  Speaker 1: Recording by Anossimon The Eneid by Publius Virgilius Marrow, translated
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: by John Dryden, Book eleven. Debaters and a Warrior Girl,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Part two. These words so full of malice, mixed with art,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: inflamed with rage the youthful hero's heart. Then, groaning from
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the bottom of his breast, he heaved to wind, and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: thus his wrath expressed. You drances, never want a stream
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of words? Then, when the public need requires our sorts,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: first in the council hall to steer the state, and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: ever foremost in a tongue debate, while our strong walls
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: secure us from the foe. Ere yet with blood our
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: ditches overflow. But let the potent orator declaim, and with
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the brand of coward blot my name. Free leave is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: given him, when his fatal hand has cover'd with more corpse,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the centroan strand and highest mine, his towering trophies stand.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: If any doubt remains, who dares the most let us
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: decided at the Trojan's cost and issue both abreast where
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: honor calls. Foes are not far to seek without the walls,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: unless his noisy tongue can only fight, and feet were
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: given him. But the speed is flight. I beaten from
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the field, I forced away, Who but so known a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: dastard dares to say, had he but even beheld the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: fight his eyes had witnessed for me? What his tongue denies,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: what heaps of Trojans by this hand was slain, And
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: how the bloody tibers swelled the mane all saw but
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he The Arcadian troops retire in scattered squadrons, and their
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: prince expire that giant brothers in their camp have found.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I was not forced with ease to quit my ground.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Not such the Trojans tried me. When enclosed. I singly.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Their united arms opposed, first force an entrance through their
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: thick array, then glutted with their slaughter, freed my way.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Tis a destructive war, so let it be, but to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the Phrygin pirate and to thee meantime, proceed to fill
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: their people's ears with false reports, their minds with panic fears,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: extoll the strength of a twice conquered race, our foes
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: encourage and our friends debates, believe thy fables, and the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: trojan tongue triumphant stands. The Grecians are overthrown, suppliant at
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Hector's feet, a killer's lies, and diomede from fierce anas
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: flies say, rapid offids, with awful dread, runs backward from
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the sea, and hides his head when the great Trojan
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: on his bank appears. For that's as true as thy
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: dissembled fears of my revenge. Dismiss that vanity. Thou drances
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: art below a death from me, let that vile soul
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: in that vile body rest. The lodging is well worthy
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of the guest, now royal father, to the present state
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of our affairs, and of this high debate. If in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: your arms thus early you'd defied, and think your fortune
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is already tried, If one defeat has brought us down
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: so low as never more in fields to meet the foe,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: then I conclude, for peace tis time to treat and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: lie like vassals at the victor's feet. But oh, if
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: any ancient blood remains one drop of all our fathers
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in our veins, that man would I prefer before the rest,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: who dared as death with an undaunted breast, who calmly
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: fell by no dishonest wound to shun that sight, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: dying gnawd the ground. But if we still have fresh
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: recruits in store, if our confederates can afford us more,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: if the contented field we bravely fought, and not a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: bloodless victory was bought, their loss is equaled ours. And
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: for their slain, with equal fires, they filled the shining plain.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Why thus, unforced should we so tamely yield and ere
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the trumpet sounds resign the field good unexpected evils, unforeseen
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: appear by turns. As fortune shifts the scene. Some raised
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: aloft come tumbling down a main, then fall so hard
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they bound and rise again. If Diomede refuse his aid
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to land the great Massapus yet remains our friend Tolumnius,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: who foretells events is ours. The Italian chiefs and princes
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: join their powers, nor least in number, nor in name
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the last, your own, brave subjects, have your cause embraced
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: above the rest. The Volscian Amazon contains an army in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: herself alone, and heads a squadron terrible to sight with
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: glittering shields in brazen armor. Bright. Yet if the foe
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a single fight, demand, and I alone the public peace withstand.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: If you consent, he shall not be refused, nor find
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a hand to victory unused this newer kills. Let him
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: take the field with faded armor and volcanian shield. For you,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: my royal father, and my fame. I turnus not the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: least of all my name, devote my soul. He calls
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: me hand to hand, and I alone will answer his demand.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Drances shall rest secure, and neither share the danger, nor
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: divide the prize of war while they debate. Nor these
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: nor those will yield. Aeneas draws his forces to the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: field and moves his camp. The scouts, with flying speed,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: return and through the frighted city spread their pleasing news.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: The Trojans are descried in battle, marching by the river
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: side and bending to the town. They take the alarm,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: some tremble, some are bold, all in confusion arm The
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: impetuous youth press forward to the field. They clash the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: sword and clatter on the shield. The fearful matrons raise
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a screaming cry. Old feeble men with fainter groan to reply,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a jarring sound results and mingles in the sky like
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that of swans remurmuring to the floods, or birds of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: differing kinds in hollow woods. Turn us the occasion takes
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and cries aloud, talk on you, acquaint her wrangers of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the crowd declaim in praise of peace. When danger calls
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and the fierce foes in arms approach the walls, he said,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and turning short with speedy pace, cast back at scornful glance,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and quits the place. Thou volluses the Vulscian troops, command
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to mount and lead thyself our ardient band. Messapus and Catillus,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: post your force along the fields to charge the trojan harns.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Some guard the passes, others manned the wall, drawn up
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in arms. The rest attend my call. They swarm from
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: every quarter of the town, and with disordered haste. The
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: rampire's crown, good old Latinus, when he saw too late
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the gathering storm just breaking on the state, dismissed the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: council till a fitter time, and owned his easy temper
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: as his crime, who forced against his reason, had complied
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to break the treaty for the promised bride. Some help
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to sink new trenches. Others aid to ram the stones
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: or raise the palisade. Harse trumpets sound alarm. Around the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: walls runs a distracted crew, whom their lost labor calls
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a sad procession. In the streets is seen of matrons
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that attend the mother Queen. High in her chair, she sits,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and at her side, with downcast eyes, appears the fatal bride.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: They mount the cliff where pallace temples stands, prayers in
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: their mouths, and presents in their hands with censes. First
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: they fume the sacred shrine. Then, in this common supplication
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: join O patroness of arms, unspotted maid, propitious, hear and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: lend thy latins aid, break short the pirates lance, pronounce
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: his fate, and lay the phriggin low before the gate.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Now turn his arms for fight. His back and breast
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: well tempered steel and scaly brass. Invest the quishes which
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: his brawny thighs infold are mingled metal damaged o'er with gold.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: His faithful fortune sits upon his side, nor cask, nor
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: crest his manly features hide, but bear to view amid
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: surrounding friends with godlike grace. He from the tower descends,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: exulting in his strength. He seems to dare his absent
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: rival and to promise war freed from his keepers. Thus,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: with broken reins, the wanton calls her prances o'er the plains,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: or in the pride of youth, o'erleaps the mounts and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: snuffs the females in forbidden grounds, or seeks his watering
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in the well known flood to quench his thirst and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: cool his fiery blood. He swims luxuriant in the liquid plain,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and over his shoulder flows his waving mane. He neighs,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he snorts, he bears his head on high before his
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: ample chest. The frothy waters fly. Soon as the prince
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: appears without the gait. The Volscians, with their virgin leader,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: weigh his last commands. Then, with a graceful mien, lights
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: from her lofty steed. The warrior queen her squadron imitates,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and each descents whose common suit. Camilla thus commands, if
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: sense of honor, if his sole secure of inborn worth,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that can all tests endure, can promise aught, or on
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: itself rely greatly to dare to con or to die,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: then I alone sustained by these, will meet the Theerene
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: troops and promise their defeat. Ours be the danger ours
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the sole renown you general, stay behind and guard the town.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Turnus awhile stood mute with glad surprise, and on the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: fierce virago fixed his eyes. Then thus returned O Grace
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of Italy, with what becoming thanks? Can I reply not
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: only words lie laboring in my breast, but thought itself
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: is by their praise oppressed. Yet rob me not of all,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: but let me join my toils, my hazard, and my
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: fame with dye. The trojan not in stratagemen skilled sends
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: his light horse before to scour the field himself through
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: steeper scents and thorny brakes, a larger compass to the city.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Takes this news, my scouts confirm, and I prepared to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: foil his cunning and his force to dare chosen foot
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: his passage to flay and place an ambush in the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: widening way. Thou, with thy Volscians, face the Tuscan halls
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the brave massappas shall thy troops enfas with those of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: tiber and a Latian band subject at all to thy
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: supreme command. This said he warns massapas to the war.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Then every chief exhorts with equal care all thats encouraged
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: his own troops. He joins and hastes to prosecute his
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: deep designs. Inclose with hills, a winding valley lies by nature,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: formed for fraud and fitted for surprise. A narrow track,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: by human steps, untroded, leads through perplexing thorns to this
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: obscure abode. High over the vale, a steepy mountain stands.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Whence the surveying sight the nether ground commands. The top
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is level an offensive seat of war, and from the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: war a safe retreat. For on the right and left
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: is room to press the foes at hand, or from
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a far distress, to drive him headlong downward, and to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: pour on their descending backs a stony shower. Thither young
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: turnus took the well known way, possessed the pass, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in blind ambush lay Meantime, Latonian Phoebe from the skies
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: beheld approaching war with hateful eyes, and called the lightfoot
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: opis to her aid her most beloved and ever trust
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: he made. Then with a sigh began Camilla goes to
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: meet her death. Amidst her fatal foes, the nymphs I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: loved of all my mortal train invested with Diana's arms
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in vain. Nor is my kindness for the virgin knew
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: twas born with her, and with her years it grew
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Her father Metabus, when forced away from old prevernum for
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: tyrannic sway, snatched up and saved from his prevailing foes.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: This tender babe companion of his woes, Casmilla was our mother.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But he drowned one hissing letter in a softer sound,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and called Camilla. Through the woods he flies, wrapped in
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: his robe. The royal infant lies his foes in sight.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: He mens his weary pace with shout and clamors. They
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: pursue the chaise the banks of amessne At length he
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: gains the raging flood. His farther flight restrains raised over
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the borders with unusual reins, prepared to plunge into the stream.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: He fears not for himself, but for the charge he bears. Anxious,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: He stops awhile and thinks in haste, then, desperate in distress,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: resolves at last a knotty lance of well boiled oak.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He bore the middle part with cork, he covered o'er.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He clothed the child within the hollow space with twigs
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of bending osure bound the case. Then poisto spear heavy
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: with human weight, and thus invoked my favor for the freight.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Accept great Goddess of the woods. And thus invoke my
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: favor for the freight. Accept Great Goddess of the woods,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: he said, Send by her this dedicated maid through air.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: She flies a supplant to thy shrine. And the first
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: weapons that she knows are thine, he said, And with
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: full force the spear he threw above the sounding waves,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Camilla flew. Then, pressed by foes, he stemmed the stormy tide,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and gained by stress of arms the farther side. His
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: fastened spear he pulled from out the ground, and victor
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of his vows, his infant nymph unbound. Nor after that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: in towns which walls enclose would trust his hunted life
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: amidst his foes, but rough in open air, he chose
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to lie. Earth was his couch. His covering was the sky.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: On hills unshorn or in a desert den he shunned
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the dire society of men. A shepherd's solitary life He
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: led his daughter with the milk of mares. He fed
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the ducks of bears, and every salvage beast he drew,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and through her lips the liquor pressed. The little Amazon
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: could scarce go. He loads her with a quiver and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a bow, and that she might her staggering steps command.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: He with a slender javelin fills her hand, her flowing hand.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: No golden filet bound, nor swept her trailing robe the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: dusty ground. Instead of these, a tiger's hide overspread her back,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and shoulders fastened to her head. The flying dart she
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: first attempted to fling and round her tender temples, tossed
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the sling. Then, as her strength, with years increased, began
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to pierce aloft in air the soaring swan, and from
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the clouds to fetch the heron and the crane. The
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Tuscan matrons with each other, vied to bless their rival
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: sons with such a bride. But she disdains their love
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to share with me the Sylvan shades, and vowed virginity,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And oh I wish contented with my cares of salvage spoils.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: She had not sought the wars, then had she been
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: of my celestial train and shunned the fate that dooms
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: her to be slain. But since opposing Heaven's decree, she
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: goes to find her death among forbidden foes. Haste with
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: these arms and take thy steepy flight, where with the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: gods averse the latins fight. This bow to thee, this quiver.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I bequeath this chosen arrow to revenge her death. By
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: whatever hand Camilla shall be slain, or of the Trojan
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: or Italian train, let him not pass unpunish from the plain.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Then in a hollow cloud, myself will aid to bear
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the breathless body of my maid, unspoilt, shall be her
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: arms and unprofaned her holy limbs with any human hand,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And in a marble tomb laid in her native land,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: she said, the faithful Nymph descends from high with rapid flight,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and cuts the sounding sky, black clouds and stormy winds
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: around her body. Fly By this, the Trojan and the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Tuscan halls, drawn up in squadrons with united fools, approach
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the walls. The sprightly causers bound press forward on their
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: bits and shift their ground shields. Arms and spears flash
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: horribly from far and the fields glitter with a waving
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: war oppose to these come on with furious face, Messappus,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Chorus and Alyatian horse. These in the body, placed on
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: either hand, sustained and closed by fair Camilla's band. Advancing
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in a line, they couch their spears, and less and
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: less the middle space appears. Thick smoke obscures the field,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and scarce are seen that neighing coursers and the shouting
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: men in distance of their darts. They stop their course. Then,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: man to man they rush, and horse to halls the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: face of heaven. Their flying javelins hide, and deaths unseen
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: are dealt on either side. Tyrhenus and Acontius, void of
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: fear by metaled coursers born in full career, meet first opposed,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and with a mighty shock, their horses heads against each other,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: knock far from his steed is fierce, a constious cast,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: as with an engine's falls or lightnings blast. He rolls
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: along in blood and breathes. Last. The Latin squadrons take
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a sudden fright, and sling their shields behind to save
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: their backs. In flight, spurring at speed to their own walls,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they drew close in the rear the Tuscan troops pursue
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and urge their flight Ascylus leads the chase, till seized
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: with shame, they wheel about and face receive their foes
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and raise a threatening cry. The Duscans take their turn
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to fear and fly so swelling surges with a thundering roar,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: driven on each other's backs, and sold the shore bound o'er.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: The rocks encroach upon the land and far upon the beach,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: eject the sand them backwards with a swing. They take
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: their way, repulse from upper ground and seek their mother
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: sea with equal hurry, quickly invaded shawl and swallowed back
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the sand and stones they spot before twice with the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Tuscan's masters of the field, twice by the Latins, in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: their turn, repelled, ashamed at length to the third charts
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: they ran, both hosts, resolved and mingled man to man.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Now dying groans are heard. The fields are strode with
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: falling bodies and are drunk with blood. Arms, horses, men
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: on heaps together lie confuse the fight, and more confused
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the cry Orsilochus, who durst not press too near a
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: strong remulus at distance, drove his spear and stuck the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: steel beneath his horse's ear. The fairy steed, impatient at
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the wound, curvets and springing upwards with a bound his
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: helpless lord cast backward on the ground. Catillus pierced iolas
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: first then drew his reeking glance and at herminius through
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the mighty champion of the Tuscan crew. His neck and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: throat unarmed, His head was bare, but shaded with a
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: length of yellow hair. Secure. He fought, exposed on every part,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a spacious mark for swords and for the flying dart.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Across the shoulders came the felid wound transfixed, he fell
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and doubled to the ground. The sands, with streaming blood,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: are sanguine, died, and death with honor sought on either side.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Resistless through the war, Camilla rode in danger, unappalled and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: pleased with blood. One side was bare for her exerted breast,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: one shoulder, with her painted quiver pressed now from afar
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: her fatal javelin's play. Now with her ax's edge, she
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: hews her way. Diana's arms upon her shoulders sound, and
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: when too closely pressed, she quits the ground. From her
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: bent bow, she sends a backward wound, her maids in
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: martial pomp on either side. Lareena, Tulla, fierce Tarpeia ride Italians,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: all in peace, their queen's delight in war, the bold
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: companions of the fight so marched the Thracian amazons of old,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: when Thermodon, with bloody billows rolled such troops as these
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: in shining arms were seen. When theseus met to in
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: fight their maiden queen, such to the field. Penthesilea led
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: from the fierce Virgin. When the Gracians fled with such
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: returned triumphant from the war her maids with cries at
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: tender lofty car they clash with many fALS, their moony shields,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: with female shouts resound the phryin fields. Who foremost and
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: who last herod made on the cold earth, where by
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: thy courage laid thy spear of mountain ash Eumenius first
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: with fury, driven from side to side, transpierced, a purple
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: stream came spouting from the wound. Bathed in its blood.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: He lies and bites the ground. Laris and Pegasus. At
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: once she slew the former as the slackened reins. He
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: drew of his faint steed, the letter as he stretched
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: his arm to prop his friend the javelin, reached by
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the same weapon sent from the same hand. Both fall
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: together and both spurn the sand. A mastress next is
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: added to the slain the rest in round. She follows
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: o'er the plain, Tereus, Harpalachus, damophone, and chromis at full speed.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Her fury shun of all her deadly darts, not once
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: she lost each was attendant with a trojan ghost. Young
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Ornithas bestrode a hunter's steed swift for the chase, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: of Apolliant breed him from afar. She spied in arms
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: unknown o'er his broad back and ox's height, was thrown
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: his helm. A wolf whose gaping jaws were spread a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: covering for his cheeks and grinned around his head. He
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: clenched within his hand an iron prong, and towered above
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the rest, conspicuous in their throng him. Soon she singled
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: from the flying train and slew with ease. Then thus
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: insults the slain vain hunter. Didst thou think through woodst
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: to chase the savage herd a vile and trembling race.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Here sees thy vanes and own my victory. A woman
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: warrior was too strong for thee. Yet if the ghosts
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: demand the conqueror's name, confessing Great Camilla, save thy shame,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: then BetUS and Orsilicus. She slew the bulkiest bodies of
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the Trojan crew, but Beautus's breasts the breast. The spear
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: descends above the gorget, whereas helmet ends and o'er the shield,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: which is left side the fence. Or Silicus and she
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: their courses ply. He seems to follow, and she seems
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to fly, but in a narrower ring she makes the race,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: and then he flies, and she pursues the chase. Gathering
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: at length on her deluded foe. She swings her ax
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: and rises to the blow, full on the helm behind.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: With such as sway, the weapon falls the riven and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: steel gives way. He groans, he roars, He soues in
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: vain for grace, brains mingled with his blood besmear his face, astonished, honest,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: just arouse by chance to see his fall. Nor father
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: dares advance, but fixing on the hoard made his eye,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: he stares and shakes, and finds it vain to fly.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Yet like a true Lagurian, born to cheat, at least
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: while fortune favorites deceit, cries out aloud, what courage have
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: you shown? Who trust your causest strength and not your own?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Forego the vantage of your horse alight, and then, on
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: equal terms, begin the fight. It shall be seen, weak woman,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: what you can when foot to foot you combat with
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a man, he said. She glows with anger and disdain,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: dismounts with speed to dare him on the plain, and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: leaves her horse at large among her train, with her
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: drawn sword, defies him to the field, and march lifts
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: aloft her maiden shield. The youth, who thought his cunning
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: did succeed, reins round his horse and urges all his speed,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: adds the remembrance of the spur, and hides the goring
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: rows in his bleeding sides. Vain, fool and coward, cries
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the lofty maid, caught in the train which thou thyself
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: hast laid on others, practice thy lagurian arts, thin stratjems
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and tricks of little hearts are lost on me. Nor
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: shalt thou safe retire with vaunting lies to thy fallacious sire.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: At this, so fast her flying feet she sped that
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: soon she strained beyond his horse's head. Then turning short
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: at once, she sees the rein and laid the boaster
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: groveling on the plain. Not with more ease, the falcon
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: from above trusses in middle air. The trembling dove then
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: plumes the prey in her strong pounds is bound. The feathers,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: foul with blood, come tumbling to the ground. Now mighty Jove,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: from his superior height, with his broad eye, surveys the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: unequal fight. He fires the breast of Targan with disdain,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and sends him to redeem the abandoned plane. Betwixt the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: broken ranks, the Tuscan rides, and these encourages and those
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: he chides. Recalls each leader by his name from flight,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: renews their ardor, and restores the fight. What panic fear
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: has seized your souls, Oh shame o brand perpetual of
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the Trurian name, Cowards incurable. A woman's hand drives, breaks
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and scatters your ignoble band. Now cast away the sword
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and quit the shield. What use of weapons which you
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: dare not wield? Nor does you fly your female foes
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: by night? Nor shun the feast when the full bowels invite,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: When to fat offerings the glad Augur calls, and the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: shrill hornpipe sounds to Bacchanal's These are your study hairs,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: your lewde delight, swift to the bolge, but slow to
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: manly fight. Thus, having said, he spurs amid the foes,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: not managing the life he meant to lose. The first
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: he found he sees with headlong haste in his strong
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: gripe and clasped around the waist, twas venuless, whom from
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: his horse he tore and laid athward his own in
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: triumph ball loud shouts and shoe. The Latins turn their
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: eyes and view the unusual sight with vast surprise. The
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: fiery tarkan flying over the plains. Pressed in his arms,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the ponderous prey sustains, then, with his shortened spear, explores
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: around his jointed arms to fix a deadly wound. Nor
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: less the captive struggles for his life. He rides his
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: body to prolong the strive, and, fancying for his naked throat,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: exerts his utmost vigor and the pointed verts so stoops
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the yellow eagle from on high and bears a speckled
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: serpent through the sky, fastening his crooked talons on the prey.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: The prisoner hisses through the liquid way, resists the Royal hawk,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and though we're pressed, she fights in volumes and erects
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: her crest. Turned to her foe, she stiffens every scale
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: and shoots her forky tongue and whisks her threatening tail
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: against the victor. All defenses weak, the Imperial bird still
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: plies her with his beak. He tears her bowels and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: her breast. He gawes, then claps his pinions and securely saws.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Thus through the midst of circling enemies. Strong targans snatched
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: and bore away his prize. The Tyrene troops that shrunk
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: before now pressed the lessons and presume the like success.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Then errons doomed to death, his arms essayed till murder.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Unespied the Volscian maid this way and that his winding cause.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: He bends and wears her. She turns her steps attends.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: When she retires victorious from the chaise, He wheels about
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: with care and shifts his place. When rushing on she
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: seeks her foes flight. He keeps aloof but keeps her
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: still in sight. He threats and trembles trying every way
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: unseen to kill and safely to betray Glorius. The priests
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: of Sybilly, from far, glittering and frigian arms amidst the
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: war was by the Virgin viewed. The steed he pressed
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: was proud with trappings, and his brawny chest, with scales
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of gilded brass, was covered over a robe of Tyrian dye.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: The rider woar with deadly wounds. He gold the distant
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: foe gnashin his shafts, and lisien was his bow. A
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: golden helm his front, and had surrounds a gilded quiver
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: from his shoulder, sounds gold weaved with linen. On his
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: thighs he wore with flowers of needlework, distinguished o'er with
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: golden buckles bound and gathered up before him. The fierce
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: mate beheld with ardent eyes, fond and ambitious of so
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: rich a prize, or that the temple might his trophies hold,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: or else to shine herself in Trojan gold blind in
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: her haste, she chases him alone and seeks his life,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: regardless of her own. This lucky moment the slight traitor chose. Then,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: starting from his ambush up he rose and through, but
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: first to have addressed his vows. O patron of Socrates,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: high abodes Phoebus, the ruling power among the gods, whom
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: first we serve. Whole woods of unctuous pine are felt
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: for thee, and to thy glory shine by thee. Protected
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: with our naked souls through flames unsinged, we march and
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: treat the kindled coals. Give me propitious power to wash
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: away the stains of this dishonorable day, nor spoils, nor
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: triumph from the fact I claim, But with my future actions,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: rust by fame, let me by stealth this female plague
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: o'er come, and from the field returned in glorious home.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Apollo heard, and granting half his prayer, shoveled in WinCE
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the rest, and tossed in empty air. He gives the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: death desired. His safe return by sudden tempests to the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: seas is borne. Now, when the javelin whizzed along the skies,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: both armies on Camilla turned their eyes, directed by the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: sound of either host. The unhappy virgin, though concerned the most,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: was only deaf. So greedy was she bent on golden
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: spoils and on our prey intent till in her pap
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the winged weapon stood in fixed and deeply drunk the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: purple blood. Her sad attendants hastened to sustain their dying lady.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Drooping on the plain far from their sight, the trembling
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Errands flies with beating heart and fear. Confused with joys,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: nor dares he farther to pursue his blow, or even
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to bear the sight of his expiring foe, as when
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the wolf has torn a bullock's hide at unawares or
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: ranched a shepherd side. Conscious of his audacious deed, he
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: flies and claps his quivering tail between his thighs, so
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: speeding once, the wretch no more attens, but spurring forward,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: hurts among his friends. She wrenched the javelin with her
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: dying hands, but wet within her breast, the weapon stands
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: the wood she draws, the steely point remains. She staggers
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: in her seat with agonizing pains. A gathering mistow clouds
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: her cheerful eyes, and from her cheeks the rosy color flies.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Then turns to her, whom of her female train she
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: trust at most, and thus she speaks with pain. Acca
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: tis past. He swims before my sight inexorable death and
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: claims his right bear my last words to turnus fly
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: with speed, and bid him timely to my charge. Succeed,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: repel the Trojans and the town. Relieve, farewell, and in
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: this kiss my parting breath, receive, she said, and sliding
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: sunk upon the plain, dying her opened hand forsakes the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: rain short and more short. She pants by slow degrees
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: her mind, the passage from her body frees. She drops
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: her sword, She nods, her plumy crest, her drooping head
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: declining on her breast. In the last sigh, her struggling
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: soul expires, and, murmuring with disdain to Stiggy in sounds,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: retires a shout that struck the golden stars. Ensued despair
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and rage, the languished fight renewed. The Trojan troops and
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Tuscans in a line advance to charge. The mixed Arcadians join,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: but Cynthia's maid, high seated from afar, surveys the field
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and fortune of the war. Unmoved awhile till prostrate on
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: the plain, weltering in blood, she seized Camillus slain and
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: round her corpse of friends and foes of fighting train.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Then from the bottom of her breast. She drew a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: mournful sigh, and thee sad words, and chiew too dear
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a fine ah much lamented maid for warring with the Trojans,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Thou hast paid nor aught avail'd in this unhappy strive
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Diana's sacred arms to save thy life. Yet unrevenged, thy
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: goddess will not leave her voutry's death, nor with vain
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: sorrow grieve branded the wretch, and be his name abhorred.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: But after ages shall thy praise record the inglorious coward
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: soon shall press the plain, Thus vows thy Queen, And
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: thus the fates ordain high o'er the field. There stood
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: a hilly mount, sacred the place, and spread with oaks,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: around where in a marble tomb their sannes lay a
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: king that once in Latian bore the sway. The beauteous opus.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Thither bent her flight to mark the traitor errands from
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: the height him in refulgent arms. She soon espied sowln
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: with success, and loudly doth she cried, thy backward steps,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: vain boaster art too late, Turn like a man at length,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and meet thy fate. Charged with my message to Camilla,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: go and say, I send thee to the shades below,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: an honor undeserved. From Cynthia's bow, she said, and from
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: her quiver chose with speed the winged shaft predestined for
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: the deed. Then to the stubborn eye. Her strength applied
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: till the far distant horns approached on either side. The
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: bowstring touched her breast, so strong she drew, whizzing in air.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: The fatal arrow flew at once, the twanging bow and
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: sounding dart. The traitor heard and felt the point within
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: his heart, him beating with his heels in pangs of death.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: His flying friends to foreign fields bequeath the conquering damsel
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: with expanded wings. The welcome message to her mistress brings
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: their leader lost. The Volscians quit the field, and, unsustained,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the chiefs of Turners yield the frighted soldiers when their
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: captains fly more on their speed than on their strength.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Rely confused in flight, they burre each other down and
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: spur their horses headlong to the town, driven by their
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: foes and to their fears. Resigned not once they turned,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: but take their wounds behind. These drop the shield and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: those the lance forego, or on their shoulders, bare the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: slackened bow. The hoofs of horses with a rattling sound
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: beat short and thick, and shake the rotten ground. Black
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: clouds of dust come rolling in the sky and o'er
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the darkened walls, and rampires fly. The trembling matrons from
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: their lofty stands rend heaven with female shrieks and wring
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: their hands, all pressing on. Pursuers and pursued are crushed
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: in crowds, a mingled multitude. Some happy few escape the
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: throng too late, rush on for entrance, till they choke
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the gate, even in sight of home. The wretched sire
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: looks on and seizes helpless sun expire. Then, in affright
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the folding gates they close, but leave their friends excluded.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: With their foes, the vanquished cry. The victors loudly shout
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: this terror all within, and slaughter all without. Blind in
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: their fear, they bounce against the wall or to the moats,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: pursued precipitate their fall. The Latian virgins, valiant with despair,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: armed on the towers the common danger, share so much
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: of zeal. Their country's cause inspired so much. Camilla's great example,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: fired poles sharpened in the flames. From high they throw
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: with imitated darts to gold of foe. Their lives forgot
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: like freedom, they bequeath and crowd each other to be
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: first in death. Meantime to turnus ambushed in the shade
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: with heavy tidings, came the unhappy maid. The Volscians, overthrown
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Camilla killed the foes entirely. Masses of the field, like
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: a resistless flood, come rolling on. The cry goes off
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: the plain and thickens to the town inflamed with rage.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: For so the furies fire, the dawnings breast, and so
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the fates require. He leaves the hilly pass, the woods
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: in vain possessed, and downward issues on the plain. Scarce
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: was he gone when to the straits, now freed from
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: secret foes, the Trojan troops succeed through the black forest
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: in the ferny break, unknowingly secure their way. They take
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: from the rough mountains to the plain descent, and there
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: in order drawn their line extent. Both armies, now in
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: open fields, are seen, nor far the distance of the
