Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3gE8m5N8Hz
Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA8jIx2weljd
Then, casting back his eyes, with dire amaze, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZedgOPqxl3
Sees on the Punic shore the mounting blaze. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQxpn4r8Wwy
The cause unknown; yet his presaging mind 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEKA5ZgfTEl
The fate of Dido from the fire divin'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhX0C9swMaF
He knew the stormy souls of womankind, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARfCEGv4lit
What secret springs their eager passions move, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUnrQPiecuJ
How capable of death for injur'd love. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4jJ0hOPJeV
Dire auguries from hence the Trojans draw; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbAA4aosYwJ
Till neither fires nor shining shores they saw. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAy4kCjiHf5B
Now seas and skies their prospect only bound; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGhAZTDl0kk
An empty space above, a floating field around. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyJPVnZxrCu
But soon the heav'ns with shadows were o'erspread; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAob3qXGqWsf
A swelling cloud hung hov'ring o'er their head: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdGyjdppGRS
Livid it look'd, the threat'ning of a storm: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIIgbX8aewM
Then night and horror ocean's face deform. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUHEOEeklib
The pilot, Palinurus, cried aloud: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAET1Ot7ebCb
"What gusts of weather from that gath'ring cloud 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAx2q7J4rv0q
My thoughts presage! Ere yet the tempest roars, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAD4U93zwiym
Stand to your tackle, mates, and stretch your oars; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAo1T6BMMPy3
Contract your swelling sails, and luff to wind." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASEDQlVaRxT
The frighted crew perform the task assign'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApsSBPkpEDm
Then, to his fearless chief: "Not Heav'n," said he, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoEXLlsJc4z
"Tho' Jove himself should promise Italy, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMXXjccymbU
Can stem the torrent of this raging sea. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA72WuaMtR35
Mark how the shifting winds from west arise, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAimsyE9a8yI
And what collected night involves the skies! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAErSd4Rgd1w
Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfQowNz4Wze
Much less against the tempest force their way. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAF49Z5LUT8y
'T is fate diverts our course, and fate we must obey. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZv9az9x32s
Not far from hence, if I observ'd aright 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAU8u1BT8nqy
The southing of the stars, and polar light, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdbHzV5SJE6
Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAc5BylG7NIS
In safety we may reach with struggling oars." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOoW0Nx3ObD
Aeneas then replied: "Too sure I find 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0aNNKsZ27g
We strive in vain against the seas and wind: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbsoWroP0kD
Now shift your sails; what place can please me more 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYgBtkUFAJK
Than what you promise, the Sicilian shore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1gklFG4sMy
Whose hallow'd earth Anchises' bones contains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAI4bd1nZD3C
And where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns?" 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAscM4n4jvfg
The course resolv'd, before the western wind 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA8uyckLCKre
They scud amain, and make the port assign'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvW2PbNVELQ
Meantime Acestes, from a lofty stand, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwXDSLn9LYu
Beheld the fleet descending on the land; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADWOL2sfJL4
And, not unmindful of his ancient race, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA81hKHDClTP
Down from the cliff he ran with eager pace, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkby3DL2OS0
And held the hero in a strict embrace. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMSgtnE9WKz
Of a rough Libyan bear the spoils he wore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAsGeBju8PO
And either hand a pointed jav'lin bore. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnIX3Xz8iD2
His mother was a dame of Dardan blood; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApksg6NDpW7
His sire Crinisus, a Sicilian flood. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhWy5Xa1JVu
He welcomes his returning friends ashore 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAogFOxFuaii
With plenteous country cates and homely store. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbpBRjhvuj0
Now, when the following morn had chas'd away 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARL0yZ2JDix
The flying stars, and light restor'd the day, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIwMAUC4Ewb
Aeneas call'd the Trojan troops around, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATVDKTlIPi3
And thus bespoke them from a rising ground: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIPc8NSV3Em
"Offspring of heav'n, divine Dardanian race! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0b54bv393Y
The sun, revolving thro' th' ethereal space, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEKuz2v9KPX
The shining circle of the year has fill'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANdqt93Di33
Since first this isle my father's ashes held: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMgj2QtYlrH
And now the rising day renews the year; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjOokbMoC1f
A day for ever sad, for ever dear. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhy8V7F5q54
This would I celebrate with annual games, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAir4ATCN9OV
With gifts on altars pil'd, and holy flames, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcL19N0ovv7
Tho' banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA81OnB9HLk4
Caught on the Grecian seas, or hostile lands: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApkHYEur4EQ
But since this happy storm our fleet has driv'n 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAU93S9NG6at
(Not, as I deem, without the will of Heav'n) 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsjzS4xctWl
Upon these friendly shores and flow'ry plains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPwXCaIc1Ab
Which hide Anchises and his blest remains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXDF5H9RQJA
Let us with joy perform his honors due, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPMxKAsALzv
And pray for prosp'rous winds, our voyage to renew; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHBJFHRMCT8
Pray, that in towns and temples of our own, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlikYU7LBnN
The name of great Anchises may be known, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaf4SiA22SX
And yearly games may spread the gods' renown. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAl5WM0cHAyA
Our sports Acestes, of the Trojan race, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ5J8iOBkQ
With royal gifts ordain'd, is pleas'd to grace: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYRdHnUvRAn
Two steers on ev'ry ship the king bestows; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIzFKVCUoKN
His gods and ours shall share your equal vows. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1DRKxVIgNO
Besides, if, nine days hence, the rosy morn 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfJb5YwgSgl
Shall with unclouded light the skies adorn, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATE5Bzt76Nv
That day with solemn sports I mean to grace: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjyxS3DqlLU
Light galleys on the seas shall run a wat'ry race; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVG1y4ngoiz
Some shall in swiftness for the goal contend, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWP5T6CI3hG
And others try the twanging bow to bend; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA883BDbti43
The strong, with iron gauntlets arm'd, shall stand 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoSdXgal6cv
Oppos'd in combat on the yellow sand. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA87E1UBPoFv
Let all be present at the games prepar'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6SAnfIJeXl
And joyful victors wait the just reward. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzyey4Zodos
But now assist the rites, with garlands crown'd." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAa4zNUrbzy1
He said, and first his brows with myrtle bound. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcW4egk5a4o
Then Helymus, by his example led, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxFR3IvKhaK
And old Acestes, each adorn'd his head; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsdeReaLBfZ
Thus young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAANQZoQLurj
His temples tied, and all the Trojan race. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdGPkcBcmUH
Aeneas then advanc'd amidst the train, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9efolacC6M
By thousands follow'd thro' the flow'ry plain, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANJWSfwFEBo
To great Anchises' tomb; which when he found, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARu2LmDt7FT
He pour'd to Bacchus, on the hallow'd ground, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYqJstl09P4
Two bowls of sparkling wine, of milk two more, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbkiu3Nqte0
And two (from offer'd bulls) of purple gore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANsvJUPrxc3
With roses then the sepulcher he strow'd 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIBTlUabqZH
And thus his father's ghost bespoke aloud: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKWU9Xc4tQC
"Hail, O ye holy manes! hail again, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZwimfyT01W
Paternal ashes, now review'd in vain! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAj3Fm59igMq
The gods permitted not, that you, with me, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAG5qyAKVuR1
Should reach the promis'd shores of Italy, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAr1flbplNt7
Or Tiber's flood, what flood soe'er it be." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASxlGnglGec
Scarce had he finish'd, when, with speckled pride, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9cIk9Ttjg5
A serpent from the tomb began to glide; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeAlxS78iEW
His hugy bulk on sev'n high volumes roll'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFksWwwSFXF
Blue was his breadth of back, but streak'd with scaly gold: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjg255FgdJc
Thus riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA90YxgrA5sY
A rolling fire along, and singe the grass. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAe3gUrxNrFD
More various colors thro' his body run, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHVRjYTVgdQ
Than Iris when her bow imbibes the sun. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeQGZh1nnOY
Betwixt the rising altars, and around, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jr5SGA7Bp
The sacred monster shot along the ground; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYkuSDTJ17Q
With harmless play amidst the bowls he pass'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOjhLogrAhJ
And with his lolling tongue assay'd the taste: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFiSDmepGQz
Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAf5vjHZHNTU
Within the hollow tomb retir'd to rest. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiAAQ2Ykn47
The pious prince, surpris'd at what he view'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlZC36evW64
The fun'ral honors with more zeal renew'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAafbxxN3m72
Doubtful if this place's genius were, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACuy8MARqCw
Or guardian of his father's sepulcher. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqtWbMR18sS
Five sheep, according to the rites, he slew; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdAD5top8C0
As many swine, and steers of sable hue; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADKVtaGgmlI
New gen'rous wine he from the goblets pour'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJZSpSnnyvE
And call'd his father's ghost, from hell restor'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFyWGI5vSCZ
The glad attendants in long order come, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJBgOV7ANZn
Off'ring their gifts at great Anchises' tomb: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALCwfzbSkDO
Some add more oxen: some divide the spoil; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPvHQqoMEw1
Some place the chargers on the grassy soil; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAc0lLAcDt1W
Some blow the fires, and off entrails broil. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAePZoKgnXCE
Now came the day desir'd. The skies were bright 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFdHq6MyKiU
With rosy luster of the rising light: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA8pA8rLRc5L
The bord'ring people, rous'd by sounding fame 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3d5jofWcSh
Of Trojan feasts and great Acestes' name, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAow5JgKVtJe
The crowded shore with acclamations fill, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAssjsN0cOJP
Part to behold, and part to prove their skill. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjt5jfglfqb
And first the gifts in public view they place, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA49AM1Ui37w
Green laurel wreaths, and palm, the victors' grace: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7tbVndGAXE
Within the circle, arms and tripods lie, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAelmzJtLSq
Ingots of gold and silver, heap'd on high, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzWwV1Biigu
And vests embroider'd, of the Tyrian dye. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAQgP7KGGEA
The trumpet's clangor then the feast proclaims, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0gJiLp5cZI
And all prepare for their appointed games. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADSyQFXYA1F
Four galleys first, which equal rowers bear, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAc7cWeBTWCk
Advancing, in the wat'ry lists appear. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmRGVMVwceA
The speedy Dolphin, that outstrips the wind, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAI7vNo7r4BV
Bore Mnestheus, author of the Memmian kind: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6BXOhtXpU0
Gyas the vast Chimaera's bulk commands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA55UTo4L4qN
Which rising, like a tow'ring city stands; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2E7VTt4i9d
Three Trojans tug at ev'ry lab'ring oar; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyrXlgUqnzE
Three banks in three degrees the sailors bore; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAp6Nwoq8p0T
Beneath their sturdy strokes the billows roar. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcKdLyjBDKM
Sergesthus, who began the Sergian race, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA65tpsQmXs9
In the great Centaur took the leading place; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2ykhc8ZB4s
Cloanthus on the sea-green Scylla stood, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKdvb65s07q
From whom Cluentius draws his Trojan blood. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAd8gwwqRON7
Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA65v7Lz0hFS
There stands a rock: the raging billows roar 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAaCkv16ZEI
Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeICJB7Q7VF
Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1eoTSr9eqN
In peace below the gentle waters run; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAuZWzDRGpo7
The cormorants above lie basking in the sun. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXg6rZMAKJB
On this the hero fix'd an oak in sight, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIU1qr9Mdjm
The mark to guide the mariners aright. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1tGtwLxDKI
To bear with this, the seamen stretch their oars; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAB3rZPxCWXo
Then round the rock they steer, and seek the former shores. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7zDs07lHiN
The lots decide their place. Above the rest, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGjDNC5F7z8
Each leader shining in his Tyrian vest; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4BAREmRrsn
The common crew with wreaths of poplar boughs 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqYAZ20gl8Q
Their temples crown, and shade their sweaty brows: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALwLW146X4H
Besmear'd with oil, their naked shoulders shine. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACNXo7sahBD
All take their seats, and wait the sounding sign: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAc7vJX9PZ7r
They gripe their oars; and ev'ry panting breast 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4OgCE1WlR3
Is rais'd by turns with hope, by turns with fear depress'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZif5nr5MbZ
The clangor of the trumpet gives the sign; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkrtvmjL9sM
At once they start, advancing in a line: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlCBScghzmJ
With shouts the sailors rend the starry skies; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3TUhkuALgN
Lash'd with their oars, the smoky billows rise; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzVBEWpPobj
Sparkles the briny main, and the vex'd ocean fries. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATbzRmTYtxH
Exact in time, with equal strokes they row: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAW9oP7Cy6Tw
At once the brushing oars and brazen prow 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwn0hIcJOKB
Dash up the sandy waves, and ope the depths below. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYKTkmQc6et
Not fiery coursers, in a chariot race, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUE2giN06W7
Invade the field with half so swift a pace; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiBrp2WbWcp
Not the fierce driver with more fury lends 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5Na6gwKu7z
The sounding lash, and, ere the stroke descends, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3p4wsGn93f
Low to the wheels his pliant body bends. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2k9bmvyTCZ
The partial crowd their hopes and fears divide, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAh86ldcc8ij
And aid with eager shouts the favor'd side. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJQQKDt3Shy
Cries, murmurs, clamors, with a mixing sound, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPJNQWlzfPS
From woods to woods, from hills to hills rebound. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmq6D860gxJ
Amidst the loud applauses of the shore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAr2PiqS4iuv
Gyas outstripp'd the rest, and sprung before: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhO7Hd8GQq0
Cloanthus, better mann'd, pursued him fast, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgvKjIs9nUr
But his o'er-masted galley check'd his haste. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlimYs3NJPK
The Centaur and the Dolphin brush the brine 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeBscWyqMSU
With equal oars, advancing in a line; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAE5w0aRqC9c
And now the mighty Centaur seems to lead, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlCXNGe972Q
And now the speedy Dolphin gets ahead; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAh1NqFpwyF7
Now board to board the rival vessels row, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAg2wSiggiSH
The billows lave the skies, and ocean groans below. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAft3xBWr9jP
They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaD8lUiwUtq
In triumph rode, the victors of the main; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvyXCaIvbmL
But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot stand 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3ydUXOTX41
More close to shore, and skim along the sand- 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvC8WCgzgD1
"Let others bear to sea!" Menoetes heard; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAT5cyIpXv26
But secret shelves too cautiously he fear'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAO5MOGLDEN9
And, fearing, sought the deep; and still aloof he steer'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAo1LhwcNblu
With louder cries the captain call'd again: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtYxdAvMFYg
"Bear to the rocky shore, and shun the main." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAv759lJlgHA
He spoke, and, speaking, at his stern he saw 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4l1mRbiauc
The bold Cloanthus near the shelvings draw. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALP7KDH7Amg
Betwixt the mark and him the Scylla stood, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZq6qpVU3xR
And in a closer compass plow'd the flood. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArWYvvK7x9y
He pass'd the mark; and, wheeling, got before: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7FZ3tINqHW
Gyas blasphem'd the gods, devoutly swore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtue0QPcJFR
Cried out for anger, and his hair he tore. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABcMRw4n9pE
Mindless of others' lives (so high was grown 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzdXQX1YzSa
His rising rage) and careless of his own, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxBZwPPWZRv
The trembling dotard to the deck he drew; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARVhSX8tWUS
Then hoisted up, and overboard he threw: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKIV0mm8jQQ
This done, he seiz'd the helm; his fellows cheer'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYJYq3DLIfC
Turn'd short upon the shelfs, and madly steer'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHXwWpG4kM3
Hardly his head the plunging pilot rears, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAi8hy0bmyy5
Clogg'd with his clothes, and cumber'd with his years: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoEVOJFMTkt
Now dropping wet, he climbs the cliff with pain. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA27xLp3U7Hy
The crowd, that saw him fall and float again, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMROhYeKkTH
Shout from the distant shore; and loudly laugh'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAp2jPuATZ0R
To see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draught. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAo7P1ZQMeb5
The following Centaur, and the Dolphin's crew, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlxlz5YCUN3
Their vanish'd hopes of victory renew; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vil6PnS0u
While Gyas lags, they kindle in the race, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAARSYyoijbF
To reach the mark. Sergesthus takes the place; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAl2bpo0BCPQ
Mnestheus pursues; and while around they wind, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qwhu1wkTO
Comes up, not half his galley's length behind; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeSVz4orfP0
Then, on the deck, amidst his mates appear'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAt79dTM3Zao
And thus their drooping courage he cheer'd: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyWIMWHIxmF
"My friends, and Hector's followers heretofore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASlrq6o1aVl
Exert your vigor; tug the lab'ring oar; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA8CMyjO9byT
Stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAadnPBn3uwG
Whom from the flaming walls of Troy I drew. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAV97FPeUYFL
In this, our common int'rest, let me find 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJXSGWYJv61
That strength of hand, that courage of the mind, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqIAnvXoNvZ
As when you stemm'd the strong Malean flood, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAStYGNM2PrW
And o'er the Syrtes' broken billows row'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlB698LHMhV
I seek not now the foremost palm to gain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASAuzEPD7y8
Tho' yet- but, ah! that haughty wish is vain! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQVwi1AyIhH
Let those enjoy it whom the gods ordain. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAF9jK9pZ2hA
But to be last, the lags of all the race!- 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3JYkQjRblP
Redeem yourselves and me from that disgrace." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASq4QCN5PJU
Now, one and all, they tug amain; they row 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADPWFNUjLbt
At the full stretch, and shake the brazen prow. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqVgjTaXlDs
The sea beneath 'em sinks; their lab'ring sides 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4JR89FQkjG
Are swell'd, and sweat runs gutt'ring down in tides. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAX1iOgSMalS
Chance aids their daring with unhop'd success; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7GXEuc8piG
Sergesthus, eager with his beak to press 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA61cjaqCcVS
Betwixt the rival galley and the rock, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYDUN2HTbgQ
Shuts up th' unwieldly Centaur in the lock. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAooass3NFsY
The vessel struck; and, with the dreadful shock, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA64j3rnrQjq
Her oars she shiver'd, and her head she broke. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0xjiXAL4yn
The trembling rowers from their banks arise, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVwCZYrupZ3
And, anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdbMkyqsFbs
With iron poles they heave her off the shores, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADJuLGZ35Ko
And gather from the sea their floating oars. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeFRYHnw4xI
The crew of Mnestheus, with elated minds, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYsySVRsv8r
Urge their success, and call the willing winds; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABW7AEyWzBM
Then ply their oars, and cut their liquid way 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkYHsBGoP4E
In larger compass on the roomy sea. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5l9zCwOgwj
As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKkeKAiriiw
Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbUdUdxAa7O
The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmnek6JkJgF
And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlG6b01eU7v
At first she flutters; but at length she springs 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqgCbiaqg5V
To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUsMBH9ELWf
So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHVH14xobGj
And, flying with a force, that force assists his way. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxJTT0jTUXP
Sergesthus in the Centaur soon he pass'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAa5csptlYzF
Wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoTzkGSUZUX
In vain the victor he with cries implores, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAavcQHFmRe
And practices to row with shatter'd oars. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAT70vYnlWWg
Then Mnestheus bears with Gyas, and outflies: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHZvR6oBOmi
The ship, without a pilot, yields the prize. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcJGDlBzOvU
Unvanquish'd Scylla now alone remains; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxceOtBawbQ
Her he pursues, and all his vigor strains. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAOMEcf0auJ
Shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQfdJXG5hd7
Applauding Echo to the shouts replies; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAC2wCa00jZe
Shouts, wishes, and applause run rattling thro' the skies. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAC3e6oiQWf5
These clamors with disdain the Scylla heard, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXFTP6bTADr
Much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvYL0ebyCBu
Resolv'd to hold their own, they mend their pace, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcxwb0I4f3N
All obstinate to die, or gain the race. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEGYWcH9QyJ
Rais'd with success, the Dolphin swiftly ran; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1MqapBdtRV
For they can conquer, who believe they can. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQxwM72ScmI
Both urge their oars, and fortune both supplies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyHBuVlOFQo
And both perhaps had shar'd an equal prize; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhujtxhI4m3
When to the seas Cloanthus holds his hands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAITUK9TRczV
And succor from the wat'ry pow'rs demands: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwRlhLA6del
"Gods of the liquid realms, on which I row! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALmptzu3SJs
If, giv'n by you, the laurel bind my brow, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYzgV7v8BP6
Assist to make me guilty of my vow! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAX8yioOL1dz
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArNFMgonzeV
His offer'd entrails cast into the main, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANPHKEgdD4B
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1a6xFGRSfa
Your grateful gift and my return shall own." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGkQPtmMKUn
The choir of nymphs, and Phorcus, from below, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZgc099bTDM
With virgin Panopea, heard his vow; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOtcpVzZCtB
And old Portunus, with his breadth of hand, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkXDpB5OUfV
Push'd on, and sped the galley to the land. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9wUusQoo6A
Swift as a shaft, or winged wind, she flies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYoJPmSf8G6
And, darting to the port, obtains the prize. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqwIJYLLrPI
The herald summons all, and then proclaims 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAz6T5ExPqAk
Cloanthus conqu'ror of the naval games. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEWKgcSiIho
The prince with laurel crowns the victor's head, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAppZJyhBf4P
And three fat steers are to his vessel led, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKwQnHO1mjF
The ship's reward; with gen'rous wine beside, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAW298hm2khq
And sums of silver, which the crew divide. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJAa68RxRGC
The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqMYZmAIyYB
The victor honor'd with a nobler vest, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9MyXOJZTRx
Where gold and purple strive in equal rows, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAuPxxWrCgS1
And needlework its happy cost bestows. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKv1wwqReMv
There Ganymede is wrought with living art, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAV7OghX3NJT
Chasing thro' Ida's groves the trembling hart: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbTpbrQ6wiO
Breathless he seems, yet eager to pursue; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUwYAGSKJsB
When from aloft descends, in open view, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxomvXajgvj
The bird of Jove, and, sousing on his prey, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUsOldFWz0n
With crooked talons bears the boy away. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeYEah8EuOn
In vain, with lifted hands and gazing eyes, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgzc4G8yPk5
His guards behold him soaring thro' the skies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWVAnlF2KoT
And dogs pursue his flight with imitated cries. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHG3LPsVbsK
Mnestheus the second victor was declar'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeOjUl2qZj3
And, summon'd there, the second prize he shard. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbWp39jE67D
A coat of mail, brave Demoleus bore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnVGWlKL3Jq
More brave Aeneas from his shoulders tore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACW6AoYlndN
In single combat on the Trojan shore: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkeX7O1DWCw
This was ordain'd for Mnestheus to possess; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7tj6bXrpwR
In war for his defense, for ornament in peace. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAipL4N1jIby
Rich was the gift, and glorious to behold, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjCWDvuHdvp
But yet so pond'rous with its plates of gold, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsIRCJgHTCU
That scarce two servants could the weight sustain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUnjdJWEIbh
Yet, loaded thus, Demoleus o'er the plain 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmprMbVGRkC
Pursued and lightly seiz'd the Trojan train. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAU8xywc18sj
The third, succeeding to the last reward, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhJYmcVtY08
Two goodly bowls of massy silver shar'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbO0C6FPzsm
With figures prominent, and richly wrought, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhqZazrdywP
And two brass caldrons from Dodona brought. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEDskn9N236
Thus all, rewarded by the hero's hands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7yIXIMWY4
Their conqu'ring temples bound with purple bands; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoEvIniT6Kj
And now Sergesthus, clearing from the rock, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlUJYFmgcH3
Brought back his galley shatter'd with the shock. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPnHDguoDou
Forlorn she look'd, without an aiding oar, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArKhQ9scltm
And, houted by the vulgar, made to shore. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAy5tTSRowy2
As when a snake, surpris'd upon the road, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAclT1MU75yo
Is crush'd athwart her body by the load 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsA8L64f3Z6
Of heavy wheels; or with a mortal wound 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzyBDOaOTTs
Her belly bruis'd, and trodden to the ground: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVS5rpzoGAJ
In vain, with loosen'd curls, she crawls along; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQvvUK84Zj8
Yet, fierce above, she brandishes her tongue; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKrmTKuLlhS
Glares with her eyes, and bristles with her scales; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZsvhOFZ2Xh
But, groveling in the dust, her parts unsound she trails: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAG1Voc7fu9i
So slowly to the port the Centaur tends, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAubfgDXH7st
But, what she wants in oars, with sails amends. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACkEEKjniSw
Yet, for his galley sav'd, the grateful prince 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAq5ShFzlOPq
Is pleas'd th' unhappy chief to recompense. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAV5gZByvoKB
Pholoe, the Cretan slave, rewards his care, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUu7eq1ei9q
Beauteous herself, with lovely twins as fair. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALdq6KrNKrL
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALM2UNlKS6A
Into the neighb'ring plain, with mountains pent, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEpkUPf8u6s
Whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjP2jvfUUOY
Full in the midst of this fair valley stood 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQoTv0GNfjP
A native theater, which, rising slow 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAh6qlURohPC
By just degrees, o'erlook'd the ground below. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcf6lVkvI7e
High on a sylvan throne the leader sate; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFz9xkGnVYl
A num'rous train attend in solemn state. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4vnL3l1Hgq
Here those that in the rapid course delight, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jc1Sh3Ocs
Desire of honor and the prize invite. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wp3EOlbB0
The rival runners without order stand; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAG6SA5UD9jJ
The Trojans mix'd with the Sicilian band. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIA8R9ssRQ4
First Nisus, with Euryalus, appears; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANQuRIfqqCO
Euryalus a boy of blooming years, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArWDQr33v7o
With sprightly grace and equal beauty crown'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAN9BoEKuIXV
Nisus, for friendship to the youth renown'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYmZVnewlIC
Diores next, of Priam's royal race, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjPEhMKKzTo
Then Salius joined with Patron, took their place; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbZlHYr3RDU
(But Patron in Arcadia had his birth, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7yTquVjgni
And Salius his from Arcananian earth;) 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAd7v3HacrHK
Then two Sicilian youths- the names of these, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOjgI7ugeCI
Swift Helymus, and lovely Panopes: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9THhN2CU8I
Both jolly huntsmen, both in forest bred, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAol6cFUumKi
And owning old Acestes for their head; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwa6TYlua4K
With sev'ral others of ignobler name, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA73xI7n72Oq
Whom time has not deliver'd o'er to fame. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQltgUnHgeq
To these the hero thus his thoughts explain'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4GXMv0DqYq
In words which gen'ral approbation gain'd: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAacN4ZVWseZ
"One common largess is for all design'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFPb9TCjJuH
(The vanquish'd and the victor shall be join'd,) 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAD7AviM812Q
Two darts of polish'd steel and Gnosian wood, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0iZ6fYKHy6
A silver-studded ax, alike bestow'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgSXodQ0ouj
The foremost three have olive wreaths decreed: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPpkNAPML7r
The first of these obtains a stately steed, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHq7bwT4ubv
Adorn'd with trappings; and the next in fame, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6SCVwSCmF5
The quiver of an Amazonian dame, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnwMdmweSeC
With feather'd Thracian arrows well supplied: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQF1JIQ21Jx
A golden belt shall gird his manly side, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATXkjkf5FvD
Which with a sparkling diamond shall be tied. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANrel586MZ1
The third this Grecian helmet shall content." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJjuP6cRBSR
He said. To their appointed base they went; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAK6lMEvw0W4
With beating hearts th' expected sign receive, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABFHw9mE9d1
And, starting all at once, the barrier leave. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmOAq5hLHzW
Spread out, as on the winged winds, they flew, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlocQU7e2JR
And seiz'd the distant goal with greedy view. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzXiOtmr4F9
Shot from the crowd, swift Nisus all o'erpass'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfiDt3ZvQcq
Nor storms, nor thunder, equal half his haste. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJ362ySa37I
The next, but tho' the next, yet far disjoin'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoBKEIdpEGR
Came Salius, and Euryalus behind; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxOLbJ1YHEj
Then Helymus, whom young Diores plied, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyi1IR05tHJ
Step after step, and almost side by side, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJFOnjjhqfv
His shoulders pressing; and, in longer space, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARpo3wceT7u
Had won, or left at least a dubious race. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiRN0aau6tZ
Now, spent, the goal they almost reach at last, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnoVuPWoF9Q
When eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVuXOVxQQCh
Slipp'd first, and, slipping, fell upon the plain, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHGv6r3YL05
Soak'd with the blood of oxen newly slain. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4UeVzytnPH
The careless victor had not mark'd his way; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4ccL3E5RGe
But, treading where the treach'rous puddle lay, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWSHVDVRkfe
His heels flew up; and on the grassy floor 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3ghbIjEzMz
He fell, besmear'd with filth and holy gore. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMEo75xXfyR
Not mindless then, Euryalus, of thee, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfmp7eiEk2F
Nor of the sacred bonds of amity, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUVLfbsqW0P
He strove th' immediate rival's hope to cross, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADCS4Tq6scd
And caught the foot of Salius as he rose. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjvteyyZE0M
So Salius lay extended on the plain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAipMTC87km4
Euryalus springs out, the prize to gain, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAN1IMWTh2Mv
And leaves the crowd: applauding peals attend 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArp90f5n1RD
The victor to the goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMR9xzXuDBX
Next Helymus; and then Diores came, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAL5XbnvHrNP
By two misfortunes made the third in fame. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbrEmpm2Pe8
But Salius enters, and, exclaiming loud 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjVKrqpIcjK
For justice, deafens and disturbs the crowd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACyuMcFfEdx
Urges his cause may in the court be heard; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA68ggoyrUcM
And pleads the prize is wrongfully conferr'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqDTsT8VqYD
But favor for Euryalus appears; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOvNCZ5oNB7
His blooming beauty, with his tender tears, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAru2U5bFhxz
Had brib'd the judges for the promis'd prize. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABwQnl7T5SC
Besides, Diores fills the court with cries, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAuSW42FDgJJ
Who vainly reaches at the last reward, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAY8TWOqD2tj
If the first palm on Salius be conferr'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKZOxl6ULEw
Then thus the prince: "Let no disputes arise: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkPnYlLD2Ol
Where fortune plac'd it, I award the prize. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARcslJsyEI7
But fortune's errors give me leave to mend, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArJEqo7wsQ1
At least to pity my deserving friend." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYpWUZKLzwd
He said, and, from among the spoils, he draws 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6sJqn36Mlb
(Pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws) 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIVbL0mT2v9
A lion's hide: to Salius this he gives. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7rGOaQ19O
Nisus with envy sees the gift, and grieves. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rhea3A60B
"If such rewards to vanquish'd men are due." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMqPBvaeDsg
He said, "and falling is to rise by you, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApqpb3zwbmm
What prize may Nisus from your bounty claim, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHyk6Yb0M5t
Who merited the first rewards and fame? 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA08Fms2fq9R
In falling, both an equal fortune tried; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzHOwamBUaG
Would fortune for my fall so well provide!" 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAB0q1zIYQsR
With this he pointed to his face, and show'd 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAuFWHgmMCMO
His hand and all his habit smear'd with blood. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsyJgWcj8em
Th' indulgent father of the people smil'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkvOADlZHcy
And caus'd to be produc'd an ample shield, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADNTV1eQtt4
Of wondrous art, by Didymaon wrought, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgkcIUQNsxw
Long since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA8jKKtLww54
This giv'n to Nisus, he divides the rest, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA29fLJPVaEG
And equal justice in his gifts express'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMXAnJttRe9
The race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAq6Rv442NUJ
Once more the princes bespeaks th' attentive crowd: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfNFnGYjjsg
"If there he here whose dauntless courage dare 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4pV4ofzfS6
In gauntlet-fight, with limbs and body bare, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmIBcbSl73Z
His opposite sustain in open view, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAt7bIR9MG2A
Stand forth the champion, and the games renew. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvB0emSCewv
Two prizes I propose, and thus divide: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzEOXAAuKoO
A bull with gilded horns, and fillets tied, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvgj14bKw0m
Shall be the portion of the conqu'ring chief; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVDvKfdIOiJ
A sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2ikPsP1In6
Then haughty Dares in the lists appears; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXHQIsSI67x
Stalking he strides, his head erected bears: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbuNHFe4BlI
His nervous arms the weighty gauntlet wield, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2aluxRSTQk
And loud applauses echo thro' the field. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVlyrhWWrzY
Dares alone in combat us'd to stand 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtX2REkh7fb
The match of mighty Paris, hand to hand; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJvwN2Me3uL
The same, at Hector's fun'rals, undertook 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA10NdXObuaO
Gigantic Butes, of th' Amycian stock, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKf1x3CyAxH
And, by the stroke of his resistless hand, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAM6zqUiWUrq
Stretch'd the vast bulk upon the yellow sand. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbLao9oOC1g
Such Dares was; and such he strode along, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvGTe2oD5dQ
And drew the wonder of the gazing throng. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvclwQOQ7v9
His brawny back and ample breast he shows, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzMCTfoRpQX
His lifted arms around his head he throws, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdNBcqKlAi5
And deals in whistling air his empty blows. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAW0jerzlkLC
His match is sought; but, thro' the trembling band, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUHFJtMOsxS
Not one dares answer to the proud demand. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJcdszkbWKH
Presuming of his force, with sparkling eyes 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKYPN0rXPkF
Already he devours the promis'd prize. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaB6L8s78vN
He claims the bull with awless insolence, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAikBRggpOci
And having seiz'd his horns, accosts the prince: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeL0KX7DjVJ
"If none my matchless valor dares oppose, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZQ3d6Zsyh
How long shall Dares wait his dastard foes? 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAV1dVUMWN9k
Permit me, chief, permit without delay, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAInttsXJB5g
To lead this uncontended gift away." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOi3CeUimid
The crowd assents, and with redoubled cries 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAw2Rv6o0zcK
For the proud challenger demands the prize. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAK3NS8OEmvu
Acestes, fir'd with just disdain, to see 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAr8VfYgmIt3
The palm usurp'd without a victory, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjLu08eLzEr
Reproach'd Entellus thus, who sate beside, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcJt7naAZ6v
And heard and saw, unmov'd, the Trojan's pride: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxsyF5sXmnM
"Once, but in vain, a champion of renown, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACfPd0RulLu
So tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZVbi71hJr0
A prize in triumph borne before your sight, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjhAO3Jdm4U
And shun, for fear, the danger of the fight? 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcsPIZ0R4D0
Where is our Eryx now, the boasted name, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiGc0xNEsoE
The god who taught your thund'ring arm the game? 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2zgOZUXo4B
Where now your baffled honor? Where the spoil 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmfS609qLtV
That fill'd your house, and fame that fill'd our isle?" 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbmm53gS1GD
Entellus, thus: "My soul is still the same, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4oX0hGYGr
Unmov'd with fear, and mov'd with martial fame; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABTvbpspD2M
But my chill blood is curdled in my veins, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWvQTwyqxKr
And scarce the shadow of a man remains. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA012ki7W6FS
O could I turn to that fair prime again, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKaJ3y4fKjK
That prime of which this boaster is so vain, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADIRuKIVAXF
The brave, who this decrepid age defies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAp0gRKs1SNQ
Should feel my force, without the promis'd prize." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAf0TEmi2a1a
He said; and, rising at the word, he threw 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANPY0WUrqTt
Two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXpCnl8USy3
Gauntlets which Eryx wont in fight to wield, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALKB87Aw4H9
And sheathe his hands with in the listed field. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPQNUQVRhCw
With fear and wonder seiz'd, the crowd beholds 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFOjTUHMvOC
The gloves of death, with sev'n distinguish'd folds 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARadaILwj1x
Of tough bull hides; the space within is spread 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2MMfyC23oY
With iron, or with loads of heavy lead: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEz2hpQCRw4
Dares himself was daunted at the sight, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ7qnYfuE2
Renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd to fight. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXldOzWGcQ2
Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZfMUjO8ql8
And pois'd the pond'rous engines in his hands. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARAZDS7Ir1q
"What had your wonder," said Entellus, "been, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACdibawdAym
Had you the gauntlets of Alcides seen, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAhZTilzvxv
Or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxMGTxRwqNL
These which I bear your brother Eryx bore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVErXsTxTSd
Still mark'd with batter'd brains and mingled gore. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANRlxHppw66
With these he long sustain'd th' Herculean arm; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAj6nxhm5x17
And these I wielded while my blood was warm, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAH4Uz2JWUXV
This languish'd frame while better spirits fed, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4QIGKKCAgv
Ere age unstrung my nerves, or time o'ersnow'd my head. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfZG5LXmpDe
But if the challenger these arms refuse, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdJor0JbjvC
And cannot wield their weight, or dare not use; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzHGJ5Tftw6
If great Aeneas and Acestes join 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiIdCUqCqZx
In his request, these gauntlets I resign; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOu0S1VeCel
Let us with equal arms perform the fight, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABtjoXaje8V
And let him leave to fear, since I resign my right." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1sI6yElFy5
This said, Entellus for the strife prepares; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAk6QlUhbnuJ
Stripp'd of his quilted coat, his body bares; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbqnIP99lME
Compos'd of mighty bones and brawn he stands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdDIsX4jsIQ
A goodly tow'ring object on the sands. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAj2tEThz5GI
Then just Aeneas equal arms supplied, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApEhOiEoS2k
Which round their shoulders to their wrists they tied. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsPm63dzBxm
Both on the tiptoe stand, at full extent, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQIwsVCEaYJ
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5tanRXSctf
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzY6nszKoB0
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwuxZ91ZeCa
One on his youth and pliant limbs relies; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAH9wmjOpMH3
One on his sinews and his giant size. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALVd2Hgd3L9
The last is stiff with age, his motion slow; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApZEfIRcjn7
He heaves for breath, he staggers to and fro, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwxF7qAYdfd
And clouds of issuing smoke his nostrils loudly blow. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAI5515gjJaj
Yet equal in success, they ward, they strike; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQdZwFxmPop
Their ways are diff'rent, but their art alike. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATzAhkGBonc
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAD9bB1VjM6c
Their hollow sides the rattling thumps resound. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVoPTCC7HrX
A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAttIcQwcyRf
And errs about their temples, ears, and eyes. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAX4ixudnrxD
Nor always errs; for oft the gauntlet draws 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhXlnEmVTUG
A sweeping stroke along the crackling jaws. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASIiw7jTLIl
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAO6oq0hfU3b
But with his warping body wards the wound. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVhnqVs2v0a
His hand and watchful eye keep even pace; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtCahSVjIrU
While Dares traverses and shifts his place, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXuOsu0mMnl
And, like a captain who beleaguers round 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeYLh7YtGEf
Some strong-built castle on a rising ground, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATFxiWCTjJR
Views all th' approaches with observing eyes: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFqlKGXKU46
This and that other part in vain he tries, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVsVfkQuJBv
And more on industry than force relies. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVUruqYaOJP
With hands on high, Entellus threats the foe; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATgTwA1pgWj
But Dares watch'd the motion from below, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANt88qEBxEM
And slipp'd aside, and shunn'd the long descending blow. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA91mGMySzla
Entellus wastes his forces on the wind, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACs7eRSyESj
And, thus deluded of the stroke design'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yus3J0p5v
Headlong and heavy fell; his ample breast 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbp4sj6qWr6
And weighty limbs his ancient mother press'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzCl6BD1TKj
So falls a hollow pine, that long had stood 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArRfrpzm97n
On Ida's height, or Erymanthus' wood, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEVnQIsH9o1
Torn from the roots. The diff'ring nations rise, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5W1icjq5KJ
And shouts and mingled murmurs rend the skies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAByVPND6V2l
Acestus runs with eager haste, to raise 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAghoP29CEWB
The fall'n companion of his youthful days. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hhlof9ARM
Dauntless he rose, and to the fight return'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9NeRiG73Oi
With shame his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury burn'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA8bOug2Su0i
Disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQWKkkjrPbt
And with redoubled force his foe he press'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAc2lZHPJEaN
He lays on load with either hand, amain, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAumnj50yzNS
And headlong drives the Trojan o'er the plain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAY24kSzpY6J
Nor stops, nor stays; nor rest nor breath allows; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApId8yRfczO
But storms of strokes descend about his brows, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMlZnaRKhmT
A rattling tempest, and a hail of blows. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsM1p87UoYY
But now the prince, who saw the wild increase 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqLlMBWfdoA
Of wounds, commands the combatants to cease, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHwYr83AYTK
And bounds Entellus' wrath, and bids the peace. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQLo7TXJl2L
First to the Trojan, spent with toil, he came, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAu95aWm7PEQ
And sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYIvV1mejH0
"What fury seiz'd my friend? The gods," said he, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANjofHjv4ty
"To him propitious, and averse to thee, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaYZ4xYLNGo
Have giv'n his arm superior force to thine. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAedcyrFF7C3
'T is madness to contend with strength divine." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAf6ZvKN1RtZ
The gauntlet fight thus ended, from the shore 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAf1wxdCAiTu
His faithful friends unhappy Dares bore: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKTUnaYWaDi
His mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGt04nwyRch
And pounded teeth came rushing with his blood. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAD1e9sQhN7h
Faintly he stagger'd thro' the hissing throng, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArcWgM0n4QI
And hung his head, and trail'd his legs along. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8W7QekpDN
The sword and casque are carried by his train; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGwKHYg5i2r
But with his foe the palm and ox remain. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADeXTRBOv1d
The champion, then, before Aeneas came, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAI5e3fY6IZf
Proud of his prize, but prouder of his fame: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAZL4pfaM9g
"O goddess-born, and you, Dardanian host, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHTLDzAeWn4
Mark with attention, and forgive my boast; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0j6iRwZNtv
Learn what I was, by what remains; and know 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4FD4vmO1mp
From what impending fate you sav'd my foe." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAK15N8Y38Ah
Sternly he spoke, and then confronts the bull; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUkVR6FJPRt
And, on his ample forehead aiming full, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYttcLV2JRb
The deadly stroke, descending, pierc'd the skull. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwIykaNUWvk
Down drops the beast, nor needs a second wound, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6xI73avrAI
But sprawls in pangs of death, and spurns the ground. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAh8aXqZc8vb
Then, thus: "In Dares' stead I offer this. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9jsrdqrcMb
Eryx, accept a nobler sacrifice; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7636Ep3dwK
Take the last gift my wither'd arms can yield: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkLiZqVxHui
Thy gauntlets I resign, and here renounce the field." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiKtJcYvV8t
This done, Aeneas orders, for the close, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtsBZz8kazT
The strife of archers with contending bows. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbDgQHqY1np
The mast Sergesthus' shatter'd galley bore 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXHlusR95ez
With his own hands he raises on the shore. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA12F4eWHT1z
A flutt'ring dove upon the top they tie, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsC9Sk5yJ1u
The living mark at which their arrows fly. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAL9lSEhQ3uk
The rival archers in a line advance, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANGh1dZhaXt
Their turn of shooting to receive from chance. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA50dyFwMvjH
A helmet holds their names; the lots are drawn: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZhsL1C4q1
On the first scroll was read Hippocoon. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAf0oN8AbnZF
The people shout. Upon the next was found 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOQxTjw3TB5
Young Mnestheus, late with naval honors crown'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1UdUsEcrQ7
The third contain'd Eurytion's noble name, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfo9gH1F5vJ
Thy brother, Pandarus, and next in fame, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1A4WSfHsvl
Whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnv52jf5kyr
And send among the Greeks a feather'd wound. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApYYDI3XtgF
Acestes in the bottom last remain'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAc02x0ec5WG
Whom not his age from youthful sports restrain'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAU5PUWmvg5j
Soon all with vigor bend their trusty bows, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9pX4DoiRGU
And from the quiver each his arrow chose. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACqUQTr6bmY
Hippocoon's was the first: with forceful sway 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWbgSTttk01
It flew, and, whizzing, cut the liquid way. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAivj16oJjXD
Fix'd in the mast the feather'd weapon stands: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwarFXUXES7
The fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAolHmH3BOyC
And the tree trembled, and the shouting cries 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAh46NdN7b2d
Of the pleas'd people rend the vaulted skies. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAq1XOCgoMoL
Then Mnestheus to the head his arrow drove, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA90cV7Ms8Vh
With lifted eyes, and took his aim above, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAE3Qhwf9du0
But made a glancing shot, and missed the dove; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5cz5IsCUzn
Yet miss'd so narrow, that he cut the cord 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdSNd26BO8F
Which fasten'd by the foot the flitting bird. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqZQw1Httzv
The captive thus releas'd, away she flies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyGRMUMH4uh
And beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVpJ9Mgv53L
His bow already bent, Eurytion stood; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIVY8y1vYa6
And, having first invok'd his brother god, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAR8zZVrjtMH
His winged shaft with eager haste he sped. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAV2NvkSyhGu
The fatal message reach'd her as she fled: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAP6COD19G8t
She leaves her life aloft; she strikes the ground, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnVUGNfPmve
And renders back the weapon in the wound. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhtBxMk86OJ
Acestes, grudging at his lot, remains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyjHGIJWgi1
Without a prize to gratify his pains. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYVKgFjeIMo
Yet, shooting upward, sends his shaft, to show 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPIIns6YeC0
An archer's art, and boast his twanging bow. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2HWcYvA8G
The feather'd arrow gave a dire portent, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXi6mq2Yx0h
And latter augurs judge from this event. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGSsImeHxgl
Chaf'd by the speed, it fir'd; and, as it flew, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArROSZ4RdIg
A trail of following flames ascending drew: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxi1lcZjPG2
Kindling they mount, and mark the shiny way; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAC65T7eG3w3
Across the skies as falling meteors play, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHbr9MtSOWr
And vanish into wind, or in a blaze decay. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA14oeKgci2P
The Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAN4gQ9Kli4t
And, trembling, turn their wonder into pray'r. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9N7lewSN8J
The Dardan prince put on a smiling face, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFwURzX123E
And strain'd Acestes with a close embrace; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZlUiRSSI0d
Then, hon'ring him with gifts above the rest, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAuGYR2z7MC3
Turn'd the bad omen, nor his fears confess'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4X9xqsNyuZ
"The gods," said he, "this miracle have wrought, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANbY0imNVxQ
And order'd you the prize without the lot. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFABpaqnSov
Accept this goblet, rough with figur'd gold, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFxlUfirMzi
Which Thracian Cisseus gave my sire of old: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7PH0H5UI81
This pledge of ancient amity receive, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIa4oMV6DYS
Which to my second sire I justly give." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAjYso5iDhw
He said, and, with the trumpets' cheerful sound, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhYaBuqocR5
Proclaim'd him victor, and with laurel-crown'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYdKS6cFZik
Nor good Eurytion envied him the prize, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5I2eReEKY0
Tho' he transfix'd the pigeon in the skies. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZXJH4ZQRDY
Who cut the line, with second gifts was grac'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3aZ7uIBSIQ
The third was his whose arrow pierc'd the mast. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAihKbKvIVnx
The chief, before the games were wholly done, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcGnbddAaoZ
Call'd Periphantes, tutor to his son, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwWg53MlJ9J
And whisper'd thus: "With speed Ascanius find; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjdaWxtTar4
And, if his childish troop be ready join'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAW2J8AGwUId
On horseback let him grace his grandsire's day, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoe9bZC92gN
And lead his equals arm'd in just array." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1dcbuoUQiS
He said; and, calling out, the cirque he clears. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhd51SdUbaX
The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAo2yHkGud9I
And now the noble youths, of form divine, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAE584oT3fHn
Advance before their fathers, in a line; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcZWd1gcRbw
The riders grace the steeds; the steeds with glory shine. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAy1GCdw9HfU
Thus marching on in military pride, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEDTFDZ4HvZ
Shouts of applause resound from side to side. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAc0CqGmLvow
Their casques adorn'd with laurel wreaths they wear, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlucP8FJ2sP
Each brandishing aloft a cornel spear. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJQAx77OYh6
Some at their backs their gilded quivers bore; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAd0hLbYc8nC
Their chains of burnish'd gold hung down before. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEv0UHcEOiQ
Three graceful troops they form'd upon the green; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4KRqCSplsk
Three graceful leaders at their head were seen; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgsRrk3Ew4P
Twelve follow'd ev'ry chief, and left a space between. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiLusNOXD4Y
The first young Priam led; a lovely boy, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnihR8OhfTI
Whose grandsire was th' unhappy king of Troy; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcg3crI1kVH
His race in after times was known to fame, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcYkkcub614
New honors adding to the Latian name; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYUQC2qXnoq
And well the royal boy his Thracian steed became. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANm9Fod9XQ6
White were the fetlocks of his feet before, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZDGgceobm
And on his front a snowy star he bore. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMUj0tc8p9R
Then beauteous Atys, with Iulus bred, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4sPBF38W2L
Of equal age, the second squadron led. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAR4uVUcU1l7
The last in order, but the first in place, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOKgVNkIfol
First in the lovely features of his face, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxh6kODKFz4
Rode fair Ascanius on a fiery steed, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPiZp46vKQX
Queen Dido's gift, and of the Tyrian breed. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaF82lHMz3k
Sure coursers for the rest the king ordains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAME5QwXg56l
With golden bits adorn'd, and purple reins. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyRNU7oaSJh
The pleas'd spectators peals of shouts renew, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYjY13jzYfb
And all the parents in the children view; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlhz8tgaVzV
Their make, their motions, and their sprightly grace, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbYI0iiftiO
And hopes and fears alternate in their face. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgC5MqHd7KB
Th' unfledg'd commanders and their martial train 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAL8jUbboCzV
First make the circuit of the sandy plain 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeEzfOQ7jlL
Around their sires, and, at th' appointed sign, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAg03nbJkuFz
Drawn up in beauteous order, form a line. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7xxINu4Nae
The second signal sounds, the troop divides 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFn1JKx8ds5
In three distinguish'd parts, with three distinguish'd guides 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5i1aHK7nUS
Again they close, and once again disjoin; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAninjFlJS68
In troop to troop oppos'd, and line to line. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFpa5uhJ9Nc
They meet; they wheel; they throw their darts afar 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMBgPynT1PC
With harmless rage and well-dissembled war. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2nNtGBbyGJ
Then in a round the mingled bodies run: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYsLpAaoHXs
Flying they follow, and pursuing shun; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOX43HEUDoz
Broken, they break; and, rallying, they renew 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAreUa0KONBG
In other forms the military shew. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIWbMLj5Ufb
At last, in order, undiscern'd they join, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXifbGUNZpj
And march together in a friendly line. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyoHPsvtPRo
And, as the Cretan labyrinth of old, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGy49uSkN7G
With wand'ring ways and many a winding fold, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2JNz5UOMgJ
Involv'd the weary feet, without redress, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKsLtvfdU90
In a round error, which denied recess; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMSv0TeKUEO
So fought the Trojan boys in warlike play, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbmvbYYS4m0
Turn'd and return'd, and still a diff'rent way. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzpYpZnt6v1
Thus dolphins in the deep each other chase 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAr7UIxEMz1x
In circles, when they swim around the wat'ry race. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ3R6QiloA
This game, these carousels, Ascanius taught; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnHLIwiawke
And, building Alba, to the Latins brought; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhzeCuDazzv
Shew'd what he learn'd: the Latin sires impart 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAirkHtbBVIm
To their succeeding sons the graceful art; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAF33iRnfi39
From these imperial Rome receiv'd the game, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAuuojIEwYax
Which Troy, the youths the Trojan troop, they name. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbc8Gmh1DmX
Thus far the sacred sports they celebrate: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcl42tqAg1r
But Fortune soon resum'd her ancient hate; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATjQgkNppzE
For, while they pay the dead his annual dues, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwcSOiRPSwM
Those envied rites Saturnian Juno views; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANACt4F2rfnDx
And sends the goddess of the various bow, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcozPFEN8Ok
To try new methods of revenge below; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAy8qUwxKMfl
Supplies the winds to wing her airy way, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEtMh17FW8z
Where in the port secure the navy lay. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADF5UuwGyd8
Swiftly fair Iris down her arch descends, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnfnZHK0X8i
And, undiscern'd, her fatal voyage ends. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARXGrRDNW0j
She saw the gath'ring crowd; and, gliding thence, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXMt9dZ8idZ
The desart shore, and fleet without defense. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwBk14vWnEE
The Trojan matrons, on the sands alone, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcxU5Xx9RLD
With sighs and tears Anchises' death bemoan; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAL3FTewhJJ4
Then, turning to the sea their weeping eyes, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABfJ1Aro9SR
Their pity to themselves renews their cries. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAf8tCeyF8hk
"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4Lq0guLD9c
For us to sail! what labors to sustain!" 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVJcF5vXMDD
All take the word, and, with a gen'ral groan, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwu9RhvUJPK
Implore the gods for peace, and places of their own. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdTj6wtO2qw
The goddess, great in mischief, views their pains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAloyegaEimq
And in a woman's form her heav'nly limbs restrains. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASeWlnSXbzM
In face and shape old Beroe she became, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA98Uvdf5osG
Doryclus' wife, a venerable dame, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAQoxHbJIEj
Once blest with riches, and a mother's name. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqPyWeEIzIn
Thus chang'd, amidst the crying crowd she ran, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnf3DgHcRQQ
Mix'd with the matrons, and these words began: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVWcFzAyLN0
"O wretched we, whom not the Grecian pow'r, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKjRbZy2Ocd
Nor flames, destroy'd, in Troy's unhappy hour! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOrtWsPMr8w
O wretched we, reserv'd by cruel fate, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVUpANysJrp
Beyond the ruins of the sinking state! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEx8h0ou3g2
Now sev'n revolving years are wholly run, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVqFX8UFFrj
Since this improsp'rous voyage we begun; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnJkcx0pnUN
Since, toss'd from shores to shores, from lands to lands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9PEDHGyEdo
Inhospitable rocks and barren sands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kn5BQoY2i
Wand'ring in exile thro' the stormy sea, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjarE8OasGT
We search in vain for flying Italy. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxCAcFdTDUS
Now cast by fortune on this kindred land, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWT8LsNptZ4
What should our rest and rising walls withstand, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFdVPVI2mqR
Or hinder here to fix our banish'd band? 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGjeHsIFn64
O country lost, and gods redeem'd in vain, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATVCcsUiZXE
If still in endless exile we remain! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhCSlA1F7Eo
Shall we no more the Trojan walls renew, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdxVnijnWOe
Or streams of some dissembled Simois view! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA52cxK5RNpi
Haste, join with me, th' unhappy fleet consume! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAITkJ6AbbQ7
Cassandra bids; and I declare her doom. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbJIgZ9Fqwc
In sleep I saw her; she supplied my hands 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAF4bGdsbCIg
(For this I more than dreamt) with flaming brands: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3EcHtEXJil
'With these,' said she, 'these wand'ring ships destroy: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbpm4kcAnv4
These are your fatal seats, and this your Troy.' 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAstYJjyDi8K
Time calls you now; the precious hour employ: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFNhpl3q8Fj
Slack not the good presage, while Heav'n inspires 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAlZPHevx0R
Our minds to dare, and gives the ready fires. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJjegJXxDsL
See! Neptune's altars minister their brands: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAK5c1DFwYZl
The god is pleas'd; the god supplies our hands." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAzvGaeOwWl
Then from the pile a flaming fire she drew, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAj3X3SYQH75
And, toss'd in air, amidst the galleys threw. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUowsfPwCMb
Wrapp'd in amaze, the matrons wildly stare: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1eMVkbWfvI
Then Pyrgo, reverenc'd for her hoary hair, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqC88Wf5FTX
Pyrgo, the nurse of Priam's num'rous race: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArq1t6pv4dA
"No Beroe this, tho' she belies her face! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiCRTUdJhu3
What terrors from her frowning front arise! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7yBvhrsmh9
Behold a goddess in her ardent eyes! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9jkHx498ue
What rays around her heav'nly face are seen! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA8RjRgdb1s4
Mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mien! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1sTXTmOjPz
Beroe but now I left, whom, pin'd with pain, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQ87SDXGn1t
Her age and anguish from these rites detain," 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAq78ydFJF3C
She said. The matrons, seiz'd with new amaze, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPRmF7zWAta
Roll their malignant eyes, and on the navy gaze. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAowIYGOIz33
They fear, and hope, and neither part obey: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAud5wN9QPeN
They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAW5gtWZD3p6
The goddess, having done her task below, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbGYFISLRfR
Mounts up on equal wings, and bends her painted bow. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAO8SBBx8Ode
Struck with the sight, and seiz'd with rage divine, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABUyCr7GicH
The matrons prosecute their mad design: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYmqFINhrb5
They shriek aloud; they snatch, with impious hands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAayUdi6HeAk
The food of altars; fires and flaming brands. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABEKrL2G3yX
Green boughs and saplings, mingled in their haste, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqKaqZgIBaI
And smoking torches, on the ships they cast. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA5kQn7nJWgf
The flame, unstopp'd at first, more fury gains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZHhWRnjS3t
And Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0SJa5YPoWp
Triumphant to the painted sterns he soars, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASaXYIq0hEz
And seizes, in this way, the banks and crackling oars. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAIpWIbQYhAA
Eumelus was the first the news to bear, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdux5BrQMaO
While yet they crowd the rural theater. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAOw6trZcWwc
Then, what they hear, is witness'd by their eyes: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAN3mWaxTgMK
A storm of sparkles and of flames arise. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXyOadDXJU2
Ascanius took th' alarm, while yet he led 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANEUZZo46tj
His early warriors on his prancing steed, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkiNKKDErIf
And, spurring on, his equals soon o'erpass'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxQMkLiBihF
Nor could his frighted friends reclaim his haste. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4Iy4Nk4eVZ
Soon as the royal youth appear'd in view, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAECB9VKtN8w
He sent his voice before him as he flew: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcgf4n4RnMO
"What madness moves you, matrons, to destroy 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPCGLYposuO
The last remainders of unhappy Troy! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAT2PSV7RW59
Not hostile fleets, but your own hopes, you burn, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARlAKdaQCWc
And on your friends your fatal fury turn. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbVNxGnAD2m
Behold your own Ascanius!" While he said, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxjotZLDJdN
He drew his glitt'ring helmet from his head, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYGQUsZOdYd
In which the youths to sportful arms he led. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbBo8c5JoFj
By this, Aeneas and his train appear; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6z2wYjgdH4
And now the women, seiz'd with shame and fear, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbsZtf3NEgA
Dispers'd, to woods and caverns take their flight, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6ICLzK8ino
Abhor their actions, and avoid the light; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhY8b2Q7rkO
Their friends acknowledge, and their error find, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGTtB5U5cKm
And shake the goddess from their alter'd mind. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAEztY6oOwtO
Not so the raging fires their fury cease, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwW8svsOcEB
But, lurking in the seams, with seeming peace, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxHoMIQNAaf
Work on their way amid the smold'ring tow, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcr9Gb7en1h
Sure in destruction, but in motion slow. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAskDm941vBb
The silent plague thro' the green timber eats, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6pqWY7AZQA
And vomits out a tardy flame by fits. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7X8enQZ2GI
Down to the keels, and upward to the sails, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAN2HvyMyADH
The fire descends, or mounts, but still prevails; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdZtVn3OoPp
Nor buckets pour'd, nor strength of human hand, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXy6PRsAlMo
Can the victorious element withstand. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6lV6CGTzQa
The pious hero rends his robe, and throws 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAT3mRtVxSC5
To heav'n his hands, and with his hands his vows. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJRkOVKZ25y
"O Jove," he cried, "if pray'rs can yet have place; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiKFlrXbqG3
If thou abhorr'st not all the Dardan race; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAC8ASFOyqkn
If any spark of pity still remain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASGKiasSVtj
If gods are gods, and not invok'd in vain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhn0hYmUJoy
Yet spare the relics of the Trojan train! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJbgnnuM0Qb
Yet from the flames our burning vessels free, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHglItkQWty
Or let thy fury fall alone on me! 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZs6hlLpMLR
At this devoted head thy thunder throw, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvqDvZxOw8q
And send the willing sacrifice below!" 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZUP0LAfCI
Scarce had he said, when southern storms arise: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALGMjWGwJPX
From pole to pole the forky lightning flies; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAew0C8PVLmX
Loud rattling shakes the mountains and the plain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWAZCuoKMaw
Heav'n bellies downward, and descends in rain. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvM0sjGQIdk
Whole sheets of water from the clouds are sent, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATyBQ1ICrD1
Which, hissing thro' the planks, the flames prevent, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6tV8QjjJWl
And stop the fiery pest. Four ships alone 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xc39FhFC4
Burn to the waist, and for the fleet atone. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAp7jeUFlQ7O
But doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAce1OZaAf6a
If he should still in Sicily reside, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAkyosE1ofB9
Forgetful of his fates, or tempt the main, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATrSmi5guJU
In hope the promis'd Italy to gain. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjOL96i3NL8
Then Nautes, old and wise, to whom alone 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnAkOooYvWR
The will of Heav'n by Pallas was foreshown; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjmb1pbouJc
Vers'd in portents, experienc'd, and inspir'd 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhVNWmdSJBO
To tell events, and what the fates requir'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPB823mpC1g
Thus while he stood, to neither part inclin'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYnUcuWKc7I
With cheerful words reliev'd his lab'ring mind: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9kxmKqbRIW
"O goddess-born, resign'd in ev'ry state, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaVUTnkli2h
With patience bear, with prudence push your fate. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHKpTmkJtUC
By suff'ring well, our Fortune we subdue; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATmLuj9mTna
Fly when she frowns, and, when she calls, pursue. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAU2jKvwNj3D
Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4Up4AgRAf4
To him disclose the secrets of your mind: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2nTCVcYrs
Trust in his hands your old and useless train; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABjAT72QABU
Too num'rous for the ships which yet remain: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADiQDq1A85N
The feeble, old, indulgent of their ease, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4O0slg3Trw
The dames who dread the dangers of the seas, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjo1Dnabyjo
With all the dastard crew, who dare not stand 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAuefSYjbA79
The shock of battle with your foes by land. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADppdfqQ6O0
Here you may build a common town for all, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAftrHc5JWfe
And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAm9kTqA5bg2
The reasons, with his friend's experience join'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANANozVhZTMRL
Encourag'd much, but more disturb'd his mind. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtSH4OvKkUM
'T was dead of night; when to his slumb'ring eyes 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqM5012U1ud
His father's shade descended from the skies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4df90YAiXk
And thus he spoke: "O more than vital breath, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqIfJYxSWHu
Lov'd while I liv'd, and dear ev'n after death; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfaE5nhz43A
O son, in various toils and troubles toss'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmqACAKWtfI
The King of Heav'n employs my careful ghost 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ3tx3tAcd
On his commands: the god, who sav'd from fire 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASEQA6meIou
Your flaming fleet, and heard your just desire. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATqgESAHoBb
The wholesome counsel of your friend receive, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxyJNcgxKzJ
And here the coward train and woman leave: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQhI7HskNyP
The chosen youth, and those who nobly dare, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAT9EOletnoG
Transport, to tempt the dangers of the war. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhFzlWKjWwq
The stern Italians will their courage try; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApFfXu0OMMp
Rough are their manners, and their minds are high. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAuiAfBmrMj7
But first to Pluto's palace you shall go, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtQGB6Z5v0q
And seek my shade among the blest below: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAekowZeyH9F
For not with impious ghosts my soul remains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPxI2907jAY
Nor suffers with the damn'd perpetual pains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAg3QofksfHN
But breathes the living air of soft Elysian plains. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3V1gXymr0k
The chaste Sibylla shall your steps convey, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7eYOKaLcP7
And blood of offer'd victims free the way. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcL05oW4oaW
There shall you know what realms the gods assign, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANALXKu8quZgN
And learn the fates and fortunes of your line. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxeCOo1gppA
But now, farewell! I vanish with the night, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgeww90MqJU
And feel the blast of heav'n's approaching light." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAE3aUYMDdv8
He said, and mix'd with shades, and took his airy flight. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAusYT2ogpLI
"Whither so fast?" the filial duty cried; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiVdYMqvKWb
"And why, ah why, the wish'd embrace denied?" 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATR7AtgcDg2
He said, and rose; as holy zeal inspires, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAKmBcSxXhyZ
He rakes hot embers, and renews the fires; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAb8xra8bQyF
His country gods and Vesta then adores 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1CNrdX8fXi
With cakes and incense, and their aid implores. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoz3hhDCyxU
Next, for his friends and royal host he sent, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeoiITAebAt
Reveal'd his vision, and the gods' intent, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqKfhREhu3M
With his own purpose. All, without delay, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbBpZq6KWlY
The will of Jove, and his desires obey. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAv8dsLn03Yo
They list with women each degenerate name, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAR9KyCuGczH
Who dares not hazard life for future fame. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAb31EeNEunQ
These they cashier: the brave remaining few, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwmKHZKNS6L
Oars, banks, and cables, half consum'd, renew. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwz2mZlKCK9
The prince designs a city with the plow; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPZhvUrmmvO
The lots their sev'ral tenements allow. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjSC2zoCxSG
This part is nam'd from Ilium, that from Troy, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAg8NmRXi5Pb
And the new king ascends the throne with joy; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAh1V9znVgtw
A chosen senate from the people draws; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ6V58Lrf3
Appoints the judges, and ordains the laws. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaGIdt3NoXI
Then, on the top of Eryx, they begin 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQgVN3d7Xog
A rising temple to the Paphian queen. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ9QJwRtfz
Anchises, last, is honor'd as a god; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7py5ic4gTx
A priest is added, annual gifts bestow'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2YzJhIJKAI
And groves are planted round his blest abode. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAcsBoxIPtAU
Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApcFnF3aA0q
And fumes of incense in the fanes abound. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAqOJqboEB1Z
Then from the south arose a gentle breeze 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0BFsVnQsBp
That curl'd the smoothness of the glassy seas; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVt6I57KRKj
The rising winds a ruffling gale afford, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASrvy4EcM7T
And call the merry mariners aboard. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6GIn71p0L5
Now loud laments along the shores resound, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoghlCRuXPc
Of parting friends in close embraces bound. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZVTsEibw30
The trembling women, the degenerate train, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdvOfpmTqol
Who shunn'd the frightful dangers of the main, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArH7fPnl8qX
Ev'n those desire to sail, and take their share 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAz2LvqzGgXp
Of the rough passage and the promis'd war: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANASLu3u2sasv
Whom good Aeneas cheers, and recommends 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2x4Zax9dNU
To their new master's care his fearful friends. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZVww0eYGf4
On Eryx's altars three fat calves he lays; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATTsjXxyJM8
A lamb new-fallen to the stormy seas; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxoOU3uGUFw
Then slips his haulsers, and his anchors weighs. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZs5ll2htVS
High on the deck the godlike hero stands, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANApllCvxHHdC
With olive crown'd, a charger in his hands; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvxIQPox0Cv
Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgvVDL0QqgR
And pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4aru5BwkFj
Fresh gales arise; with equal strokes they vie, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAa4EvqpBvkq
And brush the buxom seas, and o'er the billows fly. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJc3AjRHK37
Meantime the mother goddess, full of fears, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA7apbjtWEhO
To Neptune thus address'd, with tender tears: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGSR7MnlYwl
"The pride of Jove's imperious queen, the rage, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAI2IR71HNh5
The malice which no suff'rings can assuage, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlLQT7NQcxT
Compel me to these pray'rs; since neither fate, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATBK7SRwUef
Nor time, nor pity, can remove her hate: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnCykfWT0Gl
Ev'n Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAHC8FcDWsrZ
Still vanquish'd, yet she still renews the strife. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnWydDpNxTM
As if 't were little to consume the town 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAp9V4Y9vvtr
Which aw'd the world, and wore th' imperial crown, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZwql9WuDJe
She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1QWV1RpIrP
And gnaws, ev'n to the bones, the last remains. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVdJxdBM7F2
Let her the causes of her hatred tell; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANADBi2lnbi7T
But you can witness its effects too well. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFjfur4KT01
You saw the storm she rais'd on Libyan floods, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiROqNRFfcP
That mix'd the mounting billows with the clouds; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAnChAvAkRM1
When, bribing Aeolus, she shook the main, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA0zUPU0vXGW
And mov'd rebellion in your wat'ry reign. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsaMLl6etnx
With fury she possess'd the Dardan dames, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtqRISeVLsX
To burn their fleet with execrable flames, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAC6N7SeCcZX
And forc'd Aeneas, when his ships were lost, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAP0SDSEBnBL
To leave his foll'wers on a foreign coast. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeeh4fxj060
For what remains, your godhead I implore, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmxv3XNEo6d
And trust my son to your protecting pow'r. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAynIuRSnleD
If neither Jove's nor Fate's decree withstand, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjDHQjNgmoG
Secure his passage to the Latian land." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmjYkc7q8TV
Then thus the mighty Ruler of the Main: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAMfi6qZPesb
"What may not Venus hope from Neptune's reign? 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsdCQGbjZS4
My kingdom claims your birth; my late defense 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA17f6ZKa3jy
Of your indanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlrNtM9lXfy
Nor less by land than sea my deeds declare 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATzTzFAiT49
How much your lov'd Aeneas is my care. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAE1M5Mhzxt0
Thee, Xanthus, and thee, Simois, I attest. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzKaRB4vUwr
Your Trojan troops when proud Achilles press'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2FGXqVCQuE
And drove before him headlong on the plain, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWBvOvHlbtV
And dash'd against the walls the trembling train; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA9UrgOSIJlY
When floods were fill'd with bodies of the slain; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAGTRJl0M1OH
When crimson Xanthus, doubtful of his way, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAK8RJJLucIw
Stood up on ridges to behold the sea; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAyIdKXPuD5a
(New heaps came tumbling in, and chok'd his way;) 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfNrbmjspRs
When your Aeneas fought, but fought with odds 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2jE2tow6pd
Of force unequal, and unequal gods; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3qilfMtK81
I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6LJQ15nuO0
Sustain'd the vanquish'd, and secur'd his flight; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAe521JysSfR
Ev'n then secur'd him, when I sought with joy 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQJpehcvPuo
The vow'd destruction of ungrateful Troy. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA2kPUTUwXxe
My will's the same: fair goddess, fear no more, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzWCzx08HUv
Your fleet shall safely gain the Latian shore; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANABnzR2dWfYV
Their lives are giv'n; one destin'd head alone 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUe77nqNgxE
Shall perish, and for multitudes atone." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAet3Tyl52Wm
Thus having arm'd with hopes her anxious mind, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAZqxdf2FF5M
His finny team Saturnian Neptune join'd, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJgz3AcSwq1
Then adds the foamy bridle to their jaws, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAc9UJ0gEFOZ
And to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA6ukmPWTL0s
High on the waves his azure car he guides; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFBdwKMwYCy
Its axles thunder, and the sea subsides, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAQdGjXhE81v
And the smooth ocean rolls her silent tides. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoJscqkGzBz
The tempests fly before their father's face, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA1um56AQHis
Trains of inferior gods his triumph grace, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWiGvoTuGcE
And monster whales before their master play, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxCE14UDcW9
And choirs of Tritons crowd the wat'ry way. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAhUM02sx0iC
The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAfyoDrwhHX9
To right and left; the gods his better side 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgKq7pXU0MP
Inclose, and on the worse the Nymphs and Nereids ride. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWc90FjLcO5
Now smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAsysRfPlaMj
Within the hero's mind his joys renew'd. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ4MRPTPBo
He calls to raise the masts, the sheets display; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAz1px803fTa
The cheerful crew with diligence obey; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAS0uG9V67mb
They scud before the wind, and sail in open sea. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAq6F39jCF9P
Ahead of all the master pilot steers; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgerP57eoGF
And, as he leads, the following navy veers. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArHmukcTWPp
The steeds of Night had travel'd half the sky, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAICf1blhbqW
The drowsy rowers on their benches lie, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAATAQifv0SI
When the soft God of Sleep, with easy flight, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAPypZPQi9y6
Descends, and draws behind a trail of light. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAucGHiRnNxB
Thou, Palinurus, art his destin'd prey; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAiZgs7FsocE
To thee alone he takes his fatal way. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAWrcSwY4WhZ
Dire dreams to thee, and iron sleep, he bears; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUJmAJk0rEu
And, lighting on thy prow, the form of Phorbas wears. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAaEFaS7Ig2A
Then thus the traitor god began his tale: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXyYygrNAu6
"The winds, my friend, inspire a pleasing gale; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAwoKn62SbFY
The ships, without thy care, securely sail. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAT1sXZwGlUC
Now steal an hour of sweet repose; and I 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFtRO4L6t90
Will take the rudder and thy room supply." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAXDO7psmMTd
To whom the yawning pilot, half asleep: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjFXGK0voIF
"Me dost thou bid to trust the treach'rous deep, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAf4LmJTM03k
The harlot smiles of her dissembling face, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAlxnDjY2bFD
And to her faith commit the Trojan race? 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAjWB8kGuMNt
Shall I believe the Siren South again, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAE8N23qiyIW
And, oft betray'd, not know the monster main?" 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAy5IPKSVx7X
He said: his fasten'd hands the rudder keep, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAvmgEZmT0tt
And, fix'd on heav'n, his eyes repel invading sleep. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAgoG19zKS70
The god was wroth, and at his temples threw 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAesHh24RKFO
A branch in Lethe dipp'd, and drunk with Stygian dew: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAAz7oB0UX9N
The pilot, vanquish'd by the pow'r divine, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANATR96ZqL1Ql
Soon clos'd his swimming eyes, and lay supine. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAs9qHlIsE2m
Scarce were his limbs extended at their length, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeiSvyrBTu5
The god, insulting with superior strength, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAVoqHvBlkma
Fell heavy on him, plung'd him in the sea, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAt5DPLSuCd2
And, with the stern, the rudder tore away. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAv81orq35Gl
Headlong he fell, and, struggling in the main, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Gl0vg6mP
Cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAmi9vGi0Fca
The victor daemon mounts obscure in air, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA4WV27ExBhH
While the ship sails without the pilot's care. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAODjQh4trV5
On Neptune's faith the floating fleet relies; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAzFm8F9xdQ5
But what the man forsook, the god supplies, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANArh5ZKUiFsU
And o'er the dang'rous deep secure the navy flies; 1190Please respect copyright.PENANARJVFnpxkrK
Glides by the Sirens' cliffs, a shelfy coast, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAeHMaU3zBaf
Long infamous for ships and sailors lost, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUvqd2shAmG
And white with bones. Th' impetuous ocean roars, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAxA4MRfws3y
And rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAdJnoeTJkFl
The watchful hero felt the knocks, and found 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFoeaIpvFin
The tossing vessel sail'd on shoaly ground. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAUkaz4zWbmB
Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAFHLjdLFGZ7
The helm, and steers aloof, and shuns the shelf. 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAbAmTOWKKJe
Inly he griev'd, and, groaning from the breast, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAJMLPeMnpCJ
Deplor'd his death; and thus his pain express'd: 1190Please respect copyright.PENANA3bgZyZSuaC
"For faith repos'd on seas, and on the flatt'ring sky, 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAoJJcq9gxMv
Thy naked corpse is doom'd on shores unknown to lie." 1190Please respect copyright.PENANAtCgex29FkM
