Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWjYGMaWqUh
Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzjilUFDwUO
Then, casting back his eyes, with dire amaze, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfyOukR4nWp
Sees on the Punic shore the mounting blaze. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7CPX3wZFt
The cause unknown; yet his presaging mind 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKI03NUfZYs
The fate of Dido from the fire divin'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8xlvcbIXKE
He knew the stormy souls of womankind, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjiLPJeYgDU
What secret springs their eager passions move, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAiSQyVeAMMZ
How capable of death for injur'd love. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAT4JshBG21B
Dire auguries from hence the Trojans draw; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYQTaOIpWc3
Till neither fires nor shining shores they saw. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOFzLOOV4R6
Now seas and skies their prospect only bound; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAw8Hh4GhoFe
An empty space above, a floating field around. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6sjEQKOfrz
But soon the heav'ns with shadows were o'erspread; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0jxNWFcNCw
A swelling cloud hung hov'ring o'er their head: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0UWKxpCv8O
Livid it look'd, the threat'ning of a storm: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAf3rgAWcDI7
Then night and horror ocean's face deform. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAd0K4iW6z8q
The pilot, Palinurus, cried aloud: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfVcVCE8H8G
"What gusts of weather from that gath'ring cloud 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGIne5jWtfC
My thoughts presage! Ere yet the tempest roars, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAapKp4e4G4V
Stand to your tackle, mates, and stretch your oars; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAS2VY75thQE
Contract your swelling sails, and luff to wind." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASf2qmNWr9H
The frighted crew perform the task assign'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPtFsungB4p
Then, to his fearless chief: "Not Heav'n," said he, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8EW2L2WTxV
"Tho' Jove himself should promise Italy, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7k17Y6Zgni
Can stem the torrent of this raging sea. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAD4To3ULZpp
Mark how the shifting winds from west arise, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXJgt4qy56x
And what collected night involves the skies! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAM7OYsaKfKU
Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhDiTzzBhJA
Much less against the tempest force their way. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAN08in5YP60
'T is fate diverts our course, and fate we must obey. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzVZ3FlqgsK
Not far from hence, if I observ'd aright 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAytsiqg1bLf
The southing of the stars, and polar light, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAIK5jveVxsx
Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKVEdIpfGzc
In safety we may reach with struggling oars." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAm80yV6LIN1
Aeneas then replied: "Too sure I find 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAyDZC3a5saT
We strive in vain against the seas and wind: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACHRmEIayAI
Now shift your sails; what place can please me more 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASoLyOh2OnM
Than what you promise, the Sicilian shore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHJGgLH4SYp
Whose hallow'd earth Anchises' bones contains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAh5RLtjCmVZ
And where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns?" 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATvgeq9djNs
The course resolv'd, before the western wind 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcIMpJSdg8b
They scud amain, and make the port assign'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARVw8Upvbbw
Meantime Acestes, from a lofty stand, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvlNfMa88XE
Beheld the fleet descending on the land; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA12PzKuMzqL
And, not unmindful of his ancient race, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWdHcpt13Ju
Down from the cliff he ran with eager pace, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAB3o8FtWsNh
And held the hero in a strict embrace. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoiQZqEPvY4
Of a rough Libyan bear the spoils he wore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABPjMJpgewq
And either hand a pointed jav'lin bore. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVRSDuM0ytL
His mother was a dame of Dardan blood; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYeHH1MpQsS
His sire Crinisus, a Sicilian flood. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAuqXB0dOGuO
He welcomes his returning friends ashore 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZwOhVHlGZ
With plenteous country cates and homely store. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA62k6scLJiL
Now, when the following morn had chas'd away 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA298SK34Xwc
The flying stars, and light restor'd the day, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1m5o50rlh7
Aeneas call'd the Trojan troops around, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwUK6JwUqHg
And thus bespoke them from a rising ground: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAs4xomz1pwO
"Offspring of heav'n, divine Dardanian race! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0MtwmVl0Ey
The sun, revolving thro' th' ethereal space, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAr1CKw4LdLg
The shining circle of the year has fill'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAw5wYlQ5A0M
Since first this isle my father's ashes held: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABFyQCAbSGS
And now the rising day renews the year; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAbpzRxWARDE
A day for ever sad, for ever dear. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXMp5unjpuf
This would I celebrate with annual games, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAm84HqQWpn5
With gifts on altars pil'd, and holy flames, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmS5CBrrLFo
Tho' banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8SruVNfP7X
Caught on the Grecian seas, or hostile lands: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZS4z6LsUx
But since this happy storm our fleet has driv'n 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALe3S8Th6le
(Not, as I deem, without the will of Heav'n) 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsTzazonNnD
Upon these friendly shores and flow'ry plains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUGjcdeksQU
Which hide Anchises and his blest remains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKv5qyIloPh
Let us with joy perform his honors due, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAi7CYR0hz8p
And pray for prosp'rous winds, our voyage to renew; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwg9W6TFr63
Pray, that in towns and temples of our own, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANqtIGiwxW2
The name of great Anchises may be known, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1RD9RwIIf9
And yearly games may spread the gods' renown. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8jKSHWs8Y9
Our sports Acestes, of the Trojan race, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAd8mjWZG4Vb
With royal gifts ordain'd, is pleas'd to grace: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAn7xgUOoC8
Two steers on ev'ry ship the king bestows; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3uL3BEyoRU
His gods and ours shall share your equal vows. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQcII7NxhM8
Besides, if, nine days hence, the rosy morn 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAw2T2gFIiV
Shall with unclouded light the skies adorn, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxFJ7IQGi2F
That day with solemn sports I mean to grace: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjwwREYajFS
Light galleys on the seas shall run a wat'ry race; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANToHFG3Wi6
Some shall in swiftness for the goal contend, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPRc1MQbCL2
And others try the twanging bow to bend; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAP2LMyisobE
The strong, with iron gauntlets arm'd, shall stand 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwFk2kxmZMR
Oppos'd in combat on the yellow sand. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzRg4lWGZi6
Let all be present at the games prepar'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5DKTtOWv2X
And joyful victors wait the just reward. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAtgcsAwdBuz
But now assist the rites, with garlands crown'd." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKSdHfrtPTW
He said, and first his brows with myrtle bound. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArFJVIyJRr3
Then Helymus, by his example led, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOBfW1jfFFv
And old Acestes, each adorn'd his head; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQoS6jTODBI
Thus young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXUMsbemzAC
His temples tied, and all the Trojan race. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAB8lY2MWdOl
Aeneas then advanc'd amidst the train, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2gI8qASWLh
By thousands follow'd thro' the flow'ry plain, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhqFSjROzW1
To great Anchises' tomb; which when he found, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9wjkghnwHm
He pour'd to Bacchus, on the hallow'd ground, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcsMCavXgMT
Two bowls of sparkling wine, of milk two more, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADxuDI6Jd5X
And two (from offer'd bulls) of purple gore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkoZQqmel8N
With roses then the sepulcher he strow'd 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoTnmgKPDST
And thus his father's ghost bespoke aloud: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWubYitpuQw
"Hail, O ye holy manes! hail again, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAU0S3x9zxs7
Paternal ashes, now review'd in vain! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6qpxs6Wl8b
The gods permitted not, that you, with me, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxWhITV4NPM
Should reach the promis'd shores of Italy, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXOeo9sbdM8
Or Tiber's flood, what flood soe'er it be." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3YY1MYKFON
Scarce had he finish'd, when, with speckled pride, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdWFMHbcc0t
A serpent from the tomb began to glide; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2LRxI4spd5
His hugy bulk on sev'n high volumes roll'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkqw89GgoEB
Blue was his breadth of back, but streak'd with scaly gold: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFDM9UWnYIQ
Thus riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACcZiK380pb
A rolling fire along, and singe the grass. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6SQcxM5Ij0
More various colors thro' his body run, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJr1Gc1W0Vj
Than Iris when her bow imbibes the sun. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3BFSfsoJy2
Betwixt the rising altars, and around, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAo2NcnaZbTY
The sacred monster shot along the ground; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACD9FVwNQRY
With harmless play amidst the bowls he pass'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdmTncdBzS6
And with his lolling tongue assay'd the taste: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAefzsYDlio1
Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdEh0wl8ECV
Within the hollow tomb retir'd to rest. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAatOsa4sI0f
The pious prince, surpris'd at what he view'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6j0zKKbksg
The fun'ral honors with more zeal renew'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAj8NdSbzFRG
Doubtful if this place's genius were, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3V8Iy36ILq
Or guardian of his father's sepulcher. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5UZjqpSs2A
Five sheep, according to the rites, he slew; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAo5TqseMa3o
As many swine, and steers of sable hue; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKFiilpXlbq
New gen'rous wine he from the goblets pour'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFdkMop2AEq
And call'd his father's ghost, from hell restor'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUl77Z9qwbB
The glad attendants in long order come, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAd0pHYdjs7V
Off'ring their gifts at great Anchises' tomb: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mi0rCXOKM
Some add more oxen: some divide the spoil; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYpZef5xE9O
Some place the chargers on the grassy soil; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmcQd1vfsAL
Some blow the fires, and off entrails broil. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1VgnRglT89
Now came the day desir'd. The skies were bright 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwUC2NjlaKZ
With rosy luster of the rising light: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAR3mCtkRfYa
The bord'ring people, rous'd by sounding fame 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADMA1Tblrmc
Of Trojan feasts and great Acestes' name, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfxFzIfsxc5
The crowded shore with acclamations fill, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1WszqV3Eqw
Part to behold, and part to prove their skill. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAT38WWQehcB
And first the gifts in public view they place, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlTNIVK0idx
Green laurel wreaths, and palm, the victors' grace: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsB5a196StC
Within the circle, arms and tripods lie, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeUD7b4Jlvw
Ingots of gold and silver, heap'd on high, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfYyR14Gqoa
And vests embroider'd, of the Tyrian dye. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApLZGjSdMXV
The trumpet's clangor then the feast proclaims, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0VQY9Jph9i
And all prepare for their appointed games. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwTL6ajlHXI
Four galleys first, which equal rowers bear, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAv1jI9BkBe9
Advancing, in the wat'ry lists appear. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARC4VOJn795
The speedy Dolphin, that outstrips the wind, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8vfmSVmpJr
Bore Mnestheus, author of the Memmian kind: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPqSnFXrtTk
Gyas the vast Chimaera's bulk commands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4ttJzPWwc1
Which rising, like a tow'ring city stands; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAH3gPYD9F9P
Three Trojans tug at ev'ry lab'ring oar; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzgcQdOGv3u
Three banks in three degrees the sailors bore; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANjv3MCCmef
Beneath their sturdy strokes the billows roar. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwKntWq5v1H
Sergesthus, who began the Sergian race, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADdqrq3SHsN
In the great Centaur took the leading place; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAENYZrDNoaq
Cloanthus on the sea-green Scylla stood, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1CQiGsrF92
From whom Cluentius draws his Trojan blood. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwASeLjnUY7
Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4RhFSoZiQh
There stands a rock: the raging billows roar 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFxI98lt4p5
Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7v1Y7DvYXq
Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARAYES4ti6d
In peace below the gentle waters run; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzNoLQRWqiH
The cormorants above lie basking in the sun. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAik4zCzBE47
On this the hero fix'd an oak in sight, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAL02YOIr2TR
The mark to guide the mariners aright. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjrtJQINBF2
To bear with this, the seamen stretch their oars; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADTe3ooPSDi
Then round the rock they steer, and seek the former shores. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkYPG1iex90
The lots decide their place. Above the rest, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKZDTi7BIXS
Each leader shining in his Tyrian vest; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAINBqoJD72W
The common crew with wreaths of poplar boughs 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArg5BeofXVS
Their temples crown, and shade their sweaty brows: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcyILcvRqU0
Besmear'd with oil, their naked shoulders shine. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcP2Ly8zZkh
All take their seats, and wait the sounding sign: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApkcZJ9OrRs
They gripe their oars; and ev'ry panting breast 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAqAaGopVnP
Is rais'd by turns with hope, by turns with fear depress'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOdft89FsyQ
The clangor of the trumpet gives the sign; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHVWpNVCj0v
At once they start, advancing in a line: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgIt9sc80OD
With shouts the sailors rend the starry skies; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQ82E6VvC2z
Lash'd with their oars, the smoky billows rise; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQCiDeMa8bK
Sparkles the briny main, and the vex'd ocean fries. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVzw8Vgusoo
Exact in time, with equal strokes they row: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1RLclhpXmj
At once the brushing oars and brazen prow 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3AOo4qRotm
Dash up the sandy waves, and ope the depths below. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvPSOX8yn6x
Not fiery coursers, in a chariot race, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFTan2jMPz0
Invade the field with half so swift a pace; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA68aMCZ7NhE
Not the fierce driver with more fury lends 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAU1yYuC0CWG
The sounding lash, and, ere the stroke descends, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApIuscoOwD3
Low to the wheels his pliant body bends. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfrH3tzbYYp
The partial crowd their hopes and fears divide, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwjL8tVfi5b
And aid with eager shouts the favor'd side. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlVDF1tLZCn
Cries, murmurs, clamors, with a mixing sound, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGJwivmLY9w
From woods to woods, from hills to hills rebound. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALiSe9ADwXQ
Amidst the loud applauses of the shore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADVkrBpCg8B
Gyas outstripp'd the rest, and sprung before: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAycn5W8D1T2
Cloanthus, better mann'd, pursued him fast, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6d55A3jaJb
But his o'er-masted galley check'd his haste. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADNL6mfE3cW
The Centaur and the Dolphin brush the brine 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5obj8OkfR6
With equal oars, advancing in a line; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADNA2ZrtrhW
And now the mighty Centaur seems to lead, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8wIcYssgy
And now the speedy Dolphin gets ahead; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlE5FxUiOhH
Now board to board the rival vessels row, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgOu1YJ3m9V
The billows lave the skies, and ocean groans below. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5qzFfzIT73
They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPtcNLkKMa5
In triumph rode, the victors of the main; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARu5IA73gaJ
But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot stand 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7kAJSvL3qS
More close to shore, and skim along the sand- 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGIiS4aliNM
"Let others bear to sea!" Menoetes heard; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARL8pJA1G3e
But secret shelves too cautiously he fear'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhqhwreaLVG
And, fearing, sought the deep; and still aloof he steer'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHO5kMPtqhv
With louder cries the captain call'd again: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAyATXgKsih
"Bear to the rocky shore, and shun the main." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9Epnv55EjS
He spoke, and, speaking, at his stern he saw 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ5tZwwcVa
The bold Cloanthus near the shelvings draw. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABxxuhkN9jU
Betwixt the mark and him the Scylla stood, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASj2JmPQvQg
And in a closer compass plow'd the flood. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6B7bDT8hQx
He pass'd the mark; and, wheeling, got before: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA62bQHhXZY9
Gyas blasphem'd the gods, devoutly swore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAELf4z9LAxZ
Cried out for anger, and his hair he tore. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7kprr1S9SN
Mindless of others' lives (so high was grown 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGTQXLtKxnK
His rising rage) and careless of his own, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAx3iTimlYVL
The trembling dotard to the deck he drew; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsanfIPldHm
Then hoisted up, and overboard he threw: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0vubGrKvgu
This done, he seiz'd the helm; his fellows cheer'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwyC5E94HCU
Turn'd short upon the shelfs, and madly steer'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsPnmP4gSy5
Hardly his head the plunging pilot rears, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANqXpoYFD5o
Clogg'd with his clothes, and cumber'd with his years: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeZH8QT6gbe
Now dropping wet, he climbs the cliff with pain. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFCl5AdproV
The crowd, that saw him fall and float again, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMT4bKAJSYD
Shout from the distant shore; and loudly laugh'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxqSwiYjm1g
To see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draught. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwd5UoUFP7u
The following Centaur, and the Dolphin's crew, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0EivvXlR2v
Their vanish'd hopes of victory renew; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARqpUb4l89z
While Gyas lags, they kindle in the race, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3hCN4oTzf0
To reach the mark. Sergesthus takes the place; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAyEuYfFX1LO
Mnestheus pursues; and while around they wind, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAps53IJhBbZ
Comes up, not half his galley's length behind; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaTnVFQIXS8
Then, on the deck, amidst his mates appear'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAF8eqLwcwA4
And thus their drooping courage he cheer'd: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApNSyXuZ5yq
"My friends, and Hector's followers heretofore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAt7DwXYJldT
Exert your vigor; tug the lab'ring oar; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATR5YTYfi0D
Stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAScQmcWvhQx
Whom from the flaming walls of Troy I drew. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAqiL4khmydj
In this, our common int'rest, let me find 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJoWg6nNyeX
That strength of hand, that courage of the mind, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAh2t2cAmWgX
As when you stemm'd the strong Malean flood, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAx1lUB9bvHH
And o'er the Syrtes' broken billows row'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAOoVXuhyqy
I seek not now the foremost palm to gain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAP8b7Nu83Hi
Tho' yet- but, ah! that haughty wish is vain! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAg2uuBxsZEO
Let those enjoy it whom the gods ordain. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGDHiGuYE5H
But to be last, the lags of all the race!- 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQLwQGzXIAH
Redeem yourselves and me from that disgrace." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJAf1fAyvnm
Now, one and all, they tug amain; they row 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA93f7ERt8qS
At the full stretch, and shake the brazen prow. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAmFAgQKSSb
The sea beneath 'em sinks; their lab'ring sides 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAX5Zb204NZi
Are swell'd, and sweat runs gutt'ring down in tides. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0Db9ssj5Lh
Chance aids their daring with unhop'd success; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAExSzZNRZvV
Sergesthus, eager with his beak to press 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2dtNBufGl
Betwixt the rival galley and the rock, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXNYiDwyndy
Shuts up th' unwieldly Centaur in the lock. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4FxRQ9mFbG
The vessel struck; and, with the dreadful shock, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAy3j9ogT5xV
Her oars she shiver'd, and her head she broke. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkIBuIyeUwv
The trembling rowers from their banks arise, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAI626002xom
And, anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3l2a8Va3Bc
With iron poles they heave her off the shores, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwn66PbLL90
And gather from the sea their floating oars. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoFO9lGOXxB
The crew of Mnestheus, with elated minds, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPEGws5PBBj
Urge their success, and call the willing winds; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQJj93C64hB
Then ply their oars, and cut their liquid way 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5LKzLzhgAS
In larger compass on the roomy sea. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwpKdgACfZK
As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGH8LOIczqy
Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcpPixJZU0b
The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmv4AhjwWJs
And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAo7uXTrYVH1
At first she flutters; but at length she springs 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHoxJ0sOM6k
To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA43uVeTWgGB
So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxTMlMD8lSH
And, flying with a force, that force assists his way. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOsjeAiKdHT
Sergesthus in the Centaur soon he pass'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAioHUdU5cHG
Wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPwrrWnGytv
In vain the victor he with cries implores, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQrUaH5LKw2
And practices to row with shatter'd oars. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeKLWATMcMu
Then Mnestheus bears with Gyas, and outflies: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGm08NQVSbA
The ship, without a pilot, yields the prize. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjtYfbKubbm
Unvanquish'd Scylla now alone remains; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAamTmo35B93
Her he pursues, and all his vigor strains. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Dque7OiU
Shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEdv7y0TIfn
Applauding Echo to the shouts replies; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsjDN0TEdSH
Shouts, wishes, and applause run rattling thro' the skies. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAtR0vyAAdA2
These clamors with disdain the Scylla heard, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAS3cz1A89uL
Much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZNla3LEL5W
Resolv'd to hold their own, they mend their pace, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAARKIBUsrBG
All obstinate to die, or gain the race. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAyVdWJrloWz
Rais'd with success, the Dolphin swiftly ran; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAtfngWPbOOB
For they can conquer, who believe they can. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3hrcg3ge4l
Both urge their oars, and fortune both supplies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJmMkdyPQRK
And both perhaps had shar'd an equal prize; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAphBpFpw9ZR
When to the seas Cloanthus holds his hands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5nqI2DyZ4u
And succor from the wat'ry pow'rs demands: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOqNduNekOH
"Gods of the liquid realms, on which I row! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANfRzbp52TR
If, giv'n by you, the laurel bind my brow, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1Cs2JaY8UQ
Assist to make me guilty of my vow! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjEMje9Kaax
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ9arjPdbX
His offer'd entrails cast into the main, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAv2kN16NdXf
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ5AU4I569
Your grateful gift and my return shall own." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAY9Dvy8CoYf
The choir of nymphs, and Phorcus, from below, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzvyUurGChZ
With virgin Panopea, heard his vow; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAS99EuFtjr4
And old Portunus, with his breadth of hand, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvuImDtP0e1
Push'd on, and sped the galley to the land. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACj9dkNwByn
Swift as a shaft, or winged wind, she flies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlFuWtjC703
And, darting to the port, obtains the prize. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsA1bSkmPNR
The herald summons all, and then proclaims 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkwuHkQjKaY
Cloanthus conqu'ror of the naval games. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4IAjSgOzwY
The prince with laurel crowns the victor's head, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgnmlEH6I8U
And three fat steers are to his vessel led, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJt9e4XurC5
The ship's reward; with gen'rous wine beside, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9gvdBLktW2
And sums of silver, which the crew divide. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAX9CTFwKGXl
The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAP1gie2YPyI
The victor honor'd with a nobler vest, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAptwPpoMOi7
Where gold and purple strive in equal rows, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2BsQJf3RF
And needlework its happy cost bestows. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAL0W1j8lht9
There Ganymede is wrought with living art, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAK6KyAw1t0y
Chasing thro' Ida's groves the trembling hart: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAbbfb6zMtNP
Breathless he seems, yet eager to pursue; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdvneWtEdSl
When from aloft descends, in open view, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALygjggjyR7
The bird of Jove, and, sousing on his prey, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAq0i01XBJz6
With crooked talons bears the boy away. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZK2qGOy2ha
In vain, with lifted hands and gazing eyes, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzUc0O91pHM
His guards behold him soaring thro' the skies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVq7Nq3Fody
And dogs pursue his flight with imitated cries. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApuKuMWuXM4
Mnestheus the second victor was declar'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfe7tIKZcpS
And, summon'd there, the second prize he shard. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6wgLUeJlko
A coat of mail, brave Demoleus bore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxziVhCjkrh
More brave Aeneas from his shoulders tore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfeXcrO0zbd
In single combat on the Trojan shore: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANhbvgj6QI2
This was ordain'd for Mnestheus to possess; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJMNLYT97Q9
In war for his defense, for ornament in peace. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGFXr7p9tSt
Rich was the gift, and glorious to behold, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGXTvvDIDmw
But yet so pond'rous with its plates of gold, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAbiV32f32Vd
That scarce two servants could the weight sustain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAM16rHrzu9e
Yet, loaded thus, Demoleus o'er the plain 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3aYphpr1pv
Pursued and lightly seiz'd the Trojan train. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUDz8L9MBpg
The third, succeeding to the last reward, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcU33FIYCJ4
Two goodly bowls of massy silver shar'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXou8UUI5GB
With figures prominent, and richly wrought, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3VTZGwpFLD
And two brass caldrons from Dodona brought. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3PqDSGiOyM
Thus all, rewarded by the hero's hands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnDGWX77XfH
Their conqu'ring temples bound with purple bands; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcJGdKsYyHK
And now Sergesthus, clearing from the rock, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGS4IDkePyc
Brought back his galley shatter'd with the shock. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAt1KE7582qg
Forlorn she look'd, without an aiding oar, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAePEC7sQ3Tv
And, houted by the vulgar, made to shore. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASPgADYpusi
As when a snake, surpris'd upon the road, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACP80m5PUm2
Is crush'd athwart her body by the load 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAho3q6lIUmb
Of heavy wheels; or with a mortal wound 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAO4LRgHXGxo
Her belly bruis'd, and trodden to the ground: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA86h94P3Rph
In vain, with loosen'd curls, she crawls along; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4BnduCdv2X
Yet, fierce above, she brandishes her tongue; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJjtfbdq2Z4
Glares with her eyes, and bristles with her scales; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAV418SfaxQ1
But, groveling in the dust, her parts unsound she trails: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0H0i0Y6O1S
So slowly to the port the Centaur tends, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0GbylOg1CF
But, what she wants in oars, with sails amends. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmSjFM8kuG5
Yet, for his galley sav'd, the grateful prince 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkuwSPPUcQW
Is pleas'd th' unhappy chief to recompense. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7cRyeYpPnA
Pholoe, the Cretan slave, rewards his care, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5WLHvbiUdT
Beauteous herself, with lovely twins as fair. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAB3xay1nmXN
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAyCtQOthf1L
Into the neighb'ring plain, with mountains pent, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9VPkOcUPiX
Whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALIB3OZi7wv
Full in the midst of this fair valley stood 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA27oXsSCdlj
A native theater, which, rising slow 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADEZ6gIwYDa
By just degrees, o'erlook'd the ground below. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArYuRub6EeW
High on a sylvan throne the leader sate; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q4ENI26Wk
A num'rous train attend in solemn state. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8BWcS5ndWW
Here those that in the rapid course delight, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHO6oBBjDdv
Desire of honor and the prize invite. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApurmu0JkUJ
The rival runners without order stand; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0kNOqmZFjM
The Trojans mix'd with the Sicilian band. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAP97APXdq8g
First Nisus, with Euryalus, appears; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdrJg7VnZOn
Euryalus a boy of blooming years, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdiVzxlQaWT
With sprightly grace and equal beauty crown'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJluJQAwoXo
Nisus, for friendship to the youth renown'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcsmrEwHJsR
Diores next, of Priam's royal race, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdbzCFvbIB9
Then Salius joined with Patron, took their place; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwnHKvcBam3
(But Patron in Arcadia had his birth, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAztGPD29Fni
And Salius his from Arcananian earth;) 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1g5eAGw392
Then two Sicilian youths- the names of these, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAL8ribM94B3
Swift Helymus, and lovely Panopes: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA31YWDus1WH
Both jolly huntsmen, both in forest bred, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMkzEcqtkg4
And owning old Acestes for their head; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ9m3Qf5E8
With sev'ral others of ignobler name, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8GhqXNwrTm
Whom time has not deliver'd o'er to fame. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA390ZoFOyAQ
To these the hero thus his thoughts explain'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAS8athtamY
In words which gen'ral approbation gain'd: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAT0AvMp9gDG
"One common largess is for all design'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmYUUxmhCiY
(The vanquish'd and the victor shall be join'd,) 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAf0mpkekuLi
Two darts of polish'd steel and Gnosian wood, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfxF1M3g50Y
A silver-studded ax, alike bestow'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnw6M3lxGZw
The foremost three have olive wreaths decreed: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANgVXIIOe6V
The first of these obtains a stately steed, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPBYM6eAWoS
Adorn'd with trappings; and the next in fame, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATp79wCtcBh
The quiver of an Amazonian dame, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEBjXradbuC
With feather'd Thracian arrows well supplied: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdG40YnndrL
A golden belt shall gird his manly side, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlfo3tIpQVd
Which with a sparkling diamond shall be tied. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcoPUiqlqd2
The third this Grecian helmet shall content." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMnM0SNNOsG
He said. To their appointed base they went; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATOEUamVWDX
With beating hearts th' expected sign receive, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADv9rd5s9zt
And, starting all at once, the barrier leave. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApBuhc3imy6
Spread out, as on the winged winds, they flew, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAf3OmFfwgdP
And seiz'd the distant goal with greedy view. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA53K5yIa0rS
Shot from the crowd, swift Nisus all o'erpass'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwKql8C5244
Nor storms, nor thunder, equal half his haste. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjb5x8zWhyK
The next, but tho' the next, yet far disjoin'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAqte4t5GcY7
Came Salius, and Euryalus behind; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALGjjJDmWWr
Then Helymus, whom young Diores plied, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYMRQKLdYml
Step after step, and almost side by side, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlU6unGbk3L
His shoulders pressing; and, in longer space, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArQ25789eNV
Had won, or left at least a dubious race. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAehVrN3NGS7
Now, spent, the goal they almost reach at last, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAp9xgr1B9uM
When eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAne5OJWFIs4
Slipp'd first, and, slipping, fell upon the plain, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAuipuUbsqb
Soak'd with the blood of oxen newly slain. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4V3IU6mWqb
The careless victor had not mark'd his way; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAiYfySxO4GR
But, treading where the treach'rous puddle lay, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvAUsTSrbhx
His heels flew up; and on the grassy floor 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAy1fIgEFrTt
He fell, besmear'd with filth and holy gore. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6EXtieJL4w
Not mindless then, Euryalus, of thee, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ9l1HjoLp
Nor of the sacred bonds of amity, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAbblcynVNT9
He strove th' immediate rival's hope to cross, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9mJJrQPnBN
And caught the foot of Salius as he rose. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfoPPAmJdmP
So Salius lay extended on the plain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEoXULmYcy5
Euryalus springs out, the prize to gain, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADCAZUTGvjr
And leaves the crowd: applauding peals attend 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAF2y9xeA0iJ
The victor to the goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA14udibGwsW
Next Helymus; and then Diores came, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADFevgbE6R8
By two misfortunes made the third in fame. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAO2nw39oUCy
But Salius enters, and, exclaiming loud 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALJvp2owL6P
For justice, deafens and disturbs the crowd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhDMn90zaXW
Urges his cause may in the court be heard; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0McbECgQmc
And pleads the prize is wrongfully conferr'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAu9L5Yj6rgs
But favor for Euryalus appears; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKTFkTciajk
His blooming beauty, with his tender tears, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAw8qA3NRet3
Had brib'd the judges for the promis'd prize. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXGt6yZMoBa
Besides, Diores fills the court with cries, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVvFDlvbTeR
Who vainly reaches at the last reward, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Pu2JDfwE
If the first palm on Salius be conferr'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxqs5AC1w4q
Then thus the prince: "Let no disputes arise: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEZLYxRwRcZ
Where fortune plac'd it, I award the prize. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAS5IE6m2SdI
But fortune's errors give me leave to mend, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAN2y1jfiTy1
At least to pity my deserving friend." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZl2TzrivjT
He said, and, from among the spoils, he draws 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvgSXFEvThS
(Pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws) 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATIZc9a9Odz
A lion's hide: to Salius this he gives. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAH1RDh1t0kT
Nisus with envy sees the gift, and grieves. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaucPvIlspr
"If such rewards to vanquish'd men are due." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAonGpqy7b7j
He said, "and falling is to rise by you, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6vloeYqhlu
What prize may Nisus from your bounty claim, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA28QVkVCFG9
Who merited the first rewards and fame? 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmvvfXZUUyz
In falling, both an equal fortune tried; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACHxcyr8l8t
Would fortune for my fall so well provide!" 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfvswsPcRsc
With this he pointed to his face, and show'd 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANhli8GAdn6
His hand and all his habit smear'd with blood. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnZCJSC3R3W
Th' indulgent father of the people smil'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsdcPcXVG2N
And caus'd to be produc'd an ample shield, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARsTDY7MyX3
Of wondrous art, by Didymaon wrought, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAws2FVDD47E
Long since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAayi2QLlF6T
This giv'n to Nisus, he divides the rest, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1CdsTofC62
And equal justice in his gifts express'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7RZU6RKcR7
The race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAew5qsXcEWa
Once more the princes bespeaks th' attentive crowd: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACY3i1qBjY7
"If there he here whose dauntless courage dare 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnvyyiKEvTf
In gauntlet-fight, with limbs and body bare, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANnAEk800Ko
His opposite sustain in open view, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA71Ielc7COW
Stand forth the champion, and the games renew. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOHADrWYqAq
Two prizes I propose, and thus divide: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkbFYw2s7nh
A bull with gilded horns, and fillets tied, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALtDx9dvJjN
Shall be the portion of the conqu'ring chief; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1DBz7vmqkS
A sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bx1fPdFxn
Then haughty Dares in the lists appears; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYJBwUfztyw
Stalking he strides, his head erected bears: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYUIGQ5lruU
His nervous arms the weighty gauntlet wield, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnWE5aVpPvD
And loud applauses echo thro' the field. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFFKDuCOt7a
Dares alone in combat us'd to stand 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0pE6lOalrX
The match of mighty Paris, hand to hand; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHMF5Wffxw0
The same, at Hector's fun'rals, undertook 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwVvKlzo6cY
Gigantic Butes, of th' Amycian stock, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOr2QKnCsCu
And, by the stroke of his resistless hand, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAuINYsVi4HE
Stretch'd the vast bulk upon the yellow sand. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWGt3HynNtS
Such Dares was; and such he strode along, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYvBycrZ8BN
And drew the wonder of the gazing throng. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmc00IEXC0j
His brawny back and ample breast he shows, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAR6x1TKTJSH
His lifted arms around his head he throws, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8UN50dHAwV
And deals in whistling air his empty blows. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0wSFcO6fq
His match is sought; but, thro' the trembling band, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAX1UzT2PHmU
Not one dares answer to the proud demand. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnoSIJnC22g
Presuming of his force, with sparkling eyes 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAH6CQMJlprF
Already he devours the promis'd prize. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1i77ZSoEq
He claims the bull with awless insolence, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHyKlvokEra
And having seiz'd his horns, accosts the prince: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPPKS2bWMIG
"If none my matchless valor dares oppose, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFHNAneK0vf
How long shall Dares wait his dastard foes? 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANqNESt3m5I
Permit me, chief, permit without delay, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wtjcqz1cs
To lead this uncontended gift away." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmxhAFMVczr
The crowd assents, and with redoubled cries 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAl3dMYGeFA
For the proud challenger demands the prize. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgZIhD8ORUH
Acestes, fir'd with just disdain, to see 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkNPSIwuuMW
The palm usurp'd without a victory, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZQR6spPCC
Reproach'd Entellus thus, who sate beside, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQn7MDA4600
And heard and saw, unmov'd, the Trojan's pride: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeCDUmkAOCS
"Once, but in vain, a champion of renown, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAA8BhPcXvdf
So tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcLBhrT0ZYk
A prize in triumph borne before your sight, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2E2AfQ6yUt
And shun, for fear, the danger of the fight? 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoCAF4OFinX
Where is our Eryx now, the boasted name, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvUVZ5PbYI9
The god who taught your thund'ring arm the game? 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVFMByX3GRT
Where now your baffled honor? Where the spoil 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdO7n4ABS5E
That fill'd your house, and fame that fill'd our isle?" 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAU7nOWdXUzc
Entellus, thus: "My soul is still the same, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANziWJgzESH
Unmov'd with fear, and mov'd with martial fame; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFmkysjz1vF
But my chill blood is curdled in my veins, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgldz8D3u31
And scarce the shadow of a man remains. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWRySFOmGBl
O could I turn to that fair prime again, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWDaB4bodwA
That prime of which this boaster is so vain, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAR7XmG9jhDk
The brave, who this decrepid age defies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAThCcUX0u0A
Should feel my force, without the promis'd prize." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6egitpuB1m
He said; and, rising at the word, he threw 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACwdGHyjpJO
Two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFsYFHRRc4x
Gauntlets which Eryx wont in fight to wield, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARBn4GIFRSg
And sheathe his hands with in the listed field. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJ98q6Fevj5
With fear and wonder seiz'd, the crowd beholds 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3eg523ifuH
The gloves of death, with sev'n distinguish'd folds 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARnfmnq4I9f
Of tough bull hides; the space within is spread 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6EgnR6P9ng
With iron, or with loads of heavy lead: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnXyNOEEArP
Dares himself was daunted at the sight, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWM0OhGkXlD
Renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd to fight. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAk15OdkgmtH
Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAi7Xa9CEJHD
And pois'd the pond'rous engines in his hands. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdvB0ANgY3q
"What had your wonder," said Entellus, "been, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATrxeR095no
Had you the gauntlets of Alcides seen, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzWM8VvaiFK
Or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3eudGJ6aGs
These which I bear your brother Eryx bore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAo90xSsb4ri
Still mark'd with batter'd brains and mingled gore. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUNaXGRASNQ
With these he long sustain'd th' Herculean arm; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1OaqTRrqVk
And these I wielded while my blood was warm, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ7XRxXmL7
This languish'd frame while better spirits fed, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9eECcn0ImO
Ere age unstrung my nerves, or time o'ersnow'd my head. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABCghFlwUQf
But if the challenger these arms refuse, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeBQZKpU61w
And cannot wield their weight, or dare not use; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAlxePdrIfT
If great Aeneas and Acestes join 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcu9UT2PPkX
In his request, these gauntlets I resign; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAI7vI5BYaAr
Let us with equal arms perform the fight, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUnyibnZ2Dt
And let him leave to fear, since I resign my right." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAIyPTKISeUT
This said, Entellus for the strife prepares; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlYbun6osre
Stripp'd of his quilted coat, his body bares; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2aD5QlaDzV
Compos'd of mighty bones and brawn he stands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADyZoCpY76Q
A goodly tow'ring object on the sands. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAbJaUNq64Rv
Then just Aeneas equal arms supplied, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQv37CtFh88
Which round their shoulders to their wrists they tied. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0knQ9Hh1Vm
Both on the tiptoe stand, at full extent, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvRZZ0u4CeU
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsCB8bGnYbo
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAqgMw1nrtLL
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnXkZcDwwFi
One on his youth and pliant limbs relies; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAk7tdEZDrkI
One on his sinews and his giant size. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjsaqM920Hi
The last is stiff with age, his motion slow; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwxjTQ8WSyE
He heaves for breath, he staggers to and fro, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAawBVJ7cLC7
And clouds of issuing smoke his nostrils loudly blow. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA90UF2Wqdtt
Yet equal in success, they ward, they strike; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAb1tzHNFvlV
Their ways are diff'rent, but their art alike. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAufs3cS6SJh
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFaL7ndcIjo
Their hollow sides the rattling thumps resound. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApe8bcOvq4W
A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOek68YMhHe
And errs about their temples, ears, and eyes. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0PcCExoz59
Nor always errs; for oft the gauntlet draws 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmhxdqIkZ3U
A sweeping stroke along the crackling jaws. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdDRygKELFo
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAa1dFkqsODq
But with his warping body wards the wound. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAbynDyHhoua
His hand and watchful eye keep even pace; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABUuS1cSCce
While Dares traverses and shifts his place, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3pAWWiJMB
And, like a captain who beleaguers round 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5hQmb9jSqH
Some strong-built castle on a rising ground, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1PBFlaU52f
Views all th' approaches with observing eyes: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhoC2dwfU7S
This and that other part in vain he tries, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARtH5cmscLJ
And more on industry than force relies. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAbZoKYPBda9
With hands on high, Entellus threats the foe; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJNFMj1EX8j
But Dares watch'd the motion from below, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABIi8ddTYi3
And slipp'd aside, and shunn'd the long descending blow. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVxP43gazu5
Entellus wastes his forces on the wind, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHOwDWH6X8B
And, thus deluded of the stroke design'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAm3qw1RvwMb
Headlong and heavy fell; his ample breast 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6CwItZIScz
And weighty limbs his ancient mother press'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jnke4jZUF
So falls a hollow pine, that long had stood 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVXxYhtYPzs
On Ida's height, or Erymanthus' wood, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWS3ObbPefI
Torn from the roots. The diff'ring nations rise, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAip8dxdc712
And shouts and mingled murmurs rend the skies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOQDFFPF1Gf
Acestus runs with eager haste, to raise 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAngphRMjeqQ
The fall'n companion of his youthful days. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaaTXpv4CAO
Dauntless he rose, and to the fight return'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAS8PqIfdlOx
With shame his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury burn'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmJgFN8D73y
Disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7kGZm5pzR6
And with redoubled force his foe he press'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAr3NQm0cxTg
He lays on load with either hand, amain, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2cQ8f2DNed
And headlong drives the Trojan o'er the plain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAubEvvqFzTV
Nor stops, nor stays; nor rest nor breath allows; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAu3lI2DNyRB
But storms of strokes descend about his brows, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYgVkRjPmMJ
A rattling tempest, and a hail of blows. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4BtbEKXxWp
But now the prince, who saw the wild increase 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALC818rzYRo
Of wounds, commands the combatants to cease, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAIpAIRvzLP2
And bounds Entellus' wrath, and bids the peace. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAixjAuvV02H
First to the Trojan, spent with toil, he came, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhAoWPA2TfZ
And sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAs1ZbKiflP3
"What fury seiz'd my friend? The gods," said he, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7sIfEKiQ5o
"To him propitious, and averse to thee, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAuhAD8PqQWl
Have giv'n his arm superior force to thine. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASXXtcjxHBX
'T is madness to contend with strength divine." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7ewhZZLb81
The gauntlet fight thus ended, from the shore 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxnuspjgy46
His faithful friends unhappy Dares bore: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAtpQM92MDzA
His mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAp2zzFc5BBu
And pounded teeth came rushing with his blood. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFEdqV6SLZR
Faintly he stagger'd thro' the hissing throng, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHsnWY3BBNX
And hung his head, and trail'd his legs along. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAEsVz68vSr
The sword and casque are carried by his train; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASfNpB0ftdZ
But with his foe the palm and ox remain. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMe7RA1bOhG
The champion, then, before Aeneas came, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAb6AHbjDR80
Proud of his prize, but prouder of his fame: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnl6vdEDtUY
"O goddess-born, and you, Dardanian host, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAw3ymyBHGT9
Mark with attention, and forgive my boast; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADqwk3Sl9Pr
Learn what I was, by what remains; and know 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0xeofA1ieb
From what impending fate you sav'd my foe." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAiBTLdXsMKI
Sternly he spoke, and then confronts the bull; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvR9sEzd4j0
And, on his ample forehead aiming full, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAC4CvKRkH0q
The deadly stroke, descending, pierc'd the skull. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKQyNdk04Qy
Down drops the beast, nor needs a second wound, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAy1W7onCpuS
But sprawls in pangs of death, and spurns the ground. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhHCvsPHafo
Then, thus: "In Dares' stead I offer this. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOPHHPoOCc9
Eryx, accept a nobler sacrifice; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMtZ8wvNpmX
Take the last gift my wither'd arms can yield: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAIX0banAozm
Thy gauntlets I resign, and here renounce the field." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA45vr3cz18A
This done, Aeneas orders, for the close, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjWuioWalug
The strife of archers with contending bows. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFglLaJRzjO
The mast Sergesthus' shatter'd galley bore 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ7W6Adp5x
With his own hands he raises on the shore. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOEp9wlSkDY
A flutt'ring dove upon the top they tie, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAqWM5KJVAEn
The living mark at which their arrows fly. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ3eXACZoj
The rival archers in a line advance, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANKbOQxWtI3
Their turn of shooting to receive from chance. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfHJcw6q0MS
A helmet holds their names; the lots are drawn: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAD5sYj8vVfi
On the first scroll was read Hippocoon. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9xakSXM2Dc
The people shout. Upon the next was found 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAY67IG1ycMZ
Young Mnestheus, late with naval honors crown'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAT9zr3GZAah
The third contain'd Eurytion's noble name, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASoZmNt4G6m
Thy brother, Pandarus, and next in fame, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4OedjbEgh
Whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3D2UOuyMQw
And send among the Greeks a feather'd wound. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWyuGfnj9Nk
Acestes in the bottom last remain'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAp90xkDdDmL
Whom not his age from youthful sports restrain'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJxZjBZgE8w
Soon all with vigor bend their trusty bows, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsPKbEssab1
And from the quiver each his arrow chose. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYElPkDBgLm
Hippocoon's was the first: with forceful sway 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA19fDeWkS5r
It flew, and, whizzing, cut the liquid way. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1jRbUheH1
Fix'd in the mast the feather'd weapon stands: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgAMQFNzPtU
The fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYFqIY42XCT
And the tree trembled, and the shouting cries 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfT3qBzlUVM
Of the pleas'd people rend the vaulted skies. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzWoXbWK0EX
Then Mnestheus to the head his arrow drove, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsg2tfLSWnU
With lifted eyes, and took his aim above, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPxCv0EKpsK
But made a glancing shot, and missed the dove; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7YsNBNhmpo
Yet miss'd so narrow, that he cut the cord 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3VU6Lu3ZdC
Which fasten'd by the foot the flitting bird. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFdi7GQ8dDn
The captive thus releas'd, away she flies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlyuIdv7nOs
And beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlBQ0fHwQcC
His bow already bent, Eurytion stood; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3oudtI1F4p
And, having first invok'd his brother god, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ4TE3vK4V
His winged shaft with eager haste he sped. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7r5Xjph6bm
The fatal message reach'd her as she fled: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUVxPnRewkE
She leaves her life aloft; she strikes the ground, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgp5BePCx6y
And renders back the weapon in the wound. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAo6Pf0PD7lP
Acestes, grudging at his lot, remains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAO1XoI0sa6w
Without a prize to gratify his pains. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXCrcOfrIP6
Yet, shooting upward, sends his shaft, to show 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMTu20ptODE
An archer's art, and boast his twanging bow. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAae2cwDhXDN
The feather'd arrow gave a dire portent, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlOPIVElAyp
And latter augurs judge from this event. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArlsVkG9qzK
Chaf'd by the speed, it fir'd; and, as it flew, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlXEL2zddqY
A trail of following flames ascending drew: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8tpZqxhFQz
Kindling they mount, and mark the shiny way; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAuUHzGGzcSZ
Across the skies as falling meteors play, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAc1oguishic
And vanish into wind, or in a blaze decay. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6w8uHHRo0B
The Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4bqhQ9tFYV
And, trembling, turn their wonder into pray'r. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADuGq2NCQQr
The Dardan prince put on a smiling face, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1RX0J74MwY
And strain'd Acestes with a close embrace; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0eba2nUBWT
Then, hon'ring him with gifts above the rest, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsaW8y7bcGq
Turn'd the bad omen, nor his fears confess'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaPYmgWd9Hc
"The gods," said he, "this miracle have wrought, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvEHPTFra0r
And order'd you the prize without the lot. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAJeHdnP0iF
Accept this goblet, rough with figur'd gold, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASi2TJCjoQZ
Which Thracian Cisseus gave my sire of old: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAE1q6JBE0BQ
This pledge of ancient amity receive, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUD6LhGHi3O
Which to my second sire I justly give." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAIhZqxPW5R9
He said, and, with the trumpets' cheerful sound, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFPqiReHjOh
Proclaim'd him victor, and with laurel-crown'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjc6iCxKJW2
Nor good Eurytion envied him the prize, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgs67QXwLjx
Tho' he transfix'd the pigeon in the skies. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjUQZr7KJVL
Who cut the line, with second gifts was grac'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUfB2HrBgWS
The third was his whose arrow pierc'd the mast. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAc0RaifAxVR
The chief, before the games were wholly done, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvc5F12QOAt
Call'd Periphantes, tutor to his son, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJphvxOvfsr
And whisper'd thus: "With speed Ascanius find; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeZlLDZztjV
And, if his childish troop be ready join'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3ZJh3Kde5
On horseback let him grace his grandsire's day, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWVk1GgK966
And lead his equals arm'd in just array." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADmT5p53OzQ
He said; and, calling out, the cirque he clears. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0y6tPMZyTi
The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANART7PkJWrJw
And now the noble youths, of form divine, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALMYt9BGz9Z
Advance before their fathers, in a line; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsn8koHOGCW
The riders grace the steeds; the steeds with glory shine. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFPDVNsluGo
Thus marching on in military pride, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoRwRRw0db4
Shouts of applause resound from side to side. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7S7AFEi0qR
Their casques adorn'd with laurel wreaths they wear, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjt0pE36FSa
Each brandishing aloft a cornel spear. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxXn1RpH53D
Some at their backs their gilded quivers bore; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4rSvEjxqAG
Their chains of burnish'd gold hung down before. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEGXrLQKdQC
Three graceful troops they form'd upon the green; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKuBL6UD4qD
Three graceful leaders at their head were seen; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKVlAiyy2E5
Twelve follow'd ev'ry chief, and left a space between. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADZGOhlTyaj
The first young Priam led; a lovely boy, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlbXfUaVfMQ
Whose grandsire was th' unhappy king of Troy; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZX4AzENLsB
His race in after times was known to fame, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaetOwxjiut
New honors adding to the Latian name; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7UjUbQpw1r
And well the royal boy his Thracian steed became. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4mNiaPZf8c
White were the fetlocks of his feet before, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwWxSbsnQdQ
And on his front a snowy star he bore. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcFEFcoUoU1
Then beauteous Atys, with Iulus bred, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwMK7Abl2Rp
Of equal age, the second squadron led. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACn7a9HAMC2
The last in order, but the first in place, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0wUag9yqQE
First in the lovely features of his face, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGri52eq5TC
Rode fair Ascanius on a fiery steed, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWZB2VHK3CB
Queen Dido's gift, and of the Tyrian breed. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA28FqiqYzz7
Sure coursers for the rest the king ordains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArzDO3t8je2
With golden bits adorn'd, and purple reins. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfYjvT0TCRa
The pleas'd spectators peals of shouts renew, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfqy0kDtyTO
And all the parents in the children view; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADZ1FRIKzUC
Their make, their motions, and their sprightly grace, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzqVprrmW7C
And hopes and fears alternate in their face. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAp0lLIgYv5M
Th' unfledg'd commanders and their martial train 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXyXkoiDsJq
First make the circuit of the sandy plain 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeZPaG5aMku
Around their sires, and, at th' appointed sign, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzOy8vdX4UT
Drawn up in beauteous order, form a line. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoF7amtNaMe
The second signal sounds, the troop divides 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAK9xAaffoG9
In three distinguish'd parts, with three distinguish'd guides 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAN8xmOtTWLF
Again they close, and once again disjoin; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArMSmvNTaYV
In troop to troop oppos'd, and line to line. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJHyf0XV0SN
They meet; they wheel; they throw their darts afar 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA44psW0AWEN
With harmless rage and well-dissembled war. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAn0eENF9dm9
Then in a round the mingled bodies run: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVWxdqlr3LW
Flying they follow, and pursuing shun; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvaR00pGcvf
Broken, they break; and, rallying, they renew 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7XKkVT9fCH
In other forms the military shew. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQMc5oMlKLH
At last, in order, undiscern'd they join, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAByqluGcWjF
And march together in a friendly line. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA686nFgwhKc
And, as the Cretan labyrinth of old, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaoRJVWNizj
With wand'ring ways and many a winding fold, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsFLM07Wwi5
Involv'd the weary feet, without redress, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3GrGb7mxwE
In a round error, which denied recess; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFZaIZ5Wcsu
So fought the Trojan boys in warlike play, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vajq7m7wt
Turn'd and return'd, and still a diff'rent way. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvrY82whvZj
Thus dolphins in the deep each other chase 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAanjUpuO5gv
In circles, when they swim around the wat'ry race. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAO2qfRCGnAO
This game, these carousels, Ascanius taught; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEcVOiJjWki
And, building Alba, to the Latins brought; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApiVanAXNLz
Shew'd what he learn'd: the Latin sires impart 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4P3NrHuqzI
To their succeeding sons the graceful art; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYMMoAsywFP
From these imperial Rome receiv'd the game, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdK8BcIW3Ri
Which Troy, the youths the Trojan troop, they name. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0PLrwiMqpZ
Thus far the sacred sports they celebrate: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwhmnsMi0hF
But Fortune soon resum'd her ancient hate; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMhDt7qxeXK
For, while they pay the dead his annual dues, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArLRMQjjmEt
Those envied rites Saturnian Juno views; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYQl0oMjXnn
And sends the goddess of the various bow, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANyelwikL8V
To try new methods of revenge below; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdsMq1OeGve
Supplies the winds to wing her airy way, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXyZRF03HoW
Where in the port secure the navy lay. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATQpByucbvP
Swiftly fair Iris down her arch descends, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgajvvR0u5A
And, undiscern'd, her fatal voyage ends. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnoIPZ6zMPy
She saw the gath'ring crowd; and, gliding thence, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADdHIL9BFw5
The desart shore, and fleet without defense. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAy24eXKR6SG
The Trojan matrons, on the sands alone, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4WFvPuCZj8
With sighs and tears Anchises' death bemoan; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfht3dh2kWJ
Then, turning to the sea their weeping eyes, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1KPpM7zRHp
Their pity to themselves renews their cries. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHiaHaLKbW7
"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7rwDzNIW6H
For us to sail! what labors to sustain!" 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3AoJ997uV1
All take the word, and, with a gen'ral groan, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaAiQaONZ9S
Implore the gods for peace, and places of their own. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANADjxUhJeSiX
The goddess, great in mischief, views their pains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUmu96nNaE6
And in a woman's form her heav'nly limbs restrains. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmxxOjdXL7G
In face and shape old Beroe she became, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwr1qI3gZxZ
Doryclus' wife, a venerable dame, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAyu4mOOt8IH
Once blest with riches, and a mother's name. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAY6GRLKFLUb
Thus chang'd, amidst the crying crowd she ran, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1ddDstnF1j
Mix'd with the matrons, and these words began: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcgnF03D2cB
"O wretched we, whom not the Grecian pow'r, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABUEMWxO1up
Nor flames, destroy'd, in Troy's unhappy hour! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATqdrCoEMY5
O wretched we, reserv'd by cruel fate, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4wmhsnsITd
Beyond the ruins of the sinking state! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3wc0WqfUs3
Now sev'n revolving years are wholly run, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANApBcJYwioaL
Since this improsp'rous voyage we begun; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASF6NZcsdCM
Since, toss'd from shores to shores, from lands to lands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfdN4dgqbRc
Inhospitable rocks and barren sands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA706fTv69qG
Wand'ring in exile thro' the stormy sea, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHJuSlViimv
We search in vain for flying Italy. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKbZyFDUYKL
Now cast by fortune on this kindred land, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAag50GJoSHR
What should our rest and rising walls withstand, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhEGu6yt6yQ
Or hinder here to fix our banish'd band? 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATvuHLxxDDK
O country lost, and gods redeem'd in vain, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHgoXEEKetL
If still in endless exile we remain! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmjGZiJYaAx
Shall we no more the Trojan walls renew, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwtlkGppUi3
Or streams of some dissembled Simois view! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAW3xuTw1PXm
Haste, join with me, th' unhappy fleet consume! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7nDL4a3tSk
Cassandra bids; and I declare her doom. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAb78CohpIKU
In sleep I saw her; she supplied my hands 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA376JxwlCf8
(For this I more than dreamt) with flaming brands: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAugA2AQVY1i
'With these,' said she, 'these wand'ring ships destroy: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXKyVij0z4x
These are your fatal seats, and this your Troy.' 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgdefwSv9Om
Time calls you now; the precious hour employ: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARqdq4X0Rie
Slack not the good presage, while Heav'n inspires 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAv4WV1UePwL
Our minds to dare, and gives the ready fires. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPODJfDh18H
See! Neptune's altars minister their brands: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoSd3P3uIHM
The god is pleas'd; the god supplies our hands." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARjZqGmeZeN
Then from the pile a flaming fire she drew, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5swdIj9G1E
And, toss'd in air, amidst the galleys threw. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWb6yPBbjQI
Wrapp'd in amaze, the matrons wildly stare: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArrArpYc0Gn
Then Pyrgo, reverenc'd for her hoary hair, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnk826CXdJ8
Pyrgo, the nurse of Priam's num'rous race: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAE7sfWJmv1Y
"No Beroe this, tho' she belies her face! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEHkjZ5Qc3O
What terrors from her frowning front arise! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvvtsDMejgS
Behold a goddess in her ardent eyes! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAiBYgdgp8s3
What rays around her heav'nly face are seen! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZIYgQsvJcI
Mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mien! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFVrBw31BRf
Beroe but now I left, whom, pin'd with pain, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAo6xk6rHJuJ
Her age and anguish from these rites detain," 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAiJR0gWKy1R
She said. The matrons, seiz'd with new amaze, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlDyDHzTsgz
Roll their malignant eyes, and on the navy gaze. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAK5kfMct7uM
They fear, and hope, and neither part obey: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArbLszFcp3k
They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0UvJWWvL4f
The goddess, having done her task below, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAppRsO7tAsT
Mounts up on equal wings, and bends her painted bow. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAep9vkqWnps
Struck with the sight, and seiz'd with rage divine, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9xVF4LLFh3
The matrons prosecute their mad design: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwyAKS7e6pI
They shriek aloud; they snatch, with impious hands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAThrHv8BdK4
The food of altars; fires and flaming brands. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1lQY4a5hoz
Green boughs and saplings, mingled in their haste, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAONfwwpPf3L
And smoking torches, on the ships they cast. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArIhiy0kma7
The flame, unstopp'd at first, more fury gains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaefsqOMgtG
And Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA69ehRp56Qe
Triumphant to the painted sterns he soars, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAewY0ZFAEIs
And seizes, in this way, the banks and crackling oars. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOmuKznzgKk
Eumelus was the first the news to bear, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3XeD3biMN9
While yet they crowd the rural theater. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAbP3mBGs9Xb
Then, what they hear, is witness'd by their eyes: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvBJysg0Vuy
A storm of sparkles and of flames arise. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcCpNhmHFPl
Ascanius took th' alarm, while yet he led 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxPunpsQBxD
His early warriors on his prancing steed, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAd24Gu4YxKx
And, spurring on, his equals soon o'erpass'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAC2zbhkucJm
Nor could his frighted friends reclaim his haste. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAogqrbpWZJl
Soon as the royal youth appear'd in view, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdxwvaaITPY
He sent his voice before him as he flew: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAgNZhkXCYyD
"What madness moves you, matrons, to destroy 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2yz7ImoxiH
The last remainders of unhappy Troy! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYJpyINyvdT
Not hostile fleets, but your own hopes, you burn, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAflw3OFcfLF
And on your friends your fatal fury turn. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAExEtkzCNZs
Behold your own Ascanius!" While he said, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcjLUF5SNnh
He drew his glitt'ring helmet from his head, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhRCSLMqAKD
In which the youths to sportful arms he led. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7HwGzJlOWU
By this, Aeneas and his train appear; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7I4bEuLld3
And now the women, seiz'd with shame and fear, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4L8f4eDf1u
Dispers'd, to woods and caverns take their flight, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKWEwpQP0Vk
Abhor their actions, and avoid the light; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAX2acLnqPQw
Their friends acknowledge, and their error find, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQVV7gKeXmg
And shake the goddess from their alter'd mind. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANGFJenOiLG
Not so the raging fires their fury cease, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMf4pmEkILu
But, lurking in the seams, with seeming peace, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAifmq85QQUK
Work on their way amid the smold'ring tow, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWglYVnwXLV
Sure in destruction, but in motion slow. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAiLRAq2llfc
The silent plague thro' the green timber eats, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASvGLiTOGOj
And vomits out a tardy flame by fits. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEkZS71be94
Down to the keels, and upward to the sails, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAP0xQwhvxaX
The fire descends, or mounts, but still prevails; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvbNSOIB8FH
Nor buckets pour'd, nor strength of human hand, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAud5huY0bLg
Can the victorious element withstand. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAC41cPsyWeN
The pious hero rends his robe, and throws 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFmUYr6z5Cb
To heav'n his hands, and with his hands his vows. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeJWjZVN8WK
"O Jove," he cried, "if pray'rs can yet have place; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMgXPs3YFee
If thou abhorr'st not all the Dardan race; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjt1m5aRCMq
If any spark of pity still remain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUvi6xdZj6W
If gods are gods, and not invok'd in vain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0mcIDKNIze
Yet spare the relics of the Trojan train! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxOZOQsxVNi
Yet from the flames our burning vessels free, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACalRAjCIHB
Or let thy fury fall alone on me! 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHGQn7k6Ulz
At this devoted head thy thunder throw, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7a5jRknG80
And send the willing sacrifice below!" 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0gOopElxQ0
Scarce had he said, when southern storms arise: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArYwZelSeiv
From pole to pole the forky lightning flies; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFn4c8QcndX
Loud rattling shakes the mountains and the plain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAIEQMVFQePW
Heav'n bellies downward, and descends in rain. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAI0Ys5fYqw1
Whole sheets of water from the clouds are sent, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWyjotk65VE
Which, hissing thro' the planks, the flames prevent, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAC0e7gtGUlz
And stop the fiery pest. Four ships alone 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAywpT8PawsG
Burn to the waist, and for the fleet atone. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAczvYJ7ZB45
But doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHiMRPFksB1
If he should still in Sicily reside, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfbtCwfYEoQ
Forgetful of his fates, or tempt the main, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA16SbGRKlvY
In hope the promis'd Italy to gain. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWuFdgSrCm3
Then Nautes, old and wise, to whom alone 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1TdjZZWSPx
The will of Heav'n by Pallas was foreshown; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAVl8BOIF1Xo
Vers'd in portents, experienc'd, and inspir'd 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3jdcIW25rS
To tell events, and what the fates requir'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAq1M173nXot
Thus while he stood, to neither part inclin'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAENkjqbxTBe
With cheerful words reliev'd his lab'ring mind: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACIS5BuE48r
"O goddess-born, resign'd in ev'ry state, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3enHGHP0e
With patience bear, with prudence push your fate. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ1PolhIOv
By suff'ring well, our Fortune we subdue; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEx8EvzaEso
Fly when she frowns, and, when she calls, pursue. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8tsYnfDjb1
Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcG59VmiWq3
To him disclose the secrets of your mind: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAE8amzzK1rR
Trust in his hands your old and useless train; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOOUftpAFYD
Too num'rous for the ships which yet remain: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5rLhZscVmw
The feeble, old, indulgent of their ease, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAukscADyvyd
The dames who dread the dangers of the seas, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYUQE3w3qH0
With all the dastard crew, who dare not stand 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0PmsEj8eLZ
The shock of battle with your foes by land. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAqAtWoM6S9b
Here you may build a common town for all, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALlj3JLWESn
And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYudNKTVU4X
The reasons, with his friend's experience join'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2c3jlB9pXk
Encourag'd much, but more disturb'd his mind. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAO3c3cZpTEY
'T was dead of night; when to his slumb'ring eyes 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5fxS2IyWRm
His father's shade descended from the skies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJCtuLox4vs
And thus he spoke: "O more than vital breath, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsm4ODY7VpM
Lov'd while I liv'd, and dear ev'n after death; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8YJwDsdqUV
O son, in various toils and troubles toss'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANANoCHM9VphA
The King of Heav'n employs my careful ghost 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXiatbuheDG
On his commands: the god, who sav'd from fire 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUQyJbmgK04
Your flaming fleet, and heard your just desire. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHtpqVo0yLC
The wholesome counsel of your friend receive, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAD5NG8dc4z0
And here the coward train and woman leave: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKCeOtilcCF
The chosen youth, and those who nobly dare, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2ykYTFeHcA
Transport, to tempt the dangers of the war. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA17EzWtqveC
The stern Italians will their courage try; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA794t8TG0Pa
Rough are their manners, and their minds are high. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3g1OezFl2U
But first to Pluto's palace you shall go, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZIaRpNvHM
And seek my shade among the blest below: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6xbJcg9sBE
For not with impious ghosts my soul remains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAUCUTNVd87N
Nor suffers with the damn'd perpetual pains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABGdFUSwg3E
But breathes the living air of soft Elysian plains. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjigzynBZ0o
The chaste Sibylla shall your steps convey, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhCrniHl0Pm
And blood of offer'd victims free the way. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA95PLQdJ7jW
There shall you know what realms the gods assign, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhPkcwO5bBN
And learn the fates and fortunes of your line. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAtTufJSn4rz
But now, farewell! I vanish with the night, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATCyqYMsukn
And feel the blast of heav'n's approaching light." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHMlRiDrAbF
He said, and mix'd with shades, and took his airy flight. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAst2WBqZsMy
"Whither so fast?" the filial duty cried; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAC1du26QqGI
"And why, ah why, the wish'd embrace denied?" 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAh5jkzbbERF
He said, and rose; as holy zeal inspires, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHPyQAFEYoD
He rakes hot embers, and renews the fires; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0fSNWlhGh2
His country gods and Vesta then adores 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAn6HSZI67P6
With cakes and incense, and their aid implores. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQl3ZtfhROE
Next, for his friends and royal host he sent, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATSI2MOeTBg
Reveal'd his vision, and the gods' intent, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFExCv4zQYN
With his own purpose. All, without delay, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdqWVMxoIaY
The will of Jove, and his desires obey. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALK0s6hQY7U
They list with women each degenerate name, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAYjF8GUUjq
Who dares not hazard life for future fame. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANASI4iBn7iVU
These they cashier: the brave remaining few, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAqVFRoaGsR1
Oars, banks, and cables, half consum'd, renew. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5Me88C8anr
The prince designs a city with the plow; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoJnE43TII7
The lots their sev'ral tenements allow. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8LykSZxi3C
This part is nam'd from Ilium, that from Troy, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3WnSfSVxxY
And the new king ascends the throne with joy; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA13pgVpAYP6
A chosen senate from the people draws; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAqNcbDF9QTN
Appoints the judges, and ordains the laws. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEFMsPpfyS4
Then, on the top of Eryx, they begin 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWhtLFqGXja
A rising temple to the Paphian queen. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABxII68zYW9
Anchises, last, is honor'd as a god; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAV0bcvDeJBa
A priest is added, annual gifts bestow'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcxuxn3CV5K
And groves are planted round his blest abode. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8N3gdc3gX2
Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjuTgId0QZB
And fumes of incense in the fanes abound. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFNiJabBcJe
Then from the south arose a gentle breeze 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ERfOzPP5
That curl'd the smoothness of the glassy seas; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pw1ZWWCGr
The rising winds a ruffling gale afford, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAOBAFBQJ3hV
And call the merry mariners aboard. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAl5PKZtIlrB
Now loud laments along the shores resound, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAANwZUD51u6
Of parting friends in close embraces bound. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4iBXCDP7vG
The trembling women, the degenerate train, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAZEAPplJeAU
Who shunn'd the frightful dangers of the main, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAL4wlnxvB4G
Ev'n those desire to sail, and take their share 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArYqNcHxy2B
Of the rough passage and the promis'd war: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArUpqEfS532
Whom good Aeneas cheers, and recommends 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsAgXFUgvPK
To their new master's care his fearful friends. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0zPQV1ajQ0
On Eryx's altars three fat calves he lays; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXdAHuJJ9No
A lamb new-fallen to the stormy seas; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8UgLDp4AUz
Then slips his haulsers, and his anchors weighs. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAhmnyjjOZBK
High on the deck the godlike hero stands, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAobmZJks84
With olive crown'd, a charger in his hands; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAi6jvwV8OCs
Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9qNKX5BKT4
And pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfljiabW7FA
Fresh gales arise; with equal strokes they vie, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfNvEMQQ2tv
And brush the buxom seas, and o'er the billows fly. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAicbfKQs5OJ
Meantime the mother goddess, full of fears, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGf47cAWkpc
To Neptune thus address'd, with tender tears: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAv1TdKmTioT
"The pride of Jove's imperious queen, the rage, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA63YiSIPslj
The malice which no suff'rings can assuage, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPIApSmUpZq
Compel me to these pray'rs; since neither fate, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAad8gri2AQo
Nor time, nor pity, can remove her hate: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAXwVDZdG1X
Ev'n Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAyG9ZejA2d4
Still vanquish'd, yet she still renews the strife. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA14Br8MXWWx
As if 't were little to consume the town 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdeiErYc3yI
Which aw'd the world, and wore th' imperial crown, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEtaDQrKK4b
She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAqQyD1LXpH
And gnaws, ev'n to the bones, the last remains. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAIh9wt4glQB
Let her the causes of her hatred tell; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAuWqYVocVbZ
But you can witness its effects too well. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6rAs1apOmJ
You saw the storm she rais'd on Libyan floods, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAeWl05THetK
That mix'd the mounting billows with the clouds; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7ynfVz5dO
When, bribing Aeolus, she shook the main, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAGxhDoFDrnV
And mov'd rebellion in your wat'ry reign. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAMLlxZA13mU
With fury she possess'd the Dardan dames, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkNLRIDNWcX
To burn their fleet with execrable flames, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzhdM8jlVdg
And forc'd Aeneas, when his ships were lost, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAj7snpIPnRW
To leave his foll'wers on a foreign coast. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJwhkcxwlvb
For what remains, your godhead I implore, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3yl4UTfhEl
And trust my son to your protecting pow'r. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAJaGSlYzXNq
If neither Jove's nor Fate's decree withstand, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsBlkYRD4p9
Secure his passage to the Latian land." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3dE2IfetqN
Then thus the mighty Ruler of the Main: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWcYDAa5ypF
"What may not Venus hope from Neptune's reign? 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYWmAeqmFBk
My kingdom claims your birth; my late defense 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAnWZtOaF9Y
Of your indanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAcUkIsMCTZ0
Nor less by land than sea my deeds declare 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA1OslpNZLkB
How much your lov'd Aeneas is my care. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPGmy8aDQRl
Thee, Xanthus, and thee, Simois, I attest. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAlunCVBFzrd
Your Trojan troops when proud Achilles press'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAC6xGrZ4wG4
And drove before him headlong on the plain, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYVFfryZd4p
And dash'd against the walls the trembling train; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA406yux0wZK
When floods were fill'd with bodies of the slain; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZRzHCsVgk
When crimson Xanthus, doubtful of his way, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5eAMHmRkVe
Stood up on ridges to behold the sea; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAdOdUr8fWXr
(New heaps came tumbling in, and chok'd his way;) 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4X17IuC1q3
When your Aeneas fought, but fought with odds 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYRyS36Pn1A
Of force unequal, and unequal gods; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAY49EKw6TL6
I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsoqFEqdjcB
Sustain'd the vanquish'd, and secur'd his flight; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAjzDPiHzFaK
Ev'n then secur'd him, when I sought with joy 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwTZ3Qk1JSO
The vow'd destruction of ungrateful Troy. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfP2PXi3h4n
My will's the same: fair goddess, fear no more, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwxIHkoXf4H
Your fleet shall safely gain the Latian shore; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAulatmYFUBO
Their lives are giv'n; one destin'd head alone 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAG9xWkjSCN4
Shall perish, and for multitudes atone." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9MDv3mypFA
Thus having arm'd with hopes her anxious mind, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAsUpCY8FSR
His finny team Saturnian Neptune join'd, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAzpbMqZVW16
Then adds the foamy bridle to their jaws, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAPMfUPlg4od
And to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA67SnE0O7Ho
High on the waves his azure car he guides; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAaMn4YbbWMI
Its axles thunder, and the sea subsides, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAfY9DrGBEd
And the smooth ocean rolls her silent tides. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArq1g1WtgCz
The tempests fly before their father's face, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWblr0knK0S
Trains of inferior gods his triumph grace, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAsikUEAvZsB
And monster whales before their master play, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANArEwfaaE4u8
And choirs of Tritons crowd the wat'ry way. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAxPVkurtDYb
The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHAEdeUaCHd
To right and left; the gods his better side 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA5MeWVwxWWN
Inclose, and on the worse the Nymphs and Nereids ride. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACqiJukQ0Ut
Now smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACdfrgq2Jsr
Within the hero's mind his joys renew'd. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAyRPtYR6Z9Q
He calls to raise the masts, the sheets display; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA0ypNfGo1Gy
The cheerful crew with diligence obey; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAP3BsrmxXJc
They scud before the wind, and sail in open sea. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3YnPp6GBv2
Ahead of all the master pilot steers; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAAItJvHivpP
And, as he leads, the following navy veers. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYHhAMqn2TM
The steeds of Night had travel'd half the sky, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAiuIjQLL7yK
The drowsy rowers on their benches lie, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAkfNffssW4Z
When the soft God of Sleep, with easy flight, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAKlT4VTRs2q
Descends, and draws behind a trail of light. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7U2MXgFSwU
Thou, Palinurus, art his destin'd prey; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAyxManFHHYj
To thee alone he takes his fatal way. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACKXphi9foI
Dire dreams to thee, and iron sleep, he bears; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2DBsGRWzEB
And, lighting on thy prow, the form of Phorbas wears. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAQwQOqcXLfb
Then thus the traitor god began his tale: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANARPzIwLRjZA
"The winds, my friend, inspire a pleasing gale; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAwYzo8cZRzE
The ships, without thy care, securely sail. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA6FzueaQX2Q
Now steal an hour of sweet repose; and I 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAR5LJ2yh17F
Will take the rudder and thy room supply." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8G38WSoCQN
To whom the yawning pilot, half asleep: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA2fL88E3IFF
"Me dost thou bid to trust the treach'rous deep, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAXg9T6mxfzR
The harlot smiles of her dissembling face, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAoTBW3PvhR5
And to her faith commit the Trojan race? 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAEyVjWFXpbT
Shall I believe the Siren South again, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAo8jrmB9C4w
And, oft betray'd, not know the monster main?" 1288Please respect copyright.PENANACSliORpuvQ
He said: his fasten'd hands the rudder keep, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAv3ITv5nUvB
And, fix'd on heav'n, his eyes repel invading sleep. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmG5Iv5bDUE
The god was wroth, and at his temples threw 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAynlClKIJ4M
A branch in Lethe dipp'd, and drunk with Stygian dew: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ3SVTyDBl
The pilot, vanquish'd by the pow'r divine, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAWJNdjmccPr
Soon clos'd his swimming eyes, and lay supine. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAegdzmQqe7k
Scarce were his limbs extended at their length, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAqalg0R9iOK
The god, insulting with superior strength, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAM9mL5YHFkB
Fell heavy on him, plung'd him in the sea, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA87NwD1pFlJ
And, with the stern, the rudder tore away. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfX71CLZuea
Headlong he fell, and, struggling in the main, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAIFdq1Ody3W
Cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABNc2I2mMR4
The victor daemon mounts obscure in air, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA9nhjf71wJ4
While the ship sails without the pilot's care. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAb0YGBMkj6d
On Neptune's faith the floating fleet relies; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAmc3EVQZcPV
But what the man forsook, the god supplies, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvj3KPF998f
And o'er the dang'rous deep secure the navy flies; 1288Please respect copyright.PENANATHaICLhE3b
Glides by the Sirens' cliffs, a shelfy coast, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAfqk41iNKVL
Long infamous for ships and sailors lost, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAvbwiNCLjk7
And white with bones. Th' impetuous ocean roars, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA4xOmeilIhK
And rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAYSagNW0Ez4
The watchful hero felt the knocks, and found 1288Please respect copyright.PENANABkDHF8Aar2
The tossing vessel sail'd on shoaly ground. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANALzzInUawsY
Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA7bml2bQK1u
The helm, and steers aloof, and shuns the shelf. 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA8aCav8K5qN
Inly he griev'd, and, groaning from the breast, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAFHdNLXKK3h
Deplor'd his death; and thus his pain express'd: 1288Please respect copyright.PENANA3zeRfxoC4P
"For faith repos'd on seas, and on the flatt'ring sky, 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAX2H9rEQlm1
Thy naked corpse is doom'd on shores unknown to lie." 1288Please respect copyright.PENANAHJBR8fthGW
