Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlb2aoFSRhd
Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2sBAV9RPLX
Then, casting back his eyes, with dire amaze, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkFr8tYrBiv
Sees on the Punic shore the mounting blaze. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4E9iT9i8RQ
The cause unknown; yet his presaging mind 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHCHVqiEP4b
The fate of Dido from the fire divin'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAScKnXwuxOG
He knew the stormy souls of womankind, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAa0h1RO4mXT
What secret springs their eager passions move, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArz8BbcNkyR
How capable of death for injur'd love. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxrRJsQOK3X
Dire auguries from hence the Trojans draw; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbHJaFB1sEO
Till neither fires nor shining shores they saw. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8IOXaAn6p8
Now seas and skies their prospect only bound; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoiJVCn0NKn
An empty space above, a floating field around. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4lnCDGzZf8
But soon the heav'ns with shadows were o'erspread; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAucejIqhRHC
A swelling cloud hung hov'ring o'er their head: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAT92EW6Y40t
Livid it look'd, the threat'ning of a storm: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAETvvmUsmKk
Then night and horror ocean's face deform. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6na6StAxjv
The pilot, Palinurus, cried aloud: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWrNuc6etDT
"What gusts of weather from that gath'ring cloud 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAr8TdGdoaHy
My thoughts presage! Ere yet the tempest roars, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMEk7tLKW58
Stand to your tackle, mates, and stretch your oars; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVjDeeCwMPI
Contract your swelling sails, and luff to wind." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARQLqR2aEFP
The frighted crew perform the task assign'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHSbdLdsY7o
Then, to his fearless chief: "Not Heav'n," said he, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgQHHyYpA7P
"Tho' Jove himself should promise Italy, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApWloHaQa0j
Can stem the torrent of this raging sea. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0fFsZEax2h
Mark how the shifting winds from west arise, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxBLDIBJ72T
And what collected night involves the skies! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQBRw22fRAE
Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxHrB9AP0Q6
Much less against the tempest force their way. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1f4mst1uVI
'T is fate diverts our course, and fate we must obey. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADGfTLHT6WB
Not far from hence, if I observ'd aright 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArmIuQlhNqN
The southing of the stars, and polar light, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8AZHrgDpS
Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAt1lLV0fNlm
In safety we may reach with struggling oars." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASz08plja7D
Aeneas then replied: "Too sure I find 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAeYMH0tQP1n
We strive in vain against the seas and wind: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgRpKQSSxDB
Now shift your sails; what place can please me more 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUenbdCOzOl
Than what you promise, the Sicilian shore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZq2ARtgaj5
Whose hallow'd earth Anchises' bones contains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFLGMFQCdHS
And where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns?" 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAp3bsq7QTaL
The course resolv'd, before the western wind 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwQIPtBXpjK
They scud amain, and make the port assign'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATLqqIioZpi
Meantime Acestes, from a lofty stand, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANAqouuiTqN
Beheld the fleet descending on the land; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPuJh8fOJs5
And, not unmindful of his ancient race, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABOYQA1yo1e
Down from the cliff he ran with eager pace, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAp4B7ihsMMR
And held the hero in a strict embrace. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmki0Zz5XpB
Of a rough Libyan bear the spoils he wore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdbiqAdAcbK
And either hand a pointed jav'lin bore. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATV5LDxDCwo
His mother was a dame of Dardan blood; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2PMHTREKbA
His sire Crinisus, a Sicilian flood. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4ngjWsbozU
He welcomes his returning friends ashore 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApt78gcEsxR
With plenteous country cates and homely store. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAeWrvOLYvB7
Now, when the following morn had chas'd away 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaBu3gm8OTt
The flying stars, and light restor'd the day, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1GJPSX9Ehg
Aeneas call'd the Trojan troops around, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAqdp3W4l4Ti
And thus bespoke them from a rising ground: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA54wBu5zVDb
"Offspring of heav'n, divine Dardanian race! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAslm63PmcRx
The sun, revolving thro' th' ethereal space, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALLEV68d8m2
The shining circle of the year has fill'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARSrIVR5Jzv
Since first this isle my father's ashes held: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsbGe7zJwyN
And now the rising day renews the year; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwKs817DCku
A day for ever sad, for ever dear. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgF6OodG45Z
This would I celebrate with annual games, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhPgO2UnhjP
With gifts on altars pil'd, and holy flames, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAO4SLVFV2ZS
Tho' banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7ulK2Xt2j1
Caught on the Grecian seas, or hostile lands: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y0S7rH0B6
But since this happy storm our fleet has driv'n 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtk5OStaHVB
(Not, as I deem, without the will of Heav'n) 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAS2dOh4rP8t
Upon these friendly shores and flow'ry plains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2xrU97arb
Which hide Anchises and his blest remains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmlz9UO1JMA
Let us with joy perform his honors due, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAND3eVxEaxD
And pray for prosp'rous winds, our voyage to renew; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZui0XqDB4W
Pray, that in towns and temples of our own, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABYSHz1Tvb5
The name of great Anchises may be known, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5atYRXkU9S
And yearly games may spread the gods' renown. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkAZjJAgfsl
Our sports Acestes, of the Trojan race, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtbbbRhFi58
With royal gifts ordain'd, is pleas'd to grace: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAS4g1dUlFx6
Two steers on ev'ry ship the king bestows; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfHHFnmo5Sm
His gods and ours shall share your equal vows. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2r042KDxjx
Besides, if, nine days hence, the rosy morn 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAV09VOt8W4k
Shall with unclouded light the skies adorn, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAk51qXIw46E
That day with solemn sports I mean to grace: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADFPPUOwU6h
Light galleys on the seas shall run a wat'ry race; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3GbtZHVQaj
Some shall in swiftness for the goal contend, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUViQbyYq9i
And others try the twanging bow to bend; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnqjVqy6mo5
The strong, with iron gauntlets arm'd, shall stand 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7ngpvvHZxL
Oppos'd in combat on the yellow sand. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAp7TunP3IYt
Let all be present at the games prepar'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjsdG4gpSe5
And joyful victors wait the just reward. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8iNJnWaSN
But now assist the rites, with garlands crown'd." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJePfADEccE
He said, and first his brows with myrtle bound. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzPfH7qU7ZE
Then Helymus, by his example led, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAORDEZhc1pW
And old Acestes, each adorn'd his head; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxqETBH9kkv
Thus young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASF7qYdCwAU
His temples tied, and all the Trojan race. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA04NuIZFuIv
Aeneas then advanc'd amidst the train, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATLFOdHjYnI
By thousands follow'd thro' the flow'ry plain, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGb3c7Prhf3
To great Anchises' tomb; which when he found, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuri6hI7Lof
He pour'd to Bacchus, on the hallow'd ground, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFxyeNh4niO
Two bowls of sparkling wine, of milk two more, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARLAil0RbE1
And two (from offer'd bulls) of purple gore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAt9NFswFYN1
With roses then the sepulcher he strow'd 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAv0qcR348fS
And thus his father's ghost bespoke aloud: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJ095EhITtv
"Hail, O ye holy manes! hail again, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4yE2ANhdeK
Paternal ashes, now review'd in vain! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmWga2I8IRO
The gods permitted not, that you, with me, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAj5NCyiqLXG
Should reach the promis'd shores of Italy, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACaNjp3Oo9s
Or Tiber's flood, what flood soe'er it be." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQbyvzhDt3k
Scarce had he finish'd, when, with speckled pride, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACXrGHrF74a
A serpent from the tomb began to glide; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA90RWIoA3e2
His hugy bulk on sev'n high volumes roll'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcQVvGcKFA8
Blue was his breadth of back, but streak'd with scaly gold: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEkSyL2Izgd
Thus riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAq2NZ74ExQ
A rolling fire along, and singe the grass. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAl0CKzHZGXq
More various colors thro' his body run, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAeo4uskMcAt
Than Iris when her bow imbibes the sun. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtv1Q6wZRij
Betwixt the rising altars, and around, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEnWYmiRBCe
The sacred monster shot along the ground; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAT6BKAYOFCL
With harmless play amidst the bowls he pass'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZa0fcgPS6I
And with his lolling tongue assay'd the taste: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApfUwNszNT7
Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOa7JHBe5Yv
Within the hollow tomb retir'd to rest. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgs5yX7UM4o
The pious prince, surpris'd at what he view'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABAz88id2L1
The fun'ral honors with more zeal renew'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAq5THrtRFFe
Doubtful if this place's genius were, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Jipi6q7K
Or guardian of his father's sepulcher. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADTMQ81gcXo
Five sheep, according to the rites, he slew; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5RrXhoumrF
As many swine, and steers of sable hue; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAC78xy8HHYE
New gen'rous wine he from the goblets pour'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAX8H4xrW9Dz
And call'd his father's ghost, from hell restor'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJORHO1QOBN
The glad attendants in long order come, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAD4tlc0s3Mt
Off'ring their gifts at great Anchises' tomb: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7UEt4udXfH
Some add more oxen: some divide the spoil; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAV60Pd3IvMu
Some place the chargers on the grassy soil; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwhzj1Rkcd1
Some blow the fires, and off entrails broil. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFKYPKVdYjQ
Now came the day desir'd. The skies were bright 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyZgX20GVAj
With rosy luster of the rising light: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAx2WGeGTadU
The bord'ring people, rous'd by sounding fame 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuBZZB00WRy
Of Trojan feasts and great Acestes' name, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJBPEgoIKCL
The crowded shore with acclamations fill, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJYJPDQOu5l
Part to behold, and part to prove their skill. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHmE1W4ycRD
And first the gifts in public view they place, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAplfyXrEaax
Green laurel wreaths, and palm, the victors' grace: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8QkXYIpr5j
Within the circle, arms and tripods lie, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4fvp2JRtJq
Ingots of gold and silver, heap'd on high, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYcyl9W4Hr7
And vests embroider'd, of the Tyrian dye. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAra4nWAkSyQ
The trumpet's clangor then the feast proclaims, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAI4HgeHFhL
And all prepare for their appointed games. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgkgDu9KTZg
Four galleys first, which equal rowers bear, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHXJ0sCYdCQ
Advancing, in the wat'ry lists appear. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZsFUacl62
The speedy Dolphin, that outstrips the wind, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARpxtTgKmSz
Bore Mnestheus, author of the Memmian kind: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzt3XNflTFz
Gyas the vast Chimaera's bulk commands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKErUIHFHp9
Which rising, like a tow'ring city stands; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAspRm7f6DQv
Three Trojans tug at ev'ry lab'ring oar; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVmmi0FYbCC
Three banks in three degrees the sailors bore; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATHzydjheqW
Beneath their sturdy strokes the billows roar. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALXq48gHQuV
Sergesthus, who began the Sergian race, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAhP9JY2Xqf
In the great Centaur took the leading place; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALCjyJ1i4EG
Cloanthus on the sea-green Scylla stood, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkWLXiNkbfy
From whom Cluentius draws his Trojan blood. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdLgTikRW56
Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfrfDJESqzh
There stands a rock: the raging billows roar 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMEGjB1jN3J
Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmWyXcUKesl
Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzz3AHxH9Nx
In peace below the gentle waters run; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAXd8atLXpN1
The cormorants above lie basking in the sun. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYHWFJIsvpv
On this the hero fix'd an oak in sight, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoNanPDJ2zE
The mark to guide the mariners aright. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIn0iAuvt6e
To bear with this, the seamen stretch their oars; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAiolSv3Zdjz
Then round the rock they steer, and seek the former shores. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9zYnWql48P
The lots decide their place. Above the rest, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5MIActmHms
Each leader shining in his Tyrian vest; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8N7GFddaff
The common crew with wreaths of poplar boughs 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5sWuKh959n
Their temples crown, and shade their sweaty brows: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAADDGv7YbGc
Besmear'd with oil, their naked shoulders shine. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALG6Ax1zfVK
All take their seats, and wait the sounding sign: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAccycoawNy7
They gripe their oars; and ev'ry panting breast 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1H3T7FgeIo
Is rais'd by turns with hope, by turns with fear depress'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlL7aH7W2w6
The clangor of the trumpet gives the sign; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgOIVqOASPa
At once they start, advancing in a line: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6moEzPxQFO
With shouts the sailors rend the starry skies; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHe2YtfiGQi
Lash'd with their oars, the smoky billows rise; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhrL8KAmWOD
Sparkles the briny main, and the vex'd ocean fries. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYMLFldbQOT
Exact in time, with equal strokes they row: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ao0yvSrYx
At once the brushing oars and brazen prow 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANg6TAaF9rg
Dash up the sandy waves, and ope the depths below. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPyA5hcEw0k
Not fiery coursers, in a chariot race, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARPQFgjZSmq
Invade the field with half so swift a pace; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmOVp6yUZCn
Not the fierce driver with more fury lends 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHa6DeH4K2l
The sounding lash, and, ere the stroke descends, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3b0qlHM1jy
Low to the wheels his pliant body bends. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6jdfbjIm8
The partial crowd their hopes and fears divide, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAXcPWkhfrg6
And aid with eager shouts the favor'd side. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjN5xWyynq1
Cries, murmurs, clamors, with a mixing sound, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvX3cAjEZre
From woods to woods, from hills to hills rebound. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApV0SFlvO6D
Amidst the loud applauses of the shore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgfcXoLKkoX
Gyas outstripp'd the rest, and sprung before: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuxU3eT36rR
Cloanthus, better mann'd, pursued him fast, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACJ4SRKhX5z
But his o'er-masted galley check'd his haste. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPblv0nKUEK
The Centaur and the Dolphin brush the brine 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwn58ugopI5
With equal oars, advancing in a line; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwhaVqjq9Ad
And now the mighty Centaur seems to lead, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtUvgHSXl8B
And now the speedy Dolphin gets ahead; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEy9j2adjSO
Now board to board the rival vessels row, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoMXDY5wQBn
The billows lave the skies, and ocean groans below. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmQe46Hkh8C
They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIfZQ0tbGRi
In triumph rode, the victors of the main; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhARLwOnO9k
But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot stand 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAva5KsA5gOT
More close to shore, and skim along the sand- 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfpvW751xZy
"Let others bear to sea!" Menoetes heard; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5svNRUMptv
But secret shelves too cautiously he fear'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAR7g3cOtSeD
And, fearing, sought the deep; and still aloof he steer'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGvMFjhaNty
With louder cries the captain call'd again: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvzGfGwtVRI
"Bear to the rocky shore, and shun the main." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUnwEZKyCFf
He spoke, and, speaking, at his stern he saw 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEgrvsuxj2Z
The bold Cloanthus near the shelvings draw. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsQyeNZHzt3
Betwixt the mark and him the Scylla stood, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6DxAiXcMOR
And in a closer compass plow'd the flood. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAXOZ33SxUO7
He pass'd the mark; and, wheeling, got before: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAA1Upam03eh
Gyas blasphem'd the gods, devoutly swore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHHoZOnG49y
Cried out for anger, and his hair he tore. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPUetpoXbnc
Mindless of others' lives (so high was grown 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoZqvIzeN3d
His rising rage) and careless of his own, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALWUHU0Ga4S
The trembling dotard to the deck he drew; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxDRVtMaE3F
Then hoisted up, and overboard he threw: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxPPN7rYwjd
This done, he seiz'd the helm; his fellows cheer'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHZWH9mVdGL
Turn'd short upon the shelfs, and madly steer'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALW8xwSvoy6
Hardly his head the plunging pilot rears, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJl8ukIwMJI
Clogg'd with his clothes, and cumber'd with his years: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMFhYz3zUlh
Now dropping wet, he climbs the cliff with pain. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUeGoAJt1nH
The crowd, that saw him fall and float again, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMMkDYjXVIe
Shout from the distant shore; and loudly laugh'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABBfOSE6XjL
To see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draught. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvlR75oHcNI
The following Centaur, and the Dolphin's crew, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoAF1zXo7Ok
Their vanish'd hopes of victory renew; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkW8iIBi3HB
While Gyas lags, they kindle in the race, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvreBaEUK2k
To reach the mark. Sergesthus takes the place; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAndavqHEyd3
Mnestheus pursues; and while around they wind, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAofgm9mm7JJ
Comes up, not half his galley's length behind; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZZjJQfy2Vo
Then, on the deck, amidst his mates appear'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmA9PEGdmTJ
And thus their drooping courage he cheer'd: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlzjmtzYpP0
"My friends, and Hector's followers heretofore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlL979Cf1im
Exert your vigor; tug the lab'ring oar; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAv6Cf0r4q7d
Stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALyhWFDnPUV
Whom from the flaming walls of Troy I drew. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADoa0fEBYLw
In this, our common int'rest, let me find 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAq1wd6aRmlX
That strength of hand, that courage of the mind, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASRyHXPhQhn
As when you stemm'd the strong Malean flood, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3RYVZCK2Fv
And o'er the Syrtes' broken billows row'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtv0uLcmOxQ
I seek not now the foremost palm to gain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPUBJMwqOaB
Tho' yet- but, ah! that haughty wish is vain! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtdZMmuRUKZ
Let those enjoy it whom the gods ordain. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAA39ux4TnNK
But to be last, the lags of all the race!- 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAc91CzN7Hr7
Redeem yourselves and me from that disgrace." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASz7ciQyjCf
Now, one and all, they tug amain; they row 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAW0k49oT96q
At the full stretch, and shake the brazen prow. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvNGdadcWRE
The sea beneath 'em sinks; their lab'ring sides 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApK5E40CbNs
Are swell'd, and sweat runs gutt'ring down in tides. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJMHe0cRGIB
Chance aids their daring with unhop'd success; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxd7r1UqCMx
Sergesthus, eager with his beak to press 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA240HDMOy0q
Betwixt the rival galley and the rock, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcshsZTfQVC
Shuts up th' unwieldly Centaur in the lock. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABu3RA9OQXk
The vessel struck; and, with the dreadful shock, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAUQPqLlASy
Her oars she shiver'd, and her head she broke. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6yDcJTRrwB
The trembling rowers from their banks arise, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtRcrOZCjU8
And, anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxA8rKF64Rv
With iron poles they heave her off the shores, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWclfFnj0DC
And gather from the sea their floating oars. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAu1QHFKqsY4
The crew of Mnestheus, with elated minds, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6X3XVZf46L
Urge their success, and call the willing winds; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbIIxOhoRVi
Then ply their oars, and cut their liquid way 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaGjd4hN905
In larger compass on the roomy sea. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPlmkjeOruc
As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVS6iHnfgXN
Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuIYvD9nlEn
The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJQtnVRPBvq
And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnjWIEg6RhG
At first she flutters; but at length she springs 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAninZAXvZHf
To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjI1yUy8Sxn
So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ3HDrHRJg
And, flying with a force, that force assists his way. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuZjuui9aui
Sergesthus in the Centaur soon he pass'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAqziOW4p78q
Wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkLBpQmE6Ka
In vain the victor he with cries implores, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAb2HRGo4jlg
And practices to row with shatter'd oars. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATQ80FwlPhi
Then Mnestheus bears with Gyas, and outflies: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAye4Io3q75W
The ship, without a pilot, yields the prize. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABHtK8hqfA9
Unvanquish'd Scylla now alone remains; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAE9NVCBT3U9
Her he pursues, and all his vigor strains. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZ71TAyHJwU
Shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhlKL7RBZjA
Applauding Echo to the shouts replies; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkhPATLsjSB
Shouts, wishes, and applause run rattling thro' the skies. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtUE9xSQlUV
These clamors with disdain the Scylla heard, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApDRqeStiqz
Much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHZn9QnK2gh
Resolv'd to hold their own, they mend their pace, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdRcdaU1If0
All obstinate to die, or gain the race. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgjoutvY4Ow
Rais'd with success, the Dolphin swiftly ran; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAO9ccVOy7F1
For they can conquer, who believe they can. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALX7OdEIpjH
Both urge their oars, and fortune both supplies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA69ndeW5pon
And both perhaps had shar'd an equal prize; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8OslPf8w91
When to the seas Cloanthus holds his hands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4Paki6Ixos
And succor from the wat'ry pow'rs demands: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACp5gBdWLV5
"Gods of the liquid realms, on which I row! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxIYphaOm0b
If, giv'n by you, the laurel bind my brow, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtsHw4o35GM
Assist to make me guilty of my vow! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyph0YeY8tc
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnGAqg5K1T2
His offer'd entrails cast into the main, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdULPMHA3cL
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxR2R0jbT7P
Your grateful gift and my return shall own." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoNm6i9DbqZ
The choir of nymphs, and Phorcus, from below, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkdcJliBT59
With virgin Panopea, heard his vow; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoHnyj2oAjN
And old Portunus, with his breadth of hand, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZGBMUorY3a
Push'd on, and sped the galley to the land. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3oYcx0zYvE
Swift as a shaft, or winged wind, she flies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAp9xVAlP5xK
And, darting to the port, obtains the prize. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHweRvdMD54
The herald summons all, and then proclaims 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVLmuVRjVeW
Cloanthus conqu'ror of the naval games. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASIsafq3yEw
The prince with laurel crowns the victor's head, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhQFJ0O82Z0
And three fat steers are to his vessel led, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoaVld39sJz
The ship's reward; with gen'rous wine beside, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPbVqXWhqvc
And sums of silver, which the crew divide. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGwjfwdKXeG
The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmyAPPo7zFf
The victor honor'd with a nobler vest, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5RXngmFFTx
Where gold and purple strive in equal rows, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuqqdZ2UWli
And needlework its happy cost bestows. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhm8OlXCBrV
There Ganymede is wrought with living art, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAED7OpAI7f0
Chasing thro' Ida's groves the trembling hart: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArkpHHJZwhU
Breathless he seems, yet eager to pursue; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwnEocQBi6t
When from aloft descends, in open view, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHdT1021ToU
The bird of Jove, and, sousing on his prey, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYqLxiQ5Jux
With crooked talons bears the boy away. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA73ijxb7wIW
In vain, with lifted hands and gazing eyes, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7qVTrL2Ptk
His guards behold him soaring thro' the skies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9kdF6Jwjhj
And dogs pursue his flight with imitated cries. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsV6aIqdG3L
Mnestheus the second victor was declar'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAe2JjZx6YTA
And, summon'd there, the second prize he shard. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsOVtVtp32w
A coat of mail, brave Demoleus bore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKRBZSPOGCr
More brave Aeneas from his shoulders tore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlsTzf1k9pY
In single combat on the Trojan shore: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVZie7dbBKk
This was ordain'd for Mnestheus to possess; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEp9DuPR03Y
In war for his defense, for ornament in peace. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaYf5tRfzTV
Rich was the gift, and glorious to behold, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGvCcv48BLi
But yet so pond'rous with its plates of gold, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuRRUwMoi7O
That scarce two servants could the weight sustain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8WjuxF2CA
Yet, loaded thus, Demoleus o'er the plain 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoD00RkBBIk
Pursued and lightly seiz'd the Trojan train. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFDlyOMeKyY
The third, succeeding to the last reward, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAr370ylw0ov
Two goodly bowls of massy silver shar'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMveYhofjnr
With figures prominent, and richly wrought, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvOoOz5g19E
And two brass caldrons from Dodona brought. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARtLV6RdCMd
Thus all, rewarded by the hero's hands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAs5fHVMV3bk
Their conqu'ring temples bound with purple bands; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAY9WGmQL5kE
And now Sergesthus, clearing from the rock, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZfJ9Eoj73A
Brought back his galley shatter'd with the shock. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGLinRYf8V6
Forlorn she look'd, without an aiding oar, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAafJBeoH5RD
And, houted by the vulgar, made to shore. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAivNseD4ynF
As when a snake, surpris'd upon the road, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJCJia0s4uO
Is crush'd athwart her body by the load 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACX0AQdcK8V
Of heavy wheels; or with a mortal wound 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACen36U8p3N
Her belly bruis'd, and trodden to the ground: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUf34DcKO5C
In vain, with loosen'd curls, she crawls along; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWINZoptyls
Yet, fierce above, she brandishes her tongue; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACfhRqwxRgP
Glares with her eyes, and bristles with her scales; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdQPhJ3lIDP
But, groveling in the dust, her parts unsound she trails: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAR3nHsNkd4z
So slowly to the port the Centaur tends, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8cGjv8H1xR
But, what she wants in oars, with sails amends. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAx49239RQPA
Yet, for his galley sav'd, the grateful prince 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIRTMwbmEaX
Is pleas'd th' unhappy chief to recompense. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAD75p6eo1gf
Pholoe, the Cretan slave, rewards his care, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA46AiWEYewH
Beauteous herself, with lovely twins as fair. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1wAWYMG44x
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmyEzL63IRu
Into the neighb'ring plain, with mountains pent, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAx3GNIdEqQQ
Whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACdwwV0NMB1
Full in the midst of this fair valley stood 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAr8JmUZPROU
A native theater, which, rising slow 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPaTbdhwxvz
By just degrees, o'erlook'd the ground below. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVPiK0RaaFD
High on a sylvan throne the leader sate; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvrUtWFtTQl
A num'rous train attend in solemn state. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALDkIGRRAz8
Here those that in the rapid course delight, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4XWdBV9vV5
Desire of honor and the prize invite. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4qtHGaUfrA
The rival runners without order stand; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAe4McGm6vuO
The Trojans mix'd with the Sicilian band. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADqGv8upg0f
First Nisus, with Euryalus, appears; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARyxlP9iw5W
Euryalus a boy of blooming years, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWxrQSAzCsW
With sprightly grace and equal beauty crown'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzyCEDZHwq3
Nisus, for friendship to the youth renown'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvEoe5yZY53
Diores next, of Priam's royal race, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAj9jPu6ivwk
Then Salius joined with Patron, took their place; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAO4fYnO2sal
(But Patron in Arcadia had his birth, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGbInw5BKci
And Salius his from Arcananian earth;) 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPii9K1bZju
Then two Sicilian youths- the names of these, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAutO9ku6rU1
Swift Helymus, and lovely Panopes: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMbmh1xtQkU
Both jolly huntsmen, both in forest bred, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtxu5mNkBaa
And owning old Acestes for their head; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPxtYgq2z5B
With sev'ral others of ignobler name, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvCTYULcwju
Whom time has not deliver'd o'er to fame. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAY9BYQkGAqg
To these the hero thus his thoughts explain'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1A8sTHXIX2
In words which gen'ral approbation gain'd: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACkAwALAklu
"One common largess is for all design'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6JYPOodQj
(The vanquish'd and the victor shall be join'd,) 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKPzFFNOq3i
Two darts of polish'd steel and Gnosian wood, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAG9qO9tc8Gu
A silver-studded ax, alike bestow'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQcPGeD2IEk
The foremost three have olive wreaths decreed: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGoLF4bF7au
The first of these obtains a stately steed, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdX42lkkFE9
Adorn'd with trappings; and the next in fame, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIJSgXLzMM8
The quiver of an Amazonian dame, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0YVP8UYGd2
With feather'd Thracian arrows well supplied: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOGv75oHS7z
A golden belt shall gird his manly side, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwOecU8ZUlq
Which with a sparkling diamond shall be tied. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAT6hgK3yOv8
The third this Grecian helmet shall content." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASV5toFHF46
He said. To their appointed base they went; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQSJ6meEU6t
With beating hearts th' expected sign receive, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyuEGMycovc
And, starting all at once, the barrier leave. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANQvOZc3vRc
Spread out, as on the winged winds, they flew, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAM8CbgKWBvH
And seiz'd the distant goal with greedy view. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAI30GWlnrw
Shot from the crowd, swift Nisus all o'erpass'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUSfnI0d9Tk
Nor storms, nor thunder, equal half his haste. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7lpoANTO62
The next, but tho' the next, yet far disjoin'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHi2hzPTOsw
Came Salius, and Euryalus behind; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAO7iinsnOO1
Then Helymus, whom young Diores plied, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMVwKHLmSPe
Step after step, and almost side by side, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzdNW7mAQM8
His shoulders pressing; and, in longer space, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFeOGsFx9jh
Had won, or left at least a dubious race. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAndYFLcaKVA
Now, spent, the goal they almost reach at last, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvKJHg1FG84
When eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxHa0dmOPV4
Slipp'd first, and, slipping, fell upon the plain, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZyQBtONB4J
Soak'd with the blood of oxen newly slain. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYBQbOnwBb3
The careless victor had not mark'd his way; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfAXQCeApiY
But, treading where the treach'rous puddle lay, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5z60LFbaBZ
His heels flew up; and on the grassy floor 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAd83a3drFfv
He fell, besmear'd with filth and holy gore. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASUMqSdVdS7
Not mindless then, Euryalus, of thee, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaSSM4UqPFv
Nor of the sacred bonds of amity, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApo5OZhbZaC
He strove th' immediate rival's hope to cross, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbHdo8P2Vxe
And caught the foot of Salius as he rose. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUeQutqxO4M
So Salius lay extended on the plain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3oDqdAZ02
Euryalus springs out, the prize to gain, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZWdc4kSRKr
And leaves the crowd: applauding peals attend 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAs6lasspau3
The victor to the goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACjLmiN2YSa
Next Helymus; and then Diores came, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcBhH0j4aED
By two misfortunes made the third in fame. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYqrBZ7HcOu
But Salius enters, and, exclaiming loud 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArhLQF96Eci
For justice, deafens and disturbs the crowd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArADqcZuXyS
Urges his cause may in the court be heard; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFSYyGccVc4
And pleads the prize is wrongfully conferr'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQdHmV0vQXD
But favor for Euryalus appears; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhjI4t3v7GY
His blooming beauty, with his tender tears, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAq3RIQR00Iu
Had brib'd the judges for the promis'd prize. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAlJDWGmM7d
Besides, Diores fills the court with cries, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATlrObePOk1
Who vainly reaches at the last reward, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATl4sMcZz6h
If the first palm on Salius be conferr'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAa5T1pbZiUJ
Then thus the prince: "Let no disputes arise: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASoT8C9GO8C
Where fortune plac'd it, I award the prize. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAc1w3yYBQmh
But fortune's errors give me leave to mend, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAre0otI3lE4
At least to pity my deserving friend." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9rPAshI0sV
He said, and, from among the spoils, he draws 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJmG2huMYRh
(Pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws) 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAj5Qwyzn0nA
A lion's hide: to Salius this he gives. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuOJQcd3qFT
Nisus with envy sees the gift, and grieves. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAd0M778ffdB
"If such rewards to vanquish'd men are due." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACxpeIvaI5P
He said, "and falling is to rise by you, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAz9tJcIOv9D
What prize may Nisus from your bounty claim, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAt5YyIMbwp5
Who merited the first rewards and fame? 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVAZECTQQbx
In falling, both an equal fortune tried; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYTCs5nXYzd
Would fortune for my fall so well provide!" 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAO7ZmdWS2cE
With this he pointed to his face, and show'd 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyfVapF3Ekf
His hand and all his habit smear'd with blood. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAK6lQrH2jtN
Th' indulgent father of the people smil'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoF1yUYV7Ti
And caus'd to be produc'd an ample shield, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAuk4hzHNZm
Of wondrous art, by Didymaon wrought, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgzUs7na721
Long since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvX87kUYcmc
This giv'n to Nisus, he divides the rest, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zzxb86Qgt
And equal justice in his gifts express'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5RjpeFKLMq
The race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEa5aO6jXWk
Once more the princes bespeaks th' attentive crowd: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjjoxOVr2UA
"If there he here whose dauntless courage dare 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACatkIYkxJy
In gauntlet-fight, with limbs and body bare, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANm7i0nVH1O
His opposite sustain in open view, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAE4Qscp9vr7
Stand forth the champion, and the games renew. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyehLtnHv0M
Two prizes I propose, and thus divide: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARpkiggbRlu
A bull with gilded horns, and fillets tied, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAU36X9MbXqu
Shall be the portion of the conqu'ring chief; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADVwh06M7f2
A sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALwM66Qs6u4
Then haughty Dares in the lists appears; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALArdaaZCkv
Stalking he strides, his head erected bears: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJlEpLWnA3a
His nervous arms the weighty gauntlet wield, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA758RtLqckZ
And loud applauses echo thro' the field. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHBNV0z7gGj
Dares alone in combat us'd to stand 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdt90nJj5AE
The match of mighty Paris, hand to hand; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUxjOgn4YLn
The same, at Hector's fun'rals, undertook 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAziz7gHwy0r
Gigantic Butes, of th' Amycian stock, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdtSgKKs3bN
And, by the stroke of his resistless hand, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvyC0vxHKNA
Stretch'd the vast bulk upon the yellow sand. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMMhP2evB0M
Such Dares was; and such he strode along, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADVKDA11z35
And drew the wonder of the gazing throng. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAS9krqgjSTS
His brawny back and ample breast he shows, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4UwILWYr9H
His lifted arms around his head he throws, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArqBdFX8waA
And deals in whistling air his empty blows. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVZk3mBPoyK
His match is sought; but, thro' the trembling band, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9iUf5OpkmW
Not one dares answer to the proud demand. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMhLVAlha7n
Presuming of his force, with sparkling eyes 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAW3ctopsB5N
Already he devours the promis'd prize. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAeKXflqkwSM
He claims the bull with awless insolence, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvdkoZAkygy
And having seiz'd his horns, accosts the prince: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzlVEFxXW1v
"If none my matchless valor dares oppose, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjPVUYkIWkJ
How long shall Dares wait his dastard foes? 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAP33U0mJ6MX
Permit me, chief, permit without delay, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaDjd8um4PU
To lead this uncontended gift away." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6D8h5xdpk3
The crowd assents, and with redoubled cries 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwoB5AMe6uK
For the proud challenger demands the prize. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEAjDjFhpyJ
Acestes, fir'd with just disdain, to see 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAs63fGwzxg7
The palm usurp'd without a victory, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxbIdVEBClJ
Reproach'd Entellus thus, who sate beside, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6cmocIU4dC
And heard and saw, unmov'd, the Trojan's pride: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHR6EhBZsY7
"Once, but in vain, a champion of renown, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgTw1koRjCQ
So tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbgUKswDyn5
A prize in triumph borne before your sight, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAf1zaceRDqv
And shun, for fear, the danger of the fight? 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAW5luCrqMy9
Where is our Eryx now, the boasted name, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAc7tsuZw5ab
The god who taught your thund'ring arm the game? 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAthMY0uuGSK
Where now your baffled honor? Where the spoil 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAo3ojLVDrYw
That fill'd your house, and fame that fill'd our isle?" 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQoyVUDegTO
Entellus, thus: "My soul is still the same, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATANgGgjqn3
Unmov'd with fear, and mov'd with martial fame; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAXYggXstF7m
But my chill blood is curdled in my veins, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA87xiiXevJ0
And scarce the shadow of a man remains. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApNEWi27DHP
O could I turn to that fair prime again, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAg1rS3mqZky
That prime of which this boaster is so vain, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABgOnnbHJDs
The brave, who this decrepid age defies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUhv6VGDYL0
Should feel my force, without the promis'd prize." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhpUAvQViil
He said; and, rising at the word, he threw 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuZi92cYDTT
Two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPH8bZ0d8EF
Gauntlets which Eryx wont in fight to wield, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADyD5ERMvIx
And sheathe his hands with in the listed field. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaBdqzMkitZ
With fear and wonder seiz'd, the crowd beholds 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHB8l3pZm9f
The gloves of death, with sev'n distinguish'd folds 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGQaGPUidQn
Of tough bull hides; the space within is spread 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcUuS2qvLV2
With iron, or with loads of heavy lead: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAywVS5im0Ai
Dares himself was daunted at the sight, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzR1EuEccon
Renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd to fight. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADcoptYc07l
Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAW4y0sJaa2S
And pois'd the pond'rous engines in his hands. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfGNnkiuP5h
"What had your wonder," said Entellus, "been, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7PCZ7xjU8l
Had you the gauntlets of Alcides seen, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATKTvxnEHhl
Or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkiMMO9vUjF
These which I bear your brother Eryx bore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADsIVPeXUGr
Still mark'd with batter'd brains and mingled gore. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAegKcbxPt95
With these he long sustain'd th' Herculean arm; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwL2mYU3Bkl
And these I wielded while my blood was warm, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAm6ah2oMYWX
This languish'd frame while better spirits fed, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArnxQL8YPU4
Ere age unstrung my nerves, or time o'ersnow'd my head. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUAvofPaFUY
But if the challenger these arms refuse, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyMpROxh04J
And cannot wield their weight, or dare not use; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEwWNSZtIYA
If great Aeneas and Acestes join 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4gstnqhES2
In his request, these gauntlets I resign; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAl0A4r0vjjB
Let us with equal arms perform the fight, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAG2NsHSPNeJ
And let him leave to fear, since I resign my right." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7ubN8y648c
This said, Entellus for the strife prepares; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApsw99VB4uy
Stripp'd of his quilted coat, his body bares; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAu659Rsl5YL
Compos'd of mighty bones and brawn he stands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPabiZCMbvw
A goodly tow'ring object on the sands. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4N5ngcqVE0
Then just Aeneas equal arms supplied, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgFYKDjd0bN
Which round their shoulders to their wrists they tied. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEKK6zyL86s
Both on the tiptoe stand, at full extent, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0mMnpNtXxS
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGliDGflwUV
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAX5CmH03xRW
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlTOFyjwrTB
One on his youth and pliant limbs relies; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhfIDhHWSiv
One on his sinews and his giant size. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALarYOULMXi
The last is stiff with age, his motion slow; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1mv8urT4tg
He heaves for breath, he staggers to and fro, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATXKZ9j5Ewp
And clouds of issuing smoke his nostrils loudly blow. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOrAQk36DbP
Yet equal in success, they ward, they strike; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAw9lkEHBUao
Their ways are diff'rent, but their art alike. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAw3YGdpNPum
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAz33rA48CCD
Their hollow sides the rattling thumps resound. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAL3oimoUgME
A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASzw0Vgyyhn
And errs about their temples, ears, and eyes. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfJjBI9SM0r
Nor always errs; for oft the gauntlet draws 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxhmc4ihJn6
A sweeping stroke along the crackling jaws. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACiLPoiyjpt
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA11xoaNgGOI
But with his warping body wards the wound. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALgcq3iylRJ
His hand and watchful eye keep even pace; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfLCywSgeqn
While Dares traverses and shifts his place, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1SkhVAaUQB
And, like a captain who beleaguers round 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAza26BmdWQw
Some strong-built castle on a rising ground, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1ynSBHZUv
Views all th' approaches with observing eyes: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAgue2H8jG6
This and that other part in vain he tries, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANVMMLJG22O
And more on industry than force relies. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdU84ecw1IZ
With hands on high, Entellus threats the foe; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA163EEF11nW
But Dares watch'd the motion from below, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADTbJHUzKmA
And slipp'd aside, and shunn'd the long descending blow. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATWyrV7eQ0a
Entellus wastes his forces on the wind, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtea2zRZF8E
And, thus deluded of the stroke design'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhNgeUtEMy6
Headlong and heavy fell; his ample breast 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwIGrh8iBpp
And weighty limbs his ancient mother press'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoOJ8TA2aaG
So falls a hollow pine, that long had stood 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtqEuwg9Jw6
On Ida's height, or Erymanthus' wood, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA87Gxut9vm9
Torn from the roots. The diff'ring nations rise, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWAseHBg2OS
And shouts and mingled murmurs rend the skies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9imtvaLDTE
Acestus runs with eager haste, to raise 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkZwihLpuyg
The fall'n companion of his youthful days. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAfv56OYgWu
Dauntless he rose, and to the fight return'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFWkIyiKN4F
With shame his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury burn'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAb4yRNKumb5
Disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASJuzYVeYZB
And with redoubled force his foe he press'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAqf1piFcr9g
He lays on load with either hand, amain, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJhZD1ndgLl
And headlong drives the Trojan o'er the plain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAqVRtpkIYQ4
Nor stops, nor stays; nor rest nor breath allows; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgTvch619vY
But storms of strokes descend about his brows, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtjPLhPoiJH
A rattling tempest, and a hail of blows. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoxAaKDN2SS
But now the prince, who saw the wild increase 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoS6YWkHBNu
Of wounds, commands the combatants to cease, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8lwvhYmRbz
And bounds Entellus' wrath, and bids the peace. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJ224y37K2L
First to the Trojan, spent with toil, he came, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAeBMQ1eafPB
And sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAH8clnepNJe
"What fury seiz'd my friend? The gods," said he, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgH9ON8tvdm
"To him propitious, and averse to thee, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOplOTnwXbT
Have giv'n his arm superior force to thine. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARtVqW3oP62
'T is madness to contend with strength divine." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPGRuqh2Y7n
The gauntlet fight thus ended, from the shore 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhCcyrgKnFQ
His faithful friends unhappy Dares bore: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAeOW5Lopjuv
His mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7DvtEzsj37
And pounded teeth came rushing with his blood. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4FUlxYVnpr
Faintly he stagger'd thro' the hissing throng, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEhseKkkx43
And hung his head, and trail'd his legs along. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPb2kY2hxcd
The sword and casque are carried by his train; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGdn6UgbywY
But with his foe the palm and ox remain. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsGU4mXiNVv
The champion, then, before Aeneas came, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3sGNj2g3xj
Proud of his prize, but prouder of his fame: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADLn8druEf4
"O goddess-born, and you, Dardanian host, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfCb6rJmnoq
Mark with attention, and forgive my boast; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAeTCKcNFUk
Learn what I was, by what remains; and know 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGb9F3SRy5i
From what impending fate you sav'd my foe." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9nWMKKxHFW
Sternly he spoke, and then confronts the bull; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7pKODS3a1b
And, on his ample forehead aiming full, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8BuxoPTbD
The deadly stroke, descending, pierc'd the skull. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARrKRCUj1Cx
Down drops the beast, nor needs a second wound, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaIjCPw38fI
But sprawls in pangs of death, and spurns the ground. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA33tB6TpnsK
Then, thus: "In Dares' stead I offer this. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvCAeUQazbz
Eryx, accept a nobler sacrifice; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcLHuJ8ZKPb
Take the last gift my wither'd arms can yield: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAB0YTC8iSK9
Thy gauntlets I resign, and here renounce the field." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAozOIMOmjC6
This done, Aeneas orders, for the close, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAps0lgiaDG9
The strife of archers with contending bows. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4zz8OkQfM3
The mast Sergesthus' shatter'd galley bore 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAprw6UGhgid
With his own hands he raises on the shore. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAO5NnlTRmnw
A flutt'ring dove upon the top they tie, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkyhiF2VBWx
The living mark at which their arrows fly. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7GwKo480U
The rival archers in a line advance, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAg4g9AJuIdz
Their turn of shooting to receive from chance. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQXZhxy2sT1
A helmet holds their names; the lots are drawn: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAo31NjDguQh
On the first scroll was read Hippocoon. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALsS5tEjYM3
The people shout. Upon the next was found 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAb4fM3hClIL
Young Mnestheus, late with naval honors crown'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYcp66ejULl
The third contain'd Eurytion's noble name, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJUhEegHRbo
Thy brother, Pandarus, and next in fame, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q3xLUP4za
Whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASlLunUGL8B
And send among the Greeks a feather'd wound. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmwPFKGhz2h
Acestes in the bottom last remain'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3UISEwQonZ
Whom not his age from youthful sports restrain'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFj8ik6iyNK
Soon all with vigor bend their trusty bows, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z0VmA9C63
And from the quiver each his arrow chose. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbKOOItJUDm
Hippocoon's was the first: with forceful sway 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKzT4t9lefX
It flew, and, whizzing, cut the liquid way. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0p3si2BlQ8
Fix'd in the mast the feather'd weapon stands: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAa4k61dqIuS
The fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAldZztU32rr
And the tree trembled, and the shouting cries 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkn1cZQsfz4
Of the pleas'd people rend the vaulted skies. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzHOsHpCpql
Then Mnestheus to the head his arrow drove, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQZJMqjluJD
With lifted eyes, and took his aim above, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASUwQEKYYHA
But made a glancing shot, and missed the dove; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZw6fNqimKX
Yet miss'd so narrow, that he cut the cord 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaTshIRCP6R
Which fasten'd by the foot the flitting bird. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3IB7V4X5WB
The captive thus releas'd, away she flies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASgEboJjpXc
And beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtRfJk9kNzw
His bow already bent, Eurytion stood; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnp1KdDcq5V
And, having first invok'd his brother god, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmYasMO6cxF
His winged shaft with eager haste he sped. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwX5atUvtzy
The fatal message reach'd her as she fled: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdjBn8TVlEt
She leaves her life aloft; she strikes the ground, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA57syiTigdU
And renders back the weapon in the wound. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9zIe2dOlZL
Acestes, grudging at his lot, remains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAExGsfEfLs6
Without a prize to gratify his pains. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANSqKN7FkRx
Yet, shooting upward, sends his shaft, to show 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAT6Vpb5SYpQ
An archer's art, and boast his twanging bow. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVGtIdOxMYh
The feather'd arrow gave a dire portent, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7WsOOwp1lP
And latter augurs judge from this event. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANkThfYtczz
Chaf'd by the speed, it fir'd; and, as it flew, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALL6WrISnnz
A trail of following flames ascending drew: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8VljtmvFCh
Kindling they mount, and mark the shiny way; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0uPTCq7AQw
Across the skies as falling meteors play, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnrAqJdjZLF
And vanish into wind, or in a blaze decay. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWBnfJcYiVO
The Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAibOO6cxOeI
And, trembling, turn their wonder into pray'r. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAeKWv7z0rYF
The Dardan prince put on a smiling face, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9yPHYxvfwe
And strain'd Acestes with a close embrace; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAblvZelniqw
Then, hon'ring him with gifts above the rest, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVn0LMHvaWm
Turn'd the bad omen, nor his fears confess'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxxoiFQ26eV
"The gods," said he, "this miracle have wrought, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuhTqcBQGKi
And order'd you the prize without the lot. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIMBL4ymL0S
Accept this goblet, rough with figur'd gold, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcI3tpC1pU2
Which Thracian Cisseus gave my sire of old: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgCvNgL7OjY
This pledge of ancient amity receive, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAXXuWal9xtn
Which to my second sire I justly give." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJvy6aJWaSV
He said, and, with the trumpets' cheerful sound, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsLGXxqawa8
Proclaim'd him victor, and with laurel-crown'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYOtzHFNaUv
Nor good Eurytion envied him the prize, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOgE9QIxC2g
Tho' he transfix'd the pigeon in the skies. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKh2sbMxB1C
Who cut the line, with second gifts was grac'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAToIjGZwDzi
The third was his whose arrow pierc'd the mast. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAX8RFQpLm5v
The chief, before the games were wholly done, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABjWlJ8LfP1
Call'd Periphantes, tutor to his son, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZhPTLfQrd2
And whisper'd thus: "With speed Ascanius find; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdqGCFfYiEe
And, if his childish troop be ready join'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGc44edonoh
On horseback let him grace his grandsire's day, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOld7YlHuhh
And lead his equals arm'd in just array." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgEAFvWxNRr
He said; and, calling out, the cirque he clears. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAiHkg9wvIkl
The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAz7IegEzwVJ
And now the noble youths, of form divine, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAa4EJf1MK4U
Advance before their fathers, in a line; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANJyploGGlf
The riders grace the steeds; the steeds with glory shine. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuR2SAkJkO2
Thus marching on in military pride, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2iY5RX8XWY
Shouts of applause resound from side to side. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAX5fuEXTtoc
Their casques adorn'd with laurel wreaths they wear, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3cEvB03Omb
Each brandishing aloft a cornel spear. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZO3ms4Lp1e
Some at their backs their gilded quivers bore; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZw3BhkCkRI
Their chains of burnish'd gold hung down before. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAknztJ4UNQV
Three graceful troops they form'd upon the green; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADGlfenlXif
Three graceful leaders at their head were seen; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZj6lTZdot4
Twelve follow'd ev'ry chief, and left a space between. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPDU9gtLeL5
The first young Priam led; a lovely boy, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzy7xnVEr8I
Whose grandsire was th' unhappy king of Troy; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbMTEnp2R9G
His race in after times was known to fame, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtKS0c4R9eI
New honors adding to the Latian name; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWYbehgeJHC
And well the royal boy his Thracian steed became. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAqlURwpaiup
White were the fetlocks of his feet before, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlMtrRJYtjq
And on his front a snowy star he bore. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASjSdhUd45B
Then beauteous Atys, with Iulus bred, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAn6F3wvOlrS
Of equal age, the second squadron led. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhpjO6awZjK
The last in order, but the first in place, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ0sR5kgjA
First in the lovely features of his face, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9T58XhtnbM
Rode fair Ascanius on a fiery steed, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAps1yY2kT1q
Queen Dido's gift, and of the Tyrian breed. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABRiuqy4feH
Sure coursers for the rest the king ordains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yvs0mKgyb
With golden bits adorn'd, and purple reins. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARPZaJU0Po1
The pleas'd spectators peals of shouts renew, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZjxE7i1zaZ
And all the parents in the children view; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAbUlDn3k95
Their make, their motions, and their sprightly grace, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAL2XIFdPPw
And hopes and fears alternate in their face. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtuLLzoQ9od
Th' unfledg'd commanders and their martial train 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhLf0qCYtJY
First make the circuit of the sandy plain 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEDm71ZmKJd
Around their sires, and, at th' appointed sign, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0PVWvAvXRC
Drawn up in beauteous order, form a line. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACPZ9GLwRpI
The second signal sounds, the troop divides 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJXUX1YZsQc
In three distinguish'd parts, with three distinguish'd guides 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjGUmORjEvD
Again they close, and once again disjoin; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADnWTWT1VZe
In troop to troop oppos'd, and line to line. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEUWt8nsuip
They meet; they wheel; they throw their darts afar 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhOetaQuWUl
With harmless rage and well-dissembled war. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOliRs2YCnF
Then in a round the mingled bodies run: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsT268Kpq1B
Flying they follow, and pursuing shun; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIwjenCS1O5
Broken, they break; and, rallying, they renew 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzQPAt2JxC9
In other forms the military shew. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzKdfqps1t2
At last, in order, undiscern'd they join, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMXwlMoxauP
And march together in a friendly line. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5czG62tXf
And, as the Cretan labyrinth of old, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZhNlPyV39R
With wand'ring ways and many a winding fold, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAf4slNwupsN
Involv'd the weary feet, without redress, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFhB5lznjSl
In a round error, which denied recess; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAU03w9mLnDv
So fought the Trojan boys in warlike play, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8oslzYIYmg
Turn'd and return'd, and still a diff'rent way. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAP9c951CAeE
Thus dolphins in the deep each other chase 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADz4MaRgT5m
In circles, when they swim around the wat'ry race. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPWgFSyOeOH
This game, these carousels, Ascanius taught; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAazYWOVvPKh
And, building Alba, to the Latins brought; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAK8LW46JzYh
Shew'd what he learn'd: the Latin sires impart 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaoMi5NBWQg
To their succeeding sons the graceful art; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJEx8QUlb7f
From these imperial Rome receiv'd the game, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADfZ4c8oXqZ
Which Troy, the youths the Trojan troop, they name. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABVLj5oxn0h
Thus far the sacred sports they celebrate: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATsIWBpQ2wP
But Fortune soon resum'd her ancient hate; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADALezCGn33
For, while they pay the dead his annual dues, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAouyCLu01Yr
Those envied rites Saturnian Juno views; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABSWPYIpCsH
And sends the goddess of the various bow, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAk5B28UX0Kw
To try new methods of revenge below; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAAmrrrU8rg
Supplies the winds to wing her airy way, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAODA2zOnQ0r
Where in the port secure the navy lay. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAL5JAl15yiZ
Swiftly fair Iris down her arch descends, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArpX31F3Wsd
And, undiscern'd, her fatal voyage ends. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPcFRVzJ2fI
She saw the gath'ring crowd; and, gliding thence, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAI6eCfM1W4n
The desart shore, and fleet without defense. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAp47VW62ZZf
The Trojan matrons, on the sands alone, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8qi9FAUveN
With sighs and tears Anchises' death bemoan; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAB0W3r31S7G
Then, turning to the sea their weeping eyes, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3uZr9FT9mu
Their pity to themselves renews their cries. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGFd2ZMWVuA
"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwx8L5lHfLw
For us to sail! what labors to sustain!" 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvRPcyg3WNq
All take the word, and, with a gen'ral groan, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAtHYGmnu45
Implore the gods for peace, and places of their own. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABKBjwv910L
The goddess, great in mischief, views their pains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgrQYQmNZPK
And in a woman's form her heav'nly limbs restrains. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIDx2qwBdLZ
In face and shape old Beroe she became, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAV4xgrG9PBe
Doryclus' wife, a venerable dame, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1ELUMawtEB
Once blest with riches, and a mother's name. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjQi2CgsKBT
Thus chang'd, amidst the crying crowd she ran, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhubCux4mCi
Mix'd with the matrons, and these words began: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA90YTS5D96a
"O wretched we, whom not the Grecian pow'r, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkASg6eSp9Z
Nor flames, destroy'd, in Troy's unhappy hour! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfKwO0265WC
O wretched we, reserv'd by cruel fate, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGuMf3nxvQF
Beyond the ruins of the sinking state! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcjpCpvSEAA
Now sev'n revolving years are wholly run, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwX3hTYsSV8
Since this improsp'rous voyage we begun; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8cregEm7pt
Since, toss'd from shores to shores, from lands to lands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIN2V15h0Xh
Inhospitable rocks and barren sands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5xKYmHlbc0
Wand'ring in exile thro' the stormy sea, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAR4JBUQ1LBj
We search in vain for flying Italy. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEE7VHdL9DL
Now cast by fortune on this kindred land, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzkhl3m2Erv
What should our rest and rising walls withstand, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9RUXk7hjbp
Or hinder here to fix our banish'd band? 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA767mDpPrir
O country lost, and gods redeem'd in vain, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAqmhirpG7Jy
If still in endless exile we remain! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyK61auM7Rm
Shall we no more the Trojan walls renew, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIxyKYypKWN
Or streams of some dissembled Simois view! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2nqkAH11jn
Haste, join with me, th' unhappy fleet consume! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9d6ohaJ2e5
Cassandra bids; and I declare her doom. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUWe7tZDqEu
In sleep I saw her; she supplied my hands 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGqzCGlLrUG
(For this I more than dreamt) with flaming brands: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAy7OkE6lxdT
'With these,' said she, 'these wand'ring ships destroy: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3hw9QkzG0s
These are your fatal seats, and this your Troy.' 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAqyxFIs1bC3
Time calls you now; the precious hour employ: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdazJy3DyHn
Slack not the good presage, while Heav'n inspires 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6N32HXgHtZ
Our minds to dare, and gives the ready fires. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ0D8b0JID
See! Neptune's altars minister their brands: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6F3YqghEkm
The god is pleas'd; the god supplies our hands." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAiSfQaIbees
Then from the pile a flaming fire she drew, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZ44WQHqSuU
And, toss'd in air, amidst the galleys threw. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1spEr7eKGa
Wrapp'd in amaze, the matrons wildly stare: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyxdnnUPEDG
Then Pyrgo, reverenc'd for her hoary hair, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJEdv3jrPJm
Pyrgo, the nurse of Priam's num'rous race: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKRnz9OAN7Q
"No Beroe this, tho' she belies her face! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAK3M8nN05On
What terrors from her frowning front arise! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0EU0MsVo1M
Behold a goddess in her ardent eyes! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAR5eImDD8WE
What rays around her heav'nly face are seen! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnFNPAyyIRO
Mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mien! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKRszBQ5jYu
Beroe but now I left, whom, pin'd with pain, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5OWKO1vo5h
Her age and anguish from these rites detain," 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADCfyGz4XWT
She said. The matrons, seiz'd with new amaze, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdNjJL2XVqP
Roll their malignant eyes, and on the navy gaze. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAluwVuQRdQC
They fear, and hope, and neither part obey: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2DBc6EaRyx
They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZAbEd8i8Ez
The goddess, having done her task below, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlgFP7fUZbO
Mounts up on equal wings, and bends her painted bow. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9XwuyP0qd7
Struck with the sight, and seiz'd with rage divine, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWCguhSkNPU
The matrons prosecute their mad design: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAiPatvjONZM
They shriek aloud; they snatch, with impious hands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJu9ut6198I
The food of altars; fires and flaming brands. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGTmca77I8O
Green boughs and saplings, mingled in their haste, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAepGrEMFlMA
And smoking torches, on the ships they cast. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAY7WJVqd9rB
The flame, unstopp'd at first, more fury gains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsIU5Ojj9hh
And Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEjcA8sLepT
Triumphant to the painted sterns he soars, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsZIubymk0u
And seizes, in this way, the banks and crackling oars. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHh1lVqLrrk
Eumelus was the first the news to bear, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKFi6DvL0vU
While yet they crowd the rural theater. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6SC6f2SY7k
Then, what they hear, is witness'd by their eyes: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAD4nYC5CxmE
A storm of sparkles and of flames arise. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7UgrwcTCUY
Ascanius took th' alarm, while yet he led 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACFT3kpk2M7
His early warriors on his prancing steed, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoLOxny64Rj
And, spurring on, his equals soon o'erpass'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAP5tzYZ4TBA
Nor could his frighted friends reclaim his haste. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsNNLlKNRRf
Soon as the royal youth appear'd in view, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAT6s8jpa3bu
He sent his voice before him as he flew: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZPJu8NSDq
"What madness moves you, matrons, to destroy 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qw2tR968U
The last remainders of unhappy Troy! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvHp8MD7qRq
Not hostile fleets, but your own hopes, you burn, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApOX8ULUQNg
And on your friends your fatal fury turn. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3kCFVZ2hy6
Behold your own Ascanius!" While he said, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzGLXVIY4zy
He drew his glitt'ring helmet from his head, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVY5oBZdoJ8
In which the youths to sportful arms he led. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8vzuJhUMbu
By this, Aeneas and his train appear; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHFkMaP7k0P
And now the women, seiz'd with shame and fear, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKbXtpPNoFo
Dispers'd, to woods and caverns take their flight, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnvXLlxsq1d
Abhor their actions, and avoid the light; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANYpCR3hw2t
Their friends acknowledge, and their error find, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEYzdJbDoDU
And shake the goddess from their alter'd mind. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAXebfHzlvOr
Not so the raging fires their fury cease, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJCX2VbkGTa
But, lurking in the seams, with seeming peace, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkMZIlidMrk
Work on their way amid the smold'ring tow, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAL3TQupIIfF
Sure in destruction, but in motion slow. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbfLoKxMIJ0
The silent plague thro' the green timber eats, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAL3jUCvYtQE
And vomits out a tardy flame by fits. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAHSZYa95L9
Down to the keels, and upward to the sails, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANcmxqvRXNU
The fire descends, or mounts, but still prevails; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYuyWzUoW8x
Nor buckets pour'd, nor strength of human hand, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAz7qmG8NGxM
Can the victorious element withstand. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnZJgrzVzTW
The pious hero rends his robe, and throws 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJMmN2lON1S
To heav'n his hands, and with his hands his vows. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7o5H1lbDOg
"O Jove," he cried, "if pray'rs can yet have place; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABtTAVJPQTk
If thou abhorr'st not all the Dardan race; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmOStM3WbjZ
If any spark of pity still remain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbRrXneuKup
If gods are gods, and not invok'd in vain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6N5PcnbRqn
Yet spare the relics of the Trojan train! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAe4z4OfHyK4
Yet from the flames our burning vessels free, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2pP8C9WHoF
Or let thy fury fall alone on me! 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZWnxdOfVwg
At this devoted head thy thunder throw, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMGZQhIRS6J
And send the willing sacrifice below!" 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAseeHKPKdrm
Scarce had he said, when southern storms arise: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2uCrNfzTMx
From pole to pole the forky lightning flies; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADzCGhRryCh
Loud rattling shakes the mountains and the plain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJYCAdbUbeu
Heav'n bellies downward, and descends in rain. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4KDcRWSy9W
Whole sheets of water from the clouds are sent, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlXTbTaLJJJ
Which, hissing thro' the planks, the flames prevent, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoSDyvwErNz
And stop the fiery pest. Four ships alone 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA48mR9vqxcQ
Burn to the waist, and for the fleet atone. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAksKIEHzTxP
But doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlpfLnRQinN
If he should still in Sicily reside, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAnaqPMH6Yr5
Forgetful of his fates, or tempt the main, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHaRSYPN1uO
In hope the promis'd Italy to gain. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAK1wmgMlfYy
Then Nautes, old and wise, to whom alone 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOEKJHm1XgF
The will of Heav'n by Pallas was foreshown; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvcyyyJwRdR
Vers'd in portents, experienc'd, and inspir'd 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbSZwfaPkxY
To tell events, and what the fates requir'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAs6V1lM7cO
Thus while he stood, to neither part inclin'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzQSHRL2XZ2
With cheerful words reliev'd his lab'ring mind: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEzmpb3eOPR
"O goddess-born, resign'd in ev'ry state, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUbAusEZSaz
With patience bear, with prudence push your fate. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4sL62QWS5
By suff'ring well, our Fortune we subdue; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQonV1r35sx
Fly when she frowns, and, when she calls, pursue. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApddiab4hOz
Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxe5D8Y7vwA
To him disclose the secrets of your mind: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdTlxLvicu2
Trust in his hands your old and useless train; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Dmo3ieFe
Too num'rous for the ships which yet remain: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6mUM19g74w
The feeble, old, indulgent of their ease, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAq588tVQv8H
The dames who dread the dangers of the seas, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA2v7pOsY34g
With all the dastard crew, who dare not stand 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8jqmHu3kUb
The shock of battle with your foes by land. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwGtrMfGirH
Here you may build a common town for all, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4u4wAf2da8
And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAyhtJ4RkuKu
The reasons, with his friend's experience join'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAZTee88sKoC
Encourag'd much, but more disturb'd his mind. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANoI1ZibNlW
'T was dead of night; when to his slumb'ring eyes 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALKmlnlM5Bz
His father's shade descended from the skies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7b7OfAfj2b
And thus he spoke: "O more than vital breath, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAv7zSh5PcOn
Lov'd while I liv'd, and dear ev'n after death; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGNitn1df2X
O son, in various toils and troubles toss'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUhxHPCk1Ty
The King of Heav'n employs my careful ghost 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAv8qjoKpNtM
On his commands: the god, who sav'd from fire 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANYaVWXF0ff
Your flaming fleet, and heard your just desire. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVJFqHRz5BD
The wholesome counsel of your friend receive, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtXSTujI5bX
And here the coward train and woman leave: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFqHNtUzsXx
The chosen youth, and those who nobly dare, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAEjGG0J7T9s
Transport, to tempt the dangers of the war. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPi7HvY85JP
The stern Italians will their courage try; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAM6AshNhAV1
Rough are their manners, and their minds are high. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4v8VyDOv4r
But first to Pluto's palace you shall go, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAoLY2DujTho
And seek my shade among the blest below: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGoCzXXANyH
For not with impious ghosts my soul remains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvzssRJhYRB
Nor suffers with the damn'd perpetual pains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACa6dAqgHiS
But breathes the living air of soft Elysian plains. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANApOixhSW3F0
The chaste Sibylla shall your steps convey, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALgyV0rWlb7
And blood of offer'd victims free the way. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA07Ixwme4MM
There shall you know what realms the gods assign, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATaWXFIE8qT
And learn the fates and fortunes of your line. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhqsKwMkfVL
But now, farewell! I vanish with the night, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAn1b0ltuYRA
And feel the blast of heav'n's approaching light." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAxH6GeOijgz
He said, and mix'd with shades, and took his airy flight. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMOqA6AsWfr
"Whither so fast?" the filial duty cried; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKrkqQdij5A
"And why, ah why, the wish'd embrace denied?" 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5SRhffOghE
He said, and rose; as holy zeal inspires, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAL5M11YVGU5
He rakes hot embers, and renews the fires; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJKTFAxLVom
His country gods and Vesta then adores 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAM7aDXgakCW
With cakes and incense, and their aid implores. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAWM1VVQC2gi
Next, for his friends and royal host he sent, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKdrtRoWavA
Reveal'd his vision, and the gods' intent, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIGateet6Qo
With his own purpose. All, without delay, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkpWdJYaAIc
The will of Jove, and his desires obey. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARSb3c8zyD8
They list with women each degenerate name, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArejxKIAXi6
Who dares not hazard life for future fame. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFcwDy25fmu
These they cashier: the brave remaining few, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtbhD4RQmXR
Oars, banks, and cables, half consum'd, renew. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAqb8H7CSL2Q
The prince designs a city with the plow; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcMo6TFkQd1
The lots their sev'ral tenements allow. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACaysDLzydx
This part is nam'd from Ilium, that from Troy, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAm5gQ4rALWo
And the new king ascends the throne with joy; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7iJSMPCysE
A chosen senate from the people draws; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMFxAhTgMXo
Appoints the judges, and ordains the laws. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4J9zE0kWPs
Then, on the top of Eryx, they begin 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1kPofinKXm
A rising temple to the Paphian queen. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACvyHBBN6uq
Anchises, last, is honor'd as a god; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAeMAUPdfyCu
A priest is added, annual gifts bestow'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAasD6Yqhw5v
And groves are planted round his blest abode. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAU8CBsl86Br
Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0oCqVZkNpl
And fumes of incense in the fanes abound. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAY9Djb9UHrU
Then from the south arose a gentle breeze 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9p6wRCycUC
That curl'd the smoothness of the glassy seas; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9oeYZ6CTlq
The rising winds a ruffling gale afford, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATOtcIqE2rh
And call the merry mariners aboard. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA1LAn6HSIgQ
Now loud laments along the shores resound, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ps4mLbdpg
Of parting friends in close embraces bound. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6N6WGk3PaC
The trembling women, the degenerate train, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPpPvTgyBvT
Who shunn'd the frightful dangers of the main, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAiR8Qev3quy
Ev'n those desire to sail, and take their share 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIq14cqYXAi
Of the rough passage and the promis'd war: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAN0VUN34Kbj
Whom good Aeneas cheers, and recommends 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFgjaYokORh
To their new master's care his fearful friends. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAw3WqxNsSx9
On Eryx's altars three fat calves he lays; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANpGTBEH2x3
A lamb new-fallen to the stormy seas; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbkmgkO97dV
Then slips his haulsers, and his anchors weighs. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAY5lVWXR39l
High on the deck the godlike hero stands, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAmXgZ4kQ2zB
With olive crown'd, a charger in his hands; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARDdQVTnxCY
Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3CweLPR23Z
And pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA3UILovE0ct
Fresh gales arise; with equal strokes they vie, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8lJ58wNEZe
And brush the buxom seas, and o'er the billows fly. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACqIPjyM9k9
Meantime the mother goddess, full of fears, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA10gGE0oUs8
To Neptune thus address'd, with tender tears: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsjvufAMyLL
"The pride of Jove's imperious queen, the rage, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACfevAS1IPp
The malice which no suff'rings can assuage, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAaCGczARfy7
Compel me to these pray'rs; since neither fate, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfAj8C4cRV0
Nor time, nor pity, can remove her hate: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAT2vS9WlSdO
Ev'n Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAXKEZJDqBfO
Still vanquish'd, yet she still renews the strife. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4m1sKcVHy1
As if 't were little to consume the town 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUxkLARiQt0
Which aw'd the world, and wore th' imperial crown, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAr9idVZDqaA
She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcK5L7tZxTQ
And gnaws, ev'n to the bones, the last remains. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAlLEKc8yz4a
Let her the causes of her hatred tell; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvDD8vbsPGq
But you can witness its effects too well. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArjQ2rSbt9N
You saw the storm she rais'd on Libyan floods, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPioC5iaGqu
That mix'd the mounting billows with the clouds; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJGWHS23vvT
When, bribing Aeolus, she shook the main, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARH4blWFOaB
And mov'd rebellion in your wat'ry reign. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMX7CFW8WxU
With fury she possess'd the Dardan dames, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANYTQ0ImKXQ
To burn their fleet with execrable flames, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAPt4pJ0T8Pm
And forc'd Aeneas, when his ships were lost, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcb3hBQrz8B
To leave his foll'wers on a foreign coast. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYRmXDgbv9P
For what remains, your godhead I implore, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAAwRf6kfZIM
And trust my son to your protecting pow'r. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzBpu5zEtB5
If neither Jove's nor Fate's decree withstand, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANALddxjAg9Et
Secure his passage to the Latian land." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADnEbczAV76
Then thus the mighty Ruler of the Main: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAL68yHIUIeo
"What may not Venus hope from Neptune's reign? 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOsV6YzSoUx
My kingdom claims your birth; my late defense 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzs79RAhyFp
Of your indanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANANt1Zue3FY5
Nor less by land than sea my deeds declare 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhqzWCMimaY
How much your lov'd Aeneas is my care. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKGSh3AEXYb
Thee, Xanthus, and thee, Simois, I attest. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQV7jYZ60pD
Your Trojan troops when proud Achilles press'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHCitCTxW6y
And drove before him headlong on the plain, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAdv59VEYDeV
And dash'd against the walls the trembling train; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAp7acPb7TOZ
When floods were fill'd with bodies of the slain; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJDEJ7QxDff
When crimson Xanthus, doubtful of his way, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtxFyU3wGfU
Stood up on ridges to behold the sea; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA7ewqSBYbdy
(New heaps came tumbling in, and chok'd his way;) 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOZXK21uef0
When your Aeneas fought, but fought with odds 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAv3wjWvo1lF
Of force unequal, and unequal gods; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhbek4cphT8
I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA4Kb6YUmkCu
Sustain'd the vanquish'd, and secur'd his flight; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVqkElUA3AF
Ev'n then secur'd him, when I sought with joy 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMvUBxa360w
The vow'd destruction of ungrateful Troy. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIx7MhAPgWD
My will's the same: fair goddess, fear no more, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAciCE5gBQQv
Your fleet shall safely gain the Latian shore; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ1oM6NiER
Their lives are giv'n; one destin'd head alone 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbYBGj0GdAU
Shall perish, and for multitudes atone." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcrHhHKwIeG
Thus having arm'd with hopes her anxious mind, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGjohj0JABD
His finny team Saturnian Neptune join'd, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgmgHJMmgIf
Then adds the foamy bridle to their jaws, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfgC3mrHxfX
And to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzWVPtIvECx
High on the waves his azure car he guides; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgjPcLDorTQ
Its axles thunder, and the sea subsides, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKpuvMMF5fx
And the smooth ocean rolls her silent tides. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAQIEhegnqR4
The tempests fly before their father's face, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAsTUswD5SSR
Trains of inferior gods his triumph grace, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAYf9P861sRz
And monster whales before their master play, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAINyTyDwBJg
And choirs of Tritons crowd the wat'ry way. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAzieBh0tgY8
The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAt3VQ4yWsLM
To right and left; the gods his better side 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA47BYNFWQCw
Inclose, and on the worse the Nymphs and Nereids ride. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAtRbueArUWw
Now smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjGPjd28l5P
Within the hero's mind his joys renew'd. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAU0lOD2bo8h
He calls to raise the masts, the sheets display; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJJ6JctPFtB
The cheerful crew with diligence obey; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOSkx8fdiLP
They scud before the wind, and sail in open sea. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANARm3XKvYZaa
Ahead of all the master pilot steers; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgHXFIh3iWL
And, as he leads, the following navy veers. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJy6LhO5JLP
The steeds of Night had travel'd half the sky, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAju3WfLqKdg
The drowsy rowers on their benches lie, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAfpebRCSUR5
When the soft God of Sleep, with easy flight, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA5w6wPBn2us
Descends, and draws behind a trail of light. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANArZStSiUu5G
Thou, Palinurus, art his destin'd prey; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAcP447g2k7g
To thee alone he takes his fatal way. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAJftZryUZS8
Dire dreams to thee, and iron sleep, he bears; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABNe2VtzMLC
And, lighting on thy prow, the form of Phorbas wears. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAbasIG22ji1
Then thus the traitor god began his tale: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjF8WvtmeDF
"The winds, my friend, inspire a pleasing gale; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9wu2o9KVVJ
The ships, without thy care, securely sail. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAwYrysVn0za
Now steal an hour of sweet repose; and I 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAm52HdkqSiK
Will take the rudder and thy room supply." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAT926AKv9CO
To whom the yawning pilot, half asleep: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAUtbLiuSASo
"Me dost thou bid to trust the treach'rous deep, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA57l4ik3Nuw
The harlot smiles of her dissembling face, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAuMhJHxU9WH
And to her faith commit the Trojan race? 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAkyNHlVQVjQ
Shall I believe the Siren South again, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKOfsmJJD69
And, oft betray'd, not know the monster main?" 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFlUIPOOqh8
He said: his fasten'd hands the rudder keep, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA9waDhQZIcC
And, fix'd on heav'n, his eyes repel invading sleep. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ban0gNV5r
The god was wroth, and at his temples threw 1275Please respect copyright.PENANACFKbbN1hzm
A branch in Lethe dipp'd, and drunk with Stygian dew: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAMGa9HGk6vw
The pilot, vanquish'd by the pow'r divine, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANASqD6yDlAsk
Soon clos'd his swimming eyes, and lay supine. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANATcyV8AleDY
Scarce were his limbs extended at their length, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhudi0wRLWR
The god, insulting with superior strength, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAd7cWd0RYsh
Fell heavy on him, plung'd him in the sea, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAVtzkAb5KZb
And, with the stern, the rudder tore away. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA8d8tgdPuDw
Headlong he fell, and, struggling in the main, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAKIyKbDpmvx
Cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAr3FQKypWxo
The victor daemon mounts obscure in air, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAS8rUyWFp1n
While the ship sails without the pilot's care. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAOxOqjHLDpx
On Neptune's faith the floating fleet relies; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAvMIHvTVhmC
But what the man forsook, the god supplies, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA053KlbtQZv
And o'er the dang'rous deep secure the navy flies; 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAIH82sW40EA
Glides by the Sirens' cliffs, a shelfy coast, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAFadHd6ylas
Long infamous for ships and sailors lost, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANABaw42MsRXh
And white with bones. Th' impetuous ocean roars, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAySSbdTMt0o
And rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAjzEqYsLZhq
The watchful hero felt the knocks, and found 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAhN8Q1y1Xfi
The tossing vessel sail'd on shoaly ground. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAihRNrStYA6
Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAHMsNrsx85F
The helm, and steers aloof, and shuns the shelf. 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAgeCGmg7SSl
Inly he griev'd, and, groaning from the breast, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANADrpkrXONHY
Deplor'd his death; and thus his pain express'd: 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAGeke4IeJW0
"For faith repos'd on seas, and on the flatt'ring sky, 1275Please respect copyright.PENANA6TmBeVIJ5q
Thy naked corpse is doom'd on shores unknown to lie." 1275Please respect copyright.PENANAf2O0nzhXw3
