All were attentive to the godlike man, 696Please respect copyright.PENANADdfN43sOWw
When from his lofty couch he thus began: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHRQE3uNwOO
"Great queen, what you command me to relate 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWkyTfRNBp2
Renews the sad remembrance of our fate: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPFIciKNGSL
An empire from its old foundations rent, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAg8Sjv28qE4
And ev'ry woe the Trojans underwent; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHRziXtgAv8
A peopled city made a desart place; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtFVJeZGOxH
All that I saw, and part of which I was: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1inx1R6oE7
Not ev'n the hardest of our foes could hear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEPCf7i5Obx
Nor stern Ulysses tell without a tear. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJhnSExNURt
And now the latter watch of wasting night, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6eYnFapLiO
And setting stars, to kindly rest invite; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6mwNg0gROJ
But, since you take such int'rest in our woe, 696Please respect copyright.PENANABoZ9KKcyWB
And Troy's disastrous end desire to know, 696Please respect copyright.PENANADtspK274hC
I will restrain my tears, and briefly tell 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1Nl9Lg5hOP
What in our last and fatal night befell. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzCypBcBLCe
"By destiny compell'd, and in despair, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuw4jG30Y66
The Greeks grew weary of the tedious war, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAE1wLVAg59c
And by Minerva's aid a fabric rear'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyG3hZcs9mv
Which like a steed of monstrous height appear'd: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXeiTSGm70G
The sides were plank'd with pine; they feign'd it made 696Please respect copyright.PENANATBJ77jAr0E
For their return, and this the vow they paid. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAndvDSkoZCo
Thus they pretend, but in the hollow side 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxbqkwsVGwA
Selected numbers of their soldiers hide: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAd9IyfICHyi
With inward arms the dire machine they load, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAcoaO5oDa4H
And iron bowels stuff the dark abode. 696Please respect copyright.PENANARuYCqU7aOO
In sight of Troy lies Tenedos, an isle 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWKp7CLC7VU
(While Fortune did on Priam's empire smile) 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOn2eGodD5m
Renown'd for wealth; but, since, a faithless bay, 696Please respect copyright.PENANADrUOUQ9FuT
Where ships expos'd to wind and weather lay. 696Please respect copyright.PENANARjhcHDR0F9
There was their fleet conceal'd. We thought, for Greece 696Please respect copyright.PENANAM1cBPgK78Z
Their sails were hoisted, and our fears release. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyrcIQggoLk
The Trojans, coop'd within their walls so long, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAU8rUBFipEu
Unbar their gates, and issue in a throng, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMNU7nDPIuP
Like swarming bees, and with delight survey 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjs1uPRB224
The camp deserted, where the Grecians lay: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkqVNIYQgfj
The quarters of the sev'ral chiefs they show'd; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuZriKwwogG
Here Phoenix, here Achilles, made abode; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYlLk3x1LQQ
Here join'd the battles; there the navy rode. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvA0jR56S0q
Part on the pile their wond'ring eyes employ: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAV1eA24dzGC
The pile by Pallas rais'd to ruin Troy. 696Please respect copyright.PENANATSMB4XpfTd
Thymoetes first ('t is doubtful whether hir'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANASsShyT9sgU
Or so the Trojan destiny requir'd) 696Please respect copyright.PENANACOlklfcAtJ
Mov'd that the ramparts might be broken down, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAcE2xEQaROQ
To lodge the monster fabric in the town. 696Please respect copyright.PENANARiNBuGaQfS
But Capys, and the rest of sounder mind, 696Please respect copyright.PENANADUxFjNyxlG
The fatal present to the flames designed, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyNCg3KIqdn
Or to the wat'ry deep; at least to bore 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxbuT74TvUw
The hollow sides, and hidden frauds explore. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUig7E1AdcZ
The giddy vulgar, as their fancies guide, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFKlFayBtqW
With noise say nothing, and in parts divide. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGU2fuJ5aNG
Laocoon, follow'd by a num'rous crowd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANABiOXQiRfTp
Ran from the fort, and cried, from far, aloud: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAW7BPkkz9Gd
'O wretched countrymen! what fury reigns? 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cm48rFtQy
What more than madness has possess'd your brains? 696Please respect copyright.PENANATPBhVK5Poz
Think you the Grecians from your coasts are gone? 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3jcreRvAKu
And are Ulysses' arts no better known? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyvdDtca8HK
This hollow fabric either must inclose, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAeVRk5ghnYZ
Within its blind recess, our secret foes; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJBnuBBffSV
Or 't is an engine rais'd above the town, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGk3nsnpE66
T' o'erlook the walls, and then to batter down. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzX0zxfk02u
Somewhat is sure design'd, by fraud or force: 696Please respect copyright.PENANADw7Fkgg6RQ
Trust not their presents, nor admit the horse.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANALcEDRs29LV
Thus having said, against the steed he threw 696Please respect copyright.PENANAh3UZiLWHGs
His forceful spear, which, hissing as flew, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApUIxngABje
Pierc'd thro' the yielding planks of jointed wood, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAe4Jee3bfSY
And trembling in the hollow belly stood. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA50Lj8VXdsP
The sides, transpierc'd, return a rattling sound, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUIli1DkjbB
And groans of Greeks inclos'd come issuing thro' the wound 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbcsyLczgZL
And, had not Heav'n the fall of Troy design'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPudNUa4XZs
Or had not men been fated to be blind, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzHeHcNEbDS
Enough was said and done t'inspire a better mind. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhTGCEpv4aR
Then had our lances pierc'd the treach'rous wood, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkuAp6JcYTp
And Ilian tow'rs and Priam's empire stood. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2l03gF5sh
Meantime, with shouts, the Trojan shepherds bring 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzCKWNcXn5N
A captive Greek, in bands, before the king; 696Please respect copyright.PENANADRWxvNWQDX
Taken to take; who made himself their prey, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA4BQmDWF0Fx
T' impose on their belief, and Troy betray; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbTel7GtaN5
Fix'd on his aim, and obstinately bent 696Please respect copyright.PENANASZ7mXfXk8w
To die undaunted, or to circumvent. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsNg6gzPLOE
About the captive, tides of Trojans flow; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIkEng62duP
All press to see, and some insult the foe. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAiBK4BywBAw
Now hear how well the Greeks their wiles disguis'd; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAr2eV13HKpI
Behold a nation in a man compris'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAP5Ua94aI3H
Trembling the miscreant stood, unarm'd and bound; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzfsR6uDttG
He star'd, and roll'd his haggard eyes around, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAasaqAI5bML
Then said: 'Alas! what earth remains, what sea 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPWb1t8lgls
Is open to receive unhappy me? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAk29qCHGrrF
What fate a wretched fugitive attends, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kcad1qrmX
Scorn'd by my foes, abandon'd by my friends?' 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5SBOH2ecdi
He said, and sigh'd, and cast a rueful eye: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA0pGEeZZ3nz
Our pity kindles, and our passions die. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6WoZhuJcJX
We cheer youth to make his own defense, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAD1iQUXR1L0
And freely tell us what he was, and whence: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwmoxSvkpni
What news he could impart, we long to know, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAO7tiS7PSh5
And what to credit from a captive foe. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAiJuyPiXH4X
"His fear at length dismiss'd, he said: 'Whate'er 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYHKmQWvqzX
My fate ordains, my words shall be sincere: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQjoEP71m6d
I neither can nor dare my birth disclaim; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwGOfC6nxRU
Greece is my country, Sinon is my name. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUq3LqWVM7w
Tho' plung'd by Fortune's pow'r in misery, 696Please respect copyright.PENANASrtLtLECNT
'T is not in Fortune's pow'r to make me lie. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1Icmy1XQFW
If any chance has hither brought the name 696Please respect copyright.PENANAr1vuuf81pG
Of Palamedes, not unknown to fame, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAt5bjstoexM
Who suffer'd from the malice of the times, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXdVeDqLVtp
Accus'd and sentenc'd for pretended crimes, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfv3GljG5eM
Because these fatal wars he would prevent; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhk0sTbCn2f
Whose death the wretched Greeks too late lament- 696Please respect copyright.PENANADjoXg6ohlX
Me, then a boy, my father, poor and bare 696Please respect copyright.PENANAdpG7pv3BBp
Of other means, committed to his care, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAeKFEaTq1np
His kinsman and companion in the war. 696Please respect copyright.PENANABc9PcYb47a
While Fortune favor'd, while his arms support 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5QHQuKOt1f
The cause, and rul'd the counsels, of the court, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3YjODcoFL3
I made some figure there; nor was my name 696Please respect copyright.PENANADrs9kGpgPE
Obscure, nor I without my share of fame. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAINM3zjIXA3
But when Ulysses, with fallacious arts, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMS6RskDng7
Had made impression in the people's hearts, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAcVMVfnJBSg
And forg'd a treason in my patron's name 696Please respect copyright.PENANAn0UMcafou6
(I speak of things too far divulg'd by fame), 696Please respect copyright.PENANAU8gP54EDiR
My kinsman fell. Then I, without support, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuNKmSXuE0E
In private mourn'd his loss, and left the court. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwIrx7XoKYG
Mad as I was, I could not bear his fate 696Please respect copyright.PENANADAPCLJ6oqt
With silent grief, but loudly blam'd the state, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7OoD6uL9q9
And curs'd the direful author of my woes. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3dbaLqmuOn
'T was told again; and hence my ruin rose. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ8UQRmfcy
I threaten'd, if indulgent Heav'n once more 696Please respect copyright.PENANARtizZiKfqX
Would land me safely on my native shore, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA05vABrDImp
His death with double vengeance to restore. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1fwhhDCpgs
This mov'd the murderer's hate; and soon ensued 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmRA7wyhsPA
Th' effects of malice from a man so proud. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXabZfnl3QZ
Ambiguous rumors thro' the camp he spread, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuI35jiAyE6
And sought, by treason, my devoted head; 696Please respect copyright.PENANADzuGXEZXP5
New crimes invented; left unturn'd no stone, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbdvmWCVzt6
To make my guilt appear, and hide his own; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAk2jFuwuGI9
Till Calchas was by force and threat'ning wrought- 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYB2qMiW5ih
But why- why dwell I on that anxious thought? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhsrWqvjGbz
If on my nation just revenge you seek, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA22AaU5lfkR
And 't is t' appear a foe, t' appear a Greek; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVjqMKDuqCu
Already you my name and country know; 696Please respect copyright.PENANATqZOfXm6OS
Assuage your thirst of blood, and strike the blow: 696Please respect copyright.PENANArbo2miJWZF
My death will both the kingly brothers please, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9VqptnUFSW
And set insatiate Ithacus at ease.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtPKXU1jj6o
This fair unfinish'd tale, these broken starts, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMlIelMpWS1
Rais'd expectations in our longing hearts: 696Please respect copyright.PENANACdcuDLcb1c
Unknowing as we were in Grecian arts. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAITgQf80HFz
His former trembling once again renew'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAteF9M2RWyV
With acted fear, the villain thus pursued: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQl7lEPofzG
"'Long had the Grecians (tir'd with fruitless care, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkHaAMDhvbd
And wearied with an unsuccessful war) 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWBhhujtnn6
Resolv'd to raise the siege, and leave the town; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsFr9VQ4VU3
And, had the gods permitted, they had gone; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAa5ZpttV4AP
But oft the wintry seas and southern winds 696Please respect copyright.PENANALC11dSGF9I
Withstood their passage home, and chang'd their minds. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1nk8o4l7RC
Portents and prodigies their souls amaz'd; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5BKsEFaxxv
But most, when this stupendous pile was rais'd: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ld8jqOR71
Then flaming meteors, hung in air, were seen, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgKXNpsvCSN
And thunders rattled thro' a sky serene. 696Please respect copyright.PENANADDkuyN5TS9
Dismay'd, and fearful of some dire event, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVN1Ub5e8m6
Eurypylus t' enquire their fate was sent. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHjjMpw6LpE
He from the gods this dreadful answer brought: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbxLfpjjfbl
"O Grecians, when the Trojan shores you sought, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAN2BqPyGTCR
Your passage with a virgin's blood was bought: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3r1LTFi5gn
So must your safe return be bought again, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjFA9IWfQMr
And Grecian blood once more atone the main." 696Please respect copyright.PENANAC1bIz2IEsS
The spreading rumor round the people ran; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJL7kxYmhz3
All fear'd, and each believ'd himself the man. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAheHa3BfrVW
Ulysses took th' advantage of their fright; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA74UQUc4hBK
Call'd Calchas, and produc'd in open sight: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtDHhWBE71y
Then bade him name the wretch, ordain'd by fate 696Please respect copyright.PENANANfZc5rTKaY
The public victim, to redeem the state. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAel1n9wgNpr
Already some presag'd the dire event, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAS1V6jBpCsi
And saw what sacrifice Ulysses meant. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5rxBcvBQKS
For twice five days the good old seer withstood 696Please respect copyright.PENANAdXigDnafEF
Th' intended treason, and was dumb to blood, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWLeW6AKfGD
Till, tir'd, with endless clamors and pursuit 696Please respect copyright.PENANADBE39BpIaW
Of Ithacus, he stood no longer mute; 696Please respect copyright.PENANALNBW8kNBnK
But, as it was agreed, pronounc'd that I 696Please respect copyright.PENANACc3HfHrV6E
Was destin'd by the wrathful gods to die. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA0DRxEfv9jH
All prais'd the sentence, pleas'd the storm should fall 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5tXVZ0oCM3
On one alone, whose fury threaten'd all. 696Please respect copyright.PENANApfM6WhoTUj
The dismal day was come; the priests prepare 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlB7uFmW2Au
Their leaven'd cakes, and fillets for my hair. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWv7E4FvSxH
I follow'd nature's laws, and must avow 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfMiJ64R2UM
I broke my bonds and fled the fatal blow. 696Please respect copyright.PENANARftYykDNmC
Hid in a weedy lake all night I lay, 696Please respect copyright.PENANANUQbIQ4Tzb
Secure of safety when they sail'd away. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA81g7JgVdDD
But now what further hopes for me remain, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAeA4NIdttGw
To see my friends, or native soil, again; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqqmPEym7on
My tender infants, or my careful sire, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1UjfhLiWLA
Whom they returning will to death require; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAanBeglZZTx
Will perpetrate on them their first design, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAP3z5oOAQw0
And take the forfeit of their heads for mine? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyWOij4dAJH
Which, O! if pity mortal minds can move, 696Please respect copyright.PENANANuymgNcwzh
If there be faith below, or gods above, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsHwhYzvV1c
If innocence and truth can claim desert, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA22nkxsSPoy
Ye Trojans, from an injur'd wretch avert.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvgqB4JAs7U
"False tears true pity move; the king commands 696Please respect copyright.PENANA03aaRSrHfT
To loose his fetters, and unbind his hands: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA44cUQ3gqyv
Then adds these friendly words: 'Dismiss thy fears; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAC5cxzlbG9z
Forget the Greeks; be mine as thou wert theirs. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAo6zYJVLa8g
But truly tell, was it for force or guile, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwhoWJH1LGW
Or some religious end, you rais'd the pile?' 696Please respect copyright.PENANA8inqaYSIzi
Thus said the king. He, full of fraudful arts, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7llnSUN3sI
This well-invented tale for truth imparts: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvb0qTtjnwP
'Ye lamps of heav'n!' he said, and lifted high 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuQm5uxl8z2
His hands now free, 'thou venerable sky! 696Please respect copyright.PENANARz1N0StaB3
Inviolable pow'rs, ador'd with dread! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAN8nd1ADqYO
Ye fatal fillets, that once bound this head! 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1rSQzZMgUs
Ye sacred altars, from whose flames I fled! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAACt21dxqAK
Be all of you adjur'd; and grant I may, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAznF1SKcVDj
Without a crime, th' ungrateful Greeks betray, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuUMgPWtajO
Reveal the secrets of the guilty state, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbzmrtIrjhd
And justly punish whom I justly hate! 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7VoAP4Exbs
But you, O king, preserve the faith you gave, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5wRxDhezhJ
If I, to save myself, your empire save. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVQnT59lQ06
The Grecian hopes, and all th' attempts they made, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApMZLBrWWbR
Were only founded on Minerva's aid. 696Please respect copyright.PENANATwS7yzhVha
But from the time when impious Diomede, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7AvuMcQwpH
And false Ulysses, that inventive head, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAogj45RKTPT
Her fatal image from the temple drew, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApScGfbIx3b
The sleeping guardians of the castle slew, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjHvDj3kjt9
Her virgin statue with their bloody hands 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2vcMGCwzJt
Polluted, and profan'd her holy bands; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5NAMFKkhMb
From thence the tide of fortune left their shore, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAevy1LRL4Wb
And ebb'd much faster than it flow'd before: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvyhba92ptZ
Their courage languish'd, as their hopes decay'd; 696Please respect copyright.PENANASc4rNDpxpI
And Pallas, now averse, refus'd her aid. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAslz4PBO0jv
Nor did the goddess doubtfully declare 696Please respect copyright.PENANAdccufWqUln
Her alter'd mind and alienated care. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyDboJSn22z
When first her fatal image touch'd the ground, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWWBpZOCVoa
She sternly cast her glaring eyes around, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAU6gE87ruxI
That sparkled as they roll'd, and seem'd to threat: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAiB8mEwh6QR
Her heav'nly limbs distill'd a briny sweat. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9HnyM2gS7n
Thrice from the ground she leap'd, was seen to wield 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzf5IK7LtdX
Her brandish'd lance, and shake her horrid shield. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAs2lrd4kDQX
Then Calchas bade our host for flight 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9a3k8XBu60
And hope no conquest from the tedious war, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5S4bkxksdh
Till first they sail'd for Greece; with pray'rs besought 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXen9OTij0S
Her injur'd pow'r, and better omens brought. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAeI2xZrbUPT
And now their navy plows the wat'ry main, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmTzCbT0TMe
Yet soon expect it on your shores again, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAA6RopVbRbG
With Pallas pleas'd; as Calchas did ordain. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAc3OkCTUlF8
But first, to reconcile the blue-ey'd maid 696Please respect copyright.PENANAM0yQg2wpoa
For her stol'n statue and her tow'r betray'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkC6yslxmnK
Warn'd by the seer, to her offended name 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIHgFf8uniL
We rais'd and dedicate this wondrous frame, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnjuOfvTror
So lofty, lest thro' your forbidden gates 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWhiXyhqfYW
It pass, and intercept our better fates: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxnRNOZcW2x
For, once admitted there, our hopes are lost; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6Eyo94y80g
And Troy may then a new Palladium boast; 696Please respect copyright.PENANALLyrlBUtJk
For so religion and the gods ordain, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA4yuHLD2Pv3
That, if you violate with hands profane 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlC3OfiGHTi
Minerva's gift, your town in flames shall burn, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAO5rErnUcVW
(Which omen, O ye gods, on Graecia turn!) 696Please respect copyright.PENANADlmCkc61dK
But if it climb, with your assisting hands, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQEnptIZLkN
The Trojan walls, and in the city stands; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOrDR2rq6j1
Then Troy shall Argos and Mycenae burn, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEgkKbUL0Ha
And the reverse of fate on us return.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANARz1YEtu7Hg
"With such deceits he gain'd their easy hearts, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAI9qkp72fnp
Too prone to credit his perfidious arts. 696Please respect copyright.PENANADmyyohLoBi
What Diomede, nor Thetis' greater son, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZavfp9DoP8
A thousand ships, nor ten years' siege, had done- 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7sLgNKaRyV
False tears and fawning words the city won. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhyvrT31KXn
"A greater omen, and of worse portent, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAS1KDt14zUy
Did our unwary minds with fear torment, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwtkzbGmCqj
Concurring to produce the dire event. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2XnkaEvP0j
Laocoon, Neptune's priest by lot that year, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJUUcSPNc4B
With solemn pomp then sacrific'd a steer; 696Please respect copyright.PENANALL32n3H3P2
When, dreadful to behold, from sea we spied 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzpKlrgkt0p
Two serpents, rank'd abreast, the seas divide, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwXcxQoOYr1
And smoothly sweep along the swelling tide. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAeo7xU7c7C7
Their flaming crests above the waves they show; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJDzoJmXUp2

Their speckled tails advance to steer their course, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuSBNLoz2ys
And on the sounding shore the flying billows force. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMNQYtRDLnr
And now the strand, and now the plain they held; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyUhDv7exSL
Their ardent eyes with bloody streaks were fill'd; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGu5GFCQmT6
Their nimble tongues they brandish'd as they came, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXL66Gy4yFA
And lick'd their hissing jaws, that sputter'd flame. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQDbnfoKBNo
We fled amaz'd; their destin'd way they take, 696Please respect copyright.PENANASjELjUenyp
And to Laocoon and his children make; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUFbwH7OPPn
And first around the tender boys they wind, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWKcyqhNGnN
Then with their sharpen'd fangs their limbs and bodies grind. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKE4raNMCWI
The wretched father, running to their aid 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9b8xVOQOat
With pious haste, but vain, they next invade; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA93AWeP5v8G
Twice round his waist their winding volumes roll'd; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwTrte4UHz6
And twice about his gasping throat they fold. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXLFwzzl0AR
The priest thus doubly chok'd, their crests divide, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhz8NafXCWG
And tow'ring o'er his head in triumph ride. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtusYmCLItC
With both his hands he labors at the knots; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUdBaZShShX
His holy fillets the blue venom blots; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXbxz3P7SiT
His roaring fills the flitting air around. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5iahgV0TzE
Thus, when an ox receives a glancing wound, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkYBzocD8FN
He breaks his bands, the fatal altar flies, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQsElYgQMxr
And with loud bellowings breaks the yielding skies. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJk0vCwDyVr
Their tasks perform'd, the serpents quit their prey, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA4mUJjbFA0S
And to the tow'r of Pallas make their way: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5SNR3E0nc
Couch'd at her feet, they lie protected there 696Please respect copyright.PENANApU9s77RfSZ
By her large buckler and protended spear. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbMq2NTmuuK
Amazement seizes all; the gen'ral cry 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6nySn9TCtA
Proclaims Laocoon justly doom'd to die, 696Please respect copyright.PENANANVvWtC2A2S
Whose hand the will of Pallas had withstood, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJUbDjQY9yR
And dared to violate the sacred wood. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAC7URU3C1Zj
All vote t' admit the steed, that vows be paid 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvParuxKKma
And incense offer'd to th' offended maid. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPFrOB7zNtJ
A spacious breach is made; the town lies bare; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQdapAQHcdc
Some hoisting-levers, some the wheels prepare 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3KLfAqt131
And fasten to the horse's feet; the rest 696Please respect copyright.PENANARqbGb0jLBo
With cables haul along th' unwieldly beast. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFOsMOQN9GW
Each on his fellow for assistance calls; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOjNUKQqszR
At length the fatal fabric mounts the walls, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAAJL07CfjQo
Big with destruction. Boys with chaplets crown'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXrAaKtPVaC
And choirs of virgins, sing and dance around. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzCNOiULlj4
Thus rais'd aloft, and then descending down, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFubuvcqT0l
It enters o'er our heads, and threats the town. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJxW80jl8Pq
O sacred city, built by hands divine! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAE2iurV9C81
O valiant heroes of the Trojan line! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYybFaN3d0w
Four times he struck: as oft the clashing sound 696Please respect copyright.PENANAU930apK7Z5
Of arms was heard, and inward groans rebound. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmYlssyyhYc
Yet, mad with zeal, and blinded with our fate, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGOBT1jfz5V
We haul along the horse in solemn state; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAl4lsKStBWO
Then place the dire portent within the tow'r. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAA0D0VGrYDr
Cassandra cried, and curs'd th' unhappy hour; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYHO5Tm6cgY
Foretold our fate; but, by the god's decree, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5Lht8VRSnX
All heard, and none believ'd the prophecy. 696Please respect copyright.PENANApFrZ4c9w5i
With branches we the fanes adorn, and waste, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKu6xxF1bew
In jollity, the day ordain'd to be the last. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzNUvBdFeM3
Meantime the rapid heav'ns roll'd down the light, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1PRe0Dkgw7
And on the shaded ocean rush'd the night; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmkfO1XXZnn
Our men, secure, nor guards nor sentries held, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5iSNNRcmGA
But easy sleep their weary limbs compell'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFwBGRuqug8
The Grecians had embark'd their naval pow'rs 696Please respect copyright.PENANAc6mMsMPPDQ
From Tenedos, and sought our well-known shores, 696Please respect copyright.PENANASnUz217HoH
Safe under covert of the silent night, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAffqiISPwoO
And guided by th' imperial galley's light; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAj6VX5nC6l8
When Sinon, favor'd by the partial gods, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKqTAIWYg28
Unlock'd the horse, and op'd his dark abodes; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJA00rGpk77
Restor'd to vital air our hidden foes, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZgJQgy01FR
Who joyful from their long confinement rose. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAi9rnfY1zN1
Tysander bold, and Sthenelus their guide, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAta6Zk43u0U
And dire Ulysses down the cable slide: 696Please respect copyright.PENANANud1YQpG6X
Then Thoas, Athamas, and Pyrrhus haste; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQyHhhCRZYe
Nor was the Podalirian hero last, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVsn0Q0i4Yk
Nor injur'd Menelaus, nor the fam'd 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbAEhQT5W2A
Epeus, who the fatal engine fram'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaeJlr9hZef
A nameless crowd succeed; their forces join 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGN4PRlkaiT
T' invade the town, oppress'd with sleep and wine. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAm0HpzmtlOz
Those few they find awake first meet their fate; 696Please respect copyright.PENANApS72rxIVFL
Then to their fellows they unbar the gate. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZMa8ZuJjl3
"'T was in the dead of night, when sleep repairs 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVOZJuxImVo
Our bodies worn with toils, our minds with cares, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAc2c12MtxeU
When Hector's ghost before my sight appears: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOIGPyobZlI
A bloody shroud he seem'd, and bath'd in tears; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgyIkO983tw
Such as he was, when, by Pelides slain, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmuUdqIxNWd
Thessalian coursers dragg'd him o'er the plain. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAH82Xgwre4x
Swoln were his feet, as when the thongs were thrust 696Please respect copyright.PENANALlyHkQJr5N
Thro' the bor'd holes; his body black with dust; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsGJvE1q8YS
Unlike that Hector who return'd from toils 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5Aa249rfif
Of war, triumphant, in Aeacian spoils, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2klp2JErxk
Or him who made the fainting Greeks retire, 696Please respect copyright.PENANABnWbGv32ih
And launch'd against their navy Phrygian fire. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMlaZlns7ph
His hair and beard stood stiffen'd with his gore; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIr7ts7BKHU
And all the wounds he for his country bore 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5SZPGa22B
Now stream'd afresh, and with new purple ran. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3Er9pPvLdo
I wept to see the visionary man, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5AY38x5RNT
And, while my trance continued, thus began: 696Please respect copyright.PENANASwaHbB00XT
'O light of Trojans, and support of Troy, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAs490bbUX2u
Thy father's champion, and thy country's joy! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOli08aaKgd
O, long expected by thy friends! from whence 696Please respect copyright.PENANAX9grLyugbR
Art thou so late return'd for our defense? 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3JwD8tipdG
Do we behold thee, wearied as we are 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5eZWIO50fh
With length of labors, and with toils of war? 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3wq9Gwc3dn
After so many fun'rals of thy own 696Please respect copyright.PENANAd6B0qk84kt
Art thou restor'd to thy declining town? 696Please respect copyright.PENANABvoGotlEPG
But say, what wounds are these? What new disgrace 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzp6Gwxfupo
Deforms the manly features of thy face?' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkWQH7yL4h4
"To this the specter no reply did frame, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlOEOL0cBmU
But answer'd to the cause for which he came, 696Please respect copyright.PENANATUR1gILHUN
And, groaning from the bottom of his breast, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHwN16iE3nu
This warning in these mournful words express'd: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA93Rk9o5vtQ
'O goddess-born! escape, by timely flight, 696Please respect copyright.PENANANY3uJGu32y
The flames and horrors of this fatal night. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5034W0jbor
The foes already have possess'd the wall; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAq0ralQ7cAP
Troy nods from high, and totters to her fall. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA8yrpnPuul9
Enough is paid to Priam's royal name, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAghbFsWmvT7
More than enough to duty and to fame. 696Please respect copyright.PENANArxXjA0dphp
If by a mortal hand my father's throne 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVjGC2Y7t5g
Could be defended, 't was by mine alone. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJ46g761VRu
Now Troy to thee commends her future state, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlm6qJXdlYw
And gives her gods companions of thy fate: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAcqz8lHh8wg
From their assistance walls expect, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhFScc4Rv5F
Which, wand'ring long, at last thou shalt erect.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANATJaHB9kW81
He said, and brought me, from their blest abodes, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAy8kFktSPKB
The venerable statues of the gods, 696Please respect copyright.PENANASwnij7As7f
With ancient Vesta from the sacred choir, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUh5XVYa9u0
The wreaths and relics of th' immortal fire. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhr0hAsOx2Q
"Now peals of shouts come thund'ring from afar, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2QfzV2evah
Cries, threats, and loud laments, and mingled war: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIpf1yjWgIf
The noise approaches, tho' our palace stood 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtbaGmU0MFS
Aloof from streets, encompass'd with a wood. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgH1DUrF68z
Louder, and yet more loud, I hear th' alarms 696Please respect copyright.PENANARq1Rr7Sd69
Of human cries distinct, and clashing arms. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAygj74AZwGP
Fear broke my slumbers; I no longer stay, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUWa5363fzo
But mount the terrace, thence the town survey, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAi7cnNYlEav
And hearken what the frightful sounds convey. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOGdIbhSoTN
Thus, when a flood of fire by wind is borne, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7XT2hzRG2x
Crackling it rolls, and mows the standing corn; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYYApDh5Dos
Or deluges, descending on the plains, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAdzouyIIw0V
Sweep o'er the yellow year, destroy the pains 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKPK4zAbDu6
Of lab'ring oxen and the peasant's gains; 696Please respect copyright.PENANABJXQzkMi2D
Unroot the forest oaks, and bear away 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlbNK9ojOu9
Flocks, folds, and trees, and undistinguish'd prey: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAj70dGYLhI8
The shepherd climbs the cliff, and sees from far 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVrSZZ0QeE4
The wasteful ravage of the wat'ry war. 696Please respect copyright.PENANALYQg0OXcSI
Then Hector's faith was manifestly clear'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANANKEe86png9
And Grecian frauds in open light appear'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGx9mfC7OHh
The palace of Deiphobus ascends 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgoO2g0iIxs
In smoky flames, and catches on his friends. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAt6rUoF45Fd
Ucalegon burns next: the seas are bright 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPNo108GtA9
With splendor not their own, and shine with Trojan light. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAL0En1DAidN
New clamors and new clangors now arise, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqoCOFtJ1pP
The sound of trumpets mix'd with fighting cries. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7rtVEbZ35f
With frenzy seiz'd, I run to meet th' alarms, 696Please respect copyright.PENANABiQcWsKm3C
Resolv'd on death, resolv'd to die in arms, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEmy5tOf5QQ
But first to gather friends, with them t' oppose 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGAmkoAaLrp
(If fortune favor'd) and repel the foes; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQEXtc5ShcP
Spurr'd by my courage, by my country fir'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3ymxv01UyQ
With sense of honor and revenge inspir'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFyzIyrnSPR
"Pantheus, Apollo's priest, a sacred name, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyVnMVuhmQx
Had scap'd the Grecian swords, and pass'd the flame: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAESsIJVCEgJ
With relics loaden. to my doors he fled, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAukbXmeGUsJ
And by the hand his tender grandson led. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFmZLwffmnH
'What hope, O Pantheus? whither can we run? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAeiu6NwJZDC
Where make a stand? and what may yet be done?' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZxZxdnBejo
Scarce had I said, when Pantheus, with a groan: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKbBhIZk6QN
'Troy is no more, and Ilium was a town! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAp5W5MCte2O
The fatal day, th' appointed hour, is come, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtw6BNDWDZy
When wrathful Jove's irrevocable doom 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtnNy5VxZpj
Transfers the Trojan state to Grecian hands. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAml5hn8Vb3J
The fire consumes the town, the foe commands; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjAqdDJk3Ww
And armed hosts, an unexpected force, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkgkr8SnF41
Break from the bowels of the fatal horse. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyzu2HyUDtJ
Within the gates, proud Sinon throws about 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFGuzexoxPP
The flames; and foes for entrance press without, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAK8UOAYb4zx
With thousand others, whom I fear to name, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAawBVOEvn9V
More than from Argos or Mycenae came. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAf8RTShemGV
To sev'ral posts their parties they divide; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZicgxBTpJ
Some block the narrow streets, some scour the wide: 696Please respect copyright.PENANARB40DrgjQZ
The bold they kill, th' unwary they surprise; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAn09h5zWp6B
Who fights finds death, and death finds him who flies. 696Please respect copyright.PENANADbj3x7FRvS
The warders of the gate but scarce maintain 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsK6U3qD7kG
Th' unequal combat, and resist in vain.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1gGUK0Xw78
"I heard; and Heav'n, that well-born souls inspires, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2hoT6INZHe
Prompts me thro' lifted swords and rising fires 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKMFfY1Q6Lx
To run where clashing arms and clamor calls, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6cvcN1CTYZ
And rush undaunted to defend the walls. 696Please respect copyright.PENANATTVMHGgWzy
Ripheus and Iph'itus by my side engage, 696Please respect copyright.PENANANTwlTOwQec
For valor one renown'd, and one for age. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5MoeNgtYXL
Dymas and Hypanis by moonlight knew 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXObNMutsu1
My motions and my mien, and to my party drew; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5RkZUqJPw
With young Coroebus, who by love was led 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkZjmkw2FU8
To win renown and fair Cassandra's bed, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAu3mcLuOMjK
And lately brought his troops to Priam's aid, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAed1VjzPrtX
Forewarn'd in vain by the prophetic maid. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAr5gIXwNhfs
Whom when I saw resolv'd in arms to fall, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfhtBjPo35v
And that one spirit animated all: 696Please respect copyright.PENANALUsBEU9SwP
'Brave souls!' said I,- 'but brave, alas! in vain- 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7boRfU03WT
Come, finish what our cruel fates ordain. 696Please respect copyright.PENANACVSoRN0VpR
You see the desp'rate state of our affairs, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAorllOJ9NXy
And heav'n's protecting pow'rs are deaf to pray'rs. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzNG8qXTTUm
The passive gods behold the Greeks defile 696Please respect copyright.PENANA8aOZBR4DVY
Their temples, and abandon to the spoil 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5LuTmRipF4
Their own abodes: we, feeble few, conspire 696Please respect copyright.PENANALMcUA9D8ub
To save a sinking town, involv'd in fire. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2tJBm27FAZ
Then let us fall, but fall amidst our foes: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnGzPKVvrWE
Despair of life the means of living shows.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIGzARiDGZ5
So bold a speech incourag'd their desire 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzqkJ3GiLdr
Of death, and added fuel to their fire. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFVqJBENO9g
"As hungry wolves, with raging appetite, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7ImXkLH67d
Scour thro' the fields, nor fear the stormy night- 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEgT0UJsMlj
Their whelps at home expect the promis'd food, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqUH8nmrjwG
And long to temper their dry chaps in blood- 696Please respect copyright.PENANAz2jTrFiC82
So rush'd we forth at once; resolv'd to die, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9XDbmMpNr2
Resolv'd, in death, the last extremes to try. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyiyGrfD0SH
We leave the narrow lanes behind, and dare 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvAJ4zKQkpV
Th' unequal combat in the public square: 696Please respect copyright.PENANABqAAw9I2RK
Night was our friend; our leader was despair. 696Please respect copyright.PENANApNR4CBBS4p
What tongue can tell the slaughter of that night? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJLXVaCJuqz
What eyes can weep the sorrows and affright? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAacRGfLl4HJ
An ancient and imperial city falls: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmWNFDC3E44
The streets are fill'd with frequent funerals; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEqcSngeQLC
Houses and holy temples float in blood, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVTC1GjxGbH
And hostile nations make a common flood. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1RvQcwTKT2
Not only Trojans fall; but, in their turn, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAk2KnWMYWqK
The vanquish'd triumph, and the victors mourn. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA4IM4RD9lBT
Ours take new courage from despair and night: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyOhlRr56ud
Confus'd the fortune is, confus'd the fight. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUsiCJtovaP
All parts resound with tumults, plaints, and fears; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9ExEwe1bz4
And grisly Death in sundry shapes appears. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEBFsXWokCE
Androgeos fell among us, with his band, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAoDPB3J2CaD
Who thought us Grecians newly come to land. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAdBAQjVHVbY
'From whence,' said he, 'my friends, this long delay? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaZyrR5Wp4Z
You loiter, while the spoils are borne away: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6KgM9bKUl
Our ships are laden with the Trojan store; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAcxd6xrzaR9
And you, like truants, come too late ashore.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaU2qsMgxfs
He said, but soon corrected his mistake, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAv2zRqLH4TB
Found, by the doubtful answers which we make: 696Please respect copyright.PENANASAthYZYhSP
Amaz'd, he would have shunn'd th' unequal fight; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOjB2bbjLUh
But we, more num'rous, intercept his flight. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAu5wwXxjjeS
As when some peasant, in a bushy brake, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqqgqXqZR8a
Has with unwary footing press'd a snake; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsg3p4XEthZ
He starts aside, astonish'd, when he spies 696Please respect copyright.PENANALsuge3h4EC
His rising crest, blue neck, and rolling eyes; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlPTYeSyzpG
So from our arms surpris'd Androgeos flies. 696Please respect copyright.PENANABbXBvVfp7D
In vain; for him and his we compass'd round, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAn8PunMw9Q9
Possess'd with fear, unknowing of the ground, 696Please respect copyright.PENANArcKAQaOGFi
And of their lives an easy conquest found. 696Please respect copyright.PENANALRmRyfJjKn
Thus Fortune on our first endeavor smil'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAT0N4Qy096H
Coroebus then, with youthful hopes beguil'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjuAFvO0iCq
Swoln with success, and a daring mind, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAoxy42LMfKc
This new invention fatally design'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANApGtjUEUy6A
'My friends,' said he, 'since Fortune shows the way, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAllwNVLz4ve
'T is fit we should th' auspicious guide obey. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlGhspLDtqz
For what has she these Grecian arms bestow'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYRMlQf0Qnp
But their destruction, and the Trojans' good? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAh3k6f0NMwc
Then change we shields, and their devices bear: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAeM3N3c80cE
Let fraud supply the want of force in war. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwP2U0om9KT
They find us arms.' This said, himself he dress'd 696Please respect copyright.PENANAC4A57Oo0Hf
In dead Androgeos' spoils, his upper vest, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAy3dxCrz9Oa
His painted buckler, and his plumy crest. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAX1VEK8vASB
Thus Ripheus, Dymas, all the Trojan train, 696Please respect copyright.PENANABiXyeixEe6
Lay down their own attire, and strip the slain. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAV43NfjO5KK
Mix'd with the Greeks, we go with ill presage, 696Please respect copyright.PENANADy1iPtRd74
Flatter'd with hopes to glut our greedy rage; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAR3anQD4Mkc
Unknown, assaulting whom we blindly meet, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAv66Pcq6KXv
And strew with Grecian carcasses the street. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3Dt0QrS7WC
Thus while their straggling parties we defeat, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAejEnHAnPD1
Some to the shore and safer ships retreat; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAj4Zn7sfBgk
And some, oppress'd with more ignoble fear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5uahwuTJ0q
Remount the hollow horse, and pant in secret there. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKgPLB8LjBv
"But, ah! what use of valor can be made, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAASV7SS0NS7
When heav'n's propitious pow'rs refuse their aid! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEc4zqfIh4b
Behold the royal prophetess, the fair 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPdySFp7ri6
Cassandra, dragg'd by her dishevel'd hair, 696Please respect copyright.PENANACeV4rxTnnZ
Whom not Minerva's shrine, nor sacred bands, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA43DCg99WsC
In safety could protect from sacrilegious hands: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtK8FjmIsJ2
On heav'n she cast her eyes, she sigh'd, she cried- 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOIbvWljn7C
'T was all she could- her tender arms were tied. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkOrpyqw31Q
So sad a sight Coroebus could not bear; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5qsFgw5iWt
But, fir'd with rage, distracted with despair, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXvreW2JDMC
Amid the barb'rous ravishers he flew: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJmxXfU67xY
Our leader's rash example we pursue. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAR5gXMyKsLd
But storms of stones, from the proud temple's height, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6QKDl8T7qA
Pour down, and on our batter'd helms alight: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQdldpHS8hi
We from our friends receiv'd this fatal blow, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAt9eiwCbCuQ
Who thought us Grecians, as we seem'd in show. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA32tdcqNrBL
They aim at the mistaken crests, from high; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbpSd76lJqP
And ours beneath the pond'rous ruin lie. 696Please respect copyright.PENANALL4LOKxUSK
Then, mov'd with anger and disdain, to see 696Please respect copyright.PENANAehIQnvb52o
Their troops dispers'd, the royal virgin free, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAe1PNO6GLny
The Grecians rally, and their pow'rs unite, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxJLQdIx8N0
With fury charge us, and renew the fight. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAU657jmSxus
The brother kings with Ajax join their force, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAT7TbUAc6cc
And the whole squadron of Thessalian horse. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAg5lWoKvw49
"Thus, when the rival winds their quarrel try, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAA8kNjXnzFd
Contending for the kingdom of the sky, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAAZzn6hgrM9
South, east, and west, on airy coursers borne; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqe5eyQFdZt
The whirlwind gathers, and the woods are torn: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEGKlQVDaPa
Then Nereus strikes the deep; the billows rise, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA823gtuqc55
And, mix'd with ooze and sand, pollute the skies. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjdoXLNF7Xd
The troops we squander'd first again appear 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYYk9UVzbXE
From several quarters, and enclose the rear. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAH9J7sLVxHn
They first observe, and to the rest betray, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAA0oHu44TDh
Our diff'rent speech; our borrow'd arms survey. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAey9S4luC0u
Oppress'd with odds, we fall; Coroebus first, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwJX2lfZDWA
At Pallas' altar, by Peneleus pierc'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXpBkDWiUIK
Then Ripheus follow'd, in th' unequal fight; 696Please respect copyright.PENANArxfHKACDoP
Just of his word, observant of the right: 696Please respect copyright.PENANADe042egzoj
Heav'n thought not so. Dymas their fate attends, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhOjmEHWRMq
With Hypanis, mistaken by their friends. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuyTZr4awVN
Nor, Pantheus, thee, thy miter, nor the bands 696Please respect copyright.PENANAppJEkAKSbC
Of awful Phoebus, sav'd from impious hands. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9tKlsz8FL
Ye Trojan flames, your testimony bear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAp8jf4zOJ63
What I perform'd, and what I suffer'd there; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKYq5R4fCT7
No sword avoiding in the fatal strife, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jf4E5dhM8
Expos'd to death, and prodigal of life; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFVU6yfJTZ2
Witness, ye heavens! I live not by my fault: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA45i1z8kMbj
I strove to have deserv'd the death I sought. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXAVYEHaN7S
But, when I could not fight, and would have died, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnDX9UO0syY
Borne off to distance by the growing tide, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaPQBcZz4yp
Old Iphitus and I were hurried thence, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZBSzvDCFJu
With Pelias wounded, and without defense. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEFJtIID06O
New clamors from th' invested palace ring: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1ke9jJzPfZ
We run to die, or disengage the king. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAc9Ta8CJfBE
So hot th' assault, so high the tumult rose, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwPpdnqIJLG
While ours defend, and while the Greeks oppose 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPnYYXUmnMc
As all the Dardan and Argolic race 696Please respect copyright.PENANABVpeSrR1p3
Had been contracted in that narrow space; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxgA02fULoz
Or as all Ilium else were void of fear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAM81glejGQo
And tumult, war, and slaughter, only there. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKNsRVeeSLu
Their targets in a tortoise cast, the foes, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1NYKMk8cqH
Secure advancing, to the turrets rose: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA23TPNDeUCl
Some mount the scaling ladders; some, more bold, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAohwumrY88A
Swerve upwards, and by posts and pillars hold; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7KumDwyzr
Their left hand gripes their bucklers in th' ascent, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjQaVzW50FG
While with their right they seize the battlement. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQwHPJYOpYh
From their demolish'd tow'rs the Trojans throw 696Please respect copyright.PENANATWtQxTI68d
Huge heaps of stones, that, falling, crush the foe; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7CoEf0ZcvZ
And heavy beams and rafters from the sides 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGDQtWTFMPv
(Such arms their last necessity provides) 696Please respect copyright.PENANAAUGkrec0Fb
And gilded roofs, come tumbling from on high, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6jXn0BGY9V
The marks of state and ancient royalty. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPSJhIiWwdo
The guards below, fix'd in the pass, attend 696Please respect copyright.PENANABUq8wbbUts
The charge undaunted, and the gate defend. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6t9PqpCIfr
Renew'd in courage with recover'd breath, 696Please respect copyright.PENANATD6DYKn8vR
A second time we ran to tempt our death, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAm1f6GUcDl3
To clear the palace from the foe, succeed 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGAlNlcaWjo
The weary living, and revenge the dead. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqwZepHhQ2Q
"A postern door, yet unobserv'd and free, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZOgK4dS9bx
Join'd by the length of a blind gallery, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApzCEOi8pj5
To the king's closet led: a way well known 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbGMdDsE7fy
To Hector's wife, while Priam held the throne, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAD8Dn0UlbzC
Thro' which she brought Astyanax, unseen, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAn8qJeKfhFw
To cheer his grandsire and his grandsire's queen. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPC2ep3viJC
Thro' this we pass, and mount the tow'r, from whence 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaiFdSPNaVm
With unavailing arms the Trojans make defense. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhSEuIbLt48
From this the trembling king had oft descried 696Please respect copyright.PENANA8VyYkxKuQL
The Grecian camp, and saw their navy ride. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzFYRJo9W0T
Beams from its lofty height with swords we hew, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKjSusEa9Np
Then, wrenching with our hands, th' assault renew; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMp03l1lF3F
And, where the rafters on the columns meet, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXsv4fhm1mR
We push them headlong with our arms and feet. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGR9LktjzKT
The lightning flies not swifter than the fall, 696Please respect copyright.PENANATqBiLfzQB8
Nor thunder louder than the ruin'd wall: 696Please respect copyright.PENANANfZKNreVdP
Down goes the top at once; the Greeks beneath 696Please respect copyright.PENANAor3dCxRUfx
Are piecemeal torn, or pounded into death. 696Please respect copyright.PENANANuAh1HFToK
Yet more succeed, and more to death are sent; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHGBRJ3Rx8b
We cease not from above, nor they below relent. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAa4VXS4X3Dw
Before the gate stood Pyrrhus, threat'ning loud, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1qcgPYCIH6
With glitt'ring arms conspicuous in the crowd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9UrLUYppTv
So shines, renew'd in youth, the crested snake, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6TeslOZ1HQ
Who slept the winter in a thorny brake, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAd2cyuxhF5F
And, casting off his slough when spring returns, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2RMYyyBIaU
Now looks aloft, and with new glory burns; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAR7kp6vxOZc
Restor'd with poisonous herbs, his ardent sides 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMDXQpq3JBG
Reflect the sun; and rais'd on spires he rides; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnrvnVop9Wg
High o'er the grass, hissing he rolls along, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvpSMtjvZ5k
And brandishes by fits his forky tongue. 696Please respect copyright.PENANATV3bEmfZNS
Proud Periphas, and fierce Automedon, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOEQq7yYQ59
His father's charioteer, together run 696Please respect copyright.PENANAN6uqBBSCIY
To force the gate; the Scyrian infantry 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyhbD46Dfau
Rush on in crowds, and the barr'd passage free. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1u8nzDeT3I
Ent'ring the court, with shouts the skies they rend; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAoqr2xelOI8
And flaming firebrands to the roofs ascend. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnkF58euTuV
Himself, among the foremost, deals his blows, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZo4sy8Dt54
And with his ax repeated strokes bestows 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzmvBZpwoNF
On the strong doors; then all their shoulders ply, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAur6E8t7iKY
Till from the posts the brazen hinges fly. 696Please respect copyright.PENANABiDOFzzKgY
He hews apace; the double bars at length 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMm1ZNt4eNt
Yield to his ax and unresisted strength. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA775RyPMKLq
A mighty breach is made: the rooms conceal'd 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFmzuZcypjy
Appear, and all the palace is reveal'd; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwbqxvs7zx5
The halls of audience, and of public state, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJlKZr9WAbr
And where the lonely queen in secret sate. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVoJiRGOc1d
Arm'd soldiers now by trembling maids are seen, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAb7sXntBuvZ
With not a door, and scarce a space, between. 696Please respect copyright.PENANATTOATO9ojJ
The house is fill'd with loud laments and cries, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXJIFKBCjgC
And shrieks of women rend the vaulted skies; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6WsIQCyuAx
The fearful matrons run from place to place, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAes55W9q4aX
And kiss the thresholds, and the posts embrace. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmP407QT32z
The fatal work inhuman Pyrrhus plies, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAybLbl4F3nY
And all his father sparkles in his eyes; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jr6sjlmUx
Nor bars, nor fighting guards, his force sustain: 696Please respect copyright.PENANARXjXTzRDTL
The bars are broken, and the guards are slain. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKDyUGBZ87I
In rush the Greeks, and all the apartments fill; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWqVN98xP1k
Those few defendants whom they find, they kill. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAx71td2lK27
Not with so fierce a rage the foaming flood 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvcSjLqiq5j
Roars, when he finds his rapid course withstood; 696Please respect copyright.PENANATaafRIVqjF
Bears down the dams with unresisted sway, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6ljB0uFdQG
And sweeps the cattle and the cots away. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6yGOguwYCQ
These eyes beheld him when he march'd between 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvR5AyJW9N6
The brother kings: I saw th' unhappy queen, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7CIwGN2dWw
The hundred wives, and where old Priam stood, 696Please respect copyright.PENANACvhEPZkOCA
To stain his hallow'd altar with his brood. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAB4hm0KfVx2
The fifty nuptial beds (such hopes had he, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbUaq0QZu3H
So large a promise, of a progeny), 696Please respect copyright.PENANAH096v1bJj4
The posts, of plated gold, and hung with spoils, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZUxIGrj3Pi
Fell the reward of the proud victor's toils. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlF22Pb0AUw
Where'er the raging fire had left a space, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3ktvjPGv4H
The Grecians enter and possess the place. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAq9nhfs5uTk
"Perhaps you may of Priam's fate enquire. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmhI9v3dJGs
He, when he saw his regal town on fire, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqkpeAnAzup
His ruin'd palace, and his ent'ring foes, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAx3lsqSjbPf
On ev'ry side inevitable woes, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5fGJ45oPJG
In arms, disus'd, invests his limbs, decay'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmOobPqgFxi
Like them, with age; a late and useless aid. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlzmWLRRQrM
His feeble shoulders scarce the weight sustain; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWqLevA4YYF
Loaded, not arm'd, he creeps along with pain, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfYiMdUcUNy
Despairing of success, ambitious to be slain! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIxrszSzlPF
Uncover'd but by heav'n, there stood in view 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZq4HJRcCCR
An altar; near the hearth a laurel grew, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFiJIUVvWWL
Dodder'd with age, whose boughs encompass round 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYv3hkqJcoq
The household gods, and shade the holy ground. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Munh8VUB
Here Hecuba, with all her helpless train 696Please respect copyright.PENANAztBhPuo5xH
Of dames, for shelter sought, but sought in vain. 696Please respect copyright.PENANADZZDFz87ob
Driv'n like a flock of doves along the sky, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwnjqIypIuT
Their images they hug, and to their altars fly. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqpdUSimxuL
The Queen, when she beheld her trembling lord, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJZyq3exbpY
And hanging by his side a heavy sword, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjKc6u5WBOE
'What rage,' she cried, 'has seiz'd my husband's mind? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYvsWUIR7zK
What arms are these, and to what use design'd? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqAxu4lM2fi
These times want other aids! Were Hector here, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvNK2BK5twY
Ev'n Hector now in vain, like Priam, would appear. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQRtk6JzThK
With us, one common shelter thou shalt find, 696Please respect copyright.PENANArWA2Ji6Ggz
Or in one common fate with us be join'd.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxwUL3WpM4C
She said, and with a last salute embrac'd 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVAKJL5USmB
The poor old man, and by the laurel plac'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANADdml6jb6OU
Behold! Polites, one of Priam's sons, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfNbIRumyoL
Pursued by Pyrrhus, there for safety runs. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKQhag1aZjJ
Thro' swords and foes, amaz'd and hurt, he flies 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmO450rrihZ
Thro' empty courts and open galleries. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfYqvska3Rv
Him Pyrrhus, urging with his lance, pursues, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Wmwjmb67
And often reaches, and his thrusts renews. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA54jqTNF2lp
The youth, transfix'd, with lamentable cries, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUPRlHwxeWO
Expires before his wretched parent's eyes: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA226usoqvU4
Whom gasping at his feet when Priam saw, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnurD2hAGlk
The fear of death gave place to nature's law; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWyfztBsohb
And, shaking more with anger than with age, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYSsIqbXJyS
'The gods,' said he, 'requite thy brutal rage! 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5DFtEfWRVE
As sure they will, barbarian, sure they must, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA18GHB15rL9
If there be gods in heav'n, and gods be just- 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEXwnQe5piG
Who tak'st in wrongs an insolent delight; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAN5oMo6Ag6R
With a son's death t' infect a father's sight. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzy2XvJL09E
Not he, whom thou and lying fame conspire 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPNqd0vzHDh
To call thee his- not he, thy vaunted sire, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvsbAhHBo5c
Thus us'd my wretched age: the gods he fear'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxEN338VySi
The laws of nature and of nations heard. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzfhuRT7eZR
He cheer'd my sorrows, and, for sums of gold, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5AKjeMfBhO
The bloodless carcass of my Hector sold; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGzwvVCtTGj
Pitied the woes a parent underwent, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxx3Ad7Rzsz
And sent me back in safety from his tent.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHp6hBkt91u
"This said, his feeble hand a javelin threw, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA33VIgDnNHk
Which, flutt'ring, seem'd to loiter as it flew: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGTbYnkdXrX
Just, and but barely, to the mark it held, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAf4dZ32GEJJ
And faintly tinkled on the brazen shield. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaarrn2kEY9
"Then Pyrrhus thus: 'Go thou from me to fate, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKq2uy8Qv1o
And to my father my foul deeds relate. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzrouGQOCn1
Now die!' With that he dragg'd the trembling sire, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAasRNtvWRse
Slidd'ring thro' clotter'd blood and holy mire, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAh4maDryZO6
(The mingled paste his murder'd son had made,) 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkKreFEptuL
Haul'd from beneath the violated shade, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApmYsjU0GpC
And on the sacred pile the royal victim laid. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZuFsN7axl5
His right hand held his bloody falchion bare, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaBeTUfitue
His left he twisted in his hoary hair; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5cisODpUOk
Then, with a speeding thrust, his heart he found: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMGb9qj5inx
The lukewarm blood came rushing thro' the wound, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAoi42Yq32VZ
And sanguine streams distain'd the sacred ground. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5OklCaCqwH
Thus Priam fell, and shar'd one common fate 696Please respect copyright.PENANAh1JR7Pzr59
With Troy in ashes, and his ruin'd state: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhNhUkS6IN9
He, who the scepter of all Asia sway'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzcDC0WU1Dr
Whom monarchs like domestic slaves obey'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAH6qtO3NQ6x
On the bleak shore now lies th' abandon'd king, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2P5tTRigcu
A headless carcass, and a nameless thing. 696Please respect copyright.PENANApM2eluN5Jf
"Then, not before, I felt my cruddled blood 696Please respect copyright.PENANAoi0f2sAPZC
Congeal with fear, my hair with horror stood: 696Please respect copyright.PENANATNFx92rAS7
My father's image fill'd my pious mind, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2YqDGWad0L
Lest equal years might equal fortune find. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAASKZxATatV
Again I thought on my forsaken wife, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQuU3XVVqBf
And trembled for my son's abandon'd life. 696Please respect copyright.PENANARZ2HA01nlE
I look'd about, but found myself alone, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAr8GoIXSXPz
Deserted at my need! My friends were gone. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXPEyqyPn4A
Some spent with toil, some with despair oppress'd, 696Please respect copyright.PENANALQDkX1VNZg
Leap'd headlong from the heights; the flames consum'd the rest. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAH83ZUBNtb3
Thus, wand'ring in my way, without a guide, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwByxyNvKx8
The graceless Helen in the porch I spied 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFSmKdgufw8
Of Vesta's temple; there she lurk'd alone; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvYowp1j5uT
Muffled she sate, and, what she could, unknown: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAD4GN1hIe6j
But, by the flames that cast their blaze around, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIX26luluOo
That common bane of Greece and Troy I found. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAemXQcWE5Av
For Ilium burnt, she dreads the Trojan sword; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgdU159BGlm
More dreads the vengeance of her injur'd lord; 696Please respect copyright.PENANArlY4Ao7KJP
Ev'n by those gods who refug'd her abhorr'd. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ5sTGWDT7
Trembling with rage, the strumpet I regard, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOQmD5qPUnk
Resolv'd to give her guilt the due reward: 696Please respect copyright.PENANATGaooytTQ2
'Shall she triumphant sail before the wind, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApt1X5AGLM4
And leave in flames unhappy Troy behind? 696Please respect copyright.PENANADyD1A0R9HY
Shall she her kingdom and her friends review, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxXUsz6p7As
In state attended with a captive crew, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxqGV8kYgKb
While unreveng'd the good old Priam falls, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7TvsAvpXt
And Grecian fires consume the Trojan walls? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAndeCued1F8
For this the Phrygian fields and Xanthian flood 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6tI0zhJlgD
Were swell'd with bodies, and were drunk with blood? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAr3NHg566rL
'T is true, a soldier can small honor gain, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAH3BGqnWli8
And boast no conquest, from a woman slain: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwvoCHycPa0
Yet shall the fact not pass without applause, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAd3SyYDmFAR
Of vengeance taken in so just a cause; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA84SWQA0cng
The punish'd crime shall set my soul at ease, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFgFUkUo3Py
And murm'ring manes of my friends appease.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANADLt9gzrNCX
Thus while I rave, a gleam of pleasing light 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfKcOC3vTBQ
Spread o'er the place; and, shining heav'nly bright, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWai4L09pJe
My mother stood reveal'd before my sight 696Please respect copyright.PENANARUQu2RmhkC
Never so radiant did her eyes appear; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAX20PUmwgKs
Not her own star confess'd a light so clear: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGuQ2Jhh6ay
Great in her charms, as when on gods above 696Please respect copyright.PENANACPmZEsKbAC
She looks, and breathes herself into their love. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAVYzlD2el0C
She held my hand, the destin'd blow to break; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwGWdPAZ8u5
Then from her rosy lips began to speak: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAiA5SHdUPJo
'My son, from whence this madness, this neglect 696Please respect copyright.PENANAF8zoVLIQPt
Of my commands, and those whom I protect? 696Please respect copyright.PENANACH36TR7PaA
Why this unmanly rage? Recall to mind 696Please respect copyright.PENANAXxyNvkxsWQ
Whom you forsake, what pledges leave behind. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAP4HUyGtwnO
Look if your helpless father yet survive, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqk2Joyzp43
Or if Ascanius or Creusa live. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAiKwRa3S2mX
Around your house the greedy Grecians err; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAofQFZ5hTek
And these had perish'd in the nightly war, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5XR897PTbZ
But for my presence and protecting care. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEk5TZbLz8H
Not Helen's face, nor Paris, was in fault; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxDl1q5xHym
But by the gods was this destruction brought. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAooUJjPY0EP
Now cast your eyes around, while I dissolve 696Please respect copyright.PENANACh26hQoe3w
The mists and films that mortal eyes involve, 696Please respect copyright.PENANArPZ71wSqOU
Purge from your sight the dross, and make you see 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfABTSng3Gp
The shape of each avenging deity. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA12XpKEfV6s
Enlighten'd thus, my just commands fulfil, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJSR0Srkz7x
Nor fear obedience to your mother's will. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3rqCn36sP5
Where yon disorder'd heap of ruin lies, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApWmuZWYI48
Stones rent from stones; where clouds of dust arise- 696Please respect copyright.PENANAodsPW1O6U1
Amid that smother Neptune holds his place, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9LMevgeErv
Below the wall's foundation drives his mace, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsgKufj8k3Z
And heaves the building from the solid base. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuaayNc453i
Look where, in arms, imperial Juno stands 696Please respect copyright.PENANACixFmxEnvD
Full in the Scaean gate, with loud commands, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQoFZxJ5Bib
Urging on shore the tardy Grecian bands. 696Please respect copyright.PENANATpZB6264ks
See! Pallas, of her snaky buckler proud, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUADqJdityy
Bestrides the tow'r, refulgent thro' the cloud: 696Please respect copyright.PENANALawHn50nNT
See! Jove new courage to the foe supplies, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYM5W5tNuw5
And arms against the town the partial deities. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAAezPlJsN9W
Haste hence, my son; this fruitless labor end: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvU6NeQZzZU
Haste, where your trembling spouse and sire attend: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAab8bB9CPSk
Haste; and a mother's care your passage shall befriend.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqTzB7PUIWG
She said, and swiftly vanish'd from my sight, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAF7jRfmdkFb
Obscure in clouds and gloomy shades of night. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3jqPlIwnJ4
I look'd, I listen'd; dreadful sounds I hear; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAF1NRjgLkLK
And the dire forms of hostile gods appear. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA4VwMOZie1i
Troy sunk in flames I saw (nor could prevent), 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlhtLNnws62
And Ilium from its old foundations rent; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHei9t0mFyC
Rent like a mountain ash, which dar'd the winds, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsD10mpKtDT
And stood the sturdy strokes of lab'ring hinds. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAK6ZPqdaAeK
About the roots the cruel ax resounds; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAq3NBLja8HV
The stumps are pierc'd with oft-repeated wounds: 696Please respect copyright.PENANA298BZJJfro
The war is felt on high; the nodding crown 696Please respect copyright.PENANASCcOjZOxsX
Now threats a fall, and throws the leafy honors down. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA0yT2V6iC75
To their united force it yields, tho' late, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnXlWPpZyXd
And mourns with mortal groans th' approaching fate: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnEZ8FIh52Q
The roots no more their upper load sustain; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGAQCAjTLhX
But down she falls, and spreads a ruin thro' the plain. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1zHVHz3uV1
"Descending thence, I scape thro' foes and fire: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlDeTMyAWgG
Before the goddess, foes and flames retire. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUpvzn341ES

Or most for his, such toils I undertake, 696Please respect copyright.PENANACNnm2D36hF
The good Anchises, whom, by timely flight, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApFXOBHK2by
I purpos'd to secure on Ida's height, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAOIKvy6Spx6
Refus'd the journey, resolute to die 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtYffkfXanc
And add his fun'rals to the fate of Troy, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA8cXrDG4giq
Rather than exile and old age sustain. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAAmo8nTcBZE
'Go you, whose blood runs warm in ev'ry vein. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAP8O8ueIBD5
Had Heav'n decreed that I should life enjoy, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgOllOF02vH

And give this useless corpse a long adieu. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA8L53sOlJBD
These weak old hands suffice to stop my breath; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGGMtMGqylk
At least the pitying foes will aid my death, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAdryFxTLyaG
To take my spoils, and leave my body bare: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAr8dxfqzD7r

Myself, my wife, my son, my family, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA8SrbdE8sQJ
Intreat, pray, beg, and raise a doleful cry- 696Please respect copyright.PENANAsbx0yCBmjF
'What, will he still persist, on death resolve, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQNku3QliAE
And in his ruin all his house involve!' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJTeasqwll8

'What hope remains, but what my death must give? 696Please respect copyright.PENANADd2XkBVekB
Can I, without so dear a father, live? 696Please respect copyright.PENANARkhEsrFJsi
You term it prudence, what I baseness call: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAet5gffLgG6
Could such a word from such a parent fall? 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtl48Kse1O3
If Fortune please, and so the gods ordain, 696Please respect copyright.PENANATPR1ImCpR8
That nothing should of ruin'd Troy remain, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAqHXNp7wvSz
And you conspire with Fortune to be slain, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEIKwm4ENNS
The way to death is wide, th' approaches near: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbNfwHb1hXr
For soon relentless Pyrrhus will appear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUepHwi4SaH
Reeking with Priam's blood- the wretch who slew 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwDGyYRUnL5
The son (inhuman) in the father's view, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAktw2hZYck3
And then the sire himself to the dire altar drew. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2FDfMfeBSU

Arm'd once again, my glitt'ring sword I wield, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAumpvFtQsTm
While th' other hand sustains my weighty shield, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJQCaB19eVX
And forth I rush to seek th' abandon'd field. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPmy3lUjgj5
I went; but sad Creusa stopp'd my way, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA5AoZ0KYHvi
And cross the threshold in my passage lay, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAAwt4GCvOHq
Embrac'd my knees, and, when I would have gone, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuMcmPWWRTO
Shew'd me my feeble sire and tender son: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfxHUsjEi5f
'If death be your design, at least,' said she, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7rdOu7hqhH
'Take us along to share your destiny. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAW1b9b9ORD4

While thus she fills the house with clam'rous cries, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAe3dmaqCbRh
Our hearing is diverted by our eyes: 696Please respect copyright.PENANACsF2VZPkY1
For, while I held my son, in the short space 696Please respect copyright.PENANAc8bg9p4EIy
Betwixt our kisses and our last embrace; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyfN6GIiE4o
Strange to relate, from young Iulus' head 696Please respect copyright.PENANAy1p6B6yBap
A lambent flame arose, which gently spread 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUB72j1BKHR
Around his brows, and on his temples fed. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJlS13WKDPP
Amaz'd, with running water we prepare 696Please respect copyright.PENANAFCsdezBWMO
To quench the sacred fire, and slake his hair; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAi40FmjbP1c
But old Anchises, vers'd in omens, rear'd 696Please respect copyright.PENANAhoPgwNc4yo
His hands to heav'n, and this request preferr'd: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfr0ZcTDqQw
'If any vows, almighty Jove, can bend 696Please respect copyright.PENANASiCEVTR3sI

Scarce had he said, when, on our left, we hear 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnt6IFkAmRZ
A peal of rattling thunder roll in air: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAQkmsKJFzSD
There shot a streaming lamp along the sky, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJBUJD2mVwo
Which on the winged lightning seem'd to fly; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAol3HYh7ZfP
From o'er the roof the blaze began to move, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAWhlosNSzxt
And, trailing, vanish'd in th' Idaean grove. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAu4A0KJOSu4
It swept a path in heav'n, and shone a guide, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKK2uAytOWb
Then in a steaming stench of sulphur died. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAKUS0yi5HHo
"The good old man with suppliant hands implor'd 696Please respect copyright.PENANAMM0uefJdTi

"He said. The crackling flames appear on high. 696Please respect copyright.PENANACW1xASXVyU
And driving sparkles dance along the sky. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAW62oIw1S2V
With Vulcan's rage the rising winds conspire, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAk7qIRCRg1E
And near our palace roll the flood of fire. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAd9HLPBzEEy
'Haste, my dear father, ('t is no time to wait,) 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1JSYIt6jwg
And load my shoulders with a willing freight. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvt4v4THbg9

One death, or one deliv'rance, we will share. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaMG97FDhhS
My hand shall lead our little son; and you, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgPLenUJU7D
My faithful consort, shall our steps pursue. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAUaQanQBeL4
Next, you, my servants, heed my strict commands: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAISa26JWvO9
Without the walls a ruin'd temple stands, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjsW2vVuxkg
To Ceres hallow'd once; a cypress nigh 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPTcT3B18sK
Shoots up her venerable head on high, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAIydsNXdtTT
By long religion kept; there bend your feet, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA0WyhD61GL0
And in divided parties let us meet. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjB1EpkxsOr
Our country gods, the relics, and the bands, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3jWcrfVpZq
Hold you, my father, in your guiltless hands: 696Please respect copyright.PENANANJdaN2TYZK
In me 't is impious holy things to bear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAYZyDvQq1Gy
Red as I am with slaughter, new from war, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfezW1mhRhs
Till in some living stream I cleanse the guilt 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGzUkhN3zK7
Of dire debate, and blood in battle spilt.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAJVegr8zzMY
Thus, ord'ring all that prudence could provide, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkoZu5QBwwL
I clothe my shoulders with a lion's hide 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfresdVuH4U
And yellow spoils; then, on my bending back, 696Please respect copyright.PENANApLvk0ZWMGc
The welcome load of my dear father take; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAq25C5JTJiW
While on my better hand Ascanius hung, 696Please respect copyright.PENANABIFR726503
And with unequal paces tripp'd along. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAej9WGCW2Np
Creusa kept behind; by choice we stray 696Please respect copyright.PENANAdqykSM4AJS
Thro' ev'ry dark and ev'ry devious way. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAyxhA87JwFN
I, who so bold and dauntless, just before, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAARoyF4DF1m
The Grecian darts and shock of lances bore, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtlrDU5df4F
At ev'ry shadow now am seiz'd with fear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwrpG5ECdhm
Not for myself, but for the charge I bear; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAaDl4fqCRzi
Till, near the ruin'd gate arriv'd at last, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAp42vM6DcBk
Secure, and deeming all the danger past, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwYKOjfA4Fb
A frightful noise of trampling feet we hear. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAbdblORZSOL
My father, looking thro' the shades, with fear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANArD3EElwJyN
Cried out: 'Haste, haste, my son, the foes are nigh; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAdVFEz9YueT
Their swords and shining armor I descry.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgaKvVjCMWW
Some hostile god, for some unknown offense, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmMGm4AxTpS
Had sure bereft my mind of better sense; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjG58yVHuom
For, while thro' winding ways I took my flight, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAl06p6CSAUu
And sought the shelter of the gloomy night, 696Please respect copyright.PENANACS91TaUE6z
Alas! I lost Creusa: hard to tell 696Please respect copyright.PENANABxQGCxg7I3
If by her fatal destiny she fell, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA1fi5Tve9aV
Or weary sate, or wander'd with affright; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAkLOT7mqC8L
But she was lost for ever to my sight. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAxDCE3TYYp3
I knew not, or reflected, till I meet 696Please respect copyright.PENANAzRt83YT2vn
My friends, at Ceres' now deserted seat. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAK0JoTstECa
We met: not one was wanting; only she 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvOHNjU1jDx
Deceiv'd her friends, her son, and wretched me. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9IPpGbkYip
"What mad expressions did my tongue refuse! 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmZHn3gdMWx
Whom did I not, of gods or men, accuse! 696Please respect copyright.PENANA6dTHGBQIsc
This was the fatal blow, that pain'd me more 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZB6YIPHENF
Than all I felt from ruin'd Troy before. 696Please respect copyright.PENANApZ6ZSlzVo8
Stung with my loss, and raving with despair, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAcNp6893o6K
Abandoning my now forgotten care, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAlQdHRZFY8U
Of counsel, comfort, and of hope bereft, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEDo8qyCKkQ
My sire, my son, my country gods I left. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnHqAVcoRcC
In shining armor once again I sheathe 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q5OIIrYrE
My limbs, not feeling wounds, nor fearing death. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGVR5dO6uFn
Then headlong to the burning walls I run, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA2YOOjLY3ZK
And seek the danger I was forc'd to shun. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7nc94t4bwQ
I tread my former tracks; thro' night explore 696Please respect copyright.PENANAa6Z8OruwYr
Each passage, ev'ry street I cross'd before. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAC5Spa5meB2
All things were full of horror and affright, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAGfPJ4lzVKL
And dreadful ev'n the silence of the night. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA9n83SJa0D2
Then to my father's house I make repair, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAoCXooCYRpX
With some small glimpse of hope to find her there. 696Please respect copyright.PENANACiM4Pe4sQF
Instead of her, the cruel Greeks I met; 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3IzfPfPSvo
The house was fill'd with foes, with flames beset. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwrgiR5ScUO
Driv'n on the wings of winds, whole sheets of fire, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAP4vcHV3CKg
Thro' air transported, to the roofs aspire. 696Please respect copyright.PENANACuYB6sjwFd
From thence to Priam's palace I resort, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAScGAy6OJZy
And search the citadel and desart court. 696Please respect copyright.PENANALHLOQGcCAQ
Then, unobserv'd, I pass by Juno's church: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPc8PAFLccs
A guard of Grecians had possess'd the porch; 696Please respect copyright.PENANABRve1YJNkD
There Phoenix and Ulysses watch prey, 696Please respect copyright.PENANABhBzfvDY5L
And thither all the wealth of Troy convey: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAt5jKGhD3Lf
The spoils which they from ransack'd houses brought, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAZBOfNnhRi5
And golden bowls from burning altars caught, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAEh5vHpmTcF
The tables of the gods, the purple vests, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAv7sjKqDuC4
The people's treasure, and the pomp of priests. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA8brkDore7n
A rank of wretched youths, with pinion'd hands, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPinVBYmSlH
And captive matrons, in long order stands. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAvm6KaMeuFx
Then, with ungovern'd madness, I proclaim, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHRnCZW0hle
Thro' all the silent street, Creusa's name: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAj23DUXV8yA
Creusa still I call; at length she hears, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q1T3OtGfB
And sudden thro' the shades of night appears- 696Please respect copyright.PENANA4fyWUEbL1r
Appears, no more Creusa, nor my wife, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA58YFPl3pEO
But a pale specter, larger than the life. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAtDDCAvY5j0
Aghast, astonish'd, and struck dumb with fear, 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnblzcLL2CK
I stood; like bristles rose my stiffen'd hair. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAfWmY3NUzn0
Then thus the ghost began to soothe my grief 696Please respect copyright.PENANAHukDXPWlPl
'Nor tears, nor cries, can give the dead relief. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAk29LffTkVl

Th' imperious looks of some proud Grecian dame; 696Please respect copyright.PENANASOmQ6fQ8f4
Or, stooping to the victor's lust, disgrace 696Please respect copyright.PENANA883s5ileFt
My goddess mother, or my royal race. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAwXaX50YckX
And now, farewell! The parent of the gods 696Please respect copyright.PENANAuCpbSSUdsI
Restrains my fleeting soul in her abodes: 696Please respect copyright.PENANAnjgNXprqvb
I trust our common issue to your care.' 696Please respect copyright.PENANAeDhfxHmiNK
She said, and gliding pass'd unseen in air. 696Please respect copyright.PENANADR1PguEvMp
I strove to speak: but horror tied my tongue; 696Please respect copyright.PENANAmW0PNJiRFa
And thrice about her neck my arms I flung, 696Please respect copyright.PENANABw7h9kcp8h
And, thrice deceiv'd, on vain embraces hung. 696Please respect copyright.PENANACaCKCI4iaF
Light as an empty dream at break of day, 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7pLgSg1K4o
Or as a blast of wind, she rush'd away. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAgz94RlJjkw
