN
Beyond the ruins of the sinking state! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUBeCY1atBF
Now sev'n revolving years are wholly run, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5RrSHrdv2f
Since this improsp'rous voyage we begun; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhKlrvScDBE
Since, toss'd from shores to shores, from lands to lands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzZtQM3WtMy
Inhospitable rocks and barren sands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQxAgVpB1lT
Wand'ring in exile thro' the stormy sea, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAg7Ur9xoT00
We search in vain for flying Italy. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAG8l8iJTfT5
Now cast by fortune on this kindred land, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmCR8heru6C
What should our rest and rising walls withstand, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkngCcJ8Mxo
Or hinder here to fix our banish'd band? 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0sGQfVK1xH
O country lost, and gods redeem'd in vain, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFDdRoGsmg6
If still in endless exile we remain! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEQZoWjWium
Shall we no more the Trojan walls renew, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAU9cMecxuDI
Or streams of some dissembled Simois view! 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9pwyiMYQc0
Haste, join with me, th' unhappy fleet consume! 890Please respect copyright.PENANABl3eJ9NRnW
Cassandra bids; and I declare her doom. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2gbL6uPLJk
In sleep I saw her; she supplied my hands 890Please respect copyright.PENANAksfQt48nit
(For this I more than dreamt) with flaming brands: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAnaBPnIhS2c
'With these,' said she, 'these wand'ring ships destroy: 890Please respect copyright.PENANArScmGoFTzf
These are your fatal seats, and this your Troy.' 890Please respect copyright.PENANAW3FhCq8ieQ
Time calls you now; the precious hour employ: 890Please respect copyright.PENANABDgCL95wKJ
Slack not the good presage, while Heav'n inspires 890Please respect copyright.PENANAukxYWZ1XuE
Our minds to dare, and gives the ready fires. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEJT7pSmm5N
See! Neptune's altars minister their brands: 890Please respect copyright.PENANANm1DeXrNYC
The god is pleas'd; the god supplies our hands." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfkQ9v7CzYU
Then from the pile a flaming fire she drew, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwh2K2COosT
And, toss'd in air, amidst the galleys threw. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA14FesG7SlO
Wrapp'd in amaze, the matrons wildly stare: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMPeIQGVz8y
Then Pyrgo, reverenc'd for her hoary hair, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgaUX8vVo13
Pyrgo, the nurse of Priam's num'rous race: 890Please respect copyright.PENANArxsdKlcFdh
"No Beroe this, tho' she belies her face! 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4LUjE2rEUw
What terrors from her frowning front arise! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlVtyhm4prg
Behold a goddess in her ardent eyes! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAe1PmFMEEJ8
What rays around her heav'nly face are seen! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgMMzrDmII8
Mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mien! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGdTubGxa0E
Beroe but now I left, whom, pin'd with pain, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdfDINxzKh3
Her age and anguish from these rites detain," 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzbqpXzMtND
She said. The matrons, seiz'd with new amaze, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAoI1gtMuPMb
Roll their malignant eyes, and on the navy gaze. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWse9l4wMkz
They fear, and hope, and neither part obey: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYN2T9o8bXT
They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ1o35ksdg
The goddess, having done her task below, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAna1cXfYdOw
Mounts up on equal wings, and bends her painted bow. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGuiaXwmx3r
Struck with the sight, and seiz'd with rage divine, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPDUsxoAyXF
The matrons prosecute their mad design: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAi28IoFgMo1
They shriek aloud; they snatch, with impious hands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvcYypsUutJ
The food of altars; fires and flaming brands. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmakhsGywox
Green boughs and saplings, mingled in their haste, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhHqN2nA0Qj
And smoking torches, on the ships they cast. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6U1nuCKCpo
The flame, unstopp'd at first, more fury gains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAp0qv4MEaCt
And Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAU1roMCO29Q
Triumphant to the painted sterns he soars, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUzIkIBgMbQ
And seizes, in this way, the banks and crackling oars. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwkjCepxipC
Eumelus was the first the news to bear, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8H1mnCQei6
While yet they crowd the rural theater. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAix0OjuhOeK
Then, what they hear, is witness'd by their eyes: 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0PcmdGwLwT
A storm of sparkles and of flames arise. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPhapCpbFwU
Ascanius took th' alarm, while yet he led 890Please respect copyright.PENANApQloZ3nKHC
His early warriors on his prancing steed, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9HzWYLz8mm
And, spurring on, his equals soon o'erpass'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAruI6cd7d5L
Nor could his frighted friends reclaim his haste. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWtOZJ5KpLA
Soon as the royal youth appear'd in view, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKeMES4Wb1a
He sent his voice before him as he flew: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHvseQXA3dX
"What madness moves you, matrons, to destroy 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJfg17QuOtm
The last remainders of unhappy Troy! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmoRE7YVosI
Not hostile fleets, but your own hopes, you burn, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQU1ay3Z3rU
And on your friends your fatal fury turn. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKtsAUwxUQJ
Behold your own Ascanius!" While he said, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdeYvULNGeD
He drew his glitt'ring helmet from his head, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQZS9MEoZ5E
In which the youths to sportful arms he led. 890Please respect copyright.PENANATPJGPH9gsn
By this, Aeneas and his train appear; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJB0SoKQu1S
And now the women, seiz'd with shame and fear, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9lq71ARtF5
Dispers'd, to woods and caverns take their flight, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjOcK3MBMb4
Abhor their actions, and avoid the light; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKpT39JAaae
Their friends acknowledge, and their error find, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxbQ95QXffu
And shake the goddess from their alter'd mind. 890Please respect copyright.PENANACYvO1fL38c
Not so the raging fires their fury cease, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAReqd0j26YR
But, lurking in the seams, with seeming peace, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQgfQ9ZABra
Work on their way amid the smold'ring tow, 890Please respect copyright.PENANASWk6J3l6s2
Sure in destruction, but in motion slow. 890Please respect copyright.PENANANhTkHRKe2o
The silent plague thro' the green timber eats, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAktHcDTyR6I
And vomits out a tardy flame by fits. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgATxqHB8Yg
Down to the keels, and upward to the sails, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKO1c6aQmux
The fire descends, or mounts, but still prevails; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAY9wrNXrYH1
Nor buckets pour'd, nor strength of human hand, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAv5KePIo9VI
Can the victorious element withstand. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWZLFHzM4oF
The pious hero rends his robe, and throws 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzDjkYnRtML
To heav'n his hands, and with his hands his vows. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkjBN5W1SMz
"O Jove," he cried, "if pray'rs can yet have place; 890Please respect copyright.PENANANjVnECHKI5
If thou abhorr'st not all the Dardan race; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwEty8r3Pnp
If any spark of pity still remain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA28tAB7g8rl
If gods are gods, and not invok'd in vain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQWhSvHVAXR
Yet spare the relics of the Trojan train! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwZIkANXvY2
Yet from the flames our burning vessels free, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXCdAi6IzU7
Or let thy fury fall alone on me! 890Please respect copyright.PENANAVwpXjehun1
At this devoted head thy thunder throw, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAICZ2iU5GTk
And send the willing sacrifice below!" 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvFvGp7Zf2Y
Scarce had he said, when southern storms arise: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwhApsOa0aK
From pole to pole the forky lightning flies; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAcsWa9tBtui
Loud rattling shakes the mountains and the plain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAup4KC5CXW9
Heav'n bellies downward, and descends in rain. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4P78dAG7yB
Whole sheets of water from the clouds are sent, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKAiJdgmKtr
Which, hissing thro' the planks, the flames prevent, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfAH09jK775
And stop the fiery pest. Four ships alone 890Please respect copyright.PENANAU8yMixLdRY
Burn to the waist, and for the fleet atone. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAacObrl2S2p
But doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAVSJDrlSTam
If he should still in Sicily reside, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGdUGqibdMp
Forgetful of his fates, or tempt the main, 890Please respect copyright.PENANARETZks1zuU
In hope the promis'd Italy to gain. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8pPLA6lUAG
Then Nautes, old and wise, to whom alone 890Please respect copyright.PENANATfVxJNiu6C
The will of Heav'n by Pallas was foreshown; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAp4KkdJEu6I
Vers'd in portents, experienc'd, and inspir'd 890Please respect copyright.PENANASgoaazNf0Y
To tell events, and what the fates requir'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5tM9uo4nvf
Thus while he stood, to neither part inclin'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHvVuzBX7Qb
With cheerful words reliev'd his lab'ring mind: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUgDeNfVyPa
"O goddess-born, resign'd in ev'ry state, 890Please respect copyright.PENANACSs9Li9pb5
With patience bear, with prudence push your fate. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA35W6SKxk7u
By suff'ring well, our Fortune we subdue; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdq2oBRfZfD
Fly when she frowns, and, when she calls, pursue. 890Please respect copyright.PENANADl3qXcTVG7
Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFmst8fhsHs
To him disclose the secrets of your mind: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAweUxHc8O5d
Trust in his hands your old and useless train; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3zgzjqqGCJ
Too num'rous for the ships which yet remain: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAAq9oBPvLkP
The feeble, old, indulgent of their ease, 890Please respect copyright.PENANACuHbfKX1WP
The dames who dread the dangers of the seas, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAe9cNFO0zpc
With all the dastard crew, who dare not stand 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJKvYZaInZm
The shock of battle with your foes by land. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ4TIiLJeX
Here you may build a common town for all, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqaX45rclgn
And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWtUqoqBrgS
The reasons, with his friend's experience join'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAk6BRYNYu0d
Encourag'd much, but more disturb'd his mind. 890Please respect copyright.PENANADHuumcFuVg
'T was dead of night; when to his slumb'ring eyes 890Please respect copyright.PENANAacr3IFdBhv
His father's shade descended from the skies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA32LXgAVxUU
And thus he spoke: "O more than vital breath, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJZkOGwY3nO
Lov'd while I liv'd, and dear ev'n after death; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAyAJ7cJupIu
O son, in various toils and troubles toss'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANATO9sxLApJi
The King of Heav'n employs my careful ghost 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlnOdwPrSF2
On his commands: the god, who sav'd from fire 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFdmxA59BQy
Your flaming fleet, and heard your just desire. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA361P2vP7gT
The wholesome counsel of your friend receive, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEg5H1L686I
And here the coward train and woman leave: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAenlCadCNCC
The chosen youth, and those who nobly dare, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZuxKvmruHQ
Transport, to tempt the dangers of the war. 890Please respect copyright.PENANALksaTsexaX
The stern Italians will their courage try; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFGQzEeZxug
Rough are their manners, and their minds are high. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAw0f5kTO1PU
But first to Pluto's palace you shall go, 890Please respect copyright.PENANALKYsQSZ8oT
And seek my shade among the blest below: 890Please respect copyright.PENANATTaQkyG308
For not with impious ghosts my soul remains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAx9XMRzhkzw
Nor suffers with the damn'd perpetual pains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqXCuLtgUbd
But breathes the living air of soft Elysian plains. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2i0wnjl32X
The chaste Sibylla shall your steps convey, 890Please respect copyright.PENANACucGxST6K0
And blood of offer'd victims free the way. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAocNwuHeIbx
There shall you know what realms the gods assign, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAazZBPNTYqV
And learn the fates and fortunes of your line. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5VypUa0nBd
But now, farewell! I vanish with the night, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtji1zgyMsW
And feel the blast of heav'n's approaching light." 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6FKHp4ocSP
He said, and mix'd with shades, and took his airy flight. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUM6CjgQO67
"Whither so fast?" the filial duty cried; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAf1XK04a8FN
"And why, ah why, the wish'd embrace denied?" 890Please respect copyright.PENANAk8uHJGQK7p
He said, and rose; as holy zeal inspires, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA69nqk8lVDs
He rakes hot embers, and renews the fires; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzK8gNC6X7n
His country gods and Vesta then adores 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgG2q2osLLu
With cakes and incense, and their aid implores. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAK55EVyTqe8
Next, for his friends and royal host he sent, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA053Jfecvcl
Reveal'd his vision, and the gods' intent, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAq9kL7bYGeK
With his own purpose. All, without delay, 890Please respect copyright.PENANANOWAnJ8GTN
The will of Jove, and his desires obey. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAu54cznEyZp
They list with women each degenerate name, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGTS4xT4fQm
Who dares not hazard life for future fame. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQP1EYffOEV
These they cashier: the brave remaining few, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAavxrtMSDte
Oars, banks, and cables, half consum'd, renew. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhes6Uj0IvP
The prince designs a city with the plow; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFA3zvNW0DR
The lots their sev'ral tenements allow. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPnKT5YAvQf
This part is nam'd from Ilium, that from Troy, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjRI0WppUbf
And the new king ascends the throne with joy; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAExKzV9tBbB
A chosen senate from the people draws; 890Please respect copyright.PENANACX8yDJB5R9
Appoints the judges, and ordains the laws. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYdJLPO9g3Q
Then, on the top of Eryx, they begin 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlP9SeNhXlI
A rising temple to the Paphian queen. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAb8qEe8EU7J
Anchises, last, is honor'd as a god; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXeAstQwwhn
A priest is added, annual gifts bestow'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjTKtc6yKL9
And groves are planted round his blest abode. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5EHG7UTvLd
Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjCPSVpZQLP
And fumes of incense in the fanes abound. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7swfE1ewt4
Then from the south arose a gentle breeze 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtlU4X8vHOc
That curl'd the smoothness of the glassy seas; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAb6cOFV0zkj
The rising winds a ruffling gale afford, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0Rib5vGQ9p
And call the merry mariners aboard. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAPWVPq091U9
Now loud laments along the shores resound, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAqTlDVlx2Ap
Of parting friends in close embraces bound. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIGjDqEAg16
The trembling women, the degenerate train, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2CqWefTmim
Who shunn'd the frightful dangers of the main, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAhQgztFMul9
Ev'n those desire to sail, and take their share 890Please respect copyright.PENANAM3p9uCHTfH
Of the rough passage and the promis'd war: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAELlRmfFJeu
Whom good Aeneas cheers, and recommends 890Please respect copyright.PENANAU6CqZZz6YF
To their new master's care his fearful friends. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAAwc6bpoJ37
On Eryx's altars three fat calves he lays; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAGOl5S0zJKU
A lamb new-fallen to the stormy seas; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAcMcljT0t9r
Then slips his haulsers, and his anchors weighs. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgrBWLXFsKL
High on the deck the godlike hero stands, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAv0q3wE2aed
With olive crown'd, a charger in his hands; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAq0CskRrCke
Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjcxNNMJ5iM
And pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. 890Please respect copyright.PENANACJQEMcygzN
Fresh gales arise; with equal strokes they vie, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAxp3nfGfDIr
And brush the buxom seas, and o'er the billows fly. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5l7CXu1ppa
Meantime the mother goddess, full of fears, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgAqrdhXJLw
To Neptune thus address'd, with tender tears: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdI2Q0x5KPZ
"The pride of Jove's imperious queen, the rage, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAt3y1qf0Ke5
The malice which no suff'rings can assuage, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIwhCUYS5fG
Compel me to these pray'rs; since neither fate, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAl6pHAAgBFn
Nor time, nor pity, can remove her hate: 890Please respect copyright.PENANANkAJNAhRps
Ev'n Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAcBi9suJio9
Still vanquish'd, yet she still renews the strife. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAVlYZQvglBy
As if 't were little to consume the town 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbdLJusWINO
Which aw'd the world, and wore th' imperial crown, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAplaNCwHtdb
She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAP1oomTFCtq
And gnaws, ev'n to the bones, the last remains. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAocg5X1x9od
Let her the causes of her hatred tell; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAdO3LSvfLjz
But you can witness its effects too well. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA27SocHjovc
You saw the storm she rais'd on Libyan floods, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkHdzxePNxN
That mix'd the mounting billows with the clouds; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAfT8LmEJNbY
When, bribing Aeolus, she shook the main, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAv9WTL2O2jm
And mov'd rebellion in your wat'ry reign. 890Please respect copyright.PENANALt2Q8G4Mla
With fury she possess'd the Dardan dames, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAsoH1Mv0XtY
To burn their fleet with execrable flames, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAjPPCHqWfiR
And forc'd Aeneas, when his ships were lost, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUy21FYZ3OU
To leave his foll'wers on a foreign coast. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2H0sXfhaJY
For what remains, your godhead I implore, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8N3JhvIMk
And trust my son to your protecting pow'r. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmh55teEbSW
If neither Jove's nor Fate's decree withstand, 890Please respect copyright.PENANArdJwYpcdVJ
Secure his passage to the Latian land." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEtvILkyCRt
Then thus the mighty Ruler of the Main: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzNtfm1T3Iz
"What may not Venus hope from Neptune's reign? 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvUVoC6Ka0I
My kingdom claims your birth; my late defense 890Please respect copyright.PENANABGBkr0EG1t
Of your indanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAcPIwZdASs7
Nor less by land than sea my deeds declare 890Please respect copyright.PENANARCZgq2uaMb
How much your lov'd Aeneas is my care. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAwFPZ2Bwe9r
Thee, Xanthus, and thee, Simois, I attest. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8iry5dooPr
Your Trojan troops when proud Achilles press'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8SvQd962P0
And drove before him headlong on the plain, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAk4TCGY9uaI
And dash'd against the walls the trembling train; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFBURA9THF5
When floods were fill'd with bodies of the slain; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEML5Mn1V3l
When crimson Xanthus, doubtful of his way, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA53j5c4WOA8
Stood up on ridges to behold the sea; 890Please respect copyright.PENANABiwhEyECYB
(New heaps came tumbling in, and chok'd his way;) 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvIuCy4Tp2H
When your Aeneas fought, but fought with odds 890Please respect copyright.PENANAvudIS7GFic
Of force unequal, and unequal gods; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA0LgHHE97C3
I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA4zLXQFgT6e
Sustain'd the vanquish'd, and secur'd his flight; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fn47ITpxQ
Ev'n then secur'd him, when I sought with joy 890Please respect copyright.PENANAsdB8XTMONY
The vow'd destruction of ungrateful Troy. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAp6xtXQeAFs
My will's the same: fair goddess, fear no more, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKbfIswl5z8
Your fleet shall safely gain the Latian shore; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAVFMKl7AMuP
Their lives are giv'n; one destin'd head alone 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5go8PC9Aus
Shall perish, and for multitudes atone." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAySbOOq7DkA
Thus having arm'd with hopes her anxious mind, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAFlZDEMXuq0
His finny team Saturnian Neptune join'd, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlA2IePdxZz
Then adds the foamy bridle to their jaws, 890Please respect copyright.PENANArrD5ocoXDZ
And to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQDfbd4bkFh
High on the waves his azure car he guides; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAU9dQXDCvmr
Its axles thunder, and the sea subsides, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA6eGGmk6Ocd
And the smooth ocean rolls her silent tides. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA7092MDAVkO
The tempests fly before their father's face, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAuRlHXiyAse
Trains of inferior gods his triumph grace, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZZBjJHojmD
And monster whales before their master play, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtrxkakNI1t
And choirs of Tritons crowd the wat'ry way. 890Please respect copyright.PENANArCyTdWomVe
The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide 890Please respect copyright.PENANAf3Vh8JoOsV
To right and left; the gods his better side 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgXTcOGeTxl
Inclose, and on the worse the Nymphs and Nereids ride. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJV8ckAHEBL
Now smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAKE4X6teUEo
Within the hero's mind his joys renew'd. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAh8ulO26JL6
He calls to raise the masts, the sheets display; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbLjCC6QI0r
The cheerful crew with diligence obey; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgLTE1XRnJp
They scud before the wind, and sail in open sea. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAUcV78QCaa4
Ahead of all the master pilot steers; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAXKSfzQQuhN
And, as he leads, the following navy veers. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAzZs5d1ML5e
The steeds of Night had travel'd half the sky, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAsNVLNNVatl
The drowsy rowers on their benches lie, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAZzgxi5LDyB
When the soft God of Sleep, with easy flight, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAofVHT0HCIk
Descends, and draws behind a trail of light. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEEpbiJIUUp
Thou, Palinurus, art his destin'd prey; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWK7jQAJzh5
To thee alone he takes his fatal way. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3BdEgKIWTL
Dire dreams to thee, and iron sleep, he bears; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9DQFeXDtYr
And, lighting on thy prow, the form of Phorbas wears. 890Please respect copyright.PENANABa9Wg1A6rE
Then thus the traitor god began his tale: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAiyAR6UO2JE
"The winds, my friend, inspire a pleasing gale; 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIKxnGmjC09
The ships, without thy care, securely sail. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAkn8fCD1ldP
Now steal an hour of sweet repose; and I 890Please respect copyright.PENANAmvQrTWEClV
Will take the rudder and thy room supply." 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlik0SKwM9m
To whom the yawning pilot, half asleep: 890Please respect copyright.PENANA8l3fQBBAXH
"Me dost thou bid to trust the treach'rous deep, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAj0rW90IsxP
The harlot smiles of her dissembling face, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAAcs8lQCbUr
And to her faith commit the Trojan race? 890Please respect copyright.PENANAY9HCY6oa7e
Shall I believe the Siren South again, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgMXnGaKJr0
And, oft betray'd, not know the monster main?" 890Please respect copyright.PENANAIupEURH0Cv
He said: his fasten'd hands the rudder keep, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAYTGMuRFiMX
And, fix'd on heav'n, his eyes repel invading sleep. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3tBwQXzd3W
The god was wroth, and at his temples threw 890Please respect copyright.PENANAMYGkDFUP35
A branch in Lethe dipp'd, and drunk with Stygian dew: 890Please respect copyright.PENANAucFPK3fKt1
The pilot, vanquish'd by the pow'r divine, 890Please respect copyright.PENANANsBIynRGUm
Soon clos'd his swimming eyes, and lay supine. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA3XqaWCs9yC
Scarce were his limbs extended at their length, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAank0jsfGSd
The god, insulting with superior strength, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAOZyDVYx6Nn
Fell heavy on him, plung'd him in the sea, 890Please respect copyright.PENANADXYJgiO5io
And, with the stern, the rudder tore away. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA79N1SxUkdV
Headlong he fell, and, struggling in the main, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAbWv3xruj3W
Cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAlxj5NIJKS5
The victor daemon mounts obscure in air, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAgRNBpMqnii
While the ship sails without the pilot's care. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAHAM9xYn6Ff
On Neptune's faith the floating fleet relies; 890Please respect copyright.PENANANwkxvjUiBR
But what the man forsook, the god supplies, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA2wK4GMcfg7
And o'er the dang'rous deep secure the navy flies; 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9La5eA7g6n
Glides by the Sirens' cliffs, a shelfy coast, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ21S6TBOX
Long infamous for ships and sailors lost, 890Please respect copyright.PENANA9CXebtB4AL
And white with bones. Th' impetuous ocean roars, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAJiZr3LDQLC
And rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. 890Please respect copyright.PENANA41hjk7HPxf
The watchful hero felt the knocks, and found 890Please respect copyright.PENANAQqamuFQzQ9
The tossing vessel sail'd on shoaly ground. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAtLIbvQnB6H
Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself 890Please respect copyright.PENANA5Kauu8Den5
The helm, and steers aloof, and shuns the shelf. 890Please respect copyright.PENANAWsHn0yBz3k
Inly he griev'd, and, groaning from the breast, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAEggOsjejSV
Deplor'd his death; and thus his pain express'd: 890Please respect copyright.PENANApnd7PdqIKu
"For faith repos'd on seas, and on the flatt'ring sky, 890Please respect copyright.PENANAsYBseCCuQ4
Thy naked corpse is doom'd on shores unknown to lie." 890Please respect copyright.PENANADoIvP3JLAX
