All were attentive to the godlike man, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwSzq2fEMG3
When from his lofty couch he thus began: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQl3S4PMIG5
"Great queen, what you command me to relate 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbdxbIdUm1z
Renews the sad remembrance of our fate: 705Please respect copyright.PENANASzZfJV9reO
An empire from its old foundations rent, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAn7N0p5MG2R
And ev'ry woe the Trojans underwent; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtu16zR2FMr
A peopled city made a desart place; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYYXzHi3g9L
All that I saw, and part of which I was: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0JxLm3KnYt
Not ev'n the hardest of our foes could hear, 705Please respect copyright.PENANApiP5CyMZsD
Nor stern Ulysses tell without a tear. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfchOTKSjwf
And now the latter watch of wasting night, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkfuZ1MxgyT
And setting stars, to kindly rest invite; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmICnlLng5j
But, since you take such int'rest in our woe, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA09GtWdXrTQ
And Troy's disastrous end desire to know, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIybEbQvzfx
I will restrain my tears, and briefly tell 705Please respect copyright.PENANATyA05HbTcS
What in our last and fatal night befell. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAA4nBRFl5NT
"By destiny compell'd, and in despair, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUmFbDoyOFb
The Greeks grew weary of the tedious war, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFis52KJZha
And by Minerva's aid a fabric rear'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFvfSja5gzd
Which like a steed of monstrous height appear'd: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtLboo2L6zw
The sides were plank'd with pine; they feign'd it made 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfbJQEEDmvO
For their return, and this the vow they paid. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAgS5RXHNOuk
Thus they pretend, but in the hollow side 705Please respect copyright.PENANALIFqNc9eZz
Selected numbers of their soldiers hide: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoJRy3RKzXa
With inward arms the dire machine they load, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3s8OEDJA35
And iron bowels stuff the dark abode. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPf2PWYJ22e
In sight of Troy lies Tenedos, an isle 705Please respect copyright.PENANAG0DVmTEaag
(While Fortune did on Priam's empire smile) 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6jq4jwbx7E
Renown'd for wealth; but, since, a faithless bay, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQLXfZbIiqj
Where ships expos'd to wind and weather lay. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoEcAcsLAbb
There was their fleet conceal'd. We thought, for Greece 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnAPeGIRHR5
Their sails were hoisted, and our fears release. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPfXfX5NNx5
The Trojans, coop'd within their walls so long, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAceb5OOFzST
Unbar their gates, and issue in a throng, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZRqK4Nl0Y
Like swarming bees, and with delight survey 705Please respect copyright.PENANApBtDZcFcXO
The camp deserted, where the Grecians lay: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAK9fc3R3Ibf
The quarters of the sev'ral chiefs they show'd; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1MoXnvXUwI
Here Phoenix, here Achilles, made abode; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqVFPm1Y45n
Here join'd the battles; there the navy rode. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyN6VXpkobB
Part on the pile their wond'ring eyes employ: 705Please respect copyright.PENANANlEGiK2913
The pile by Pallas rais'd to ruin Troy. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkSOlqDBEtn
Thymoetes first ('t is doubtful whether hir'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWJZ9Eok0a4
Or so the Trojan destiny requir'd) 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhmPrD6VXuu
Mov'd that the ramparts might be broken down, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6PJz9k90ts
To lodge the monster fabric in the town. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAlV4KFPlUqD
But Capys, and the rest of sounder mind, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAq3tB2HonA1
The fatal present to the flames designed, 705Please respect copyright.PENANALGpQs4yQTW
Or to the wat'ry deep; at least to bore 705Please respect copyright.PENANAW4TJgW3Fse
The hollow sides, and hidden frauds explore. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3hoWSMXK74
The giddy vulgar, as their fancies guide, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcQe4gBy8cq
With noise say nothing, and in parts divide. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOous6CWWvK
Laocoon, follow'd by a num'rous crowd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAuLy3mxYoEA
Ran from the fort, and cried, from far, aloud: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAgrtkxPcJbf
'O wretched countrymen! what fury reigns? 705Please respect copyright.PENANANHtbPDqolY
What more than madness has possess'd your brains? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAteaxuu5OkE
Think you the Grecians from your coasts are gone? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZBUPbDLUW1
And are Ulysses' arts no better known? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAowEyFRqceF
This hollow fabric either must inclose, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtXKCFOMmgr
Within its blind recess, our secret foes; 705Please respect copyright.PENANABwL3frA0HZ
Or 't is an engine rais'd above the town, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhodjHrynzt
T' o'erlook the walls, and then to batter down. 705Please respect copyright.PENANARYuZXraaXG
Somewhat is sure design'd, by fraud or force: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUuxCE5IcLF
Trust not their presents, nor admit the horse.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtAheO7AIAo
Thus having said, against the steed he threw 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtAKvVd9pmc
His forceful spear, which, hissing as flew, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAB1STZTul9x
Pierc'd thro' the yielding planks of jointed wood, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0tUTlGfs30
And trembling in the hollow belly stood. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8FYO0Ft19H
The sides, transpierc'd, return a rattling sound, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyHg1bSclD4
And groans of Greeks inclos'd come issuing thro' the wound 705Please respect copyright.PENANALONVg8phvt
And, had not Heav'n the fall of Troy design'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXnlrby1I0O
Or had not men been fated to be blind, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvFO4GIrCFV
Enough was said and done t'inspire a better mind. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYnwr2lIdGS
Then had our lances pierc'd the treach'rous wood, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJRfYFos0Jt
And Ilian tow'rs and Priam's empire stood. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAamgBW54VDY
Meantime, with shouts, the Trojan shepherds bring 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGPJQjlfULk
A captive Greek, in bands, before the king; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKuKQa8Yks4
Taken to take; who made himself their prey, 705Please respect copyright.PENANABwNzOqq7v8
T' impose on their belief, and Troy betray; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4MUP2KUpMD
Fix'd on his aim, and obstinately bent 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKC63GhYm9i
To die undaunted, or to circumvent. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAaHUN7mpYCi
About the captive, tides of Trojans flow; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHGso6zHCBv
All press to see, and some insult the foe. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFifAgpe7yN
Now hear how well the Greeks their wiles disguis'd; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAlIy4qZmZIE
Behold a nation in a man compris'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdp4pJ5rmZh
Trembling the miscreant stood, unarm'd and bound; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIUKFbeMg5l
He star'd, and roll'd his haggard eyes around, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA00ON8Ivk3d
Then said: 'Alas! what earth remains, what sea 705Please respect copyright.PENANA60MBbV4ZHk
Is open to receive unhappy me? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAAUd0B5nIAy
What fate a wretched fugitive attends, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXDwQS2ZzEb
Scorn'd by my foes, abandon'd by my friends?' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzWbjxU6Hyw
He said, and sigh'd, and cast a rueful eye: 705Please respect copyright.PENANARPVMSAsTqs
Our pity kindles, and our passions die. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAV0uY22whj7
We cheer youth to make his own defense, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzAzRw29LRZ
And freely tell us what he was, and whence: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUr8nneIS7t
What news he could impart, we long to know, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGPPPGKZaHV
And what to credit from a captive foe. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtO9lIL1X06
"His fear at length dismiss'd, he said: 'Whate'er 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6PRIoI62b1
My fate ordains, my words shall be sincere: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAddd0goD6tJ
I neither can nor dare my birth disclaim; 705Please respect copyright.PENANANeaPgPSacZ
Greece is my country, Sinon is my name. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAg7PGBYpqSr
Tho' plung'd by Fortune's pow'r in misery, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwCyLjZQZSi
'T is not in Fortune's pow'r to make me lie. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGIAC13O3kf
If any chance has hither brought the name 705Please respect copyright.PENANAToR3wki7QX
Of Palamedes, not unknown to fame, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHHRkpDTH1F
Who suffer'd from the malice of the times, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJXxWGot6Ol
Accus'd and sentenc'd for pretended crimes, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAApEJfp5Pdt
Because these fatal wars he would prevent; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8sR33q07dr
Whose death the wretched Greeks too late lament- 705Please respect copyright.PENANAs9FE6x108v
Me, then a boy, my father, poor and bare 705Please respect copyright.PENANADtxzfyF8KD
Of other means, committed to his care, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhcnSlScRRY
His kinsman and companion in the war. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAegHDTqUcDd
While Fortune favor'd, while his arms support 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJHmJteytZc
The cause, and rul'd the counsels, of the court, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5ltykJu1p4
I made some figure there; nor was my name 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9pR1feEYku
Obscure, nor I without my share of fame. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEyie9GZO2H
But when Ulysses, with fallacious arts, 705Please respect copyright.PENANARIDsYAmZBg
Had made impression in the people's hearts, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAP1w0Ch8Od1
And forg'd a treason in my patron's name 705Please respect copyright.PENANAx2TkRzo7BV
(I speak of things too far divulg'd by fame), 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYk5fKfHeav
My kinsman fell. Then I, without support, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmBGKwy7wEj
In private mourn'd his loss, and left the court. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA83AVGtG5kO
Mad as I was, I could not bear his fate 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcFewY55mZM
With silent grief, but loudly blam'd the state, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA650MfzQ4GP
And curs'd the direful author of my woes. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJu1JXbG1Vo
'T was told again; and hence my ruin rose. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnqquSAa7iD
I threaten'd, if indulgent Heav'n once more 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKIjoqsFVUS
Would land me safely on my native shore, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAE4iLOkKKN5
His death with double vengeance to restore. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAS3LOpjWXCq
This mov'd the murderer's hate; and soon ensued 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdtMESg0XpQ
Th' effects of malice from a man so proud. 705Please respect copyright.PENANABSAfdlP3qa
Ambiguous rumors thro' the camp he spread, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4IA8MQdG5s
And sought, by treason, my devoted head; 705Please respect copyright.PENANASJaLUSJhxN
New crimes invented; left unturn'd no stone, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnJfJuQfIGi
To make my guilt appear, and hide his own; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5ztvZEhbJz
Till Calchas was by force and threat'ning wrought- 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtklozlX4lH
But why- why dwell I on that anxious thought? 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4ibxBaCtGB
If on my nation just revenge you seek, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5O1wjSV1CH
And 't is t' appear a foe, t' appear a Greek; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdSY3JgXOeF
Already you my name and country know; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5LgCN9sUha
Assuage your thirst of blood, and strike the blow: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYCGa3XOq5L
My death will both the kingly brothers please, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKTDS9APSAw
And set insatiate Ithacus at ease.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbEhvGmev7Y
This fair unfinish'd tale, these broken starts, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmiGCi3HCqt
Rais'd expectations in our longing hearts: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7FW7f8SNRw
Unknowing as we were in Grecian arts. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAeyCe65qYJh
His former trembling once again renew'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJFEVM2JJvZ
With acted fear, the villain thus pursued: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFHWzaIEran
"'Long had the Grecians (tir'd with fruitless care, 705Please respect copyright.PENANApFwUywgnU6
And wearied with an unsuccessful war) 705Please respect copyright.PENANAb0KhkvCtha
Resolv'd to raise the siege, and leave the town; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJOGbR9Am0Z
And, had the gods permitted, they had gone; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1Kac1NI4Q9
But oft the wintry seas and southern winds 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsiwYZ359hY
Withstood their passage home, and chang'd their minds. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAO4PnICUBmX
Portents and prodigies their souls amaz'd; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA20sq6jp9Sp
But most, when this stupendous pile was rais'd: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJojAkSh9S0
Then flaming meteors, hung in air, were seen, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdYGAQdq2P3
And thunders rattled thro' a sky serene. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMbx9iVdZcX
Dismay'd, and fearful of some dire event, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwBnYLw3rIR
Eurypylus t' enquire their fate was sent. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA69PPAzPILm
He from the gods this dreadful answer brought: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8BWRy2CSEH
"O Grecians, when the Trojan shores you sought, 705Please respect copyright.PENANABvPxuatlTN
Your passage with a virgin's blood was bought: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQ97zZQBvkB
So must your safe return be bought again, 705Please respect copyright.PENANADyouxPukdX
And Grecian blood once more atone the main." 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwyJKqQegg1
The spreading rumor round the people ran; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7N8ybJgNym
All fear'd, and each believ'd himself the man. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0VSJnRQX7a
Ulysses took th' advantage of their fright; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAF2GOZzZ8JX
Call'd Calchas, and produc'd in open sight: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvw2yddPdZL
Then bade him name the wretch, ordain'd by fate 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhIqXZL2G5v
The public victim, to redeem the state. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZc20suMdUa
Already some presag'd the dire event, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAL2nu65R6Ps
And saw what sacrifice Ulysses meant. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAg8nLahofZa
For twice five days the good old seer withstood 705Please respect copyright.PENANArfEfBfNFzd
Th' intended treason, and was dumb to blood, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxsOJ0t3dvi
Till, tir'd, with endless clamors and pursuit 705Please respect copyright.PENANASJb7prQ7pp
Of Ithacus, he stood no longer mute; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZh6IBy5889
But, as it was agreed, pronounc'd that I 705Please respect copyright.PENANANmwrZTHCf7
Was destin'd by the wrathful gods to die. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAjVI3OB3ddW
All prais'd the sentence, pleas'd the storm should fall 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmTdc7kdSt3
On one alone, whose fury threaten'd all. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4wosF2Tdi
The dismal day was come; the priests prepare 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZWDfHKM3Dl
Their leaven'd cakes, and fillets for my hair. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAigYtu8fLt6
I follow'd nature's laws, and must avow 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIsPgnwOCDH
I broke my bonds and fled the fatal blow. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAT4Gmni1xlm
Hid in a weedy lake all night I lay, 705Please respect copyright.PENANABFzx8IRQVR
Secure of safety when they sail'd away. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhbcwe2ZInD
But now what further hopes for me remain, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPNE7NZSdmx
To see my friends, or native soil, again; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJkEOFP53jc
My tender infants, or my careful sire, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHfL8LQ6ChY
Whom they returning will to death require; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAVR99Zjq71H
Will perpetrate on them their first design, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAiH9h3pNAlN
And take the forfeit of their heads for mine? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAV06Z57DsoS
Which, O! if pity mortal minds can move, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQUWA1KvfP0
If there be faith below, or gods above, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJwYBfhXF7M
If innocence and truth can claim desert, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtfe6sXD18O
Ye Trojans, from an injur'd wretch avert.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAaXVdOtG9Ry
"False tears true pity move; the king commands 705Please respect copyright.PENANAgtMdhzxCB0
To loose his fetters, and unbind his hands: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAp7XD7OmLCp
Then adds these friendly words: 'Dismiss thy fears; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6QifXTPNVk
Forget the Greeks; be mine as thou wert theirs. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcArRiRI5hs
But truly tell, was it for force or guile, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAq3sTMEAQnK
Or some religious end, you rais'd the pile?' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIgiJwhZAhY
Thus said the king. He, full of fraudful arts, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvdFxOOoHNX
This well-invented tale for truth imparts: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAum5lUh8bVT
'Ye lamps of heav'n!' he said, and lifted high 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdwvm5IJtjl
His hands now free, 'thou venerable sky! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfPYVdCdH5m
Inviolable pow'rs, ador'd with dread! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAk3P7klAGla
Ye fatal fillets, that once bound this head! 705Please respect copyright.PENANA05fjcsIcRu
Ye sacred altars, from whose flames I fled! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQx5HBUwawu
Be all of you adjur'd; and grant I may, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAt0bnXHIcwB
Without a crime, th' ungrateful Greeks betray, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIcaU8ozrUJ
Reveal the secrets of the guilty state, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAW5SjxysKg1
And justly punish whom I justly hate! 705Please respect copyright.PENANA891V3jv2LY
But you, O king, preserve the faith you gave, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhPHroDGjrM
If I, to save myself, your empire save. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWbBXOvuLmA
The Grecian hopes, and all th' attempts they made, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbQaLkhaLy2
Were only founded on Minerva's aid. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5WLUcJaBC2
But from the time when impious Diomede, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHejTQpyLad
And false Ulysses, that inventive head, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6GD1CAtakL
Her fatal image from the temple drew, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAj6rQAu5NYM
The sleeping guardians of the castle slew, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAVf49fG3uy3
Her virgin statue with their bloody hands 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfl3RqR3Er2
Polluted, and profan'd her holy bands; 705Please respect copyright.PENANASX9B3ATHwd
From thence the tide of fortune left their shore, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhtWEsheC5u
And ebb'd much faster than it flow'd before: 705Please respect copyright.PENANASrIi25M1pS
Their courage languish'd, as their hopes decay'd; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAAlJGU68S5j
And Pallas, now averse, refus'd her aid. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkEdwQQci3g
Nor did the goddess doubtfully declare 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXB2LlkcVsq
Her alter'd mind and alienated care. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAebvJqg9Qdm
When first her fatal image touch'd the ground, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA67FfX4uvRO
She sternly cast her glaring eyes around, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAr4yBNyYTMp
That sparkled as they roll'd, and seem'd to threat: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUxkg4jiEEn
Her heav'nly limbs distill'd a briny sweat. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGa1PDvExEO
Thrice from the ground she leap'd, was seen to wield 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvvMC1toOSt
Her brandish'd lance, and shake her horrid shield. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzt3Ycc60g7
Then Calchas bade our host for flight 705Please respect copyright.PENANAAcO7wyapop
And hope no conquest from the tedious war, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhoCLY6boBv
Till first they sail'd for Greece; with pray'rs besought 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQHiKCemrVD
Her injur'd pow'r, and better omens brought. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZb6Z4gfhyJ
And now their navy plows the wat'ry main, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxupNAzAGJF
Yet soon expect it on your shores again, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHXBFfIvSHG
With Pallas pleas'd; as Calchas did ordain. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7XiQxi41bF
But first, to reconcile the blue-ey'd maid 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZQy4ExtX3Y
For her stol'n statue and her tow'r betray'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9weVoME4y3
Warn'd by the seer, to her offended name 705Please respect copyright.PENANAx3ARZEWbFc
We rais'd and dedicate this wondrous frame, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAntba06qFNv
So lofty, lest thro' your forbidden gates 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcgZkPGJLRF
It pass, and intercept our better fates: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYOoSuoGQt2
For, once admitted there, our hopes are lost; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAl4BbRqAqTe
And Troy may then a new Palladium boast; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKKhj9V6aQ1
For so religion and the gods ordain, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHxedxwdaVM
That, if you violate with hands profane 705Please respect copyright.PENANAc5yBp3RCoH
Minerva's gift, your town in flames shall burn, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAS3Kw7g6kun
(Which omen, O ye gods, on Graecia turn!) 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7PzVGhkCa7
But if it climb, with your assisting hands, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXpEwsbAPxQ
The Trojan walls, and in the city stands; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbjbcU0oxFY
Then Troy shall Argos and Mycenae burn, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAY5nGkbSQnt
And the reverse of fate on us return.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGh0b1M2K6o
"With such deceits he gain'd their easy hearts, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5dNC62WguG
Too prone to credit his perfidious arts. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5S2V7bmQqq
What Diomede, nor Thetis' greater son, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdU7gNWKg3M
A thousand ships, nor ten years' siege, had done- 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4FO4u4AcWn
False tears and fawning words the city won. 705Please respect copyright.PENANALGOSd1UI84
"A greater omen, and of worse portent, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEeH0dK6Wr1
Did our unwary minds with fear torment, 705Please respect copyright.PENANArzQZGaidc0
Concurring to produce the dire event. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8gzVeny9R
Laocoon, Neptune's priest by lot that year, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA089OT8INCx
With solemn pomp then sacrific'd a steer; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9WUbqSQOCb
When, dreadful to behold, from sea we spied 705Please respect copyright.PENANAjIqJUziELp
Two serpents, rank'd abreast, the seas divide, 705Please respect copyright.PENANASwRFc4MAcq
And smoothly sweep along the swelling tide. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEPkIUGUVim
Their flaming crests above the waves they show; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAgsACk5Yn6Z

And on the sounding shore the flying billows force. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtbF2gXeKdH
And now the strand, and now the plain they held; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAINReg1dLBg
Their ardent eyes with bloody streaks were fill'd; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA18pUEqYg4Q
Their nimble tongues they brandish'd as they came, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAN3fLpfl2YH
And lick'd their hissing jaws, that sputter'd flame. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXYaIUcEXt6
We fled amaz'd; their destin'd way they take, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAaReT1qbXsK
And to Laocoon and his children make; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAX6rd7fiHoh
And first around the tender boys they wind, 705Please respect copyright.PENANARj7KQue4ba
Then with their sharpen'd fangs their limbs and bodies grind. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAeqb60InKB8
The wretched father, running to their aid 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEFSySrvZUs
With pious haste, but vain, they next invade; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFvIsSWbDsx
Twice round his waist their winding volumes roll'd; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnZNTnYxUKM
And twice about his gasping throat they fold. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7wzJiszW13
The priest thus doubly chok'd, their crests divide, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3hZ4O0kbeR
And tow'ring o'er his head in triumph ride. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwgs9Xca9p2
With both his hands he labors at the knots; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnu8YGPXfOv
His holy fillets the blue venom blots; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1jVhPfbJH3
His roaring fills the flitting air around. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtQFODbAm7b
Thus, when an ox receives a glancing wound, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAk3uPbcCeu2
He breaks his bands, the fatal altar flies, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJu7FeHj3iS
And with loud bellowings breaks the yielding skies. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5vK5a4uh9A
Their tasks perform'd, the serpents quit their prey, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkJcllvjiXK
And to the tow'r of Pallas make their way: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGwlRsjoX2l
Couch'd at her feet, they lie protected there 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbJNeM6gYWz
By her large buckler and protended spear. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4zqC1shb8V
Amazement seizes all; the gen'ral cry 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOu6SGts61l
Proclaims Laocoon justly doom'd to die, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqOrQQeClYz
Whose hand the will of Pallas had withstood, 705Please respect copyright.PENANABM2jAVTVUi
And dared to violate the sacred wood. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tt8i11CGj
All vote t' admit the steed, that vows be paid 705Please respect copyright.PENANACfBNWYGg7K
And incense offer'd to th' offended maid. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAarJcnZdT5Q
A spacious breach is made; the town lies bare; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAm7gyUqZ8Yk
Some hoisting-levers, some the wheels prepare 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEzCx3XqNsd
And fasten to the horse's feet; the rest 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfwPw7uXY0t
With cables haul along th' unwieldly beast. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfinOy2tZeX
Each on his fellow for assistance calls; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ5MNivVkN
At length the fatal fabric mounts the walls, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoGvGz5Ju6q
Big with destruction. Boys with chaplets crown'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0zR22bCr2J
And choirs of virgins, sing and dance around. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyytxoMe7gV
Thus rais'd aloft, and then descending down, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtMjefGCc3n
It enters o'er our heads, and threats the town. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9miXw7kbpb
O sacred city, built by hands divine! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtyGTTj6C3Y
O valiant heroes of the Trojan line! 705Please respect copyright.PENANALbnYdTA3ER
Four times he struck: as oft the clashing sound 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvEmRq6dJH5
Of arms was heard, and inward groans rebound. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6sk7x705zo
Yet, mad with zeal, and blinded with our fate, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxFvAAEpk57
We haul along the horse in solemn state; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUKVbhIIFM7
Then place the dire portent within the tow'r. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQ86UzilFQ6
Cassandra cried, and curs'd th' unhappy hour; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWz8Xlk62jW
Foretold our fate; but, by the god's decree, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZuhrrSjDRt
All heard, and none believ'd the prophecy. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEUZ1Cwyk6b
With branches we the fanes adorn, and waste, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmIaI8ijE8x
In jollity, the day ordain'd to be the last. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAop4FAyViNx
Meantime the rapid heav'ns roll'd down the light, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5zD09oScYq
And on the shaded ocean rush'd the night; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAeVwCb6pZbw
Our men, secure, nor guards nor sentries held, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvt0Isw7Zlb
But easy sleep their weary limbs compell'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAu7IvCV6soj
The Grecians had embark'd their naval pow'rs 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJrDEZaHZ4f
From Tenedos, and sought our well-known shores, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3N7jDBdToP
Safe under covert of the silent night, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOcJcoF1TyP
And guided by th' imperial galley's light; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUSJxV5WgPK
When Sinon, favor'd by the partial gods, 705Please respect copyright.PENANANUsU2eX5nk
Unlock'd the horse, and op'd his dark abodes; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAiAmNcLJxg6
Restor'd to vital air our hidden foes, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAA3pys7QKSc
Who joyful from their long confinement rose. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoRzulPdSJB
Tysander bold, and Sthenelus their guide, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0p7uibLvOu
And dire Ulysses down the cable slide: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOoFuFrhfH5
Then Thoas, Athamas, and Pyrrhus haste; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2TWzBJcE2Y
Nor was the Podalirian hero last, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXVK9w2sfiQ
Nor injur'd Menelaus, nor the fam'd 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdMhkAZdNGt
Epeus, who the fatal engine fram'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5YIVlMqOR5
A nameless crowd succeed; their forces join 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYciDMXvaJp
T' invade the town, oppress'd with sleep and wine. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAysi0tOxGjR
Those few they find awake first meet their fate; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwPRllXIMZa
Then to their fellows they unbar the gate. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPNUIObULki
"'T was in the dead of night, when sleep repairs 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHZDMbupbI5
Our bodies worn with toils, our minds with cares, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yh18EQTIT
When Hector's ghost before my sight appears: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQm7AnehEkz
A bloody shroud he seem'd, and bath'd in tears; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKy8IsFTc2p
Such as he was, when, by Pelides slain, 705Please respect copyright.PENANARHw5CbFUJe
Thessalian coursers dragg'd him o'er the plain. 705Please respect copyright.PENANARDma1L7yQg
Swoln were his feet, as when the thongs were thrust 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKmOgRf5uAb
Thro' the bor'd holes; his body black with dust; 705Please respect copyright.PENANABLf0rGDF0C
Unlike that Hector who return'd from toils 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8BJYUrVe7R
Of war, triumphant, in Aeacian spoils, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMoDlgSUUoY
Or him who made the fainting Greeks retire, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5PJfgy3VLn
And launch'd against their navy Phrygian fire. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGRJzpP2SFK
His hair and beard stood stiffen'd with his gore; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWylU71ecJ1
And all the wounds he for his country bore 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmRoBr1wvNu
Now stream'd afresh, and with new purple ran. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvm0B8kHSrc
I wept to see the visionary man, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZca3ZioJAk
And, while my trance continued, thus began: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdR1ULNKO2q
'O light of Trojans, and support of Troy, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAl1Jl7IEVF2
Thy father's champion, and thy country's joy! 705Please respect copyright.PENANArKLAkPhQHL
O, long expected by thy friends! from whence 705Please respect copyright.PENANANrrMYRFSeW
Art thou so late return'd for our defense? 705Please respect copyright.PENANArmrmpuPfu9
Do we behold thee, wearied as we are 705Please respect copyright.PENANAS13rRCFAYJ
With length of labors, and with toils of war? 705Please respect copyright.PENANADDWQ60FQAQ
After so many fun'rals of thy own 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyqDPpt7UpZ
Art thou restor'd to thy declining town? 705Please respect copyright.PENANASlvJvpSqj4
But say, what wounds are these? What new disgrace 705Please respect copyright.PENANAuvSnsYkBNg
Deforms the manly features of thy face?' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFmnFoRUKie
"To this the specter no reply did frame, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkZHAz2hE77
But answer'd to the cause for which he came, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcbs7Rvzihl
And, groaning from the bottom of his breast, 705Please respect copyright.PENANALOrV1hJ88r
This warning in these mournful words express'd: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAADttrFvpHx
'O goddess-born! escape, by timely flight, 705Please respect copyright.PENANABjKk3lCzU7
The flames and horrors of this fatal night. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwmfgBFyJy2
The foes already have possess'd the wall; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAp9eHn7RAJG
Troy nods from high, and totters to her fall. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdf41HwEOsz
Enough is paid to Priam's royal name, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7ORUJq2LiN
More than enough to duty and to fame. 705Please respect copyright.PENANATnHWioITY2
If by a mortal hand my father's throne 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwYAOAmYv1p
Could be defended, 't was by mine alone. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyoWGPTLOoz
Now Troy to thee commends her future state, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGlkPrwGv6P
And gives her gods companions of thy fate: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZCGNlRk2Oa
From their assistance walls expect, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAttl8l3id4I
Which, wand'ring long, at last thou shalt erect.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAl1QPNvfIDU
He said, and brought me, from their blest abodes, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqfLfvba8Z7
The venerable statues of the gods, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqIxunCRJ6c
With ancient Vesta from the sacred choir, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMXkC2hcgjo
The wreaths and relics of th' immortal fire. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMbU8zvV3IQ
"Now peals of shouts come thund'ring from afar, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAVVfbSrUwQ5
Cries, threats, and loud laments, and mingled war: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAplV0czrajd
The noise approaches, tho' our palace stood 705Please respect copyright.PENANARS2qlhc0fh
Aloof from streets, encompass'd with a wood. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAuNcYgbd5zo
Louder, and yet more loud, I hear th' alarms 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhLgqBBfkqV
Of human cries distinct, and clashing arms. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsZBWTKtC9k
Fear broke my slumbers; I no longer stay, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3tHFaIqQ6N
But mount the terrace, thence the town survey, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsL8H7eR9s3
And hearken what the frightful sounds convey. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvAvOTSFOK9
Thus, when a flood of fire by wind is borne, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAImThsRAgXL
Crackling it rolls, and mows the standing corn; 705Please respect copyright.PENANABSBMR5NU4N
Or deluges, descending on the plains, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAobzbfInQ7o
Sweep o'er the yellow year, destroy the pains 705Please respect copyright.PENANASx0tGooxRG
Of lab'ring oxen and the peasant's gains; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOdoRIoAtNz
Unroot the forest oaks, and bear away 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvWTC5Mpv0r
Flocks, folds, and trees, and undistinguish'd prey: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZwFc2bj292
The shepherd climbs the cliff, and sees from far 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2Br0srF4wC
The wasteful ravage of the wat'ry war. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPusXITAilg
Then Hector's faith was manifestly clear'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxqMePM1TPS
And Grecian frauds in open light appear'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5N5UV9DfKo
The palace of Deiphobus ascends 705Please respect copyright.PENANAG3w53l6LM3
In smoky flames, and catches on his friends. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEy4HYk1d2v
Ucalegon burns next: the seas are bright 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0JWzPZqCmJ
With splendor not their own, and shine with Trojan light. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtR83I8K7q0
New clamors and new clangors now arise, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPWHqumocnb
The sound of trumpets mix'd with fighting cries. 705Please respect copyright.PENANABc75xgeavC
With frenzy seiz'd, I run to meet th' alarms, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHduzeHcMcP
Resolv'd on death, resolv'd to die in arms, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJAFuoTk8mC
But first to gather friends, with them t' oppose 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQ50M095G41
(If fortune favor'd) and repel the foes; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOl7KB7AMgp
Spurr'd by my courage, by my country fir'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAjlPXoO6XAC
With sense of honor and revenge inspir'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANArmnFdfwcnv
"Pantheus, Apollo's priest, a sacred name, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzCid65rFM7
Had scap'd the Grecian swords, and pass'd the flame: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnZEd1DMFic
With relics loaden. to my doors he fled, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAekZa6jD4HY
And by the hand his tender grandson led. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAV39pAirN0R
'What hope, O Pantheus? whither can we run? 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9IiWzxfcyo
Where make a stand? and what may yet be done?' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIC3VGQPdTC
Scarce had I said, when Pantheus, with a groan: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ7MR1kRyi
'Troy is no more, and Ilium was a town! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqoDXHcTczF
The fatal day, th' appointed hour, is come, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAf39EIlYfVz
When wrathful Jove's irrevocable doom 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ54hW1Mp2
Transfers the Trojan state to Grecian hands. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAV7ytb7wSzq
The fire consumes the town, the foe commands; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFMZkURL5NG
And armed hosts, an unexpected force, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnhzMrAUKZU
Break from the bowels of the fatal horse. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAR9OmILQd73
Within the gates, proud Sinon throws about 705Please respect copyright.PENANABvhfmotORJ
The flames; and foes for entrance press without, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAp34k9pgmNK
With thousand others, whom I fear to name, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbmRVwAd0iU
More than from Argos or Mycenae came. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAuLCRjjwQZr
To sev'ral posts their parties they divide; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWOq3HUSuyu
Some block the narrow streets, some scour the wide: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhHIMnC7J1p
The bold they kill, th' unwary they surprise; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAk54z2ds85S
Who fights finds death, and death finds him who flies. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJO9IFxMKnp
The warders of the gate but scarce maintain 705Please respect copyright.PENANAv2i1TozwB3
Th' unequal combat, and resist in vain.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcGpTHaVHp1
"I heard; and Heav'n, that well-born souls inspires, 705Please respect copyright.PENANALHp4I2zsJM
Prompts me thro' lifted swords and rising fires 705Please respect copyright.PENANAaMdueDMlyK
To run where clashing arms and clamor calls, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdNccYYU5Pw
And rush undaunted to defend the walls. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAK5iKbUtrF9
Ripheus and Iph'itus by my side engage, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAApxD9X3Bsc
For valor one renown'd, and one for age. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJFYclkqUQc
Dymas and Hypanis by moonlight knew 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhRUzlLLyg7
My motions and my mien, and to my party drew; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYXWfK95OqA
With young Coroebus, who by love was led 705Please respect copyright.PENANAl3IWXOieTi
To win renown and fair Cassandra's bed, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAugi9nFDC2a
And lately brought his troops to Priam's aid, 705Please respect copyright.PENANALoxMKzH5B8
Forewarn'd in vain by the prophetic maid. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkN1pw3Yzif
Whom when I saw resolv'd in arms to fall, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAz6PgYzniDp
And that one spirit animated all: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUbRK0ipfMJ
'Brave souls!' said I,- 'but brave, alas! in vain- 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXk9CA3iIxs
Come, finish what our cruel fates ordain. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqW6E6fXHSh
You see the desp'rate state of our affairs, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYhMrseqMSl
And heav'n's protecting pow'rs are deaf to pray'rs. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAaaNvL5eBA2
The passive gods behold the Greeks defile 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmaspDJtAP0
Their temples, and abandon to the spoil 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnTA9cF7fzB
Their own abodes: we, feeble few, conspire 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhF3RMnzZ11
To save a sinking town, involv'd in fire. 705Please respect copyright.PENANArrXlXAOsyq
Then let us fall, but fall amidst our foes: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mhqnsh2YC
Despair of life the means of living shows.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4nuw4uIt4z
So bold a speech incourag'd their desire 705Please respect copyright.PENANADPS4hbMLIX
Of death, and added fuel to their fire. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAjCAJRgGwFN
"As hungry wolves, with raging appetite, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAAyBynfn3yP
Scour thro' the fields, nor fear the stormy night- 705Please respect copyright.PENANAL9f6XqYRDM
Their whelps at home expect the promis'd food, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAY6f0kGU30e
And long to temper their dry chaps in blood- 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqKaw68miBA
So rush'd we forth at once; resolv'd to die, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhiaN2DcPpZ
Resolv'd, in death, the last extremes to try. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7rT42QQK3H
We leave the narrow lanes behind, and dare 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3FAAuBURfy
Th' unequal combat in the public square: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAgDZPieCqxW
Night was our friend; our leader was despair. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1gPNRoU4W4
What tongue can tell the slaughter of that night? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoL6UhV3XCv
What eyes can weep the sorrows and affright? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKC7L0e4Vkn
An ancient and imperial city falls: 705Please respect copyright.PENANASnl237LPRZ
The streets are fill'd with frequent funerals; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAz36npMpKse
Houses and holy temples float in blood, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOKPHTQvKgK
And hostile nations make a common flood. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkpJ4NEksRV
Not only Trojans fall; but, in their turn, 705Please respect copyright.PENANASpGrZaOshT
The vanquish'd triumph, and the victors mourn. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9VjjZ0NM5
Ours take new courage from despair and night: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xp6XOtVaP
Confus'd the fortune is, confus'd the fight. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0pn2MB0Kie
All parts resound with tumults, plaints, and fears; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOvtOJwmnnF
And grisly Death in sundry shapes appears. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGVywcVV4IU
Androgeos fell among us, with his band, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAU0UoPYDgNC
Who thought us Grecians newly come to land. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOiJ7JBtezx
'From whence,' said he, 'my friends, this long delay? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtYcP5fUWI0
You loiter, while the spoils are borne away: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqpf00stnlU
Our ships are laden with the Trojan store; 705Please respect copyright.PENANARApk9jvcUs
And you, like truants, come too late ashore.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPGby4H4PEH
He said, but soon corrected his mistake, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAjTMIhViCA0
Found, by the doubtful answers which we make: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAg4w0nZOTjY
Amaz'd, he would have shunn'd th' unequal fight; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4wTo48ss5u
But we, more num'rous, intercept his flight. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAF5zvHUCP0u
As when some peasant, in a bushy brake, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA63hipsSsHH
Has with unwary footing press'd a snake; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0QdGek1Im1
He starts aside, astonish'd, when he spies 705Please respect copyright.PENANARoBMUPi7oF
His rising crest, blue neck, and rolling eyes; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAaopq2CL1Nz
So from our arms surpris'd Androgeos flies. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1T7sYZbJ9T
In vain; for him and his we compass'd round, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAjyhHEodgVp
Possess'd with fear, unknowing of the ground, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqz6vIV2Wps
And of their lives an easy conquest found. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvlbzkc5bFA
Thus Fortune on our first endeavor smil'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzeEAR6PCgX
Coroebus then, with youthful hopes beguil'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0l15gnpe7g
Swoln with success, and a daring mind, 705Please respect copyright.PENANALA715rtOZe
This new invention fatally design'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANASsuJfKRwcV
'My friends,' said he, 'since Fortune shows the way, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJl5gOM1vjS
'T is fit we should th' auspicious guide obey. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAA3vk1ruOFs
For what has she these Grecian arms bestow'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA548CIDMt1P
But their destruction, and the Trojans' good? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAAzdY20q6EV
Then change we shields, and their devices bear: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0aq6pj375i
Let fraud supply the want of force in war. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwYSkC1Fkq5
They find us arms.' This said, himself he dress'd 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYzmbzcXf9T
In dead Androgeos' spoils, his upper vest, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEgeXeXOyr1
His painted buckler, and his plumy crest. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAI3UuQ2DMOo
Thus Ripheus, Dymas, all the Trojan train, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1Nx9eTboyl
Lay down their own attire, and strip the slain. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXI4USlGYtX
Mix'd with the Greeks, we go with ill presage, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEQzXovjRCd
Flatter'd with hopes to glut our greedy rage; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmF7e5nEfvy
Unknown, assaulting whom we blindly meet, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAL3xprnV7Sr
And strew with Grecian carcasses the street. 705Please respect copyright.PENANARD9CGACagL
Thus while their straggling parties we defeat, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8QDyxZcxxv
Some to the shore and safer ships retreat; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoMFVfAmQY9
And some, oppress'd with more ignoble fear, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdcEt6K92Ru
Remount the hollow horse, and pant in secret there. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAu7CRNtSxRh
"But, ah! what use of valor can be made, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAlAvHLQZRoN
When heav'n's propitious pow'rs refuse their aid! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdQnP5PisqJ
Behold the royal prophetess, the fair 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5lP7TSszq

Whom not Minerva's shrine, nor sacred bands, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHnUDAd6zOn
In safety could protect from sacrilegious hands: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGs6x5h0qb2
On heav'n she cast her eyes, she sigh'd, she cried- 705Please respect copyright.PENANADdjW7VVZJo
'T was all she could- her tender arms were tied. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAESmPyJEHNa
So sad a sight Coroebus could not bear; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZqn6LGoaFp
But, fir'd with rage, distracted with despair, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYiGbLsiHoW
Amid the barb'rous ravishers he flew: 705Please respect copyright.PENANASvPGpdWIY5
Our leader's rash example we pursue. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAw3CyBGEgTo
But storms of stones, from the proud temple's height, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqjbfY3ph2T
Pour down, and on our batter'd helms alight: 705Please respect copyright.PENANARzR9GFjfS3
We from our friends receiv'd this fatal blow, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHQFooG85YI
Who thought us Grecians, as we seem'd in show. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbUcTHJ06Yo
They aim at the mistaken crests, from high; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0qFD33JAkt
And ours beneath the pond'rous ruin lie. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOLa8h5VUMD
Then, mov'd with anger and disdain, to see 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwNDiLNtOtX
Their troops dispers'd, the royal virgin free, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzhoT1TVOwz
The Grecians rally, and their pow'rs unite, 705Please respect copyright.PENANArYgerH6ACj
With fury charge us, and renew the fight. 705Please respect copyright.PENANANzucEoeiWR
The brother kings with Ajax join their force, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWmWF0dB5ep
And the whole squadron of Thessalian horse. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2wtke6dcg4
"Thus, when the rival winds their quarrel try, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAc6gyzb6rQ1
Contending for the kingdom of the sky, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXFzvvqvDDN
South, east, and west, on airy coursers borne; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAiHs4PFcsL2
The whirlwind gathers, and the woods are torn: 705Please respect copyright.PENANANA1ztoYr4I
Then Nereus strikes the deep; the billows rise, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAU2UneyL4vB
And, mix'd with ooze and sand, pollute the skies. 705Please respect copyright.PENANARqHZVmBP4n
The troops we squander'd first again appear 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGsbIH2ULIe
From several quarters, and enclose the rear. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAgr1638a7C8
They first observe, and to the rest betray, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAT6WsI5ImeT
Our diff'rent speech; our borrow'd arms survey. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA41f60E2idY
Oppress'd with odds, we fall; Coroebus first, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMnvSHAdGDk
At Pallas' altar, by Peneleus pierc'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvsvXYjezXx
Then Ripheus follow'd, in th' unequal fight; 705Please respect copyright.PENANApmnDKMGliF
Just of his word, observant of the right: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvdfic4m3k4
Heav'n thought not so. Dymas their fate attends, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAflzYfr5kRG
With Hypanis, mistaken by their friends. 705Please respect copyright.PENANArIoURBcE15
Nor, Pantheus, thee, thy miter, nor the bands 705Please respect copyright.PENANALchFRTlBFi
Of awful Phoebus, sav'd from impious hands. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ5iPxEXcl
Ye Trojan flames, your testimony bear, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJsWK0iWCOv
What I perform'd, and what I suffer'd there; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7OeaAU7SLY
No sword avoiding in the fatal strife, 705Please respect copyright.PENANACuDtwizdPK
Expos'd to death, and prodigal of life; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8Eb6HohaGE
Witness, ye heavens! I live not by my fault: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPBNTWaOwUB
I strove to have deserv'd the death I sought. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfAlB1nvPP1
But, when I could not fight, and would have died, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxbolCSmUyY
Borne off to distance by the growing tide, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAn0gYpGZ11s
Old Iphitus and I were hurried thence, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxRVRkNnEGc
With Pelias wounded, and without defense. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtDAoNbUxme
New clamors from th' invested palace ring: 705Please respect copyright.PENANANFdiPu949g
We run to die, or disengage the king. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfmCLSZAvSr
So hot th' assault, so high the tumult rose, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhOf3XbGBnP
While ours defend, and while the Greeks oppose 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHR9vJwHnjf
As all the Dardan and Argolic race 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdLkPZjJtTj
Had been contracted in that narrow space; 705Please respect copyright.PENANANZOpwFzRwB
Or as all Ilium else were void of fear, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnAZNJCsKKK
And tumult, war, and slaughter, only there. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5fGbUTIHdI
Their targets in a tortoise cast, the foes, 705Please respect copyright.PENANABW8A6uwvJs
Secure advancing, to the turrets rose: 705Please respect copyright.PENANARjVoUPHaUG
Some mount the scaling ladders; some, more bold, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9baF9pnj6l
Swerve upwards, and by posts and pillars hold; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAevb0StnurJ
Their left hand gripes their bucklers in th' ascent, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAe1rKpzyios
While with their right they seize the battlement. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkMHKDJSgpi
From their demolish'd tow'rs the Trojans throw 705Please respect copyright.PENANAF3Czs5irzP
Huge heaps of stones, that, falling, crush the foe; 705Please respect copyright.PENANApUk4mIFsto
And heavy beams and rafters from the sides 705Please respect copyright.PENANALX0Ex8NbaT
(Such arms their last necessity provides) 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6dt0wHsz3i
And gilded roofs, come tumbling from on high, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA632BeH84FV
The marks of state and ancient royalty. 705Please respect copyright.PENANACOoRJMCTtS
The guards below, fix'd in the pass, attend 705Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Jg1S5hYj
The charge undaunted, and the gate defend. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvULux3I2h7
Renew'd in courage with recover'd breath, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYRtnlx8yhM
A second time we ran to tempt our death, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bif7q2FSJ
To clear the palace from the foe, succeed 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYEVVfe5ACN
The weary living, and revenge the dead. 705Please respect copyright.PENANADdeBr0P9QV
"A postern door, yet unobserv'd and free, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAamVuaKA3So
Join'd by the length of a blind gallery, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAuRhxGC1E7b
To the king's closet led: a way well known 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIE84sQxCjh
To Hector's wife, while Priam held the throne, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2HexKsiNSg
Thro' which she brought Astyanax, unseen, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAk2G04Z90Fo
To cheer his grandsire and his grandsire's queen. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0STcND23cX
Thro' this we pass, and mount the tow'r, from whence 705Please respect copyright.PENANAs02gWg8e1m
With unavailing arms the Trojans make defense. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1u8A31GDvb
From this the trembling king had oft descried 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXIj8pl616w
The Grecian camp, and saw their navy ride. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdtt06lkPFQ
Beams from its lofty height with swords we hew, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxHtcERYoKf
Then, wrenching with our hands, th' assault renew; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqnWLL8uD0z
And, where the rafters on the columns meet, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdip1vsfM0C
We push them headlong with our arms and feet. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmLxr3dNbiY
The lightning flies not swifter than the fall, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7goCn7WsgL
Nor thunder louder than the ruin'd wall: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtqsCVrYc6U
Down goes the top at once; the Greeks beneath 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9z1mMX9ev2
Are piecemeal torn, or pounded into death. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5xuVJFgOE2
Yet more succeed, and more to death are sent; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAubjT8bZgKo
We cease not from above, nor they below relent. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA05jT6oizzK
Before the gate stood Pyrrhus, threat'ning loud, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPscszwhw2K
With glitt'ring arms conspicuous in the crowd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAu9P25njGww
So shines, renew'd in youth, the crested snake, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQWnTunrSGR
Who slept the winter in a thorny brake, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAe52XHzWrC3
And, casting off his slough when spring returns, 705Please respect copyright.PENANARAJmeHDbqy
Now looks aloft, and with new glory burns; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAjbX4QGUXrc
Restor'd with poisonous herbs, his ardent sides 705Please respect copyright.PENANAia2ZMmSu6e
Reflect the sun; and rais'd on spires he rides; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoBWJLRDu5S
High o'er the grass, hissing he rolls along, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxe3kiV2kYg
And brandishes by fits his forky tongue. 705Please respect copyright.PENANABcVN6Hjjc1
Proud Periphas, and fierce Automedon, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAK6ijq1frlf
His father's charioteer, together run 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmuRKB92ZX3
To force the gate; the Scyrian infantry 705Please respect copyright.PENANAU7QanZbJ1z
Rush on in crowds, and the barr'd passage free. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwwLyJOgR2j
Ent'ring the court, with shouts the skies they rend; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4MfF14vKrH
And flaming firebrands to the roofs ascend. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAh8uu1fQL6W
Himself, among the foremost, deals his blows, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcISwQp59V5
And with his ax repeated strokes bestows 705Please respect copyright.PENANACjGicsyA0k
On the strong doors; then all their shoulders ply, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAR3kJaNDsTp
Till from the posts the brazen hinges fly. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFxxQPC1vDc
He hews apace; the double bars at length 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYIOlUSrK2X
Yield to his ax and unresisted strength. 705Please respect copyright.PENANApDu1q9OTQ2
A mighty breach is made: the rooms conceal'd 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4grf1lFuei
Appear, and all the palace is reveal'd; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUw9Dy6sdio
The halls of audience, and of public state, 705Please respect copyright.PENANARJJeN9N8Bo
And where the lonely queen in secret sate. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAB7w4uhDsoo
Arm'd soldiers now by trembling maids are seen, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAATTJDBJG4X
With not a door, and scarce a space, between. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFTVRSiSI04
The house is fill'd with loud laments and cries, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAaKRRGCzz9T
And shrieks of women rend the vaulted skies; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkszQOFIreU
The fearful matrons run from place to place, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA599aUZfAaI
And kiss the thresholds, and the posts embrace. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtu7UMBZBcn
The fatal work inhuman Pyrrhus plies, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkn4gJROZkA
And all his father sparkles in his eyes; 705Please respect copyright.PENANANVslqofzxF
Nor bars, nor fighting guards, his force sustain: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAS8NhWBZNrb
The bars are broken, and the guards are slain. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYepDHFXLFX
In rush the Greeks, and all the apartments fill; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvqFBVuRioE
Those few defendants whom they find, they kill. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUkXagDVWGE
Not with so fierce a rage the foaming flood 705Please respect copyright.PENANA50AUiulSdR
Roars, when he finds his rapid course withstood; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzgXTgghpSA
Bears down the dams with unresisted sway, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzcfy4m2UDS
And sweeps the cattle and the cots away. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoqnoSepax5
These eyes beheld him when he march'd between 705Please respect copyright.PENANAF3v9PWrT1n
The brother kings: I saw th' unhappy queen, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAm1cg2IJevX
The hundred wives, and where old Priam stood, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWOWTdfbncr
To stain his hallow'd altar with his brood. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3ldr6L8pS6
The fifty nuptial beds (such hopes had he, 705Please respect copyright.PENANABLrkQ0CgxY
So large a promise, of a progeny), 705Please respect copyright.PENANA41mVhNlxen
The posts, of plated gold, and hung with spoils, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAx1FDDBD1jD
Fell the reward of the proud victor's toils. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yks7t9jor
Where'er the raging fire had left a space, 705Please respect copyright.PENANARAnFU2W2RL
The Grecians enter and possess the place. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmU1W3Wmt0z
"Perhaps you may of Priam's fate enquire. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7i4r9Fwmzb
He, when he saw his regal town on fire, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEZlD9JGDeu
His ruin'd palace, and his ent'ring foes, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAybIDHJxxPL
On ev'ry side inevitable woes, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAu0lKhAgaZY
In arms, disus'd, invests his limbs, decay'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbjjPnt54cB
Like them, with age; a late and useless aid. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIiolZlSIiK
His feeble shoulders scarce the weight sustain; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwNTbgjxBCv
Loaded, not arm'd, he creeps along with pain, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4JJOwaw5vp
Despairing of success, ambitious to be slain! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAAcYqqDeJNR
Uncover'd but by heav'n, there stood in view 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxF1EzrIIeO
An altar; near the hearth a laurel grew, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAngCoDEJmLx
Dodder'd with age, whose boughs encompass round 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPvXfqTGrPX
The household gods, and shade the holy ground. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAd9qzbTqh6d
Here Hecuba, with all her helpless train 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUYcinxp3c8
Of dames, for shelter sought, but sought in vain. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAm8cXwxo258
Driv'n like a flock of doves along the sky, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAwkGAgPvxFP
Their images they hug, and to their altars fly. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAm93cyuhTi3
The Queen, when she beheld her trembling lord, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMA5ZGv93CB
And hanging by his side a heavy sword, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAg6deaHNY9U
'What rage,' she cried, 'has seiz'd my husband's mind? 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1YnyoRrehG
What arms are these, and to what use design'd? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAjHSpYg47Fb
These times want other aids! Were Hector here, 705Please respect copyright.PENANACF764OVioq
Ev'n Hector now in vain, like Priam, would appear. 705Please respect copyright.PENANANiMhf1TaMX
With us, one common shelter thou shalt find, 705Please respect copyright.PENANADDMalrjvhZ
Or in one common fate with us be join'd.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAV4NDLbNhTr
She said, and with a last salute embrac'd 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4N5kSWc2dR
The poor old man, and by the laurel plac'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyzS6Rw9Jy5
Behold! Polites, one of Priam's sons, 705Please respect copyright.PENANALYxQLir3UP
Pursued by Pyrrhus, there for safety runs. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ4zR22SUX
Thro' swords and foes, amaz'd and hurt, he flies 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFcZ0OoBfSp
Thro' empty courts and open galleries. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA11U9Dg2xCw
Him Pyrrhus, urging with his lance, pursues, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAirnxtGrOLS
And often reaches, and his thrusts renews. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1pqe8y9JKc
The youth, transfix'd, with lamentable cries, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAj6XzKeffYP
Expires before his wretched parent's eyes: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHDswJfNdYL
Whom gasping at his feet when Priam saw, 705Please respect copyright.PENANARPdyBF26Lx
The fear of death gave place to nature's law; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAattd3aO56H
And, shaking more with anger than with age, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Ld8SaTXC
'The gods,' said he, 'requite thy brutal rage! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvM0j0AyMfX
As sure they will, barbarian, sure they must, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA12U7hYJWkN
If there be gods in heav'n, and gods be just- 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqBEGWTTa7O
Who tak'st in wrongs an insolent delight; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIgpgqXh5ml
With a son's death t' infect a father's sight. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAooLPq9vVv8
Not he, whom thou and lying fame conspire 705Please respect copyright.PENANANztxhhZ4Gk
To call thee his- not he, thy vaunted sire, 705Please respect copyright.PENANALPH9hJCp6h
Thus us'd my wretched age: the gods he fear'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANARN77aiv34O
The laws of nature and of nations heard. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAezFmBHNVDw
He cheer'd my sorrows, and, for sums of gold, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPOx6pXtior
The bloodless carcass of my Hector sold; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfcf8P8Yv80
Pitied the woes a parent underwent, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9CNqxpXkQ9
And sent me back in safety from his tent.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Ht6MMqUu
"This said, his feeble hand a javelin threw, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9M6irnyNPJ
Which, flutt'ring, seem'd to loiter as it flew: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2itsq4tTVE
Just, and but barely, to the mark it held, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUKyCEY8aUp
And faintly tinkled on the brazen shield. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhOrYjFRvCg
"Then Pyrrhus thus: 'Go thou from me to fate, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGY2gJ3g7Od
And to my father my foul deeds relate. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcdHmgEbGiW
Now die!' With that he dragg'd the trembling sire, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAc3zdBY8Ibw
Slidd'ring thro' clotter'd blood and holy mire, 705Please respect copyright.PENANANyeqz09SCE
(The mingled paste his murder'd son had made,) 705Please respect copyright.PENANAImvoJf7VBx
Haul'd from beneath the violated shade, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfZEMh8fyqM
And on the sacred pile the royal victim laid. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvYGYwVyhWr
His right hand held his bloody falchion bare, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAspg2sFaoB2
His left he twisted in his hoary hair; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3TTPHKFCKk
Then, with a speeding thrust, his heart he found: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAd3iNn73M7n
The lukewarm blood came rushing thro' the wound, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkbKhNkMa4Q
And sanguine streams distain'd the sacred ground. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIuKnrWoHta
Thus Priam fell, and shar'd one common fate 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGA7cuJSNS8
With Troy in ashes, and his ruin'd state: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQSBPCdnWaE
He, who the scepter of all Asia sway'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAAOnawGK8Qp
Whom monarchs like domestic slaves obey'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAEhcOilGihy
On the bleak shore now lies th' abandon'd king, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOrKZLYo5Wm
A headless carcass, and a nameless thing. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3CLCuwZVT7
"Then, not before, I felt my cruddled blood 705Please respect copyright.PENANAliOdjmsXpK
Congeal with fear, my hair with horror stood: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7444AUiDbo
My father's image fill'd my pious mind, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAj1TCAwWIGU
Lest equal years might equal fortune find. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHd6DJYaqrF
Again I thought on my forsaken wife, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA53jzBmvLj9
And trembled for my son's abandon'd life. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAT9dvc1eab5
I look'd about, but found myself alone, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkWg6zhfzDZ
Deserted at my need! My friends were gone. 705Please respect copyright.PENANApV2zNugWCh
Some spent with toil, some with despair oppress'd, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAthID80cbNR
Leap'd headlong from the heights; the flames consum'd the rest. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAraQ4UEgKtN
Thus, wand'ring in my way, without a guide, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyI9iDlGJ9X
The graceless Helen in the porch I spied 705Please respect copyright.PENANAhKzqavGbow
Of Vesta's temple; there she lurk'd alone; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAn8xMU7KXsa
Muffled she sate, and, what she could, unknown: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAVlXj7cEqfp
But, by the flames that cast their blaze around, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1Rw6R2st4Y
That common bane of Greece and Troy I found. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtV4FRSk9r9
For Ilium burnt, she dreads the Trojan sword; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYrogpPQ4d8
More dreads the vengeance of her injur'd lord; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4g3cnycoMv
Ev'n by those gods who refug'd her abhorr'd. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkdmdRVq4xs
Trembling with rage, the strumpet I regard, 705Please respect copyright.PENANATc6wdR6Fsu
Resolv'd to give her guilt the due reward: 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5cBWe3L5BY
'Shall she triumphant sail before the wind, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtNWOQblcZa
And leave in flames unhappy Troy behind? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAv44OUS36Pq
Shall she her kingdom and her friends review, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAI2NSO8Lj9i
In state attended with a captive crew, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJGlYN9tUX7
While unreveng'd the good old Priam falls, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAI68BtoN47b
And Grecian fires consume the Trojan walls? 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJMVk4czzx7
For this the Phrygian fields and Xanthian flood 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsw0Wp3JMTx
Were swell'd with bodies, and were drunk with blood? 705Please respect copyright.PENANA85CkwhSk1z
'T is true, a soldier can small honor gain, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAa2EEhlrVw0
And boast no conquest, from a woman slain: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAeq3JCAfEWd
Yet shall the fact not pass without applause, 705Please respect copyright.PENANADhxsXJ6rL6
Of vengeance taken in so just a cause; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHXkTfDG4Cr
The punish'd crime shall set my soul at ease, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvCVy4DcPMN
And murm'ring manes of my friends appease.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvTSNwXKz3h
Thus while I rave, a gleam of pleasing light 705Please respect copyright.PENANAN77uAw7y1t
Spread o'er the place; and, shining heav'nly bright, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKpIEOWnw0W
My mother stood reveal'd before my sight 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkWGnyInaqI
Never so radiant did her eyes appear; 705Please respect copyright.PENANADMryUjmT3M
Not her own star confess'd a light so clear: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvUgVwbxSig
Great in her charms, as when on gods above 705Please respect copyright.PENANAN0NdUFFQfZ
She looks, and breathes herself into their love. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMVagIQGzsl
She held my hand, the destin'd blow to break; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZB07pH83c7
Then from her rosy lips began to speak: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ingSMm62
'My son, from whence this madness, this neglect 705Please respect copyright.PENANAuQb09RXv9a
Of my commands, and those whom I protect? 705Please respect copyright.PENANANjz5qvL9kP
Why this unmanly rage? Recall to mind 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqkLYS597Gz
Whom you forsake, what pledges leave behind. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfIx0KRNjOu
Look if your helpless father yet survive, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxNv2rQbMWP

Around your house the greedy Grecians err; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOcVl8Krfd2
And these had perish'd in the nightly war, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsoaMjUAwEd
But for my presence and protecting care. 705Please respect copyright.PENANApH3ARLQrNd
Not Helen's face, nor Paris, was in fault; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAblC09GJBxJ
But by the gods was this destruction brought. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAk0PvOx87EI
Now cast your eyes around, while I dissolve 705Please respect copyright.PENANADgpCZWBmAO
The mists and films that mortal eyes involve, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAl2oWThpb0F
Purge from your sight the dross, and make you see 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXyd64GOdDi
The shape of each avenging deity. 705Please respect copyright.PENANALfKsnqys2t
Enlighten'd thus, my just commands fulfil, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAk4dNbFJ2Oh
Nor fear obedience to your mother's will. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZAbpmedoJK
Where yon disorder'd heap of ruin lies, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfwhH8T9KQJ
Stones rent from stones; where clouds of dust arise- 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5wbYxXfXwp
Amid that smother Neptune holds his place, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAichuhfZ4Hd
Below the wall's foundation drives his mace, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5YR5vy69IE
And heaves the building from the solid base. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZZuPveRR3l
Look where, in arms, imperial Juno stands 705Please respect copyright.PENANAE8SesKqEyi
Full in the Scaean gate, with loud commands, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGMrw6gMfal
Urging on shore the tardy Grecian bands. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbGRnMT5JwM
See! Pallas, of her snaky buckler proud, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAFpoIhHOwpA
Bestrides the tow'r, refulgent thro' the cloud: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAmLzlr8gKM2
See! Jove new courage to the foe supplies, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAtFYMu19qor
And arms against the town the partial deities. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsdUIuk7udK
Haste hence, my son; this fruitless labor end: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnnbpQyFX1q
Haste, where your trembling spouse and sire attend: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdTsQuEwJBw
Haste; and a mother's care your passage shall befriend.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzh3EdlVCTB
She said, and swiftly vanish'd from my sight, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8AJw4OnKt1
Obscure in clouds and gloomy shades of night. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZJnFDCE45
I look'd, I listen'd; dreadful sounds I hear; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXMwRrgrT8j
And the dire forms of hostile gods appear. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8rrkTXAKiu
Troy sunk in flames I saw (nor could prevent), 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKV8uXxc97L
And Ilium from its old foundations rent; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA6IhUzxLiTO
Rent like a mountain ash, which dar'd the winds, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7K7fTjr1qL
And stood the sturdy strokes of lab'ring hinds. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZNcsxApEd
About the roots the cruel ax resounds; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIZgRcc2MlR
The stumps are pierc'd with oft-repeated wounds: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJcspL3Wnpc
The war is felt on high; the nodding crown 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2t3UBGG58m
Now threats a fall, and throws the leafy honors down. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dwa13jWB0
To their united force it yields, tho' late, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0EBo2ashlQ
And mourns with mortal groans th' approaching fate: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAIoLa9uq2FD
The roots no more their upper load sustain; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdY3HsnlzXk
But down she falls, and spreads a ruin thro' the plain. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAD3N49MIi4o
"Descending thence, I scape thro' foes and fire: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQzUiahD7SZ

Refus'd the journey, resolute to die 705Please respect copyright.PENANAO86xBJJ0cr

At least the pitying foes will aid my death, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvBjWyE1dQi

The son (inhuman) in the father's view, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcceEGP4HqZ
And then the sire himself to the dire altar drew. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4LH2Y5kAPb

And cross the threshold in my passage lay, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA56pwqWGK3y
Embrac'd my knees, and, when I would have gone, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAilsa0SWeCp
Shew'd me my feeble sire and tender son: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKYlQWswC94

While thus she fills the house with clam'rous cries, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUB6Qjn2Sfu
Our hearing is diverted by our eyes: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvsX3KUzpvP
For, while I held my son, in the short space 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1INgF7xR08
Betwixt our kisses and our last embrace; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ4q5GZDay
Strange to relate, from young Iulus' head 705Please respect copyright.PENANAT6GoKY2XVK
A lambent flame arose, which gently spread 705Please respect copyright.PENANAh5Si8HhBDL
Around his brows, and on his temples fed. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0vSn4LvJqG
Amaz'd, with running water we prepare 705Please respect copyright.PENANAY9HAPIgthl
To quench the sacred fire, and slake his hair; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWRILyy1uHG
But old Anchises, vers'd in omens, rear'd 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJi0wMr2Dxu
His hands to heav'n, and this request preferr'd: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbzqb1H8gfJ

Scarce had he said, when, on our left, we hear 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUwF2741VEp
A peal of rattling thunder roll in air: 705Please respect copyright.PENANArmygcaTs2s
There shot a streaming lamp along the sky, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAINIYW4OUJA
Which on the winged lightning seem'd to fly; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ2m5HsmTT
From o'er the roof the blaze began to move, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOhqlJr6jzt
And, trailing, vanish'd in th' Idaean grove. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAa2ZxajNc5d
It swept a path in heav'n, and shone a guide, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA5NmIGVuaMd
Then in a steaming stench of sulphur died. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA62kTeOPNz1
"The good old man with suppliant hands implor'd 705Please respect copyright.PENANAZYhni9LPC1

And near our palace roll the flood of fire. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvjuhCGhg4J
'Haste, my dear father, ('t is no time to wait,) 705Please respect copyright.PENANAV0NOMmnKGC
And load my shoulders with a willing freight. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsTX0yVBbYs

Next, you, my servants, heed my strict commands: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMMDtV7IexY

To Ceres hallow'd once; a cypress nigh 705Please respect copyright.PENANAh3HXyJXBgB
Shoots up her venerable head on high, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0knRsGCbbX
By long religion kept; there bend your feet, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOD2bTbFKmX

Our country gods, the relics, and the bands, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA3fghJWDW5W
Hold you, my father, in your guiltless hands: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAMJgX5qwdyH
In me 't is impious holy things to bear, 705Please respect copyright.PENANATnFPGCWfrq

Of dire debate, and blood in battle spilt.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANAOMbKc1oaDG
Thus, ord'ring all that prudence could provide, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYKcovv9zRJ
I clothe my shoulders with a lion's hide 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnQbngbxOex
And yellow spoils; then, on my bending back, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJHGHF6MghW
The welcome load of my dear father take; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAO0NGvK4irb
While on my better hand Ascanius hung, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAXGVw875bWe
And with unequal paces tripp'd along. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPg6RfbbER3
Creusa kept behind; by choice we stray 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4u7xTKLNTn
Thro' ev'ry dark and ev'ry devious way. 705Please respect copyright.PENANApv4oZqfHGt
I, who so bold and dauntless, just before, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAuFlUhWtFEi
The Grecian darts and shock of lances bore, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAWxTKCsW2pv
At ev'ry shadow now am seiz'd with fear, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA1IbRmGBdky
Not for myself, but for the charge I bear; 705Please respect copyright.PENANA9zTQBgbiJp
Till, near the ruin'd gate arriv'd at last, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAVdSr2RerzF
Secure, and deeming all the danger past, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGzeEjAqj7Z
A frightful noise of trampling feet we hear. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAdxgJc9V0dR
My father, looking thro' the shades, with fear, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAy1U1Ira8kv
Cried out: 'Haste, haste, my son, the foes are nigh; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUG9FZpDJHo
Their swords and shining armor I descry.' 705Please respect copyright.PENANANtfNWdPzGS
Some hostile god, for some unknown offense, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvJem7YYP0P
Had sure bereft my mind of better sense; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnJyhg36ETp
For, while thro' winding ways I took my flight, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA7GFzzpYd5W
And sought the shelter of the gloomy night, 705Please respect copyright.PENANASM4Gry0itM
Alas! I lost Creusa: hard to tell 705Please respect copyright.PENANAUYmmqXJ7WX
If by her fatal destiny she fell, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAX9okx8Zl9D
Or weary sate, or wander'd with affright; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAPZI01KFoPM
But she was lost for ever to my sight. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA61i0luGpOn
I knew not, or reflected, till I meet 705Please respect copyright.PENANAt4nOySDnpC
My friends, at Ceres' now deserted seat. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAkN1DfI9roK
We met: not one was wanting; only she 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGFVu5Nvtcz
Deceiv'd her friends, her son, and wretched me. 705Please respect copyright.PENANABWgajKnqwk
"What mad expressions did my tongue refuse! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAVvvK02xztE
Whom did I not, of gods or men, accuse! 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJFOt6IkDnm
This was the fatal blow, that pain'd me more 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHQG3KQRWeY
Than all I felt from ruin'd Troy before. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2PWQAuvLSq
Stung with my loss, and raving with despair, 705Please respect copyright.PENANASa9GRKUKDD
Abandoning my now forgotten care, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAbdxsYbz1wt
Of counsel, comfort, and of hope bereft, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAg51ZdrWT1V
My sire, my son, my country gods I left. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAfcL5UuZMnQ
In shining armor once again I sheathe 705Please respect copyright.PENANAiKzlvbZ0t4
My limbs, not feeling wounds, nor fearing death. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAViuBBmpYNW
Then headlong to the burning walls I run, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsSJAcPhfHP
And seek the danger I was forc'd to shun. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvtGcPaFbGI
I tread my former tracks; thro' night explore 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHFh3EmfaHC
Each passage, ev'ry street I cross'd before. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4bmfSqw7H
All things were full of horror and affright, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAh8yqioaqgm
And dreadful ev'n the silence of the night. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAcPqP62uGhF
Then to my father's house I make repair, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYMHnbyHsfA
With some small glimpse of hope to find her there. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAg8vEjZB3O9
Instead of her, the cruel Greeks I met; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAifgY0RZrSR
The house was fill'd with foes, with flames beset. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyDKGIr2x7K
Driv'n on the wings of winds, whole sheets of fire, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAE0lSiV40eP
Thro' air transported, to the roofs aspire. 705Please respect copyright.PENANARumwlsPpKG
From thence to Priam's palace I resort, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAVvHnCDCApt
And search the citadel and desart court. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAGR59OZjTWW
Then, unobserv'd, I pass by Juno's church: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAHnD6m43ii2
A guard of Grecians had possess'd the porch; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAp0BoXEQacw
There Phoenix and Ulysses watch prey, 705Please respect copyright.PENANA4hVpAsqwni
And thither all the wealth of Troy convey: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAAoNRsiOXGA
The spoils which they from ransack'd houses brought, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAxj70NU09bw
And golden bowls from burning altars caught, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAj2L3Zvz7Lk
The tables of the gods, the purple vests, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAm0OQcKtOoF
The people's treasure, and the pomp of priests. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqkyxx6ndxU
A rank of wretched youths, with pinion'd hands, 705Please respect copyright.PENANANeGz5R2eEd
And captive matrons, in long order stands. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAKANyiNqEp1
Then, with ungovern'd madness, I proclaim, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAiit9yhYhQP
Thro' all the silent street, Creusa's name: 705Please respect copyright.PENANAv3K2oFCffN
Creusa still I call; at length she hears, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAqQrFGHq9Dw
And sudden thro' the shades of night appears- 705Please respect copyright.PENANAvxQVIAzrPI
Appears, no more Creusa, nor my wife, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsACsd4VSOQ
But a pale specter, larger than the life. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA8uIcPOiG8K
Aghast, astonish'd, and struck dumb with fear, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAYskmWkho6O
I stood; like bristles rose my stiffen'd hair. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAATpYNqD9x4
Then thus the ghost began to soothe my grief 705Please respect copyright.PENANA0OVVRTX2zh
'Nor tears, nor cries, can give the dead relief. 705Please respect copyright.PENANA2SNeKCJi9t

My goddess mother, or my royal race. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAsgECyti3uu

She said, and gliding pass'd unseen in air. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAnCkCAZsG9P
I strove to speak: but horror tied my tongue; 705Please respect copyright.PENANAJwzkJhNaEw
And thrice about her neck my arms I flung, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAK8L0E53Muy
And, thrice deceiv'd, on vain embraces hung. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAN3ZxTfSHTB
Light as an empty dream at break of day, 705Please respect copyright.PENANAyrZhH0hh4v
