Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGvM5pz539u
Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACyXz0nXtp1
Then, casting back his eyes, with dire amaze, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkr8QDDmtlP
Sees on the Punic shore the mounting blaze. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ3TwbrsoY
The cause unknown; yet his presaging mind 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPl0yVJYSNu
The fate of Dido from the fire divin'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASqsh8FmsQ2
He knew the stormy souls of womankind, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzj3M2XhXMH
What secret springs their eager passions move, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACkMpMfpzwQ
How capable of death for injur'd love. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbcUuKOqiFw
Dire auguries from hence the Trojans draw; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcsASIICOgK
Till neither fires nor shining shores they saw. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAs75vM33bwW
Now seas and skies their prospect only bound; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhfU4FBhZkw
An empty space above, a floating field around. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcTogvZIukd
But soon the heav'ns with shadows were o'erspread; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmUPUNEyAAL
A swelling cloud hung hov'ring o'er their head: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAulyjRA3Tpe
Livid it look'd, the threat'ning of a storm: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAeG5ijPeJ2Z
Then night and horror ocean's face deform. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAy92LY7gpso
The pilot, Palinurus, cried aloud: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfi1zgAPzEu
"What gusts of weather from that gath'ring cloud 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJgeY2iXNcN
My thoughts presage! Ere yet the tempest roars, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAO5eqT7fS6F
Stand to your tackle, mates, and stretch your oars; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAL4wt03ulcr
Contract your swelling sails, and luff to wind." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4uJ3NkpMXJ
The frighted crew perform the task assign'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ0dHOACPb
Then, to his fearless chief: "Not Heav'n," said he, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9wzH4aUlTR
"Tho' Jove himself should promise Italy, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmZeUGa7pIa
Can stem the torrent of this raging sea. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAL7SZ4o2a8D
Mark how the shifting winds from west arise, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3VzXLQ6yUJ
And what collected night involves the skies! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlDklwmbDmF
Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABxVaUvKvk6
Much less against the tempest force their way. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAp7hHoR2pKb
'T is fate diverts our course, and fate we must obey. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQazUJhiwO6
Not far from hence, if I observ'd aright 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOMtHFyaf6T
The southing of the stars, and polar light, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2V4xhkLm0j
Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAc6AFwQqu4m
In safety we may reach with struggling oars." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJtv6exlGci
Aeneas then replied: "Too sure I find 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmIxFaybE1S
We strive in vain against the seas and wind: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOTmitYOBaJ
Now shift your sails; what place can please me more 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6n0mBaH2dJ
Than what you promise, the Sicilian shore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAl2j0SlmV2b
Whose hallow'd earth Anchises' bones contains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2v4x4bVzfy
And where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns?" 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvsGYqX4CLO
The course resolv'd, before the western wind 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAE26XPEMt0S
They scud amain, and make the port assign'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADaJjnKkVlr
Meantime Acestes, from a lofty stand, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABTnURSiCTH
Beheld the fleet descending on the land; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALzLFg3IU9M
And, not unmindful of his ancient race, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWVf80VrZPX
Down from the cliff he ran with eager pace, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXpiJ3uhJ7x
And held the hero in a strict embrace. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfYQeXsNbRM
Of a rough Libyan bear the spoils he wore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5n7jK5V1r2
And either hand a pointed jav'lin bore. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAa6pfaLSMnq
His mother was a dame of Dardan blood; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2IKHO65FRt
His sire Crinisus, a Sicilian flood. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKn3WZ10Xjc
He welcomes his returning friends ashore 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAn2d63PFQ7G
With plenteous country cates and homely store. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA03HE3ROsdS
Now, when the following morn had chas'd away 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATMHk2QBu2D
The flying stars, and light restor'd the day, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfZEaAWetvA
Aeneas call'd the Trojan troops around, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAy4D8yge3jD
And thus bespoke them from a rising ground: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAz8f4BXSaYy
"Offspring of heav'n, divine Dardanian race! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlspa8IIqaR
The sun, revolving thro' th' ethereal space, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGmjAF9YoIH
The shining circle of the year has fill'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAl9cuhC6OLY
Since first this isle my father's ashes held: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPbis3H3025
And now the rising day renews the year; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZYElW6lrC
A day for ever sad, for ever dear. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtJQ7UJPr4Z
This would I celebrate with annual games, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6gZihADVdy
With gifts on altars pil'd, and holy flames, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApyw3uooFd7
Tho' banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAC7TWXBIpnw
Caught on the Grecian seas, or hostile lands: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxpqY4oE52E
But since this happy storm our fleet has driv'n 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAYcxYZqIHji
(Not, as I deem, without the will of Heav'n) 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAueayrOZmSK
Upon these friendly shores and flow'ry plains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0R3znLTxzZ
Which hide Anchises and his blest remains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJkkAPu84vM
Let us with joy perform his honors due, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASLqH7oKT2V
And pray for prosp'rous winds, our voyage to renew; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaiqYL81MR7
Pray, that in towns and temples of our own, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAseqezxndIA
The name of great Anchises may be known, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAonhpsJflHP
And yearly games may spread the gods' renown. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfEH39X0HmO
Our sports Acestes, of the Trojan race, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIq7Nghfwrp
With royal gifts ordain'd, is pleas'd to grace: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ9yQEZKd1
Two steers on ev'ry ship the king bestows; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHEwbSK8BQD
His gods and ours shall share your equal vows. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzH8eOQQDRN
Besides, if, nine days hence, the rosy morn 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzlJkrv3RUd
Shall with unclouded light the skies adorn, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjqnXrPQTuy
That day with solemn sports I mean to grace: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6QK5rGuWyJ
Light galleys on the seas shall run a wat'ry race; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqSUGrfTg5j
Some shall in swiftness for the goal contend, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAu1jymHBRbJ
And others try the twanging bow to bend; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxzLhcTgBZt
The strong, with iron gauntlets arm'd, shall stand 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtWUJmj5wvc
Oppos'd in combat on the yellow sand. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwg2Do8Ui1v
Let all be present at the games prepar'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABZuOUMVkjl
And joyful victors wait the just reward. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7XxFEcICtG
But now assist the rites, with garlands crown'd." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApClWTayXzH
He said, and first his brows with myrtle bound. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxzcIMfijyI
Then Helymus, by his example led, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsdnmb9JKBH
And old Acestes, each adorn'd his head; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACpB2ujrXCL
Thus young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qtl438iU9
His temples tied, and all the Trojan race. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASCKJFZRPhJ
Aeneas then advanc'd amidst the train, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWkCGCtGxME
By thousands follow'd thro' the flow'ry plain, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlyKuXnuVdG
To great Anchises' tomb; which when he found, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAo2R8aBagbu
He pour'd to Bacchus, on the hallow'd ground, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdGns36EvfG
Two bowls of sparkling wine, of milk two more, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAs5bgeat1gy
And two (from offer'd bulls) of purple gore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2rIztEnU8m
With roses then the sepulcher he strow'd 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVa98lz5MuJ
And thus his father's ghost bespoke aloud: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArwUHd4sov2
"Hail, O ye holy manes! hail again, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8iZbx2Me5z
Paternal ashes, now review'd in vain! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3fSrrI5MrV
The gods permitted not, that you, with me, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwCrjBNLKDt
Should reach the promis'd shores of Italy, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5iQ52faa0K
Or Tiber's flood, what flood soe'er it be." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAy7khpqNwu
Scarce had he finish'd, when, with speckled pride, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALl5dXDKm8Q
A serpent from the tomb began to glide; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFPOkdAGLMf
His hugy bulk on sev'n high volumes roll'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAatt8XPCCm3
Blue was his breadth of back, but streak'd with scaly gold: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvTMFIKIien
Thus riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAl4kFwnCzw7
A rolling fire along, and singe the grass. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxPLXopMlzk
More various colors thro' his body run, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0lAJ3gXMrF
Than Iris when her bow imbibes the sun. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwiOIcuOi8O
Betwixt the rising altars, and around, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwXl0YGRwdD
The sacred monster shot along the ground; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8lkZN6j4oz
With harmless play amidst the bowls he pass'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADEsBhRESIt
And with his lolling tongue assay'd the taste: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAyfgiybfzzx
Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9P8KR6O1Eq
Within the hollow tomb retir'd to rest. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmtHqPtON9w
The pious prince, surpris'd at what he view'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUDMwbMbihq
The fun'ral honors with more zeal renew'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABdkh7ITLkV
Doubtful if this place's genius were, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAeba2MPB0UF
Or guardian of his father's sepulcher. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFz2XnWJrVO
Five sheep, according to the rites, he slew; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5fw9OUabMf
As many swine, and steers of sable hue; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANJWcHgPlnX
New gen'rous wine he from the goblets pour'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAeLdEG4BmNZ
And call'd his father's ghost, from hell restor'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsDqHWCXahi
The glad attendants in long order come, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtAo9N0ms4X
Off'ring their gifts at great Anchises' tomb: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAowDYwR4LEd
Some add more oxen: some divide the spoil; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAH4Phb1lhWA
Some place the chargers on the grassy soil; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhdS4IKUt0P
Some blow the fires, and off entrails broil. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8suRbxpVEX
Now came the day desir'd. The skies were bright 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqFc8WYnWs8
With rosy luster of the rising light: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEtrgHDxvia
The bord'ring people, rous'd by sounding fame 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjXMxZLZhN0
Of Trojan feasts and great Acestes' name, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAYouyA4loNB
The crowded shore with acclamations fill, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3YGinP0Wp4
Part to behold, and part to prove their skill. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0rUlfZhmfu
And first the gifts in public view they place, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWmxqSuxJni
Green laurel wreaths, and palm, the victors' grace: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAoTySn7j8Jm
Within the circle, arms and tripods lie, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAL404JSyHcG
Ingots of gold and silver, heap'd on high, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAONM7on4gcO
And vests embroider'd, of the Tyrian dye. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdm2zRunzRI
The trumpet's clangor then the feast proclaims, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJYs4Nlg2VT
And all prepare for their appointed games. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhCwjFM8ysJ
Four galleys first, which equal rowers bear, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAacU1TUPc7s
Advancing, in the wat'ry lists appear. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhXATTGPkzC
The speedy Dolphin, that outstrips the wind, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfEHiP9ojFY
Bore Mnestheus, author of the Memmian kind: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWc6eY8wWVl
Gyas the vast Chimaera's bulk commands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAor0qSHEpjK
Which rising, like a tow'ring city stands; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4FiYXFiPO5
Three Trojans tug at ev'ry lab'ring oar; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6TS2LV0ako
Three banks in three degrees the sailors bore; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2JDTfopWg0
Beneath their sturdy strokes the billows roar. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAr5XktTS1zN
Sergesthus, who began the Sergian race, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzAlVdafifx
In the great Centaur took the leading place; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcS3cE7hfMz
Cloanthus on the sea-green Scylla stood, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAiCDQv00UEA
From whom Cluentius draws his Trojan blood. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATotvM6bPHx
Far in the sea, against the foaming shore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnYTs5GhutA
There stands a rock: the raging billows roar 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjvGR5CvP7h
Above his head in storms; but, when 't is clear, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQgeOKSrvJg
Uncurl their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGqHdUKELB2
In peace below the gentle waters run; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACVrRKgERRB
The cormorants above lie basking in the sun. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7MS8GL37wV
On this the hero fix'd an oak in sight, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPuz7AFkqNJ
The mark to guide the mariners aright. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtJflYl1Zl4
To bear with this, the seamen stretch their oars; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABG8fPNbEl6
Then round the rock they steer, and seek the former shores. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVYofVJcwKT
The lots decide their place. Above the rest, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAySHwRch46e
Each leader shining in his Tyrian vest; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuZRsLkGUoq
The common crew with wreaths of poplar boughs 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACLiNa2Dtxj
Their temples crown, and shade their sweaty brows: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlDoxEeLaZC
Besmear'd with oil, their naked shoulders shine. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnfGNHBcUOc
All take their seats, and wait the sounding sign: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaCpZI1jIV2
They gripe their oars; and ev'ry panting breast 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlX8DmHjEVt
Is rais'd by turns with hope, by turns with fear depress'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALO2EARrvpn
The clangor of the trumpet gives the sign; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMQvRHIsxDq
At once they start, advancing in a line: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANome9D1IFM
With shouts the sailors rend the starry skies; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFhJ4Bf2tFk
Lash'd with their oars, the smoky billows rise; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANn5zIvkT3E
Sparkles the briny main, and the vex'd ocean fries. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAq5wfQmtCwh
Exact in time, with equal strokes they row: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjtbEjxNPLm
At once the brushing oars and brazen prow 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASZvzQAPgGv
Dash up the sandy waves, and ope the depths below. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANpKiC7Ve2b
Not fiery coursers, in a chariot race, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwC5I2mIRju
Invade the field with half so swift a pace; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAL7vkgwpajI
Not the fierce driver with more fury lends 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAhcBmlpAYb
The sounding lash, and, ere the stroke descends, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2olLQHqkNO
Low to the wheels his pliant body bends. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAG6OoxYi8PW
The partial crowd their hopes and fears divide, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAn2C3WJXZaX
And aid with eager shouts the favor'd side. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJqr5ILl6v2
Cries, murmurs, clamors, with a mixing sound, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQsUXJz9IXL
From woods to woods, from hills to hills rebound. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2qTKwa2xjI
Amidst the loud applauses of the shore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAybx4s2nKtH
Gyas outstripp'd the rest, and sprung before: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIWWVTJpIWE
Cloanthus, better mann'd, pursued him fast, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQXa395Ua0G
But his o'er-masted galley check'd his haste. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZBNYcRoWhE
The Centaur and the Dolphin brush the brine 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAb3sJdkucnt
With equal oars, advancing in a line; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1WQmnY5XR
And now the mighty Centaur seems to lead, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtp5LQ6aToj
And now the speedy Dolphin gets ahead; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEU6BLcUkPH
Now board to board the rival vessels row, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALfMxoipRoO
The billows lave the skies, and ocean groans below. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIp6Lj8QzkM
They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbPQWdHVdw2
In triumph rode, the victors of the main; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANMNOP5WCy0
But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot stand 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdf0Rv32W6E
More close to shore, and skim along the sand- 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArzOnA0Fdov
"Let others bear to sea!" Menoetes heard; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAm2mbyNLeEj
But secret shelves too cautiously he fear'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAG2klVTkMmB
And, fearing, sought the deep; and still aloof he steer'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEOjGzOwnA0
With louder cries the captain call'd again: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMv7RqffKQs
"Bear to the rocky shore, and shun the main." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABBFREOJZ02
He spoke, and, speaking, at his stern he saw 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAyIDH9flphP
The bold Cloanthus near the shelvings draw. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFQN2hVd5MC
Betwixt the mark and him the Scylla stood, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArp6StzxJNO
And in a closer compass plow'd the flood. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7JUlIFTBGp
He pass'd the mark; and, wheeling, got before: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfMf90d0BQf
Gyas blasphem'd the gods, devoutly swore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAF4buJI2UaD
Cried out for anger, and his hair he tore. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9UWmT8l9ap
Mindless of others' lives (so high was grown 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfEK8YACsSg
His rising rage) and careless of his own, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdKWGOZQTc5
The trembling dotard to the deck he drew; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuCvCE72Quc
Then hoisted up, and overboard he threw: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqP8gggKTy0
This done, he seiz'd the helm; his fellows cheer'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABiA3oQ555L
Turn'd short upon the shelfs, and madly steer'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAid938mJYRU
Hardly his head the plunging pilot rears, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAl9kmSwawSL
Clogg'd with his clothes, and cumber'd with his years: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASNHglzpAvo
Now dropping wet, he climbs the cliff with pain. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASSATLaJG6I
The crowd, that saw him fall and float again, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhz1ceFZAHJ
Shout from the distant shore; and loudly laugh'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2KEM9XLVju
To see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draught. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAq2WJ8454PP
The following Centaur, and the Dolphin's crew, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKBFwH89Wvg
Their vanish'd hopes of victory renew; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxCmgIJnNjZ
While Gyas lags, they kindle in the race, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAn6HbaN8Z6Q
To reach the mark. Sergesthus takes the place; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnCzWcxqJfX
Mnestheus pursues; and while around they wind, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAf21Y4y9qbf
Comes up, not half his galley's length behind; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGbzSW8tpzD
Then, on the deck, amidst his mates appear'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5D2mgVAflz
And thus their drooping courage he cheer'd: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAyRrjST0goA
"My friends, and Hector's followers heretofore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzb9UZuGfv9
Exert your vigor; tug the lab'ring oar; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbVj3VjgnLX
Stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2MnwY608bb
Whom from the flaming walls of Troy I drew. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaYt00tn99j
In this, our common int'rest, let me find 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZCsKAXfgcH
That strength of hand, that courage of the mind, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQmovo0DIck
As when you stemm'd the strong Malean flood, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFXg4tsWBBE
And o'er the Syrtes' broken billows row'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxmDdOISmv3
I seek not now the foremost palm to gain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsUCItt1UZ4
Tho' yet- but, ah! that haughty wish is vain! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAznj2asZ20q
Let those enjoy it whom the gods ordain. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxQSrNuaRW0
But to be last, the lags of all the race!- 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANIQS0wj0WP
Redeem yourselves and me from that disgrace." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1uDWyfdEPD
Now, one and all, they tug amain; they row 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAoPBBh4qlPl
At the full stretch, and shake the brazen prow. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFljtmlnPRV
The sea beneath 'em sinks; their lab'ring sides 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsg9vLC3GRO
Are swell'd, and sweat runs gutt'ring down in tides. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAl9ucboB67m
Chance aids their daring with unhop'd success; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGYW7gvXl5a
Sergesthus, eager with his beak to press 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmAwHbqdR4j
Betwixt the rival galley and the rock, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZYixhL2Lty
Shuts up th' unwieldly Centaur in the lock. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZJsfv8JzJS
The vessel struck; and, with the dreadful shock, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8epnfpNnBv
Her oars she shiver'd, and her head she broke. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAs9HhWMXaVG
The trembling rowers from their banks arise, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7aGMq3TtYI
And, anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAab9qz6ifQM
With iron poles they heave her off the shores, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAW5QrwZJsaj
And gather from the sea their floating oars. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvQodZ4h1Ak
The crew of Mnestheus, with elated minds, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADcKOZgQY2J
Urge their success, and call the willing winds; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnbLK4ORekP
Then ply their oars, and cut their liquid way 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACzgm1cCd5I
In larger compass on the roomy sea. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVH5rKbq0FY
As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmvyeUCeXqd
Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMW4pJ6KQ9i
The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMHw5OGJxwc
And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbjwLwk4mWL
At first she flutters; but at length she springs 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALBTxhP0lxS
To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaWxWYfDgQX
So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKJWs5NKA6D
And, flying with a force, that force assists his way. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACOyPWXAAVm
Sergesthus in the Centaur soon he pass'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAoVyj9DYXON
Wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaz5ULFXIGv
In vain the victor he with cries implores, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlqbrcFLeB0
And practices to row with shatter'd oars. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJLGG4zlEGN
Then Mnestheus bears with Gyas, and outflies: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7V5Y9lAWWN
The ship, without a pilot, yields the prize. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAE8piz1EOgb
Unvanquish'd Scylla now alone remains; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOxOya0ds3v
Her he pursues, and all his vigor strains. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3w0V6DHvoW
Shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARLKDpojoaK
Applauding Echo to the shouts replies; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABy2wp8b06M
Shouts, wishes, and applause run rattling thro' the skies. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAR9iRKQMG2r
These clamors with disdain the Scylla heard, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASrata85Yz9
Much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzOyZBqk5iP
Resolv'd to hold their own, they mend their pace, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMZVwC0wofC
All obstinate to die, or gain the race. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKtw6F6S0F6
Rais'd with success, the Dolphin swiftly ran; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABEni9Svgzc
For they can conquer, who believe they can. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWvqLyLXSB8
Both urge their oars, and fortune both supplies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWUsCH1D3vz
And both perhaps had shar'd an equal prize; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkk9R6bdosb
When to the seas Cloanthus holds his hands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8GqUDR1diD
And succor from the wat'ry pow'rs demands: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQQUHXB4KqU
"Gods of the liquid realms, on which I row! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5fE7WLHpHB
If, giv'n by you, the laurel bind my brow, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXno2Fe1xiT
Assist to make me guilty of my vow! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAepx1DT8W8A
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAoxlyKPK4YP
His offer'd entrails cast into the main, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3BlkHGCu0
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXVPfrUr87a
Your grateful gift and my return shall own." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKU8wO8TgKg
The choir of nymphs, and Phorcus, from below, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhWDgEJ3Zql
With virgin Panopea, heard his vow; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALsG7UM5gvR
And old Portunus, with his breadth of hand, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwO9QGC7Znm
Push'd on, and sped the galley to the land. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAxlAFf9ssC
Swift as a shaft, or winged wind, she flies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAd5tnUnIB9R
And, darting to the port, obtains the prize. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6LsUThiuEQ
The herald summons all, and then proclaims 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHNctxDJcGy
Cloanthus conqu'ror of the naval games. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAN1A4AExlPF
The prince with laurel crowns the victor's head, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ307nI2IB
And three fat steers are to his vessel led, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAF7AQDkTE52
The ship's reward; with gen'rous wine beside, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6VlJWM2Gj6
And sums of silver, which the crew divide. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnZTdTjxiS5
The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApuhdEKfv4V
The victor honor'd with a nobler vest, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKYTeIO6ed3
Where gold and purple strive in equal rows, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQmJZB3HqCv
And needlework its happy cost bestows. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxCijetUubb
There Ganymede is wrought with living art, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9CjM34hiZ5
Chasing thro' Ida's groves the trembling hart: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASxBE4Df2oI
Breathless he seems, yet eager to pursue; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATt4aqzkkWx
When from aloft descends, in open view, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzyNgdTzG3e
The bird of Jove, and, sousing on his prey, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGa4djplNkp
With crooked talons bears the boy away. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsmblFFGuOP
In vain, with lifted hands and gazing eyes, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMabn4FCImR
His guards behold him soaring thro' the skies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1WRjtaky4R
And dogs pursue his flight with imitated cries. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA03V4jMbdPH
Mnestheus the second victor was declar'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArCbrYhsEPz
And, summon'd there, the second prize he shard. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAveycbVkgId
A coat of mail, brave Demoleus bore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACYtdmvmNFf
More brave Aeneas from his shoulders tore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5xVQzNf361
In single combat on the Trojan shore: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsjbFmln5nj
This was ordain'd for Mnestheus to possess; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAm5vNDDrTIh
In war for his defense, for ornament in peace. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKXvO4n7R8E
Rich was the gift, and glorious to behold, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuxDt8ZVEd0
But yet so pond'rous with its plates of gold, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARMV8mFhd7I
That scarce two servants could the weight sustain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFHgkE2z41i
Yet, loaded thus, Demoleus o'er the plain 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbsFa887Y0I
Pursued and lightly seiz'd the Trojan train. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfwmvz68Eqj
The third, succeeding to the last reward, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAc2aZCFb67e
Two goodly bowls of massy silver shar'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASYFb9ubyag
With figures prominent, and richly wrought, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbNPsiVPzif
And two brass caldrons from Dodona brought. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWYsaQSW47B
Thus all, rewarded by the hero's hands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADwMuPSRKss
Their conqu'ring temples bound with purple bands; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUsiDiLyRUM
And now Sergesthus, clearing from the rock, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtb0HNfHZvk
Brought back his galley shatter'd with the shock. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALH2XBrDoG0
Forlorn she look'd, without an aiding oar, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbGjUKTcgWt
And, houted by the vulgar, made to shore. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATnH6fZpsu1
As when a snake, surpris'd upon the road, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzCFEiRHQay
Is crush'd athwart her body by the load 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwctFAxN65Y
Of heavy wheels; or with a mortal wound 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANkvopR8ZQY
Her belly bruis'd, and trodden to the ground: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA595TXh3bwv
In vain, with loosen'd curls, she crawls along; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAYwo29nn8Zu
Yet, fierce above, she brandishes her tongue; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqVRy4yhWSN
Glares with her eyes, and bristles with her scales; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQduFNgqR6c
But, groveling in the dust, her parts unsound she trails: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACwx7rqihSd
So slowly to the port the Centaur tends, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKC0NAaZtKx
But, what she wants in oars, with sails amends. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWYAwO8MzzB
Yet, for his galley sav'd, the grateful prince 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAeIhEOa23WR
Is pleas'd th' unhappy chief to recompense. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMZHEw6BsJZ
Pholoe, the Cretan slave, rewards his care, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAe5um9u6UN6
Beauteous herself, with lovely twins as fair. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEOK0jnoaL4
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdZYDjIGroF
Into the neighb'ring plain, with mountains pent, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8uOfXbuYa5
Whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmqn7dQJE1q
Full in the midst of this fair valley stood 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQokJVVyFb8
A native theater, which, rising slow 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARervHzIOVo
By just degrees, o'erlook'd the ground below. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbubCmauGUF
High on a sylvan throne the leader sate; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwiWwVFdHeA
A num'rous train attend in solemn state. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArNgqhQW021
Here those that in the rapid course delight, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3pMH15afUn
Desire of honor and the prize invite. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArzgLmEhXsc
The rival runners without order stand; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhnbVN4I3G0
The Trojans mix'd with the Sicilian band. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAs0iTO2CIsZ
First Nisus, with Euryalus, appears; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Ii5FN4fu
Euryalus a boy of blooming years, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAw33H31FOgs
With sprightly grace and equal beauty crown'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAq49WEYUT3e
Nisus, for friendship to the youth renown'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdy1qXCJ2nC
Diores next, of Priam's royal race, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkSx3KpYiDG
Then Salius joined with Patron, took their place; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxCGWDSonE4
(But Patron in Arcadia had his birth, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2bg6OFz72T
And Salius his from Arcananian earth;) 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAELQflOtN9x
Then two Sicilian youths- the names of these, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFd2T4fNaEn
Swift Helymus, and lovely Panopes: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0X323JMjEx
Both jolly huntsmen, both in forest bred, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAd04l7JnNhs
And owning old Acestes for their head; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0ny29WQI7u
With sev'ral others of ignobler name, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfe9U9G3Ymv
Whom time has not deliver'd o'er to fame. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOjYEij73Zt
To these the hero thus his thoughts explain'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWI5HwlhC92
In words which gen'ral approbation gain'd: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARaWV1OMcaY
"One common largess is for all design'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlNtdMS6c1H
(The vanquish'd and the victor shall be join'd,) 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIWzfEM0QhO
Two darts of polish'd steel and Gnosian wood, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmdeWAip0Tu
A silver-studded ax, alike bestow'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqkfJLPrgq6
The foremost three have olive wreaths decreed: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKspisyBSru
The first of these obtains a stately steed, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfkg6jhNaUC
Adorn'd with trappings; and the next in fame, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADx8xcJsrW5
The quiver of an Amazonian dame, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATHfgCUZvQn
With feather'd Thracian arrows well supplied: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADQQYRE27tW
A golden belt shall gird his manly side, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAWTqvHKxhh
Which with a sparkling diamond shall be tied. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPrRYj25Zdd
The third this Grecian helmet shall content." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOQl2pj8zBu
He said. To their appointed base they went; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEAVOX91sPQ
With beating hearts th' expected sign receive, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACPgJF24mUc
And, starting all at once, the barrier leave. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZMle1eat3I
Spread out, as on the winged winds, they flew, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVYEAveznwM
And seiz'd the distant goal with greedy view. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjEkdhJkF0c
Shot from the crowd, swift Nisus all o'erpass'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA06ebLXxqcr
Nor storms, nor thunder, equal half his haste. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAA3bD3ofnuM
The next, but tho' the next, yet far disjoin'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2aPuiMrMvp
Came Salius, and Euryalus behind; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXh51XvBz7K
Then Helymus, whom young Diores plied, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqyQJsF487K
Step after step, and almost side by side, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZTydsJ3DWB
His shoulders pressing; and, in longer space, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAU9pE7CCtTF
Had won, or left at least a dubious race. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzTcGaVd73q
Now, spent, the goal they almost reach at last, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgsFK7uWQec
When eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHQPiLdrWIU
Slipp'd first, and, slipping, fell upon the plain, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAno4gGnyeY7
Soak'd with the blood of oxen newly slain. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsLcfQrRGXZ
The careless victor had not mark'd his way; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzkQMW4RpJG
But, treading where the treach'rous puddle lay, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA901PaNocgb
His heels flew up; and on the grassy floor 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvfMUFYmFRo
He fell, besmear'd with filth and holy gore. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbpkzAe7JrW
Not mindless then, Euryalus, of thee, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3pKXJnIEFy
Nor of the sacred bonds of amity, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA07HwB4GafR
He strove th' immediate rival's hope to cross, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwWOe0KMYXZ
And caught the foot of Salius as he rose. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAz0heD5O9Ko
So Salius lay extended on the plain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsN1Luw6Kyy
Euryalus springs out, the prize to gain, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJdJzjF6CCT
And leaves the crowd: applauding peals attend 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEXStyTpBoi
The victor to the goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqIGusS9L5b
Next Helymus; and then Diores came, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOUW6OzzZmI
By two misfortunes made the third in fame. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAC5BfLf42Qu
But Salius enters, and, exclaiming loud 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAiTm8txKi7c
For justice, deafens and disturbs the crowd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAD0qMDXjXxJ
Urges his cause may in the court be heard; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAH9d6twnjHG
And pleads the prize is wrongfully conferr'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAncfmCScUZD
But favor for Euryalus appears; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXN7KM8hF2Z
His blooming beauty, with his tender tears, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApG3wExKYJu
Had brib'd the judges for the promis'd prize. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIMoziP7DFP
Besides, Diores fills the court with cries, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArPbNdKicX5
Who vainly reaches at the last reward, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9RpTV0klid
If the first palm on Salius be conferr'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADNfpzHHeki
Then thus the prince: "Let no disputes arise: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJTTD9vU1N0
Where fortune plac'd it, I award the prize. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAis0KBDeyz4
But fortune's errors give me leave to mend, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWPg9k3UMM8
At least to pity my deserving friend." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAd6BmJAcSGD
He said, and, from among the spoils, he draws 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAf3mCXbPCu3
(Pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws) 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA57Ye2C7ZSs
A lion's hide: to Salius this he gives. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjZy8we0nTm
Nisus with envy sees the gift, and grieves. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkrJvESpZNB
"If such rewards to vanquish'd men are due." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASGUg6TROxN
He said, "and falling is to rise by you, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKgDpmWaGOR
What prize may Nisus from your bounty claim, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQzeF2w57Nu
Who merited the first rewards and fame? 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMMk7KdL8Oy
In falling, both an equal fortune tried; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9cJK4069UD
Would fortune for my fall so well provide!" 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAj8PraxHBLS
With this he pointed to his face, and show'd 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQsvfDlsWDH
His hand and all his habit smear'd with blood. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADTUOU4JlYF
Th' indulgent father of the people smil'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACCl83xXdy8
And caus'd to be produc'd an ample shield, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJX87B78E7W
Of wondrous art, by Didymaon wrought, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALyHaIOxI9P
Long since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAH99f1Zja5P
This giv'n to Nisus, he divides the rest, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAW7Elu0ERtW
And equal justice in his gifts express'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhDd9F58CyY
The race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3QYhkep0lj
Once more the princes bespeaks th' attentive crowd: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANyFxmCuKhS
"If there he here whose dauntless courage dare 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmFsirGZdNu
In gauntlet-fight, with limbs and body bare, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2me13duVs2
His opposite sustain in open view, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9LWmdxV8E0
Stand forth the champion, and the games renew. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6xerzSptFl
Two prizes I propose, and thus divide: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAryZBBbkWzH
A bull with gilded horns, and fillets tied, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxVH22yZpeU
Shall be the portion of the conqu'ring chief; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAScGYuY4Zq
A sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASCaxPJpKXT
Then haughty Dares in the lists appears; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOBimMjYItx
Stalking he strides, his head erected bears: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAiUPm1fYBIB
His nervous arms the weighty gauntlet wield, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgndaevhpFn
And loud applauses echo thro' the field. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaDOAgM37PG
Dares alone in combat us'd to stand 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA48vpG9cBcF
The match of mighty Paris, hand to hand; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5aw5oINPtQ
The same, at Hector's fun'rals, undertook 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAx4depHpSO2
Gigantic Butes, of th' Amycian stock, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5E8jouQdjJ
And, by the stroke of his resistless hand, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwLbtvARW24
Stretch'd the vast bulk upon the yellow sand. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHXv2csahsJ
Such Dares was; and such he strode along, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuvM3NszcEM
And drew the wonder of the gazing throng. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABiRIMTOmxt
His brawny back and ample breast he shows, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAgflmLNUO2
His lifted arms around his head he throws, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZhVpXMhD9e
And deals in whistling air his empty blows. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATDKpmhKFVm
His match is sought; but, thro' the trembling band, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkp9a3VHsB3
Not one dares answer to the proud demand. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHMOzoEIxLx
Presuming of his force, with sparkling eyes 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZUUsakqOQ6
Already he devours the promis'd prize. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcEceqD7dt9
He claims the bull with awless insolence, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHWHqUU26xy
And having seiz'd his horns, accosts the prince: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAF661kyMvlg
"If none my matchless valor dares oppose, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALtGm7KWl4g
How long shall Dares wait his dastard foes? 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA74uWvWVGxD
Permit me, chief, permit without delay, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5T4WrF1msY
To lead this uncontended gift away." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATT0eTr0ap1
The crowd assents, and with redoubled cries 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAR6VxPaUcL9
For the proud challenger demands the prize. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAR4K8Dr37l6
Acestes, fir'd with just disdain, to see 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAksiOG4KsZc
The palm usurp'd without a victory, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAT2TMUNIpJ0
Reproach'd Entellus thus, who sate beside, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIYEByk1mDf
And heard and saw, unmov'd, the Trojan's pride: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4NGV1vH2vA
"Once, but in vain, a champion of renown, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACwEWSMatoO
So tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApfQLhjrN8R
A prize in triumph borne before your sight, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABJWMgFjVbj
And shun, for fear, the danger of the fight? 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAy2Mv5vDbaU
Where is our Eryx now, the boasted name, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1KfO6fSMO
The god who taught your thund'ring arm the game? 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANSSAuQA4ZL
Where now your baffled honor? Where the spoil 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtUqro6dp0e
That fill'd your house, and fame that fill'd our isle?" 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAR05S3jx4g5
Entellus, thus: "My soul is still the same, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWCl7Va6JTq
Unmov'd with fear, and mov'd with martial fame; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6MD6Amm4PN
But my chill blood is curdled in my veins, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASvTTtGnRrI
And scarce the shadow of a man remains. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAd4frrNvZxq
O could I turn to that fair prime again, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuLRGozAFci
That prime of which this boaster is so vain, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwMXDnmQDAf
The brave, who this decrepid age defies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhfWB70ZKS8
Should feel my force, without the promis'd prize." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAoi8MzWAFti
He said; and, rising at the word, he threw 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlof0vMDRbL
Two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKn2rgAq93N
Gauntlets which Eryx wont in fight to wield, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlQyYfvoKCO
And sheathe his hands with in the listed field. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5qKW0UaPnc
With fear and wonder seiz'd, the crowd beholds 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqBkL8o3qHQ
The gloves of death, with sev'n distinguish'd folds 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAiOqQhMnCcn
Of tough bull hides; the space within is spread 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8fCHdytVLb
With iron, or with loads of heavy lead: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWbVFMGb0A8
Dares himself was daunted at the sight, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaxczlrE0eb
Renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd to fight. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtwGdi4vTl6
Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUm61EHr4ew
And pois'd the pond'rous engines in his hands. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAublf0sc2vi
"What had your wonder," said Entellus, "been, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHEYS9sSJ4T
Had you the gauntlets of Alcides seen, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAd2GERSTq1i
Or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxlfKGJY8aO
These which I bear your brother Eryx bore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOkRL8y31Ec
Still mark'd with batter'd brains and mingled gore. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAS8VVKBWtVW
With these he long sustain'd th' Herculean arm; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVOcwtm0A0g
And these I wielded while my blood was warm, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5xwOpjOUMD
This languish'd frame while better spirits fed, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxRXxtojXVE
Ere age unstrung my nerves, or time o'ersnow'd my head. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQmSd5Ux1Ju
But if the challenger these arms refuse, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ7rWkZJM8
And cannot wield their weight, or dare not use; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAC1nfLxKuEl
If great Aeneas and Acestes join 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAykSahifpLN
In his request, these gauntlets I resign; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjlPA7NCpst
Let us with equal arms perform the fight, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAr7dkYEsRID
And let him leave to fear, since I resign my right." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAv5lAIUUycn
This said, Entellus for the strife prepares; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEuTmTUlNh7
Stripp'd of his quilted coat, his body bares; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5jSy4fWOVW
Compos'd of mighty bones and brawn he stands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnlf6UjGpZ7
A goodly tow'ring object on the sands. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbJFQ4OHtyZ
Then just Aeneas equal arms supplied, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsfDmNvBLZa
Which round their shoulders to their wrists they tied. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3fO4QVyKaz
Both on the tiptoe stand, at full extent, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgLCZJwgr0r
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA38DyNE7t1V
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcbNkim90ZS
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQQsBHjxNgw
One on his youth and pliant limbs relies; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKYnfDEp8yK
One on his sinews and his giant size. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABQf4DecuxE
The last is stiff with age, his motion slow; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcGARCpqUXJ
He heaves for breath, he staggers to and fro, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGasBDC4a9c
And clouds of issuing smoke his nostrils loudly blow. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApXPS9AcSmQ
Yet equal in success, they ward, they strike; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAg5eiENAcBr
Their ways are diff'rent, but their art alike. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaedNA4uro4
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPkymDWJnKv
Their hollow sides the rattling thumps resound. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjFh1pH6RdU
A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACEGv717CRB
And errs about their temples, ears, and eyes. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAU6ne1A6YMD
Nor always errs; for oft the gauntlet draws 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdsBB0L9Rx6
A sweeping stroke along the crackling jaws. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUp2NtCYz5W
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANbSP9Bi9h3
But with his warping body wards the wound. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAExuk6FoTPV
His hand and watchful eye keep even pace; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAal2fw6dl58
While Dares traverses and shifts his place, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAz5TT0CxzrD
And, like a captain who beleaguers round 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5fVRynAehx
Some strong-built castle on a rising ground, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAefyukcATgs
Views all th' approaches with observing eyes: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAW78yBc6mOi
This and that other part in vain he tries, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALjlpDHqOiz
And more on industry than force relies. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWz6mjbxe1f
With hands on high, Entellus threats the foe; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADFKRRaNsbw
But Dares watch'd the motion from below, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgm8kiFF9Q2
And slipp'd aside, and shunn'd the long descending blow. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAH5rzaUQhfo
Entellus wastes his forces on the wind, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4Obv6IK405
And, thus deluded of the stroke design'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1ITKUjUaGt
Headlong and heavy fell; his ample breast 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIrpfh3wJqL
And weighty limbs his ancient mother press'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdxY5jkTD65
So falls a hollow pine, that long had stood 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAER0XflShoJ
On Ida's height, or Erymanthus' wood, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvljsoKVADo
Torn from the roots. The diff'ring nations rise, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5hIndGWP2n
And shouts and mingled murmurs rend the skies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAyruSL7cZVm
Acestus runs with eager haste, to raise 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArqDTmzIBGS
The fall'n companion of his youthful days. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFpRNNtRXwi
Dauntless he rose, and to the fight return'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAD9LUxYwPGb
With shame his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury burn'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhtbPvOsRPe
Disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVIVC076Q5J
And with redoubled force his foe he press'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAM4i9ITldEG
He lays on load with either hand, amain, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPMnhf7hYJX
And headlong drives the Trojan o'er the plain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAv92IDtdp6p
Nor stops, nor stays; nor rest nor breath allows; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAACPn4wAzhl
But storms of strokes descend about his brows, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArR4MLKKIHl
A rattling tempest, and a hail of blows. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGa8pi0Jr61
But now the prince, who saw the wild increase 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA76FhlIwvCs
Of wounds, commands the combatants to cease, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAD1QkxACefG
And bounds Entellus' wrath, and bids the peace. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4tlKBUOMhu
First to the Trojan, spent with toil, he came, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUp4flPWO15
And sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtKtjwI5T7H
"What fury seiz'd my friend? The gods," said he, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAo75nLxlqpx
"To him propitious, and averse to thee, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACDCTOzGVX7
Have giv'n his arm superior force to thine. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAESiQrYAFSh
'T is madness to contend with strength divine." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGG8mcu1Agy
The gauntlet fight thus ended, from the shore 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAyhxW73D8hJ
His faithful friends unhappy Dares bore: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApnSXwFg4hG
His mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAU6jXYSYAf9
And pounded teeth came rushing with his blood. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKwDryPi2ER
Faintly he stagger'd thro' the hissing throng, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACWUj3GoOBF
And hung his head, and trail'd his legs along. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAm8sQ3y73aj
The sword and casque are carried by his train; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAiBTwWEJKxU
But with his foe the palm and ox remain. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAk3tPfxESPr
The champion, then, before Aeneas came, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5rk163DjWd
Proud of his prize, but prouder of his fame: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfhLp3TIuCr
"O goddess-born, and you, Dardanian host, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZI9IO3ZCFC
Mark with attention, and forgive my boast; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnvT1JV3IEh
Learn what I was, by what remains; and know 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7zTUQNxkev
From what impending fate you sav'd my foe." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbdz1h0YyrC
Sternly he spoke, and then confronts the bull; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAubZPuqrdHo
And, on his ample forehead aiming full, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAy9bGyuizaJ
The deadly stroke, descending, pierc'd the skull. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgGWb1ZMfX9
Down drops the beast, nor needs a second wound, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9NCwk8dSv9
But sprawls in pangs of death, and spurns the ground. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjwT06sX1xC
Then, thus: "In Dares' stead I offer this. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQoCoosg6xG
Eryx, accept a nobler sacrifice; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2tJ1sM10x
Take the last gift my wither'd arms can yield: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXUC1brzokS
Thy gauntlets I resign, and here renounce the field." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA26U2EDkdtY
This done, Aeneas orders, for the close, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5UiPrRsUiE
The strife of archers with contending bows. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5fyIKdIk15
The mast Sergesthus' shatter'd galley bore 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvHdFeUqv1o
With his own hands he raises on the shore. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ0hCEZELn
A flutt'ring dove upon the top they tie, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4uM631slZX
The living mark at which their arrows fly. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAalHBU6eqT3
The rival archers in a line advance, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0r27USqkJa
Their turn of shooting to receive from chance. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVKj8lcVY0P
A helmet holds their names; the lots are drawn: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6phPdUaLny
On the first scroll was read Hippocoon. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFnbmXIJZYY
The people shout. Upon the next was found 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAke4KSJWsbn
Young Mnestheus, late with naval honors crown'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEto5T0S06C
The third contain'd Eurytion's noble name, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4m7C4Z8mc
Thy brother, Pandarus, and next in fame, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgyEiY8SElv
Whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA60rukks8fX
And send among the Greeks a feather'd wound. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPTLvLIIQ5t
Acestes in the bottom last remain'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5pIZ3eeOUP
Whom not his age from youthful sports restrain'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlSyuQ7RHvF
Soon all with vigor bend their trusty bows, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAu8qkHeDkt
And from the quiver each his arrow chose. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfQLFtSK3a7
Hippocoon's was the first: with forceful sway 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMK7MZUwYmE
It flew, and, whizzing, cut the liquid way. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmtxXD4CV2T
Fix'd in the mast the feather'd weapon stands: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHIJp1CKkpm
The fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAg7MZla8E9e
And the tree trembled, and the shouting cries 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAiAYmHnNcfu
Of the pleas'd people rend the vaulted skies. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVSg9uZ6FBT
Then Mnestheus to the head his arrow drove, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtkwpZurMWJ
With lifted eyes, and took his aim above, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAp5jHN9ZOR0
But made a glancing shot, and missed the dove; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALTyEVWwMuI
Yet miss'd so narrow, that he cut the cord 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAGdHWwBUMa
Which fasten'd by the foot the flitting bird. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA10XBE4JUVc
The captive thus releas'd, away she flies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA503rsVqs44
And beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAshdzFbMg77
His bow already bent, Eurytion stood; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfWHZ9eFpPJ
And, having first invok'd his brother god, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5hcgiSklRq
His winged shaft with eager haste he sped. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABphdrhrMze
The fatal message reach'd her as she fled: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArPbzy4RteM
She leaves her life aloft; she strikes the ground, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJi0U2ZMCvG
And renders back the weapon in the wound. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2m3oU5bp3c
Acestes, grudging at his lot, remains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmVYlVNHDKY
Without a prize to gratify his pains. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsN8QdYEIqi
Yet, shooting upward, sends his shaft, to show 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkLexs09E56
An archer's art, and boast his twanging bow. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASAobXVo1Jd
The feather'd arrow gave a dire portent, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAN4J85tdvNA
And latter augurs judge from this event. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwdCXMqKiu3
Chaf'd by the speed, it fir'd; and, as it flew, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqY9knsREZI
A trail of following flames ascending drew: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAo9KLX1sjCy
Kindling they mount, and mark the shiny way; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAM9IvMWauwe
Across the skies as falling meteors play, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnfb8VVmPEV
And vanish into wind, or in a blaze decay. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVNXA0AW90s
The Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2OU7AOfyTp
And, trembling, turn their wonder into pray'r. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvlQfZhmANT
The Dardan prince put on a smiling face, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKBvClKzqs5
And strain'd Acestes with a close embrace; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHIBF6YyupV
Then, hon'ring him with gifts above the rest, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2yS30v7hG6
Turn'd the bad omen, nor his fears confess'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6PQiOVp6Xd
"The gods," said he, "this miracle have wrought, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALjr8C5tzc1
And order'd you the prize without the lot. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuXVmoPMQBj
Accept this goblet, rough with figur'd gold, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALxmXZW5T7P
Which Thracian Cisseus gave my sire of old: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAN5UblDuWgP
This pledge of ancient amity receive, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgLeIWRtmRX
Which to my second sire I justly give." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABt7QOXAs6Q
He said, and, with the trumpets' cheerful sound, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Zzs47aVd
Proclaim'd him victor, and with laurel-crown'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArxbsuucWbC
Nor good Eurytion envied him the prize, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAphB3gnAykL
Tho' he transfix'd the pigeon in the skies. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfMdzCxqRCJ
Who cut the line, with second gifts was grac'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALD6h7cwime
The third was his whose arrow pierc'd the mast. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMsjAxWAg3U
The chief, before the games were wholly done, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARnIlm7CcTh
Call'd Periphantes, tutor to his son, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAymi4G8O9Yr
And whisper'd thus: "With speed Ascanius find; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUbLntVzjpe
And, if his childish troop be ready join'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAg7r0iTHhdk
On horseback let him grace his grandsire's day, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZsyFtrkJ2A
And lead his equals arm'd in just array." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADYmg5ovfP1
He said; and, calling out, the cirque he clears. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWqQGYL40O0
The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWAPcUb353p
And now the noble youths, of form divine, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXXYB08vJpL
Advance before their fathers, in a line; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMneJmpZIU5
The riders grace the steeds; the steeds with glory shine. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApdPLdRNQKS
Thus marching on in military pride, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABIAURKahuD
Shouts of applause resound from side to side. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQS9nBnD91u
Their casques adorn'd with laurel wreaths they wear, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAyjvodXhwce
Each brandishing aloft a cornel spear. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAysCofO2VWM
Some at their backs their gilded quivers bore; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3oerbx0p7v
Their chains of burnish'd gold hung down before. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAd6dz06Tgza
Three graceful troops they form'd upon the green; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0ennMLZI6h
Three graceful leaders at their head were seen; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANASxf0G5Jmgq
Twelve follow'd ev'ry chief, and left a space between. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXPwwegkFcZ
The first young Priam led; a lovely boy, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARhetK3BoEq
Whose grandsire was th' unhappy king of Troy; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAORe0XRFj9S
His race in after times was known to fame, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwnZ08eCDZR
New honors adding to the Latian name; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA759dl6oeXd
And well the royal boy his Thracian steed became. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQsCDwWEgMv
White were the fetlocks of his feet before, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZgXPGkir1
And on his front a snowy star he bore. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlIYhbx7hDq
Then beauteous Atys, with Iulus bred, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwo5EwgbxfO
Of equal age, the second squadron led. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAYd12GXCsDv
The last in order, but the first in place, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuegz7Ym0ND
First in the lovely features of his face, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAraU8A8kWw5
Rode fair Ascanius on a fiery steed, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIS7omYZVQx
Queen Dido's gift, and of the Tyrian breed. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAG9cQyI8eeU
Sure coursers for the rest the king ordains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaO5ucs8SG0
With golden bits adorn'd, and purple reins. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAH7VolfJxYu
The pleas'd spectators peals of shouts renew, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwmN637B2J4
And all the parents in the children view; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzPA20PODFP
Their make, their motions, and their sprightly grace, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnmIJ5abMSy
And hopes and fears alternate in their face. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxT9CFTPm45
Th' unfledg'd commanders and their martial train 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdHhnrsgoag
First make the circuit of the sandy plain 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVI8mpVN831
Around their sires, and, at th' appointed sign, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArc9i3BF81P
Drawn up in beauteous order, form a line. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ9RdSCi0B
The second signal sounds, the troop divides 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnnhczYsykz
In three distinguish'd parts, with three distinguish'd guides 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALzW9CrZIi5
Again they close, and once again disjoin; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMC7yWRyLf7
In troop to troop oppos'd, and line to line. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5bFNYwcPNi
They meet; they wheel; they throw their darts afar 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzlD6DMuOwa
With harmless rage and well-dissembled war. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9GeqvIjmKS
Then in a round the mingled bodies run: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAh71ljgDwOS
Flying they follow, and pursuing shun; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGoIVavFhhn
Broken, they break; and, rallying, they renew 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0EmpwUekLK
In other forms the military shew. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdoBONsvQMH
At last, in order, undiscern'd they join, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAphObh4O5eT
And march together in a friendly line. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfyTVHFi32X
And, as the Cretan labyrinth of old, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgKzEDjw6e8
With wand'ring ways and many a winding fold, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAq7z6TdgXeB
Involv'd the weary feet, without redress, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmjWsU9Woju
In a round error, which denied recess; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjFtXLtpFQn
So fought the Trojan boys in warlike play, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3nzVzYK1td
Turn'd and return'd, and still a diff'rent way. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATInbvOBUhN
Thus dolphins in the deep each other chase 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuOM4GgvPlC
In circles, when they swim around the wat'ry race. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzMKNQRlVX8
This game, these carousels, Ascanius taught; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdsoCOEIlFK
And, building Alba, to the Latins brought; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwKGDPbIyek
Shew'd what he learn'd: the Latin sires impart 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANZaABZoM7s
To their succeeding sons the graceful art; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhCHYXjZgxf
From these imperial Rome receiv'd the game, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAU40hJEWpIY
Which Troy, the youths the Trojan troop, they name. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATRJhlgev0q
Thus far the sacred sports they celebrate: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAW1rIjKNSvN
But Fortune soon resum'd her ancient hate; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7fsbcBt5ZU
For, while they pay the dead his annual dues, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAohePeSAtvf
Those envied rites Saturnian Juno views; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAb12FBpuJf6
And sends the goddess of the various bow, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPaE2lbfeCG
To try new methods of revenge below; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuVvVlsDYbn
Supplies the winds to wing her airy way, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAS52RUIGEFw
Where in the port secure the navy lay. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPYWYwMoq6T
Swiftly fair Iris down her arch descends, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKnWELY6l0B
And, undiscern'd, her fatal voyage ends. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtIzLOcGqx5
She saw the gath'ring crowd; and, gliding thence, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAunLTESzmxI
The desart shore, and fleet without defense. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAR9bDF3Vy3C
The Trojan matrons, on the sands alone, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAM0UloJAUkr
With sighs and tears Anchises' death bemoan; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKKnZ9Jor3a
Then, turning to the sea their weeping eyes, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAj0SaOdFUrN
Their pity to themselves renews their cries. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAewOkcxJAww
"Alas!" said one, "what oceans yet remain 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVNA6h1IaLJ
For us to sail! what labors to sustain!" 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5vWUD7zUlk
All take the word, and, with a gen'ral groan, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1weZIT2GnK
Implore the gods for peace, and places of their own. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArlsveyYr0s
The goddess, great in mischief, views their pains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApBopBWTm9i
And in a woman's form her heav'nly limbs restrains. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgvpl0Al6Uq
In face and shape old Beroe she became, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbsQoiobDk4
Doryclus' wife, a venerable dame, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAy9PCVfHTZz
Once blest with riches, and a mother's name. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdum9k028qS
Thus chang'd, amidst the crying crowd she ran, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEOXBP0SzQU
Mix'd with the matrons, and these words began: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQYZvoey3Zx
"O wretched we, whom not the Grecian pow'r, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdz4DCeHrFy
Nor flames, destroy'd, in Troy's unhappy hour! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAoEzBnZzeam
O wretched we, reserv'd by cruel fate, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAw90Q20fWtW
Beyond the ruins of the sinking state! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmY3XuzdP2f
Now sev'n revolving years are wholly run, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACEEe2Oc9Rp
Since this improsp'rous voyage we begun; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMGXVM74cze
Since, toss'd from shores to shores, from lands to lands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvTq2y57m0T
Inhospitable rocks and barren sands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIFbkynsKql
Wand'ring in exile thro' the stormy sea, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAL8wIIPkNkn
We search in vain for flying Italy. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnjGnSWhp0V
Now cast by fortune on this kindred land, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPEMWgysyyS
What should our rest and rising walls withstand, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGanb32XHdk
Or hinder here to fix our banish'd band? 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAplDgK08q0i
O country lost, and gods redeem'd in vain, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAB4C0EsDpGz
If still in endless exile we remain! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJva5wxKTWe
Shall we no more the Trojan walls renew, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVUaWKg7NG5
Or streams of some dissembled Simois view! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEILsS8SGNR
Haste, join with me, th' unhappy fleet consume! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAm7oTZCnuPu
Cassandra bids; and I declare her doom. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAF1C64y2dDB
In sleep I saw her; she supplied my hands 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqEy6BZo5fI
(For this I more than dreamt) with flaming brands: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmcQ7SAFDaa
'With these,' said she, 'these wand'ring ships destroy: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gdb3JhswE
These are your fatal seats, and this your Troy.' 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAosvfWJ2AsH
Time calls you now; the precious hour employ: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWaUm6wFGaL
Slack not the good presage, while Heav'n inspires 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQsJvLJSh0e
Our minds to dare, and gives the ready fires. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0gj6XijFoo
See! Neptune's altars minister their brands: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA33Psf6dZAH
The god is pleas'd; the god supplies our hands." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADmjDyuEDQn
Then from the pile a flaming fire she drew, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAalzDidsZUh
And, toss'd in air, amidst the galleys threw. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVXZpg6dw4N
Wrapp'd in amaze, the matrons wildly stare: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAYeWf71uVjm
Then Pyrgo, reverenc'd for her hoary hair, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAW6PtRjPmrC
Pyrgo, the nurse of Priam's num'rous race: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgLkA9aXvIh
"No Beroe this, tho' she belies her face! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA88eoLN8MY0
What terrors from her frowning front arise! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7UPtdXrjGF
Behold a goddess in her ardent eyes! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlDQkD5xdU8
What rays around her heav'nly face are seen! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAE2WPqi5neb
Mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mien! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1aXRca1Obp
Beroe but now I left, whom, pin'd with pain, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArRdbRHB9hP
Her age and anguish from these rites detain," 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ84BIx59q6
She said. The matrons, seiz'd with new amaze, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApJ4AWjVpsu
Roll their malignant eyes, and on the navy gaze. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIJXJc7m2AN
They fear, and hope, and neither part obey: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAe2zKFwoBpg
They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATbHdfTAkje
The goddess, having done her task below, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABByxJaAp0U
Mounts up on equal wings, and bends her painted bow. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALEqzPOPgoD
Struck with the sight, and seiz'd with rage divine, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArKCEkXssQE
The matrons prosecute their mad design: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXpJjQMLEZy
They shriek aloud; they snatch, with impious hands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAitZ2OONxRg
The food of altars; fires and flaming brands. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnaD0zmz9p3
Green boughs and saplings, mingled in their haste, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAD2bKHNc4y8
And smoking torches, on the ships they cast. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmQinnOcGxZ
The flame, unstopp'd at first, more fury gains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADtNULwQDmV
And Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7VgKm0fgu2
Triumphant to the painted sterns he soars, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAA5uS6lvA4n
And seizes, in this way, the banks and crackling oars. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkeCcUo0sKP
Eumelus was the first the news to bear, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIhnZRnpbXk
While yet they crowd the rural theater. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA22FvW8ikmw
Then, what they hear, is witness'd by their eyes: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2mQkC1YDnG
A storm of sparkles and of flames arise. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdEV3VTYKOg
Ascanius took th' alarm, while yet he led 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfcUSs5npck
His early warriors on his prancing steed, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKqeOESIlRR
And, spurring on, his equals soon o'erpass'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5GdUGPidNK
Nor could his frighted friends reclaim his haste. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVlZY21jg0C
Soon as the royal youth appear'd in view, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfwMVaLVSdt
He sent his voice before him as he flew: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnWcmV4Ob98
"What madness moves you, matrons, to destroy 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAu9FMlpjlgL
The last remainders of unhappy Troy! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKHU7dLJOn0
Not hostile fleets, but your own hopes, you burn, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPkMlBQDtlT
And on your friends your fatal fury turn. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVdFcNmuZRa
Behold your own Ascanius!" While he said, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAoDL8CpnHHu
He drew his glitt'ring helmet from his head, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAh8WT51j7xL
In which the youths to sportful arms he led. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4SNKwRKB82
By this, Aeneas and his train appear; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuyKYq2Bpkv
And now the women, seiz'd with shame and fear, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2xg2H226ON
Dispers'd, to woods and caverns take their flight, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgTQToZozuS
Abhor their actions, and avoid the light; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOzjePBt0Q9
Their friends acknowledge, and their error find, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOge1jOdYas
And shake the goddess from their alter'd mind. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAYna9z3Ej8X
Not so the raging fires their fury cease, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIs8CGPfUDH
But, lurking in the seams, with seeming peace, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5nD90R4xY3
Work on their way amid the smold'ring tow, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJdDSltz4lH
Sure in destruction, but in motion slow. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhRrBd3Dhw9
The silent plague thro' the green timber eats, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0kowA8VrRY
And vomits out a tardy flame by fits. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwVIgFj10jQ
Down to the keels, and upward to the sails, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAECZZGkIdae
The fire descends, or mounts, but still prevails; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwUDbxOS5dS
Nor buckets pour'd, nor strength of human hand, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPuF6Rg7Zyz
Can the victorious element withstand. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArNOd5UuMDN
The pious hero rends his robe, and throws 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABBIK9FrwQl
To heav'n his hands, and with his hands his vows. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkUvSlVVHna
"O Jove," he cried, "if pray'rs can yet have place; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANhsDpFe2LI
If thou abhorr'st not all the Dardan race; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACJPirBNSHX
If any spark of pity still remain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXP9Cbm9pGC
If gods are gods, and not invok'd in vain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACrl2c89B5O
Yet spare the relics of the Trojan train! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfCR17w2VhL
Yet from the flames our burning vessels free, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAT09QjKYBgL
Or let thy fury fall alone on me! 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcuIpVAFxEU
At this devoted head thy thunder throw, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAw7IMjcKuuB
And send the willing sacrifice below!" 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1I73a74ROk
Scarce had he said, when southern storms arise: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfDy9geLgnX
From pole to pole the forky lightning flies; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGKXg43FIAb
Loud rattling shakes the mountains and the plain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2iv3faEKsg
Heav'n bellies downward, and descends in rain. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwvhrQzkOZG
Whole sheets of water from the clouds are sent, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuOBhCsf4Zm
Which, hissing thro' the planks, the flames prevent, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABGpc8blCtZ
And stop the fiery pest. Four ships alone 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1RHxZfZOMn
Burn to the waist, and for the fleet atone. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVaKYrcnGbE
But doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAviS3MH40Sr
If he should still in Sicily reside, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9raGvK8Jp5
Forgetful of his fates, or tempt the main, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8kguz9Ob2s
In hope the promis'd Italy to gain. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzc8oPKfI2c
Then Nautes, old and wise, to whom alone 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0PdRXwIZi
The will of Heav'n by Pallas was foreshown; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZTUe2uXpWu
Vers'd in portents, experienc'd, and inspir'd 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhHNAgzb3wd
To tell events, and what the fates requir'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARLUsTSlnUg
Thus while he stood, to neither part inclin'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArfSsO1QJmK
With cheerful words reliev'd his lab'ring mind: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdhGpaR8cSa
"O goddess-born, resign'd in ev'ry state, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATsvlF5n0JY
With patience bear, with prudence push your fate. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjt2pXNs3AW
By suff'ring well, our Fortune we subdue; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjpbyPAwBec
Fly when she frowns, and, when she calls, pursue. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABJB4GtOqUj
Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcPntIUtxGk
To him disclose the secrets of your mind: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuaqiNou4rQ
Trust in his hands your old and useless train; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuvwEvt1HlJ
Too num'rous for the ships which yet remain: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAz9drwdAQKG
The feeble, old, indulgent of their ease, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdiKYEVs8c4
The dames who dread the dangers of the seas, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kk6Tj5gwP
With all the dastard crew, who dare not stand 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAozGqMxZDc2
The shock of battle with your foes by land. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAflCIb0pqJK
Here you may build a common town for all, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAajjGLmjoj0
And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAiZXMUF6STG
The reasons, with his friend's experience join'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbUK8Z8QuUT
Encourag'd much, but more disturb'd his mind. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3QgbBeM4vv
'T was dead of night; when to his slumb'ring eyes 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWHXy5h0Mzn
His father's shade descended from the skies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxxCr1NXz84
And thus he spoke: "O more than vital breath, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQfG9wwoUFC
Lov'd while I liv'd, and dear ev'n after death; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1IVTz1dER
O son, in various toils and troubles toss'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAz0eI9ftQPf
The King of Heav'n employs my careful ghost 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAeqYo7T6GP4
On his commands: the god, who sav'd from fire 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAcU0AOvgTuQ
Your flaming fleet, and heard your just desire. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAT3KbW6GDzW
The wholesome counsel of your friend receive, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaNocMQ6JMv
And here the coward train and woman leave: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHh1QaxcOsD
The chosen youth, and those who nobly dare, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANahrK1SMSi
Transport, to tempt the dangers of the war. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7o6e0l96uF
The stern Italians will their courage try; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZutIV6ZJBb
Rough are their manners, and their minds are high. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvIi56SGMF0
But first to Pluto's palace you shall go, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKmYVisDuRv
And seek my shade among the blest below: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMDifA0PmL6
For not with impious ghosts my soul remains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAakCzcS4yOj
Nor suffers with the damn'd perpetual pains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAF23unFrMfz
But breathes the living air of soft Elysian plains. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACWZ3C5r7N5
The chaste Sibylla shall your steps convey, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA12DUdXvfQP
And blood of offer'd victims free the way. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8SsP8jpC2r
There shall you know what realms the gods assign, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwAcsutIP1y
And learn the fates and fortunes of your line. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAA3u0PPmhex
But now, farewell! I vanish with the night, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4aH90xzIDN
And feel the blast of heav'n's approaching light." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKp0uBJgcwj
He said, and mix'd with shades, and took his airy flight. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPthLDkRTig
"Whither so fast?" the filial duty cried; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAXgqwaOwzce
"And why, ah why, the wish'd embrace denied?" 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABJJ8jtWyRs
He said, and rose; as holy zeal inspires, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAX79jOWC06g
He rakes hot embers, and renews the fires; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsmieh7C0RO
His country gods and Vesta then adores 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgc9RbSaFxb
With cakes and incense, and their aid implores. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqYUJ5hlj0P
Next, for his friends and royal host he sent, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1McBn32ZOG
Reveal'd his vision, and the gods' intent, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAo5wjjHcqVB
With his own purpose. All, without delay, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPUpGn5BxKg
The will of Jove, and his desires obey. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACowJvE6yRo
They list with women each degenerate name, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA59pgxvk8dx
Who dares not hazard life for future fame. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ41ikaweKS
These they cashier: the brave remaining few, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4XqazDodbx
Oars, banks, and cables, half consum'd, renew. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAsboJqTNH0w
The prince designs a city with the plow; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nd8zgoBoi
The lots their sev'ral tenements allow. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABB7oCc7YrG
This part is nam'd from Ilium, that from Troy, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIICfZ572rc
And the new king ascends the throne with joy; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGADDop2kdP
A chosen senate from the people draws; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtlzoLeThdp
Appoints the judges, and ordains the laws. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAY4qELIH9x7
Then, on the top of Eryx, they begin 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAzAwaSlnvRd
A rising temple to the Paphian queen. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1Is6s5BHOb
Anchises, last, is honor'd as a god; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARUURmikiFI
A priest is added, annual gifts bestow'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlrZh1NIeNO
And groves are planted round his blest abode. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z4ZXOQgdN
Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4sk76SuulZ
And fumes of incense in the fanes abound. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAj6aCmMlpQ4
Then from the south arose a gentle breeze 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA0BR5WnNlFY
That curl'd the smoothness of the glassy seas; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAEGI6UG9Qgv
The rising winds a ruffling gale afford, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAw5A91kzvLi
And call the merry mariners aboard. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABWnu9wT80Q
Now loud laments along the shores resound, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlmJK71sSeU
Of parting friends in close embraces bound. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWroMgtg2jp
The trembling women, the degenerate train, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAxHhkOZusE6
Who shunn'd the frightful dangers of the main, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANATdAscoO2ce
Ev'n those desire to sail, and take their share 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA09fob30bDr
Of the rough passage and the promis'd war: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVE7KO2Hkk4
Whom good Aeneas cheers, and recommends 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmKjpCDKAjl
To their new master's care his fearful friends. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADncncOSiCf
On Eryx's altars three fat calves he lays; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAyVapSW504B
A lamb new-fallen to the stormy seas; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlCTz1xP8bC
Then slips his haulsers, and his anchors weighs. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHr3SRJmPgp
High on the deck the godlike hero stands, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqqkBsdvRvV
With olive crown'd, a charger in his hands; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWX00zDZRPi
Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANARvPkt5DYb8
And pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4BMfo5Eqyn
Fresh gales arise; with equal strokes they vie, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZb1vUKfumP
And brush the buxom seas, and o'er the billows fly. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAeFXhsWOldB
Meantime the mother goddess, full of fears, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2gr8Wk61xJ
To Neptune thus address'd, with tender tears: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZx0pg7ybBk
"The pride of Jove's imperious queen, the rage, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAaATQoNgNXx
The malice which no suff'rings can assuage, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOqQXLssYCz
Compel me to these pray'rs; since neither fate, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2qFjQzwTuk
Nor time, nor pity, can remove her hate: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZyr7U93RIo
Ev'n Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfgNniLlbzG
Still vanquish'd, yet she still renews the strife. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAQyDxvT6Tbz
As if 't were little to consume the town 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkxI8giQmhs
Which aw'd the world, and wore th' imperial crown, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8vZPmmSXIc
She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIyyVJdxjg4
And gnaws, ev'n to the bones, the last remains. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA2t7foeqdL3
Let her the causes of her hatred tell; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdurlENna1r
But you can witness its effects too well. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAl81DsBAcS1
You saw the storm she rais'd on Libyan floods, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUguSB9mFB9
That mix'd the mounting billows with the clouds; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKQsqYDVg01
When, bribing Aeolus, she shook the main, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAomm1dwlhg7
And mov'd rebellion in your wat'ry reign. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPTBzOeCEnB
With fury she possess'd the Dardan dames, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAhqTkXglSoM
To burn their fleet with execrable flames, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHGomGGCq5c
And forc'd Aeneas, when his ships were lost, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ1djfEiUl
To leave his foll'wers on a foreign coast. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAF7tx7hQns
For what remains, your godhead I implore, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAyBJzSJEnu9
And trust my son to your protecting pow'r. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPJpckA0Ycg
If neither Jove's nor Fate's decree withstand, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANABCwYv2WZJz
Secure his passage to the Latian land." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgcbYj0cGoH
Then thus the mighty Ruler of the Main: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAv030KCkIji
"What may not Venus hope from Neptune's reign? 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOkNEoV390N
My kingdom claims your birth; my late defense 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4mQWTgEVfz
Of your indanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAlydvB6L2PC
Nor less by land than sea my deeds declare 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAIR7Zw2xD8z
How much your lov'd Aeneas is my care. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANADrxEzf9TfH
Thee, Xanthus, and thee, Simois, I attest. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3umkmnYdNu
Your Trojan troops when proud Achilles press'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAKAJeiCcMg7
And drove before him headlong on the plain, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVsVZYTzUht
And dash'd against the walls the trembling train; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAgdYDCocnDk
When floods were fill'd with bodies of the slain; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3oGyv2IId
When crimson Xanthus, doubtful of his way, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAmDYNPegIvq
Stood up on ridges to behold the sea; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvUVkvFlPzy
(New heaps came tumbling in, and chok'd his way;) 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAf5hnvaUnrf
When your Aeneas fought, but fought with odds 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA04P0d9j49L
Of force unequal, and unequal gods; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3o0x3QmtLu
I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAc5FUNt70tU
Sustain'd the vanquish'd, and secur'd his flight; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAMONSPhCc3g
Ev'n then secur'd him, when I sought with joy 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvRbJ0R7nHQ
The vow'd destruction of ungrateful Troy. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPs8lU0WMFe
My will's the same: fair goddess, fear no more, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuR84cV3ZEo
Your fleet shall safely gain the Latian shore; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwb04YczpsV
Their lives are giv'n; one destin'd head alone 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAdD6mdPMh89
Shall perish, and for multitudes atone." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAFIalzXS5ZC
Thus having arm'd with hopes her anxious mind, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4Dmshr3FAb
His finny team Saturnian Neptune join'd, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAuE3QLZW44u
Then adds the foamy bridle to their jaws, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjjfKndMSJB
And to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtXbRlssAJq
High on the waves his azure car he guides; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7wuIfpIOK4
Its axles thunder, and the sea subsides, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAeQKBwUsXIi
And the smooth ocean rolls her silent tides. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZZwyBHYnx
The tempests fly before their father's face, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfAftK6GpDj
Trains of inferior gods his triumph grace, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAseQz0qBwgy
And monster whales before their master play, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAA7OjPc3NOK
And choirs of Tritons crowd the wat'ry way. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAYZmpIfuGVT
The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAO2lPCAAKnP
To right and left; the gods his better side 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbPIPiF1CCh
Inclose, and on the worse the Nymphs and Nereids ride. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOgjLX3XU2e
Now smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAheC6xa3ZRr
Within the hero's mind his joys renew'd. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAGwYq1hd38h
He calls to raise the masts, the sheets display; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5KTwsl3oyQ
The cheerful crew with diligence obey; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAD79EcDsIxP
They scud before the wind, and sail in open sea. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAv9glMelcom
Ahead of all the master pilot steers; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA75VmBnPt2V
And, as he leads, the following navy veers. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAl4xbc9l2Vf
The steeds of Night had travel'd half the sky, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAofhZofGW4j
The drowsy rowers on their benches lie, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA9LtmxdAPfm
When the soft God of Sleep, with easy flight, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA7AJx9z5Ll1
Descends, and draws behind a trail of light. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUqFb2vZtSO
Thou, Palinurus, art his destin'd prey; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAwAT5LlPgq8
To thee alone he takes his fatal way. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8q6lcRFDJl
Dire dreams to thee, and iron sleep, he bears; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAAbLTxye5OZ
And, lighting on thy prow, the form of Phorbas wears. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWS1N8bSa4w
Then thus the traitor god began his tale: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANArwFCA3Qxs0
"The winds, my friend, inspire a pleasing gale; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAPvRPCpvNMg
The ships, without thy care, securely sail. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5PGhIO479I
Now steal an hour of sweet repose; and I 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOUADdalJ0T
Will take the rudder and thy room supply." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAf6GZqAW3TA
To whom the yawning pilot, half asleep: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANApiyy1y6pIb
"Me dost thou bid to trust the treach'rous deep, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAbwDTsB2OEu
The harlot smiles of her dissembling face, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Fr8OFU61
And to her faith commit the Trojan race? 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA4DTho5HkZR
Shall I believe the Siren South again, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA6mSsmhsFFk
And, oft betray'd, not know the monster main?" 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAjNIjFZIgI8
He said: his fasten'd hands the rudder keep, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA3kbIeu0Wlh
And, fix'd on heav'n, his eyes repel invading sleep. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUr2rG0eYUK
The god was wroth, and at his temples threw 1344Please respect copyright.PENANALM0izNzkOk
A branch in Lethe dipp'd, and drunk with Stygian dew: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA8TBDKP1IGA
The pilot, vanquish'd by the pow'r divine, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA5h2Pm70lQS
Soon clos'd his swimming eyes, and lay supine. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANANvLpSHlsDq
Scarce were his limbs extended at their length, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1FMHzzYkQX
The god, insulting with superior strength, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHIcuDE6Tb8
Fell heavy on him, plung'd him in the sea, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAVbNz4Gunze
And, with the stern, the rudder tore away. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA1GHvmyUupT
Headlong he fell, and, struggling in the main, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAqdaxdoKdVE
Cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAfeqLELhXBr
The victor daemon mounts obscure in air, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAJAgfwtZCXK
While the ship sails without the pilot's care. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAUvBrAh2aNw
On Neptune's faith the floating fleet relies; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8xwfQRf4R
But what the man forsook, the god supplies, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAs6saLp9ds1
And o'er the dang'rous deep secure the navy flies; 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAC9ffiBdYOx
Glides by the Sirens' cliffs, a shelfy coast, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAN7v1xJinUC
Long infamous for ships and sailors lost, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAWhfskKGcrp
And white with bones. Th' impetuous ocean roars, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAnz1WhgyGmZ
And rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANACjtS0E2J1S
The watchful hero felt the knocks, and found 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAtmP7gqsyAT
The tossing vessel sail'd on shoaly ground. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAOJBoJinT3a
Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAHwPH9Pi1yw
The helm, and steers aloof, and shuns the shelf. 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAX8adSTgoax
Inly he griev'd, and, groaning from the breast, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAkSm3LGEWn1
Deplor'd his death; and thus his pain express'd: 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAvGBW5NN2eA
"For faith repos'd on seas, and on the flatt'ring sky, 1344Please respect copyright.PENANAy0pDPLOXcB
Thy naked corpse is doom'd on shores unknown to lie." 1344Please respect copyright.PENANA52VhMuDlFW
