Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkJcpOZveXR
Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAoB15kRFPyN
Then, casting back his eyes, with dire amaze, 892Please respect copyright.PENANASXhiyJve8Q
Sees on the Punic shore the mounting blaze. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7sH76Yzn6v
The cause unknown; yet his presaging mind 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZEiyLutp5l
The fate of Dido from the fire divin'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOkWhCncIgA
He knew the stormy souls of womankind, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAa7XAiYfbvE
What secret springs their eager passions move, 892Please respect copyright.PENANALTnIEAzcGx
How capable of death for injur'd love. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAB6VNaoZjYI
Dire auguries from hence the Trojans draw; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABa93kFnmjz
Till neither fires nor shining shores they saw. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAk38nDULeXv
Now seas and skies their prospect only bound; 892Please respect copyright.PENANArKt7fNnAPM
An empty space above, a floating field around. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAXF0vIUXlgz
But soon the heav'ns with shadows were o'erspread; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaxn8VbwZI0
A swelling cloud hung hov'ring o'er their head: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAumo6tXODg9
Livid it look'd, the threat'ning of a storm: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqCcE9eaDdm
Then night and horror ocean's face deform. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA15sXJkFCb1
The pilot, Palinurus, cried aloud: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAm1kSZz3uPs
"What gusts of weather from that gath'ring cloud 892Please respect copyright.PENANADZ1EHwMPjH
My thoughts presage! Ere yet the tempest roars, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjtrTTP2C3M
Stand to your tackle, mates, and stretch your oars; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1VWnFQXgTe
Contract your swelling sails, and luff to wind." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtK3Bke3Cli
The frighted crew perform the task assign'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPbKxrCiIW7
Then, to his fearless chief: "Not Heav'n," said he, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAn7jaBSHpy2
"Tho' Jove himself should promise Italy, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1qRpx76Xie
Can stem the torrent of this raging sea. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAapzp84XvxS
Mark how the shifting winds from west arise, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAoREkS0BxUT
And what collected night involves the skies! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaOD32ExJZ7
Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzj2c2iOJz2
Much less against the tempest force their way. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzZYCsAZVAP
'T is fate diverts our course, and fate we must obey. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEOsLsgWQ8p
Not far from hence, if I observ'd aright 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgRMdfgdIid
The southing of the stars, and polar light, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7HRVITJPVo
Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQdfRVnaAeI
In safety we may reach with struggling oars." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqhor1R3q5p
Aeneas then replied: "Too sure I find 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKl0ne7NehU
We strive in vain against the seas and wind: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWJvBAfqNQY
Now shift your sails; what place can please me more 892Please respect copyright.PENANAT9ZmBCHQw7
Than what you promise, the Sicilian shore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmp2ALsVsMF
Whose hallow'd earth Anchises' bones contains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWMa9w2tqYA
And where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns?" 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnKSzlJhhh7
The course resolv'd, before the western wind 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdAf2CQ90tq
They scud amain, and make the port assign'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAROzwh240Pg
Meantime Acestes, from a lofty stand, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAr9qDR8Uw1f
Beheld the fleet descending on the land; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAXoigF5k5xV
And, not unmindful of his ancient race, 892Please respect copyright.PENANABJEc4Gq6gg
Down from the cliff he ran with eager pace, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAYMngBpurMI
And held the hero in a strict embrace. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiY9yMfCEGq
Of a rough Libyan bear the spoils he wore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAI2xaXuRMQW
And either hand a pointed jav'lin bore. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAk88QJgvSCA
His mother was a dame of Dardan blood; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeM2l3SKvSD
His sire Crinisus, a Sicilian flood. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ145EBLUq
He welcomes his returning friends ashore 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdUayfBnmgj
With plenteous country cates and homely store. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQtCfGywjSf
Now, when the following morn had chas'd away 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8FTar7bVsM
The flying stars, and light restor'd the day, 892Please respect copyright.PENANARUdEtP4ueK
Aeneas call'd the Trojan troops around, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiK8AsAM98h
And thus bespoke them from a rising ground: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdmlhYKy1ve
"Offspring of heav'n, divine Dardanian race! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJvLFjLoVu2
The sun, revolving thro' th' ethereal space, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7HesJ9pGPL
The shining circle of the year has fill'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANABs5BcLcwhR
Since first this isle my father's ashes held: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVIRBuLYiyj
And now the rising day renews the year; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnzGvzVaGRK
A day for ever sad, for ever dear. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4mBFVkhcdL
This would I celebrate with annual games, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbgsRbR2B2e
With gifts on altars pil'd, and holy flames, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAp9Az8OvbFj
Tho' banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeUqRVamWmZ
Caught on the Grecian seas, or hostile lands: 892Please respect copyright.PENANACxUN1z2xNw
But since this happy storm our fleet has driv'n 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4V8JRyud5U
(Not, as I deem, without the will of Heav'n) 892Please respect copyright.PENANAr51lt94jMH
Upon these friendly shores and flow'ry plains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzEOyaBKxki
Which hide Anchises and his blest remains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANADjV013rOhf
Let us with joy perform his honors due, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFjd20Y8xbO
And pray for prosp'rous winds, our voyage to renew; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeBbT2QuR3T
Pray, that in towns and temples of our own, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7SUxtUi82d
The name of great Anchises may be known, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAo9dopZvEIb
And yearly games may spread the gods' renown. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAN7Sx2MK6yj
Our sports Acestes, of the Trojan race, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFKwDyvWk4n
With royal gifts ordain'd, is pleas'd to grace: 892Please respect copyright.PENANApUS7fTtxMX
Two steers on ev'ry ship the king bestows; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAC676GlCQDl
His gods and ours shall share your equal vows. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAymOC07kfmG
Besides, if, nine days hence, the rosy morn 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6z2pMvIwUU
Shall with unclouded light the skies adorn, 892Please respect copyright.PENANApk1Qexmj6n
That day with solemn sports I mean to grace: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1qPZ9wJjV
Light galleys on the seas shall run a wat'ry race; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMiymo18ZQM
Some shall in swiftness for the goal contend, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdSR07Ir6B9
And others try the twanging bow to bend; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAM3iDAAAsZx
The strong, with iron gauntlets arm'd, shall stand 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPFSdXIMKil
Oppos'd in combat on the yellow sand. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiUGZk2BDl5
Let all be present at the games prepar'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxNWkxd6FyN
And joyful victors wait the just reward. 892Please respect copyright.PENANABnZoy96sqP
But now assist the rites, with garlands crown'd." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAoco8fwW9h6
He said, and first his brows with myrtle bound. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnHurYLAlaO
Then Helymus, by his example led, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAp6MbwvdHYn
And old Acestes, each adorn'd his head; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7hObPO6Krn
Thus young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZvrkHXutV3
His temples tied, and all the Trojan race. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8nn8KkHvII
Aeneas then advanc'd amidst the train, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlq1BxYv0xa
By thousands follow'd thro' the flow'ry plain, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkXGDhwIHiX
To great Anchises' tomb; which when he found, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmR7vE4Dc9P
He pour'd to Bacchus, on the hallow'd ground, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5xGb2CEq2S
Two bowls of sparkling wine, of milk two more, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7UiyPymZyJ
And two (from offer'd bulls) of purple gore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdyiHPIqrgW
With roses then the sepulcher he strow'd 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPE7sApuALK
And thus his father's ghost bespoke aloud: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdoKRvQfrWl
"Hail, O ye holy manes! hail again, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHTGpsEkF8z
Paternal ashes, now review'd in vain! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyW2n4NCqtU
The gods permitted not, that you, with me, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbCBuzTAAeA
Should reach the promis'd shores of Italy, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzFyOvbDre4
Or Tiber's flood, what flood soe'er it be." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAObFrjmWfho
Scarce had he finish'd, when, with speckled pride, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6agw3uvyGj
A serpent from the tomb began to glide; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiTWaobT2qD
His hugy bulk on sev'n high volumes roll'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIqkBB3LK30
Blue was his breadth of back, but streak'd with scaly gold: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWYMOq1q9me
Thus riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass 892Please respect copyright.PENANARsEw6LOlGQ
A rolling fire along, and singe the grass. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5GdZq2yH7q
More various colors thro' his body run, 892Please respect copyright.PENANADmqqhCeDUe
Than Iris when her bow imbibes the sun. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjSgkoSEKhp
Betwixt the rising altars, and around, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyKKwVbkLUq
The sacred monster shot along the ground; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAf0j9qk0vmn
With harmless play amidst the bowls he pass'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAG8vkSaRh76
And with his lolling tongue assay'd the taste: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZmW6c5K2im
Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest 892Please respect copyright.PENANACY1awXGtrs
Within the hollow tomb retir'd to rest. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3dvDueo8XK
The pious prince, surpris'd at what he view'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqbu7Ubcxlv
The fun'ral honors with more zeal renew'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwjCFQ0HMbl
Doubtful if this place's genius were, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA18vaBtuztC
Or guardian of his father's sepulcher. 892Please respect copyright.PENANASCZJV6ndeq
Five sheep, according to the rites, he slew; 892Please respect copyright.PENANArLPmCpp1Qo
As many swine, and steers of sable hue; 892Please respect copyright.PENANADdhEepAyBa
New gen'rous wine he from the goblets pour'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANANRZG9AxolD
And call'd his father's ghost, from hell restor'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZbF2dVxijG
The glad attendants in long order come, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUnFFuxDOQ1
Off'ring their gifts at great Anchises' tomb: 892Please respect copyright.PENANACIKdzE4bPI
Some add more oxen: some divide the spoil; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkVcwODFCWW
Some place the chargers on the grassy soil; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABJNmj8pCM3
Some blow the fires, and off entrails broil. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ms4DFAMp5
Now came the day desir'd. The skies were bright 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPHdDc6rywu
With rosy luster of the rising light: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5rsJekVHm7
The bord'ring people, rous'd by sounding fame 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3ssKLu8zOl
Of Trojan feasts and great Acestes' name, 892Please respect copyright.PENANADgZKZ2HzYF
The crowded shore with acclamations fill, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOsQq8AHSlA
Part to behold, and part to prove their skill. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQGuwUkHfFY
And first the gifts in public view they place, 892Please respect copyright.PENANACvhYlFGTOu
Green laurel wreaths, and palm, the victors' grace: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAaBT2XHBvN
Within the circle, arms and tripods lie, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx4fwiO4tsN
Ingots of gold and silver, heap'd on high, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAkCIMRAtVh
And vests embroider'd, of the Tyrian dye. 892Please respect copyright.PENANArtKULmfe7B
The trumpet's clangor then the feast proclaims, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA41q05TlbA2
And all prepare for their appointed games. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKVbwU7qi0a
Four galleys first, which equal rowers bear, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xhxpq4FxH
Advancing, in the wat'ry lists appear. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5cRpIimkmi
The speedy Dolphin, that outstrips the wind, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAvRWYZsfub
Bore Mnestheus, author of the Memmian kind: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlvqmx25aDs
Gyas the vast Chimaera's bulk commands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2V1JCUVoUp
Which rising, like a tow'ring city stands; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzmnn4Itu1r
Three Trojans tug at ev'ry lab'ring oar; 892Please respect copyright.PENANADpJWPYp9eP
Three banks in three degrees the sailors bore; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWqQzXuPBuE
Beneath their sturdy strokes the billows roar. 892Please respect copyright.PENANASD7rvmjlwG
Sergesthus, who began the Sergian race, 892Please respect copyright.PENANALLRM7Lm0Lt
In the great Centaur took the leading place; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJHHb3Vt4rU
Cloanthus on the sea-green Scylla stood, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAL0TvIgWYAs
From whom Cluentius draws his Trojan blood. 892Please respect copyright.PENANALAV24IXBDo
Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANABwXWUJzf1c
There stands a rock: the raging billows roar 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGtj5SFNQy3
Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5rn4WUPcqF
Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8irngWzwI
In peace below the gentle waters run; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKDGX3d17nJ
The cormorants above lie basking in the sun. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlJnSWKcvkf
On this the hero fix'd an oak in sight, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxWDydp3j66
The mark to guide the mariners aright. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9pJh1eBMp3
To bear with this, the seamen stretch their oars; 892Please respect copyright.PENANASRSoEgSyV7
Then round the rock they steer, and seek the former shores. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvDG11TothE
The lots decide their place. Above the rest, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFOesMIrvZt
Each leader shining in his Tyrian vest; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiF80xxKXfY
The common crew with wreaths of poplar boughs 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeMNi60Phd4
Their temples crown, and shade their sweaty brows: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9pkWbUJjLO
Besmear'd with oil, their naked shoulders shine. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcRAK6osd7a
All take their seats, and wait the sounding sign: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFD0x0Nt5pL
They gripe their oars; and ev'ry panting breast 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZuA3OBPIoD
Is rais'd by turns with hope, by turns with fear depress'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgMRXuEBqtP
The clangor of the trumpet gives the sign; 892Please respect copyright.PENANADGO1SOqhuP
At once they start, advancing in a line: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zrh30qtaK
With shouts the sailors rend the starry skies; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7nTyASbrUX
Lash'd with their oars, the smoky billows rise; 892Please respect copyright.PENANASrnOjVTo86
Sparkles the briny main, and the vex'd ocean fries. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAd9ez95vdTJ
Exact in time, with equal strokes they row: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAqOhzRYmBs
At once the brushing oars and brazen prow 892Please respect copyright.PENANAT33wqz5wtb
Dash up the sandy waves, and ope the depths below. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVRdQ5OVCM4
Not fiery coursers, in a chariot race, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA17ZQaX5bay
Invade the field with half so swift a pace; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsbpRj3jtYE
Not the fierce driver with more fury lends 892Please respect copyright.PENANAi07DJRchJc
The sounding lash, and, ere the stroke descends, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfgtyVdtUmw
Low to the wheels his pliant body bends. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxAJbXzShBn
The partial crowd their hopes and fears divide, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsvDUGTWbuB
And aid with eager shouts the favor'd side. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAufVs1vkEnV
Cries, murmurs, clamors, with a mixing sound, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlcOhZ3T2CC
From woods to woods, from hills to hills rebound. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAShbL2E0gCi
Amidst the loud applauses of the shore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZYsOOjfzTD
Gyas outstripp'd the rest, and sprung before: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAs2jEUfRgDI
Cloanthus, better mann'd, pursued him fast, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6SAXg89LT4
But his o'er-masted galley check'd his haste. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHwRqVsIFN5
The Centaur and the Dolphin brush the brine 892Please respect copyright.PENANAykkpsZuBpU
With equal oars, advancing in a line; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdFUnQjZHB2
And now the mighty Centaur seems to lead, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAQWDyQmHUl
And now the speedy Dolphin gets ahead; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaAp2L0bdB8
Now board to board the rival vessels row, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAN9bzBXG2tL
The billows lave the skies, and ocean groans below. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAk6YfagqqKB
They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train 892Please respect copyright.PENANAd6dl0ZWAvc
In triumph rode, the victors of the main; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA93rgBZ96oi
But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot stand 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjU2xxtj9PZ
More close to shore, and skim along the sand- 892Please respect copyright.PENANATYEDug6Tbj
"Let others bear to sea!" Menoetes heard; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZF3za0mHii
But secret shelves too cautiously he fear'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmhWRKbT5Qw
And, fearing, sought the deep; and still aloof he steer'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqNlP1WNmZ8
With louder cries the captain call'd again: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEpGTNdcNEL
"Bear to the rocky shore, and shun the main." 892Please respect copyright.PENANANXXjU2mLEV
He spoke, and, speaking, at his stern he saw 892Please respect copyright.PENANAN1QJYA75ij
The bold Cloanthus near the shelvings draw. 892Please respect copyright.PENANARitXGxOBTf
Betwixt the mark and him the Scylla stood, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAoDAAHbFDqc
And in a closer compass plow'd the flood. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzprQh3lXmn
He pass'd the mark; and, wheeling, got before: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAM7tDO8HAbf
Gyas blasphem'd the gods, devoutly swore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdQipQdXbQi
Cried out for anger, and his hair he tore. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzQodGNul6L
Mindless of others' lives (so high was grown 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZTBjFbAVQM
His rising rage) and careless of his own, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlf2vmeTZmb
The trembling dotard to the deck he drew; 892Please respect copyright.PENANANqzbKPBpx4
Then hoisted up, and overboard he threw: 892Please respect copyright.PENANARb9NlTZp1f
This done, he seiz'd the helm; his fellows cheer'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkHwWsNRq2t
Turn'd short upon the shelfs, and madly steer'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANALTPYiuDK7V
Hardly his head the plunging pilot rears, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQVnluOSMpk
Clogg'd with his clothes, and cumber'd with his years: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMNlne7aqHS
Now dropping wet, he climbs the cliff with pain. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6hyslMEshU
The crowd, that saw him fall and float again, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0zQ3m7DNEz
Shout from the distant shore; and loudly laugh'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAisM5YiqB1y
To see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draught. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nvj98ITwt
The following Centaur, and the Dolphin's crew, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9uiHMMjsjd
Their vanish'd hopes of victory renew; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsZP3J0FTha
While Gyas lags, they kindle in the race, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwhY0O4f0sa
To reach the mark. Sergesthus takes the place; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7fPn5sx3Pz
Mnestheus pursues; and while around they wind, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEFO2NoaMci
Comes up, not half his galley's length behind; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVbILnNspZq
Then, on the deck, amidst his mates appear'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJMsT2tIsg0
And thus their drooping courage he cheer'd: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9K9I1rggHM
"My friends, and Hector's followers heretofore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPMlhMkYU4v
Exert your vigor; tug the lab'ring oar; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvijqd6XAui
Stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzwp37ztVmc
Whom from the flaming walls of Troy I drew. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAee3Sd96v19
In this, our common int'rest, let me find 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWaipwFV42a
That strength of hand, that courage of the mind, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4nMKhkf1e4
As when you stemm'd the strong Malean flood, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmIZUHo32OQ
And o'er the Syrtes' broken billows row'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAI9iPVzo9MS
I seek not now the foremost palm to gain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWeKjEW27UW
Tho' yet- but, ah! that haughty wish is vain! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAk3b5PHiWsX
Let those enjoy it whom the gods ordain. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmw8bduZnF1
But to be last, the lags of all the race!- 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPnb4oRRqYT
Redeem yourselves and me from that disgrace." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFdUFCY22hU
Now, one and all, they tug amain; they row 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgoEMFSUb5y
At the full stretch, and shake the brazen prow. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxm4m8EUFFQ
The sea beneath 'em sinks; their lab'ring sides 892Please respect copyright.PENANADjGLR4Fkr6
Are swell'd, and sweat runs gutt'ring down in tides. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPwx7hNV41p
Chance aids their daring with unhop'd success; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABzxkcQltzC
Sergesthus, eager with his beak to press 892Please respect copyright.PENANApguKwpSETi
Betwixt the rival galley and the rock, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmpRXvYlhGt
Shuts up th' unwieldly Centaur in the lock. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeeSsqIzpdX
The vessel struck; and, with the dreadful shock, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4vj2Q04p9o
Her oars she shiver'd, and her head she broke. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdlCUz4kAQh
The trembling rowers from their banks arise, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAss7m0SAzzD
And, anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. 892Please respect copyright.PENANADqFl7ZSerK
With iron poles they heave her off the shores, 892Please respect copyright.PENANASFwfre483Y
And gather from the sea their floating oars. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ6VZJ4rNg
The crew of Mnestheus, with elated minds, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAXcOOepZvPK
Urge their success, and call the willing winds; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1OD3MzQUli
Then ply their oars, and cut their liquid way 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4RLAOdNHdb
In larger compass on the roomy sea. 892Please respect copyright.PENANARLoMTBcYmT
As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVIlsd1Pa9P
Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAXoyd15qqK0
The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAphu41psqJs
And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAXPvFzDUMH4
At first she flutters; but at length she springs 892Please respect copyright.PENANAG9g7zpF53k
To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx0DIWjDXzP
So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAf7HJxocaCt
And, flying with a force, that force assists his way. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmfQptpSqXR
Sergesthus in the Centaur soon he pass'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4DsdAttk0H
Wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAasgqVWdojD
In vain the victor he with cries implores, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8ypBDT6LMB
And practices to row with shatter'd oars. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzSfmcQ99aD
Then Mnestheus bears with Gyas, and outflies: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPegSommBhA
The ship, without a pilot, yields the prize. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfDZLyHlmiI
Unvanquish'd Scylla now alone remains; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5SsMu9WimH
Her he pursues, and all his vigor strains. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfa8u8CH6bS
Shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAESLLcHhIdz
Applauding Echo to the shouts replies; 892Please respect copyright.PENANACjgtK741de
Shouts, wishes, and applause run rattling thro' the skies. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfdYwJy6oft
These clamors with disdain the Scylla heard, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAU3MYfe3K4c
Much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKBxLJGtvSu
Resolv'd to hold their own, they mend their pace, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqS8YsIxDDV
All obstinate to die, or gain the race. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA25LVSreJ8V
Rais'd with success, the Dolphin swiftly ran; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGmcXVMNDZh
For they can conquer, who believe they can. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHUAn9ZYIXX
Both urge their oars, and fortune both supplies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVqqzjIfUEW
And both perhaps had shar'd an equal prize; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaBj7xQx5tb
When to the seas Cloanthus holds his hands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZoQYURAEGb
And succor from the wat'ry pow'rs demands: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAocquZBxHEb
"Gods of the liquid realms, on which I row! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAF6AERpsjNo
If, giv'n by you, the laurel bind my brow, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxWfsyRZFR1
Assist to make me guilty of my vow! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmf74cahEh6
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsTr7i5jw3q
His offer'd entrails cast into the main, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIrmdHO0vx2
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOuamdy8TfA
Your grateful gift and my return shall own." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAriKYaAzJ5Q
The choir of nymphs, and Phorcus, from below, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAR8jaHvhHDX
With virgin Panopea, heard his vow; 892Please respect copyright.PENANANMjxgTROOF
And old Portunus, with his breadth of hand, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2Z70xPXJy
Push'd on, and sped the galley to the land. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAb5t2oEYIFB
Swift as a shaft, or winged wind, she flies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOXEs5SFOUE
And, darting to the port, obtains the prize. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4V0Im0J5Ce
The herald summons all, and then proclaims 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOgiMTeFgKd
Cloanthus conqu'ror of the naval games. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA25NOjEDQTo
The prince with laurel crowns the victor's head, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9AvyAa2tX9
And three fat steers are to his vessel led, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHzqbj5whLC
The ship's reward; with gen'rous wine beside, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZZyev1w6Lr
And sums of silver, which the crew divide. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOhiyRcLbEr
The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAK2RO5CYUTc
The victor honor'd with a nobler vest, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgXqRwZMDr1
Where gold and purple strive in equal rows, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1wHRWPqFOW
And needlework its happy cost bestows. 892Please respect copyright.PENANASHTu2ZUpNO
There Ganymede is wrought with living art, 892Please respect copyright.PENANANVKDFc0NhT
Chasing thro' Ida's groves the trembling hart: 892Please respect copyright.PENANASkrGNaxwVS
Breathless he seems, yet eager to pursue; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFeJSRQNDyR
When from aloft descends, in open view, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsy779nn4P9
The bird of Jove, and, sousing on his prey, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAB4pBFp9b9d
With crooked talons bears the boy away. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAD1y2jAsSyV
In vain, with lifted hands and gazing eyes, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZHx1NiJMNh
His guards behold him soaring thro' the skies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWxO49ISYSp
And dogs pursue his flight with imitated cries. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiGqjmerWUz
Mnestheus the second victor was declar'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJDrlYBSklh
And, summon'd there, the second prize he shard. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfbZZNNZSvV
A coat of mail, brave Demoleus bore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1GRzubgDJ2
More brave Aeneas from his shoulders tore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgRyLEr6fPf
In single combat on the Trojan shore: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyVEUanlGkz
This was ordain'd for Mnestheus to possess; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeucW2Topli
In war for his defense, for ornament in peace. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAm0BFZAlYop
Rich was the gift, and glorious to behold, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0RYhK2S8Tf
But yet so pond'rous with its plates of gold, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnscad2xNSd
That scarce two servants could the weight sustain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkWodjzmZcg
Yet, loaded thus, Demoleus o'er the plain 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdAzXKznKiz
Pursued and lightly seiz'd the Trojan train. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxWsYryFTDz
The third, succeeding to the last reward, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAw5BQ4WLiew
Two goodly bowls of massy silver shar'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4TjURMiFqm
With figures prominent, and richly wrought, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkapyLCbK2J
And two brass caldrons from Dodona brought. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIGVGGdWM7J
Thus all, rewarded by the hero's hands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAH7eGeuyxCH
Their conqu'ring temples bound with purple bands; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5DFZ6Uh2At
And now Sergesthus, clearing from the rock, 892Please respect copyright.PENANALd9ouESrOf
Brought back his galley shatter'd with the shock. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAf6ImUBpVdK
Forlorn she look'd, without an aiding oar, 892Please respect copyright.PENANASqqoRcYFZX
And, houted by the vulgar, made to shore. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5232JJAYVM
As when a snake, surpris'd upon the road, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiZG28mfMbZ
Is crush'd athwart her body by the load 892Please respect copyright.PENANAH7jzGAgAvm
Of heavy wheels; or with a mortal wound 892Please respect copyright.PENANAoUnPfhvdq3
Her belly bruis'd, and trodden to the ground: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfX1SM7LmlL
In vain, with loosen'd curls, she crawls along; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZhQ1xwctvO
Yet, fierce above, she brandishes her tongue; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgYm2DXQDOu
Glares with her eyes, and bristles with her scales; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwqcITDp6x5
But, groveling in the dust, her parts unsound she trails: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4pYbZRBS8y
So slowly to the port the Centaur tends, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgTvhLcHmxc
But, what she wants in oars, with sails amends. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVHqtjqsTP0
Yet, for his galley sav'd, the grateful prince 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhk9CYY5wSG
Is pleas'd th' unhappy chief to recompense. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxuIBEeeZqW
Pholoe, the Cretan slave, rewards his care, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzulbEYJvTT
Beauteous herself, with lovely twins as fair. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAv6MuewaxCe
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2EF1Q8uvzO
Into the neighb'ring plain, with mountains pent, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzf3mZE1LW6
Whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcBl4SccNF9
Full in the midst of this fair valley stood 892Please respect copyright.PENANABUMXEOe9WN
A native theater, which, rising slow 892Please respect copyright.PENANApWvVT9KYWl
By just degrees, o'erlook'd the ground below. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hsue53iSY
High on a sylvan throne the leader sate; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEWymdTkrhY
A num'rous train attend in solemn state. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA23Xz5P89JZ
Here those that in the rapid course delight, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUgALhigoUn
Desire of honor and the prize invite. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAYa0pvX9rAB
The rival runners without order stand; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMpq0KBotNP
The Trojans mix'd with the Sicilian band. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtPLVDqRqfR
First Nisus, with Euryalus, appears; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkx3b8eIsGg
Euryalus a boy of blooming years, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAge7dpyGzIX
With sprightly grace and equal beauty crown'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABNOZedFKQt
Nisus, for friendship to the youth renown'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcewadSLWAm
Diores next, of Priam's royal race, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyV5PsXw0G2
Then Salius joined with Patron, took their place; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwE2eljX8TX
(But Patron in Arcadia had his birth, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfiq4OvU99P
And Salius his from Arcananian earth;) 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQnlhtNHLHb
Then two Sicilian youths- the names of these, 892Please respect copyright.PENANALzXmkogfh3
Swift Helymus, and lovely Panopes: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1sISdf4smF
Both jolly huntsmen, both in forest bred, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6o1YdgKyW
And owning old Acestes for their head; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAD14YX1bKKg
With sev'ral others of ignobler name, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKu6YsVBfeU
Whom time has not deliver'd o'er to fame. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Osehlurp
To these the hero thus his thoughts explain'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdE8ZJ0z5qP
In words which gen'ral approbation gain'd: 892Please respect copyright.PENANACVJGXVvwfd
"One common largess is for all design'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAr5vrxXWNdo
(The vanquish'd and the victor shall be join'd,) 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1vHkKtbVN
Two darts of polish'd steel and Gnosian wood, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGyt2Mkq5JP
A silver-studded ax, alike bestow'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmyVfT33GIf
The foremost three have olive wreaths decreed: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7NERKkkn4V
The first of these obtains a stately steed, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAP2p3ZmOTrV
Adorn'd with trappings; and the next in fame, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOoo8chlMm0
The quiver of an Amazonian dame, 892Please respect copyright.PENANARP3NZWj0GC
With feather'd Thracian arrows well supplied: 892Please respect copyright.PENANASxeJSs1kQp
A golden belt shall gird his manly side, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMlgRh43YXg
Which with a sparkling diamond shall be tied. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAuYBsGNyCwZ
The third this Grecian helmet shall content." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzywaIlHw4H
He said. To their appointed base they went; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5OuI15gQOV
With beating hearts th' expected sign receive, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFSj6ATifjZ
And, starting all at once, the barrier leave. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKsX7wFQkIN
Spread out, as on the winged winds, they flew, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0CPRHp6mp3
And seiz'd the distant goal with greedy view. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAU2WdTksqIJ
Shot from the crowd, swift Nisus all o'erpass'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANACguZovQ1TE
Nor storms, nor thunder, equal half his haste. 892Please respect copyright.PENANARZUL9Qd8dO
The next, but tho' the next, yet far disjoin'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWS1qRAsFbz
Came Salius, and Euryalus behind; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPkY0b7K1tD
Then Helymus, whom young Diores plied, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvNHpgbA3PK
Step after step, and almost side by side, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQvsmQcTMmD
His shoulders pressing; and, in longer space, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdhGe82dZZF
Had won, or left at least a dubious race. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAramwBkjuAv
Now, spent, the goal they almost reach at last, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEU69mDXyAo
When eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zujli1pQA
Slipp'd first, and, slipping, fell upon the plain, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWuZ3G6hehZ
Soak'd with the blood of oxen newly slain. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvKq80gM2pt
The careless victor had not mark'd his way; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4LjEFHMBZC
But, treading where the treach'rous puddle lay, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZMT2IjAyK0
His heels flew up; and on the grassy floor 892Please respect copyright.PENANACDStV2bvfH
He fell, besmear'd with filth and holy gore. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAv36U5TTetB
Not mindless then, Euryalus, of thee, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAU0YnUJjQvI
Nor of the sacred bonds of amity, 892Please respect copyright.PENANACSVaR8uCDE
He strove th' immediate rival's hope to cross, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6wUBWWKJvZ
And caught the foot of Salius as he rose. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKADZKJ7wQa
So Salius lay extended on the plain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfRPfHEJG3W
Euryalus springs out, the prize to gain, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAy5STP6RAY7
And leaves the crowd: applauding peals attend 892Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Ej2NlxuL
The victor to the goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmdXZCxZw9G
Next Helymus; and then Diores came, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqyjGZ3cl8i
By two misfortunes made the third in fame. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAm3A3rRJ2Nr
But Salius enters, and, exclaiming loud 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwm7mr5Uh3j
For justice, deafens and disturbs the crowd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA00PlfdPtft
Urges his cause may in the court be heard; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAspZW18RDYx
And pleads the prize is wrongfully conferr'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjpvwqisySo
But favor for Euryalus appears; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAi7g3Wn5zys
His blooming beauty, with his tender tears, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ8ZiklfTp
Had brib'd the judges for the promis'd prize. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9VcoFUsrVf
Besides, Diores fills the court with cries, 892Please respect copyright.PENANALD3vb7ttIU
Who vainly reaches at the last reward, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAILR0NILEmx
If the first palm on Salius be conferr'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZlkvlljkQu
Then thus the prince: "Let no disputes arise: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8KDK0Z2qtD
Where fortune plac'd it, I award the prize. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtckjkhu3Jt
But fortune's errors give me leave to mend, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOgRGA4i1Iu
At least to pity my deserving friend." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjUb6dEyVQW
He said, and, from among the spoils, he draws 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsduUb8EHGE
(Pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws) 892Please respect copyright.PENANAG8J6mH0LOz
A lion's hide: to Salius this he gives. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVplTNXCeih
Nisus with envy sees the gift, and grieves. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAK92F4ctFg
"If such rewards to vanquish'd men are due." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAuthxTfIN8p
He said, "and falling is to rise by you, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAy75rD1ugQr
What prize may Nisus from your bounty claim, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAK80V4W2fhJ
Who merited the first rewards and fame? 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkjocgRTwQE
In falling, both an equal fortune tried; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAK0zGcBinl
Would fortune for my fall so well provide!" 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4QlgjzZvjn
With this he pointed to his face, and show'd 892Please respect copyright.PENANABjjfjiBgYW
His hand and all his habit smear'd with blood. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAm2s5TEtlzL
Th' indulgent father of the people smil'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQUAMPvhYRo
And caus'd to be produc'd an ample shield, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAuwhiVkl6ru
Of wondrous art, by Didymaon wrought, 892Please respect copyright.PENANADAVnaxgf6h
Long since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAotwOOwmJV2
This giv'n to Nisus, he divides the rest, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAA5aO9YtjbA
And equal justice in his gifts express'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAePDCa3hv57
The race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAME1Jy4QwFH
Once more the princes bespeaks th' attentive crowd: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAK9F2926nTd
"If there he here whose dauntless courage dare 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkBj5fyXlnh
In gauntlet-fight, with limbs and body bare, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeMvxohHk3s
His opposite sustain in open view, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAT2R8mL9wdq
Stand forth the champion, and the games renew. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAb5etdyvUdj
Two prizes I propose, and thus divide: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAW78kS9D5gG
A bull with gilded horns, and fillets tied, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAu5qdlqScrj
Shall be the portion of the conqu'ring chief; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQ618PUWAn0
A sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief." 892Please respect copyright.PENANADxtmtZOb8d
Then haughty Dares in the lists appears; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVxiEA5aNck
Stalking he strides, his head erected bears: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAn6hlLBSJ2x
His nervous arms the weighty gauntlet wield, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAE3yE7UvJZS
And loud applauses echo thro' the field. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIcFy9EBjJD
Dares alone in combat us'd to stand 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVEF9e4R2g2
The match of mighty Paris, hand to hand; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABBtLpNjxmc
The same, at Hector's fun'rals, undertook 892Please respect copyright.PENANAI7QOX1W3QB
Gigantic Butes, of th' Amycian stock, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3MKBhMdz9G
And, by the stroke of his resistless hand, 892Please respect copyright.PENANARzqafazme7
Stretch'd the vast bulk upon the yellow sand. 892Please respect copyright.PENANApO8p29MfSD
Such Dares was; and such he strode along, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA22O0i3NhgU
And drew the wonder of the gazing throng. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAG7AM76xc4f
His brawny back and ample breast he shows, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAD2JSjzx225
His lifted arms around his head he throws, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcmHb5LNuPn
And deals in whistling air his empty blows. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgCLYRzIvum
His match is sought; but, thro' the trembling band, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsAiB4RTpqP
Not one dares answer to the proud demand. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJg8HZl229A
Presuming of his force, with sparkling eyes 892Please respect copyright.PENANACbciGPxW43
Already he devours the promis'd prize. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZV9sI8bEuh
He claims the bull with awless insolence, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIALcyNy8Hw
And having seiz'd his horns, accosts the prince: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4gBlSz4xvk
"If none my matchless valor dares oppose, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbdGPVLY9Gt
How long shall Dares wait his dastard foes? 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhaYyDxeSoX
Permit me, chief, permit without delay, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7gS789j7JR
To lead this uncontended gift away." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWhfLxJBDtd
The crowd assents, and with redoubled cries 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOCQjEsGckJ
For the proud challenger demands the prize. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjM5JywQcmP
Acestes, fir'd with just disdain, to see 892Please respect copyright.PENANAureSro9Pk0
The palm usurp'd without a victory, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZErwILdDSS
Reproach'd Entellus thus, who sate beside, 892Please respect copyright.PENANARgdHDNupx2
And heard and saw, unmov'd, the Trojan's pride: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaysMgUrdTu
"Once, but in vain, a champion of renown, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFqT0v21LDo
So tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAa9JdYHdMvx
A prize in triumph borne before your sight, 892Please respect copyright.PENANASaQeAFhPT8
And shun, for fear, the danger of the fight? 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiroxcaeXyb
Where is our Eryx now, the boasted name, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAera7RTEAc9
The god who taught your thund'ring arm the game? 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiJnXsphYWo
Where now your baffled honor? Where the spoil 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWuAFPwzgEj
That fill'd your house, and fame that fill'd our isle?" 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3pBPCovZTY
Entellus, thus: "My soul is still the same, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAYF71Hkkbsr
Unmov'd with fear, and mov'd with martial fame; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQZidcHy49g
But my chill blood is curdled in my veins, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zavb3t46a
And scarce the shadow of a man remains. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAt5TdZW8bLb
O could I turn to that fair prime again, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAU5yqgFvmkf
That prime of which this boaster is so vain, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdUCfabkYMN
The brave, who this decrepid age defies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAP1tSEiPUNW
Should feel my force, without the promis'd prize." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPe3Nbwo8KV
He said; and, rising at the word, he threw 892Please respect copyright.PENANADwmQJlJlL3
Two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAC06TYeXCWO
Gauntlets which Eryx wont in fight to wield, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyPIUYvKCxa
And sheathe his hands with in the listed field. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjcWdBxDlM2
With fear and wonder seiz'd, the crowd beholds 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhuRSZlWBuM
The gloves of death, with sev'n distinguish'd folds 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbdc7oP05S9
Of tough bull hides; the space within is spread 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvLC1SLmqaK
With iron, or with loads of heavy lead: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfkP8hQGNYw
Dares himself was daunted at the sight, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeDClGV1skL
Renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd to fight. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGJIB8kj3Tj
Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9DbiKhIwwY
And pois'd the pond'rous engines in his hands. 892Please respect copyright.PENANApvQrRo0SaS
"What had your wonder," said Entellus, "been, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAU08Bt56jac
Had you the gauntlets of Alcides seen, 892Please respect copyright.PENANApKeUT8079n
Or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green! 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1OVdNdNTYb
These which I bear your brother Eryx bore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7H03Qaevg8
Still mark'd with batter'd brains and mingled gore. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3My0OoCBKw
With these he long sustain'd th' Herculean arm; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiHtfYI9moF
And these I wielded while my blood was warm, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdilYaweV68
This languish'd frame while better spirits fed, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJmrABH9O0h
Ere age unstrung my nerves, or time o'ersnow'd my head. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsDxEIX9dEa
But if the challenger these arms refuse, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4pB8rBI1LU
And cannot wield their weight, or dare not use; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiULoRxB6lY
If great Aeneas and Acestes join 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAn1hhM9RTQ
In his request, these gauntlets I resign; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzrqseJslSf
Let us with equal arms perform the fight, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA78elJ5xHfm
And let him leave to fear, since I resign my right." 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0ulcWW0H2p
This said, Entellus for the strife prepares; 892Please respect copyright.PENANANlxL1Ny2Oh
Stripp'd of his quilted coat, his body bares; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjfLuQ4jJQU
Compos'd of mighty bones and brawn he stands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqNdzfeZIXE
A goodly tow'ring object on the sands. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqkzeUWCTv0
Then just Aeneas equal arms supplied, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5zaW6Y0sgm
Which round their shoulders to their wrists they tied. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5E0o16xRDk
Both on the tiptoe stand, at full extent, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2qkroHGmsd
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3D4ATAlxN0
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbIWLRnwX5n
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtDEFVi12wy
One on his youth and pliant limbs relies; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHCAoo9KPHC
One on his sinews and his giant size. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAflp4V8hX09
The last is stiff with age, his motion slow; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAU4pKak0gZk
He heaves for breath, he staggers to and fro, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmtubam2KFc
And clouds of issuing smoke his nostrils loudly blow. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUWyJB7JAtL
Yet equal in success, they ward, they strike; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfv35A5D95m
Their ways are diff'rent, but their art alike. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqcnenTlcJm
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around 892Please respect copyright.PENANAc2IVGgnfEl
Their hollow sides the rattling thumps resound. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMtTwbk2iEz
A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9P5mWk0MUC
And errs about their temples, ears, and eyes. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAb0LCqjjuBl
Nor always errs; for oft the gauntlet draws 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfjfXKpoFVS
A sweeping stroke along the crackling jaws. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAe69a3gRkC
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPgPmtKUNQL
But with his warping body wards the wound. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA12nRZ0nvoF
His hand and watchful eye keep even pace; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAY6Dp3wY2LW
While Dares traverses and shifts his place, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6bXMbfCeae
And, like a captain who beleaguers round 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5BJGSmkJu2
Some strong-built castle on a rising ground, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA17KRwVvzgC
Views all th' approaches with observing eyes: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGeabNEttL6
This and that other part in vain he tries, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wkus6VY33
And more on industry than force relies. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAESbB8ngnYc
With hands on high, Entellus threats the foe; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAun0N1nUjCF
But Dares watch'd the motion from below, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVC1MiYTwsi
And slipp'd aside, and shunn'd the long descending blow. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyLperYdbeS
Entellus wastes his forces on the wind, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAK4JPyzmHGn
And, thus deluded of the stroke design'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmM97vZPtmR
Headlong and heavy fell; his ample breast 892Please respect copyright.PENANAY45hnE9RfX
And weighty limbs his ancient mother press'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjudQPmu3hm
So falls a hollow pine, that long had stood 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZt1cm4RL9a
On Ida's height, or Erymanthus' wood, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyuJYBlor5t
Torn from the roots. The diff'ring nations rise, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhSMm0MZLYZ
And shouts and mingled murmurs rend the skies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQp3Ir0a6Kf
Acestus runs with eager haste, to raise 892Please respect copyright.PENANALWsFc7p1XM
The fall'n companion of his youthful days. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAb1M0c2V93l
Dauntless he rose, and to the fight return'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAav6A5IIQWu
With shame his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury burn'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlHdz79U5MF
Disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0sRp6yMXWz
And with redoubled force his foe he press'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAARzse3x8n2
He lays on load with either hand, amain, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAD8HKsMjZru
And headlong drives the Trojan o'er the plain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0ZkvRMv4D
Nor stops, nor stays; nor rest nor breath allows; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyKhgbvMvGZ
But storms of strokes descend about his brows, 892Please respect copyright.PENANANlZHp5420V
A rattling tempest, and a hail of blows. 892Please respect copyright.PENANALKQ8YQaN5H
But now the prince, who saw the wild increase 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx3ttSc6q8g
Of wounds, commands the combatants to cease, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAErXNmLvOft
And bounds Entellus' wrath, and bids the peace. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA29riPbeo62
First to the Trojan, spent with toil, he came, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8pVFVMclB0
And sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyAXdi83nv0
"What fury seiz'd my friend? The gods," said he, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIMLvaaNaGE
"To him propitious, and averse to thee, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2ydTUhXG9a
Have giv'n his arm superior force to thine. 892Please respect copyright.PENANADwRxriWVbp
'T is madness to contend with strength divine." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjvu4iUTh31
The gauntlet fight thus ended, from the shore 892Please respect copyright.PENANApqPDVeEDXl
His faithful friends unhappy Dares bore: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWvR1KvLI5d
His mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKrYE1KXRga
And pounded teeth came rushing with his blood. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsMQHulcxQb
Faintly he stagger'd thro' the hissing throng, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4O8wxHqOum
And hung his head, and trail'd his legs along. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAq4jWe8OU9y
The sword and casque are carried by his train; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtKmW1VSdel
But with his foe the palm and ox remain. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAoyHtMdTxi7
The champion, then, before Aeneas came, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5YBkNNMi17
Proud of his prize, but prouder of his fame: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAA6cQCdE3aV
"O goddess-born, and you, Dardanian host, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAp5IWPAlC8v
Mark with attention, and forgive my boast; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA22p9BdOyuc
Learn what I was, by what remains; and know 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeveQoE7pdD
From what impending fate you sav'd my foe." 892Please respect copyright.PENANANTk2zI0m1r
Sternly he spoke, and then confronts the bull; 892Please respect copyright.PENANALUIOcb97Sw
And, on his ample forehead aiming full, 892Please respect copyright.PENANASnVP6RSCkH
The deadly stroke, descending, pierc'd the skull. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqPWclHqfoG
Down drops the beast, nor needs a second wound, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcPq42ciyAr
But sprawls in pangs of death, and spurns the ground. 892Please respect copyright.PENANATq5auX2IVI
Then, thus: "In Dares' stead I offer this. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfAadl8aHug
Eryx, accept a nobler sacrifice; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzGbyCHOrYN
Take the last gift my wither'd arms can yield: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmUWeqL8ouJ
Thy gauntlets I resign, and here renounce the field." 892Please respect copyright.PENANANdrnTbLlwF
This done, Aeneas orders, for the close, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkATMx2LvWf
The strife of archers with contending bows. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQBgzIeoiwm
The mast Sergesthus' shatter'd galley bore 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxoV5jhTn3f
With his own hands he raises on the shore. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxHMGVhungC
A flutt'ring dove upon the top they tie, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhDAXypnQXV
The living mark at which their arrows fly. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAygAcHjUNs1
The rival archers in a line advance, 892Please respect copyright.PENANApA7faxGi7P
Their turn of shooting to receive from chance. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJUm3eEKX8I
A helmet holds their names; the lots are drawn: 892Please respect copyright.PENANABBO9STyti8
On the first scroll was read Hippocoon. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAuawZOGFQmV
The people shout. Upon the next was found 892Please respect copyright.PENANAb4UJ5fsn6c
Young Mnestheus, late with naval honors crown'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFOPwnjpwvx
The third contain'd Eurytion's noble name, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJhRwpXhnfL
Thy brother, Pandarus, and next in fame, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsZrdMxT6as
Whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound, 892Please respect copyright.PENANATfYqyKieGE
And send among the Greeks a feather'd wound. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAor3jyzv9gt
Acestes in the bottom last remain'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6BLP8nEbJA
Whom not his age from youthful sports restrain'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOSL6PQTuJS
Soon all with vigor bend their trusty bows, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAO303vD8Ud4
And from the quiver each his arrow chose. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzamaMBQG2E
Hippocoon's was the first: with forceful sway 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGsCoLYdylb
It flew, and, whizzing, cut the liquid way. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUXek2TeRxW
Fix'd in the mast the feather'd weapon stands: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfFhoIFkuja
The fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPidrYUU5fX
And the tree trembled, and the shouting cries 892Please respect copyright.PENANASlAkWmUWJl
Of the pleas'd people rend the vaulted skies. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJV1v8WjXf6
Then Mnestheus to the head his arrow drove, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgkHiokc60S
With lifted eyes, and took his aim above, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqizrFHWLlJ
But made a glancing shot, and missed the dove; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIf3p15t6fg
Yet miss'd so narrow, that he cut the cord 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqBLkDu9f7l
Which fasten'd by the foot the flitting bird. 892Please respect copyright.PENANABuJipOjLGG
The captive thus releas'd, away she flies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ49sOMW7y
And beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnxXQVXHRQi
His bow already bent, Eurytion stood; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABlM0ObAVYO
And, having first invok'd his brother god, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMkFxjAoRV6
His winged shaft with eager haste he sped. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAF5aqPwWcwQ
The fatal message reach'd her as she fled: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOlWAsG19R5
She leaves her life aloft; she strikes the ground, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIEy45Hy6SK
And renders back the weapon in the wound. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2jUmDAjOdk
Acestes, grudging at his lot, remains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmjBgW3gTIk
Without a prize to gratify his pains. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUECcuuNfhV
Yet, shooting upward, sends his shaft, to show 892Please respect copyright.PENANAr7ah2ZC4sO
An archer's art, and boast his twanging bow. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAD8sc6JKdKr
The feather'd arrow gave a dire portent, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3kUiDmsiJq
And latter augurs judge from this event. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA11zr2mhk9S
Chaf'd by the speed, it fir'd; and, as it flew, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMVR7bLn27R
A trail of following flames ascending drew: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5w3gYh2S29
Kindling they mount, and mark the shiny way; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA213U4IsSsM
Across the skies as falling meteors play, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKitZvTrmau
And vanish into wind, or in a blaze decay. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGTvVBRu66r
The Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAv2R8by0QMd
And, trembling, turn their wonder into pray'r. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbimaCuruY3
The Dardan prince put on a smiling face, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfi3W7V8AT9
And strain'd Acestes with a close embrace; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIvc9odVEHk
Then, hon'ring him with gifts above the rest, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6ikQJbeHNX
Turn'd the bad omen, nor his fears confess'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqVePwmYDPQ
"The gods," said he, "this miracle have wrought, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAR5yBFJRIWP
And order'd you the prize without the lot. 892Please respect copyright.PENANApig41RVQew
Accept this goblet, rough with figur'd gold, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeCGmzLuB6G
Which Thracian Cisseus gave my sire of old: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVbFDw5oTqA
This pledge of ancient amity receive, 892Please respect copyright.PENANANJ6sOqKk9a
Which to my second sire I justly give." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAKUSTgeJnz
He said, and, with the trumpets' cheerful sound, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQTLQjPHCau
Proclaim'd him victor, and with laurel-crown'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqASFEBsBvj
Nor good Eurytion envied him the prize, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjQW8rQ8Jkr
Tho' he transfix'd the pigeon in the skies. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA24zQq7NT1Q
Who cut the line, with second gifts was grac'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWLu96ywMpr
The third was his whose arrow pierc'd the mast. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnjZFuXlZPr
The chief, before the games were wholly done, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwCRcfw8uuM
Call'd Periphantes, tutor to his son, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjv052HBnxy
And whisper'd thus: "With speed Ascanius find; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUSyhDf1heF
And, if his childish troop be ready join'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbBZJoUg4yK
On horseback let him grace his grandsire's day, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhsn5tSoR2m
And lead his equals arm'd in just array." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAR5CMu4SbEG
He said; and, calling out, the cirque he clears. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUYeRZJ4pPD
The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAULckaNqDcU
And now the noble youths, of form divine, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkOZuuhtyH7
Advance before their fathers, in a line; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnM72HngMvX
The riders grace the steeds; the steeds with glory shine. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAXu0fnjt4Ws
Thus marching on in military pride, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKufhvAi9K8
Shouts of applause resound from side to side. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEXuwis7fOT
Their casques adorn'd with laurel wreaths they wear, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcGm7dM9Klv
Each brandishing aloft a cornel spear. 892Please respect copyright.PENANARPKiZq2B32
Some at their backs their gilded quivers bore; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGl56HIi0P8
Their chains of burnish'd gold hung down before. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAY6GztWgbIC
Three graceful troops they form'd upon the green; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyz0y3f7nJL
Three graceful leaders at their head were seen; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx3dBlmyo7j
Twelve follow'd ev'ry chief, and left a space between. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3731OlIO5U
The first young Priam led; a lovely boy, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9eqN6X6nG8
Whose grandsire was th' unhappy king of Troy; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAERypMtgjLj
His race in after times was known to fame, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtYdifwVQoT
New honors adding to the Latian name; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAb814htg9mk
And well the royal boy his Thracian steed became. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfyAEPZhuc4
White were the fetlocks of his feet before, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAThC4zYQvy5
And on his front a snowy star he bore. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAinJbSuP6GN
Then beauteous Atys, with Iulus bred, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAG5YzA0xyYc
Of equal age, the second squadron led. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAw9oMmzhr7A
The last in order, but the first in place, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUJbvQmbkja
First in the lovely features of his face, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA48OTljNgYr
Rode fair Ascanius on a fiery steed, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7gWqqIfFpS
Queen Dido's gift, and of the Tyrian breed. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzx6oxMda5X
Sure coursers for the rest the king ordains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFFFmiNmyMe
With golden bits adorn'd, and purple reins. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyJqzTAZxHv
The pleas'd spectators peals of shouts renew, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtEPHt4Qz59
And all the parents in the children view; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxUc6eObNLB
Their make, their motions, and their sprightly grace, 892Please respect copyright.PENANARyzm5jrs0h
And hopes and fears alternate in their face. 892Please respect copyright.PENANALuIYO6qRxt
Th' unfledg'd commanders and their martial train 892Please respect copyright.PENANA21dRRff7DD
First make the circuit of the sandy plain 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGtylR64A6x
Around their sires, and, at th' appointed sign, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAB2pfuH8HIy
Drawn up in beauteous order, form a line. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0oblp3Qxws
The second signal sounds, the troop divides 892Please respect copyright.PENANANa17SgHa9C
In three distinguish'd parts, with three distinguish'd guides 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZlqHdPzsCX
Again they close, and once again disjoin; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAqUaQLszymv
In troop to troop oppos'd, and line to line. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx6ax9eVhPJ
They meet; they wheel; they throw their darts afar 892Please respect copyright.PENANAI1VYcbenDy
With harmless rage and well-dissembled war. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWLZzgDbAdu
Then in a round the mingled bodies run: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0OJSMpIPWn
Flying they follow, and pursuing shun; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA336DjAIQUx
Broken, they break; and, rallying, they renew 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzqxEx5gxbC
In other forms the military shew. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0ABHb5D9lP
At last, in order, undiscern'd they join, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVnMcGCWNFL
And march together in a friendly line. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlEjueCEvj9
And, as the Cretan labyrinth of old, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAR8jKAnbsYq
With wand'ring ways and many a winding fold, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAYRlrYIvEkn
Involv'd the weary feet, without redress, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnrmTdVvcrF
In a round error, which denied recess; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJgAF38noYB
So fought the Trojan boys in warlike play, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyPrbXbLNjz
Turn'd and return'd, and still a diff'rent way. 892Please respect copyright.PENANActKMLqDO3f
Thus dolphins in the deep each other chase 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkXEBNYsyQS
In circles, when they swim around the wat'ry race. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAusMsHEDtHY
This game, these carousels, Ascanius taught; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8zF0feJvsy
And, building Alba, to the Latins brought; 892Please respect copyright.PENANADia4mZtfYA
Shew'd what he learn'd: the Latin sires impart 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9CZStEiUqx
To their succeeding sons the graceful art; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmqB8CQ9lMw
From these imperial Rome receiv'd the game, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmUxAdwT16y
Which Troy, the youths the Trojan troop, they name. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAd5enJKH7c9
Thus far the sacred sports they celebrate: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdwnsHQwrJs
But Fortune soon resum'd her ancient hate; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyx6XZnusDj
For, while they pay the dead his annual dues, 892Please respect copyright.PENANABgFE5bMHby
Those envied rites Saturnian Juno views; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVYlS1Lm1HL
And sends the goddess of the various bow, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAM1VpkRC5Eb
To try new methods of revenge below; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcyMPvteOC5
Supplies the winds to wing her airy way, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMHz5h6prmm
Where in the port secure the navy lay. 892Please respect copyright.PENANARE4P8879dy
Swiftly fair Iris down her arch descends, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0O4E47gPsN
And, undiscern'd, her fatal voyage ends. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1j3yWRVMEa
She saw the gath'ring crowd; and, gliding thence, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAim8gKMxQst
The desart shore, and fleet without defense. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJj5Z2B1Rsl
The Trojan matrons, on the sands alone, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcProcRhkgZ
With sighs and tears Anchises' death bemoan; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5RMNT2hNKx
Then, turning to the sea their weeping eyes, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmBXOQCoKcc
Their pity to themselves renews their cries. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHGVCC6Qyim
"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain 892Please respect copyright.PENANALOr0QWrF58
For us to sail! what labors to sustain!" 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUwlA2qQYAU
All take the word, and, with a gen'ral groan, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA27HXTyMJ8j
Implore the gods for peace, and places of their own. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAuMabX4OsmH
The goddess, great in mischief, views their pains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIjF4xiScA0
And in a woman's form her heav'nly limbs restrains. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtr1l5ELdvp
In face and shape old Beroe she became, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAl7HAkYF3du
Doryclus' wife, a venerable dame, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnMwhjMQ60K
Once blest with riches, and a mother's name. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxdKeZaqM9Z
Thus chang'd, amidst the crying crowd she ran, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsPLaD7u7jQ
Mix'd with the matrons, and these words began: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVaMk7oYd1f
"O wretched we, whom not the Grecian pow'r, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaKDRgvewrw
Nor flames, destroy'd, in Troy's unhappy hour! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQEi4ED4sqO
O wretched we, reserv'd by cruel fate, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkpdpdeOqaj
Beyond the ruins of the sinking state! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAYQbmS85VTe
Now sev'n revolving years are wholly run, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAm3WzmV8PUy
Since this improsp'rous voyage we begun; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABAQAHhJk3m
Since, toss'd from shores to shores, from lands to lands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1nTETudsle
Inhospitable rocks and barren sands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbXgr9L1MJx
Wand'ring in exile thro' the stormy sea, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx2D2N8NbXx
We search in vain for flying Italy. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7EGOqgHWFd
Now cast by fortune on this kindred land, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVxjuaSqK1v
What should our rest and rising walls withstand, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5ThVaiEtqQ
Or hinder here to fix our banish'd band? 892Please respect copyright.PENANACVeYteGlKx
O country lost, and gods redeem'd in vain, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5c4KKsoogZ
If still in endless exile we remain! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwHHDFTGilR
Shall we no more the Trojan walls renew, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcfZmXoCg70
Or streams of some dissembled Simois view! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhfmqB8UHxs
Haste, join with me, th' unhappy fleet consume! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQIcldPHWj5
Cassandra bids; and I declare her doom. 892Please respect copyright.PENANABrD4p8j6cw
In sleep I saw her; she supplied my hands 892Please respect copyright.PENANAimZLdhCPwK
(For this I more than dreamt) with flaming brands: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAYLIAajRhAZ
'With these,' said she, 'these wand'ring ships destroy: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAK9u1nRjYqo
These are your fatal seats, and this your Troy.' 892Please respect copyright.PENANACexcbTC0Gl
Time calls you now; the precious hour employ: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkYNaOBlI9G
Slack not the good presage, while Heav'n inspires 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5ax6t6dQk6
Our minds to dare, and gives the ready fires. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwAiwtOguf2
See! Neptune's altars minister their brands: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0b44QPv1eo
The god is pleas'd; the god supplies our hands." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx80X104Fgd
Then from the pile a flaming fire she drew, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAU8PQMotv8F
And, toss'd in air, amidst the galleys threw. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEOgPZ1Tufe
Wrapp'd in amaze, the matrons wildly stare: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA022POyt7qO
Then Pyrgo, reverenc'd for her hoary hair, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAXWSvqsnfhD
Pyrgo, the nurse of Priam's num'rous race: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFcaPpgurga
"No Beroe this, tho' she belies her face! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaULM0qaUeO
What terrors from her frowning front arise! 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7de2LaP3mN
Behold a goddess in her ardent eyes! 892Please respect copyright.PENANArTYhViRRv4
What rays around her heav'nly face are seen! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjRNkyNEBKz
Mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mien! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAShfzYoYlxX
Beroe but now I left, whom, pin'd with pain, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAboB342qe91
Her age and anguish from these rites detain," 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiPc1WIFW8h
She said. The matrons, seiz'd with new amaze, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5mPtwXYHVt
Roll their malignant eyes, and on the navy gaze. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwTxGbk4wpp
They fear, and hope, and neither part obey: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOfw4zf487c
They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEanr66mt4f
The goddess, having done her task below, 892Please respect copyright.PENANABJxdwUSMok
Mounts up on equal wings, and bends her painted bow. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8rIojpmGKl
Struck with the sight, and seiz'd with rage divine, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAErFHsgFnPR
The matrons prosecute their mad design: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaozRWri5WM
They shriek aloud; they snatch, with impious hands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANASng8Lsivak
The food of altars; fires and flaming brands. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzyNpwsI4i5
Green boughs and saplings, mingled in their haste, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyzG7E2ROcT
And smoking torches, on the ships they cast. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnmsYzmDo6b
The flame, unstopp'd at first, more fury gains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzeVfJwuZgY
And Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeAH3u8sp6v
Triumphant to the painted sterns he soars, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKusY6TuGXM
And seizes, in this way, the banks and crackling oars. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAt92yvaIlZ2
Eumelus was the first the news to bear, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfE72pP3lsz
While yet they crowd the rural theater. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhIOH0bCr1n
Then, what they hear, is witness'd by their eyes: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnl19KSTzqn
A storm of sparkles and of flames arise. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAamSrrUo1BV
Ascanius took th' alarm, while yet he led 892Please respect copyright.PENANAohxcVfECd3
His early warriors on his prancing steed, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2zoc71aeib
And, spurring on, his equals soon o'erpass'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnmQFu6cl5s
Nor could his frighted friends reclaim his haste. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtLiy0Foi88
Soon as the royal youth appear'd in view, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjt5mZM6g6k
He sent his voice before him as he flew: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnSGMaH7Ulw
"What madness moves you, matrons, to destroy 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvCG6z4nbSz
The last remainders of unhappy Troy! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAeln1T1t0c
Not hostile fleets, but your own hopes, you burn, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnRIDAlIazQ
And on your friends your fatal fury turn. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAuVz1e1S64g
Behold your own Ascanius!" While he said, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAv8RElurNCr
He drew his glitt'ring helmet from his head, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAk4LjZe7iqC
In which the youths to sportful arms he led. 892Please respect copyright.PENANApvo05RVL27
By this, Aeneas and his train appear; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwMvcMs1tNp
And now the women, seiz'd with shame and fear, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFhzmzJM5nY
Dispers'd, to woods and caverns take their flight, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5WS7wNyPGJ
Abhor their actions, and avoid the light; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7fGqsdh0vB
Their friends acknowledge, and their error find, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0VQDxDwUbG
And shake the goddess from their alter'd mind. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA7Esd9fUCpN
Not so the raging fires their fury cease, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbfGuCyg5gZ
But, lurking in the seams, with seeming peace, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA10JgzaGa93
Work on their way amid the smold'ring tow, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFLbrhlOosw
Sure in destruction, but in motion slow. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUQtyY992vZ
The silent plague thro' the green timber eats, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAX4rkqx2z5D
And vomits out a tardy flame by fits. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA48lrtRK6Jn
Down to the keels, and upward to the sails, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAruGasR7oXP
The fire descends, or mounts, but still prevails; 892Please respect copyright.PENANARxIgiom5SO
Nor buckets pour'd, nor strength of human hand, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAv179fc94oh
Can the victorious element withstand. 892Please respect copyright.PENANALhdlwYd8Cj
The pious hero rends his robe, and throws 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeshiGDOHux
To heav'n his hands, and with his hands his vows. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx8t0f8S8pH
"O Jove," he cried, "if pray'rs can yet have place; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiFavMMcdVi
If thou abhorr'st not all the Dardan race; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAO2QQs3p52f
If any spark of pity still remain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAYz9njgDWL
If gods are gods, and not invok'd in vain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfdjCwmf1ON
Yet spare the relics of the Trojan train! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAC2T1e6vKR7
Yet from the flames our burning vessels free, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Y5bZz7WP
Or let thy fury fall alone on me! 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHWzc6vrlFY
At this devoted head thy thunder throw, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9f0ZG8VYW8
And send the willing sacrifice below!" 892Please respect copyright.PENANAL7EZlaWtNh
Scarce had he said, when southern storms arise: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGP1NoeDdDy
From pole to pole the forky lightning flies; 892Please respect copyright.PENANADsoIIKUg64
Loud rattling shakes the mountains and the plain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANACONfBhZN90
Heav'n bellies downward, and descends in rain. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAh1YmsWSd03
Whole sheets of water from the clouds are sent, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHRBFdtoiIm
Which, hissing thro' the planks, the flames prevent, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAATDqpRWqGO
And stop the fiery pest. Four ships alone 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxva1F7zKKP
Burn to the waist, and for the fleet atone. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2FXZaUBl9X
But doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvP1AP1nt8r
If he should still in Sicily reside, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAysfdLjoEHg
Forgetful of his fates, or tempt the main, 892Please respect copyright.PENANArJVg1xycxW
In hope the promis'd Italy to gain. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAInTJfYbdQm
Then Nautes, old and wise, to whom alone 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJPikbpXFf4
The will of Heav'n by Pallas was foreshown; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAv6sjoOkYw5
Vers'd in portents, experienc'd, and inspir'd 892Please respect copyright.PENANApkEhwProS2
To tell events, and what the fates requir'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOtd7ZVfIJA
Thus while he stood, to neither part inclin'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4RLzSxEuL6
With cheerful words reliev'd his lab'ring mind: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvV9PAawLwS
"O goddess-born, resign'd in ev'ry state, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhSMQJ1Ofif
With patience bear, with prudence push your fate. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbB7Lg9RvTI
By suff'ring well, our Fortune we subdue; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAABUoec7yvh
Fly when she frowns, and, when she calls, pursue. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAB4CekinbBU
Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9njkEcoqtY
To him disclose the secrets of your mind: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKHlRataHWR
Trust in his hands your old and useless train; 892Please respect copyright.PENANANTNVxTmwMv
Too num'rous for the ships which yet remain: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQRSHDMDMsl
The feeble, old, indulgent of their ease, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAk34TlSJA1t
The dames who dread the dangers of the seas, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcXk2jPWOl6
With all the dastard crew, who dare not stand 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFAXB1rRpWL
The shock of battle with your foes by land. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzqXOJrlbiL
Here you may build a common town for all, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAX4Neg15SOk
And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjovLEdVVCt
The reasons, with his friend's experience join'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANATzq4b1NBMg
Encourag'd much, but more disturb'd his mind. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0H8MpBUQWv
'T was dead of night; when to his slumb'ring eyes 892Please respect copyright.PENANAu97ojejHmP
His father's shade descended from the skies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3v2rKqfb9X
And thus he spoke: "O more than vital breath, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQVXm4dugQp
Lov'd while I liv'd, and dear ev'n after death; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9HPKoJqAJO
O son, in various toils and troubles toss'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgxMwOM5qjI
The King of Heav'n employs my careful ghost 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmXGDFBEKsV
On his commands: the god, who sav'd from fire 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmoOK7OBXd6
Your flaming fleet, and heard your just desire. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsr5n8Jam68
The wholesome counsel of your friend receive, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAo1G3pS04a0
And here the coward train and woman leave: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAArlF5D1LG3
The chosen youth, and those who nobly dare, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGQWas5voeK
Transport, to tempt the dangers of the war. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2cl9Xk4T5I
The stern Italians will their courage try; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGW1ATPQqir
Rough are their manners, and their minds are high. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAY9VQKIzAX5
But first to Pluto's palace you shall go, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAMsLaEIgXlk
And seek my shade among the blest below: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAS25Pob1XAZ
For not with impious ghosts my soul remains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgVnGQIuFVh
Nor suffers with the damn'd perpetual pains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA33seby4Csj
But breathes the living air of soft Elysian plains. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAyUCF1oR8EI
The chaste Sibylla shall your steps convey, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAknIa6WhCbD
And blood of offer'd victims free the way. 892Please respect copyright.PENANANbHCqJ8qTc
There shall you know what realms the gods assign, 892Please respect copyright.PENANATdbNwI8ho8
And learn the fates and fortunes of your line. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3bgfAWvp01
But now, farewell! I vanish with the night, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwnPUizbnrf
And feel the blast of heav'n's approaching light." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAElGJGSUKJc
He said, and mix'd with shades, and took his airy flight. 892Please respect copyright.PENANADneBf2PFhb
"Whither so fast?" the filial duty cried; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8M31KPwwcl
"And why, ah why, the wish'd embrace denied?" 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHq2AsQQNLq
He said, and rose; as holy zeal inspires, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsYLxMMmSTi
He rakes hot embers, and renews the fires; 892Please respect copyright.PENANApVIFlS6dH6
His country gods and Vesta then adores 892Please respect copyright.PENANATCBa4T5xdF
With cakes and incense, and their aid implores. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0iKW4VSXqA
Next, for his friends and royal host he sent, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAkL6ZA02ABc
Reveal'd his vision, and the gods' intent, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZSE18CACKc
With his own purpose. All, without delay, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnHMV6hTSxQ
The will of Jove, and his desires obey. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5bcz5teYvB
They list with women each degenerate name, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHjOeNwImI4
Who dares not hazard life for future fame. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPlXrAMjihX
These they cashier: the brave remaining few, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtWMnuIRcOu
Oars, banks, and cables, half consum'd, renew. 892Please respect copyright.PENANASdYbm4rTBe
The prince designs a city with the plow; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAo7iClKnRSh
The lots their sev'ral tenements allow. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnJsHNHfv1w
This part is nam'd from Ilium, that from Troy, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaoLxJOqYTT
And the new king ascends the throne with joy; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAf7gTlK5Wrl
A chosen senate from the people draws; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAu8GbjzN0ZS
Appoints the judges, and ordains the laws. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHGWdlUWIP7
Then, on the top of Eryx, they begin 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ggiq4VEIB
A rising temple to the Paphian queen. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPBUfBBrM2C
Anchises, last, is honor'd as a god; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWR7a11iiRM
A priest is added, annual gifts bestow'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAfX25jzoiMz
And groves are planted round his blest abode. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA28bNVbnRwi
Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAC7T74qqLUP
And fumes of incense in the fanes abound. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0hxbdtzTyE
Then from the south arose a gentle breeze 892Please respect copyright.PENANA61CyNS12BI
That curl'd the smoothness of the glassy seas; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAiXKrwnrQx0
The rising winds a ruffling gale afford, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA6gjOrookSB
And call the merry mariners aboard. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1zLoUoABN6
Now loud laments along the shores resound, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZtVp5lOszT
Of parting friends in close embraces bound. 892Please respect copyright.PENANACojBUUfvSr
The trembling women, the degenerate train, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAukVxe9MAXD
Who shunn'd the frightful dangers of the main, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAM2vtuJfCLa
Ev'n those desire to sail, and take their share 892Please respect copyright.PENANAYCiPbTIvF2
Of the rough passage and the promis'd war: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3cx4q8SoaL
Whom good Aeneas cheers, and recommends 892Please respect copyright.PENANAn4a4x7Kn0e
To their new master's care his fearful friends. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsUg8UUU4X7
On Eryx's altars three fat calves he lays; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAjz8tP2OYh
A lamb new-fallen to the stormy seas; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8LGpAI7kig
Then slips his haulsers, and his anchors weighs. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxS62M6xi18
High on the deck the godlike hero stands, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbwNuTIuF1V
With olive crown'd, a charger in his hands; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAv9p0Mkoc8O
Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAOoQ1GLbfqQ
And pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. 892Please respect copyright.PENANADwQmzVkgyJ
Fresh gales arise; with equal strokes they vie, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtTPyEedxoA
And brush the buxom seas, and o'er the billows fly. 892Please respect copyright.PENANADFeOC8o0bv
Meantime the mother goddess, full of fears, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAh33pGO3ATQ
To Neptune thus address'd, with tender tears: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaLtcsT8rQM
"The pride of Jove's imperious queen, the rage, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3QYz6CZJYz
The malice which no suff'rings can assuage, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwyDTng9Ehv
Compel me to these pray'rs; since neither fate, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAeDBEnAktD
Nor time, nor pity, can remove her hate: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEQNJWhjizA
Ev'n Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAef3D8gRIfr
Still vanquish'd, yet she still renews the strife. 892Please respect copyright.PENANANzEu9XBMgv
As if 't were little to consume the town 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJmgOPtiXYS
Which aw'd the world, and wore th' imperial crown, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVHLY2ztaCV
She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAAratVqjJS3
And gnaws, ev'n to the bones, the last remains. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQo9MwRigx0
Let her the causes of her hatred tell; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1o67BEqDEg
But you can witness its effects too well. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEvVWzIKy9G
You saw the storm she rais'd on Libyan floods, 892Please respect copyright.PENANASDYxUyhqo0
That mix'd the mounting billows with the clouds; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAZBsfnOqqRI
When, bribing Aeolus, she shook the main, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9g1ec7KCEW
And mov'd rebellion in your wat'ry reign. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAT5g5bQoFR6
With fury she possess'd the Dardan dames, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAX9kUDaaq3e
To burn their fleet with execrable flames, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAuIpbQTWd3P
And forc'd Aeneas, when his ships were lost, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlB6ZGtzkfP
To leave his foll'wers on a foreign coast. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAjynItlTgPe
For what remains, your godhead I implore, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQTy6lOZ4Mh
And trust my son to your protecting pow'r. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8wh4XgVwcS
If neither Jove's nor Fate's decree withstand, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAObKeWmFlwa
Secure his passage to the Latian land." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAHdoKVqL9o9
Then thus the mighty Ruler of the Main: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAB2oP2YYMKV
"What may not Venus hope from Neptune's reign? 892Please respect copyright.PENANA2ijRWvWPLF
My kingdom claims your birth; my late defense 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmBIq0wOUj4
Of your indanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKPgcnABiFz
Nor less by land than sea my deeds declare 892Please respect copyright.PENANA95Acrm1tHC
How much your lov'd Aeneas is my care. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxr1clnxIg2
Thee, Xanthus, and thee, Simois, I attest. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAwOs3gYachg
Your Trojan troops when proud Achilles press'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3YtnytyfcZ
And drove before him headlong on the plain, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAaJlOEo0LBo
And dash'd against the walls the trembling train; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAx89Y06eVAB
When floods were fill'd with bodies of the slain; 892Please respect copyright.PENANADWnidRxaam
When crimson Xanthus, doubtful of his way, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAM8COntSeo2
Stood up on ridges to behold the sea; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtfLeNLSg7s
(New heaps came tumbling in, and chok'd his way;) 892Please respect copyright.PENANAd2FQpn5vhD
When your Aeneas fought, but fought with odds 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVcoZ582kDC
Of force unequal, and unequal gods; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABfMAjgndG9
I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAUSxGMr7KFB
Sustain'd the vanquish'd, and secur'd his flight; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAodgQtMIjCW
Ev'n then secur'd him, when I sought with joy 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJmdeC1Alhw
The vow'd destruction of ungrateful Troy. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAm93QrohMCN
My will's the same: fair goddess, fear no more, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4NClm3HM74
Your fleet shall safely gain the Latian shore; 892Please respect copyright.PENANABvx0I5a3zQ
Their lives are giv'n; one destin'd head alone 892Please respect copyright.PENANAR5EshdTDn5
Shall perish, and for multitudes atone." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAWXu7vlxYs6
Thus having arm'd with hopes her anxious mind, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAPxESN2CQ72
His finny team Saturnian Neptune join'd, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEUNvR4tQRp
Then adds the foamy bridle to their jaws, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAE0arT4IS52
And to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAU0HixolRF2
High on the waves his azure car he guides; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVNgMNrsN2z
Its axles thunder, and the sea subsides, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAnklpmKG7QS
And the smooth ocean rolls her silent tides. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxbfxyNnwfq
The tempests fly before their father's face, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAr4uKZvDeha
Trains of inferior gods his triumph grace, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5DQIcoeajP
And monster whales before their master play, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA61yQulTZ85
And choirs of Tritons crowd the wat'ry way. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAu2dblaebD4
The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide 892Please respect copyright.PENANAGYHEh0bJzv
To right and left; the gods his better side 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9vBYbY4pWX
Inclose, and on the worse the Nymphs and Nereids ride. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAlg2VGSL0DS
Now smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude, 892Please respect copyright.PENANADMKzPW5HXN
Within the hero's mind his joys renew'd. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzt58g0xrUn
He calls to raise the masts, the sheets display; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAJaxAXAlyrZ
The cheerful crew with diligence obey; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAIF4KryPk65
They scud before the wind, and sail in open sea. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxhcZu8vgvN
Ahead of all the master pilot steers; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA816BKPWza2
And, as he leads, the following navy veers. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzKCGHacEEG
The steeds of Night had travel'd half the sky, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA1g38lYW5ye
The drowsy rowers on their benches lie, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA8QfIAXUk6g
When the soft God of Sleep, with easy flight, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAM2K4kNAlEW
Descends, and draws behind a trail of light. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAFVuwLjYWPt
Thou, Palinurus, art his destin'd prey; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAeeuh69w9Qk
To thee alone he takes his fatal way. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAA315zDjuUo
Dire dreams to thee, and iron sleep, he bears; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA9nf4Py6lrs
And, lighting on thy prow, the form of Phorbas wears. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAQyyebCW9KD
Then thus the traitor god began his tale: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ3bydWf0A
"The winds, my friend, inspire a pleasing gale; 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3pzcU8ojDd
The ships, without thy care, securely sail. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAhWUnsaThQK
Now steal an hour of sweet repose; and I 892Please respect copyright.PENANAsPbkK6Li70
Will take the rudder and thy room supply." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAboFgy0QT1X
To whom the yawning pilot, half asleep: 892Please respect copyright.PENANALaProvSrrB
"Me dost thou bid to trust the treach'rous deep, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtBWNvGPcvw
The harlot smiles of her dissembling face, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA4xscTeAPXw
And to her faith commit the Trojan race? 892Please respect copyright.PENANAelNx5t7ukm
Shall I believe the Siren South again, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA3V6u6BzJ0P
And, oft betray'd, not know the monster main?" 892Please respect copyright.PENANAKgbtU6YsYu
He said: his fasten'd hands the rudder keep, 892Please respect copyright.PENANA10rF6uyvI7
And, fix'd on heav'n, his eyes repel invading sleep. 892Please respect copyright.PENANA5N4VNiKttu
The god was wroth, and at his temples threw 892Please respect copyright.PENANAL2oWgkZAig
A branch in Lethe dipp'd, and drunk with Stygian dew: 892Please respect copyright.PENANA0fdSmc3N46
The pilot, vanquish'd by the pow'r divine, 892Please respect copyright.PENANATtNBGhjUKh
Soon clos'd his swimming eyes, and lay supine. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAVqj95Mqcld
Scarce were his limbs extended at their length, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Sm3JOfZk
The god, insulting with superior strength, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAvoQ0FHAF77
Fell heavy on him, plung'd him in the sea, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAS4QRf5a9BM
And, with the stern, the rudder tore away. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAO8dZE9w4LG
Headlong he fell, and, struggling in the main, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAgxn0oWJ92m
Cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdccGtm0AFz
The victor daemon mounts obscure in air, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAdOOa8rdQ8Q
While the ship sails without the pilot's care. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxzlTZjWm0W
On Neptune's faith the floating fleet relies; 892Please respect copyright.PENANANExbq7POWi
But what the man forsook, the god supplies, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAthQ7AQoL89
And o'er the dang'rous deep secure the navy flies; 892Please respect copyright.PENANAtOwf7PQhcF
Glides by the Sirens' cliffs, a shelfy coast, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAd6EbpTGDk8
Long infamous for ships and sailors lost, 892Please respect copyright.PENANACWhgOUDqbm
And white with bones. Th' impetuous ocean roars, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAizNrCfakjU
And rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. 892Please respect copyright.PENANAxgpt333YGi
The watchful hero felt the knocks, and found 892Please respect copyright.PENANACMrj1hGyUG
The tossing vessel sail'd on shoaly ground. 892Please respect copyright.PENANASzrUY0HJgd
Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself 892Please respect copyright.PENANAmmagGkUlnp
The helm, and steers aloof, and shuns the shelf. 892Please respect copyright.PENANANxAW5BaHTh
Inly he griev'd, and, groaning from the breast, 892Please respect copyright.PENANASb8YsZ5puc
Deplor'd his death; and thus his pain express'd: 892Please respect copyright.PENANAs9VpGujPck
"For faith repos'd on seas, and on the flatt'ring sky, 892Please respect copyright.PENANAbEb7lfAWYy
Thy naked corpse is doom'd on shores unknown to lie." 892Please respect copyright.PENANAcgPaZYFBZ5
