  Speaker 1: by lash Orlando. While these affairs in distant places passed,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the various Irish Dunus sends with haste to find bold Turnus, who,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: with anxious thought the secret shade of his great grandsire resort,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: retired alone. She found the daring man and opened her
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: rosy lips, and thus began. But none of all the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: gods could grant thy vows that Turnus. This auspicious day
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: bestows eneas Gonet seek their Gardian prince has left the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: troy On camp without defense, and short of Succor's stare,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: employs his pains in parts remote to raise the Tuscan swains.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Now snatch an hour that favors Thy designs, unite thy
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: forces and attack their lines. This said, on equal wings,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: she poised her weight and formed a ragiant rainbow in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: her flight. The Dawnian hero lifts his hands eyes and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: thus invokes the goddess as she flies Iris the grace
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of heaven. What power divine has sent thee down through
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: dusky clouds to shine see they divide, immortal day appears,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and glittering planets dancing in their spheares with joy these
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: happy omens. I obey and follow to the wall the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: god that leads the way. Thus having said, as by
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the brookistood he scooped the water from the crystal flood.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Then with his hands that drops to heaven, he throws
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and loads the powers above with offered vows. Now march
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the bold Confederates through the plain, well horsed, well clad,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a rich and shining train. Messapus leads the van, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in the rear the suns of Tirius in bright arms appear.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: In the main battle with his flaming crest, the mighty
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Turnus towers about the rest silent. They move majestically slow,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: like ebbing Nile or Ganghis in his flow. The Troyans
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: view the dusty cloud from far and the dark menace
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of the distant war. Chikus from the rampires saw it rise,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: blackening the fields and thickening through the skies. Then to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: his fellows, thus aloud he calls, what rolling clouds? My
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: friends approach the walls, arm, arm and man the works.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Prepare your spears and pointed darths. The Largian host appear
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: thus worn. They shut their gates with shouts, ascend the bulwarks,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and secure their foes. Attend for their wise general, with
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: foreseeing care, had charged them not to tempt the doubtful wire, nor,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: though provoked in open Field's advance, but close within their lines,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: attend their chance. Unwilling the yet they keep the strict
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: command and sorely await in arms the hostile band. The
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: fair Returners flew before the rest a peebald steed of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: dark gunstrain. He pressed his helm of massy gold, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: crimson was his crest, with twenty horse to second his designs.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: An unexpected foe he faced the lines. Is there, he said,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in arms, who bravely there his leader honor and his
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: danger share. Then, spurring on his brandish dart, he threw
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in sign of war, applauding shouts in sh a maze
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to find a dustard race that run behind the rampires
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and the Battlesham, who rides around the camp with rolling
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: eyes and stops at every post and every passage, tries
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: so roams the nightly wolf about the foe, wet with
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: descending showers and stiff with cold. He howls for hunger,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and he grins for pain. His gnashing teeth are exercised
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in vain and impotent of angel finds no way, in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: his distended pause to grasp the prey. The mothers listen,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: but the bleathing lamps securely swig the dug beneath the dams.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Thus ranges eager turners o'er the plain. Sharp with desire
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and furious with disdain, so bays each passage with a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: piercing sight to force his foes in equal field to fight. Thus,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: while he gazes round at lengthy spies, where fenced with
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: strong redoubts, their necks davy eyes close underneath the walls,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the washing tide secures from all approach this weaker side.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He takes the wished occasion, fills his hand with ready fires,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and shakes a flaming brand urge. By his present, every
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: soul is worn, and every hand with kindled furs is armed.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: From the thurred pines, the scattering sparkles fly, fat vapors
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: mixed with flames involve the sky. What power amuses could
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: avert the flame which threatened in the fleet The troyer
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: name tell for the fact, through length or time obscure
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is hard of faith. Yet shall the fame endure? Tis
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: said that when the chief prepared his flight and fell
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: his timber from what DA's height, the grandam Goddess then
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: approached her son, and with a mother's majesty begun grant me.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: She said, the sole request I bring, since conquer'd Heav'n
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: has owned you for its king on Edoth's brows for
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: ages past, there stood with firs and maples fill'd a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: shady wood, and on the summit rose a sacred grew,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: where I was worship'd with religious low. Those woods that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: holy grew my long delight. I gave the troy and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Prince to speedy flight, now filled with fear on their behalf,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I come. Let neither winds o'erset nor waves in town
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the floating forests of the sacred pine, But let it
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: be their safety to be mine. Then, thus replied her
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: awful son, who rose the raiding stars and Heav'n and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: earth controls. How dare you, mother, endless state demand for
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: vessels molded by a mortal hand? What then is fate
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: shall bowld ane'a us ride of safety certain on the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: uncertain tide. Yet what I can I grant? When wafted
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: o'er the chief is landed on the Latchian shore, whatever
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: ships escaped the raging storms at my command shall change
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: their fading forms to nymphs divine, and plow the water
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: away like Dotis and the dorges of the sea, to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: seal the sacred bow by Styx. He swore the lake
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of liquid bitch, the dreary shore, and Flagaton's innavigable flood,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and the black regions of his brother God, he said,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and shook the skies with his imperial nod. And now
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: at length the numbered hours were come prefixed by Fate's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: irrevocable doom. When the great mother of the gods was
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: free to save a ship's and finished Jove's decree. First
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: from the quarter of the morn there sprung a light
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that signed the heavens and shots along. Then from a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: cloud fringe round with golden fires, where timbrels heard and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: very Scinthian choirs, and last a voice with more than
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: mortal sounds. Both hosts in armed a post with equal
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: horror wanes ho Troy and rays your needless aid forbear
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and know my ships are my peculiar care. With greater ease.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: The bold Rutulian may, with hissing brands attempt to burn
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the sea. Then singe my sacred pines. But you may
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: charge loose from your crooked anchors, launch at large, exalted
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: each a nymph, forsake the sand, and swim the seas
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: at Sebulus command. No sooner had the Goddess ceased to speak.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: When low the obedient ships, their hals are spree and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: strange to tell, Like dolphins in the main, they plunged
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: their prows and dive and spring again, as many beauteous maids.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: The billows sweep as rode before tall vessels on the deep,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the foes surprised with wonders to the gast messapus Curby's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: fiery courses haste Old Tea broared, and raising up his head,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: called back his waters to their osy bed turners alone
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: on daunted border shock, And with these words his trembling
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: truth bespoke these monsters. For the Troyan's fate are meant,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and are by Jove for black prestagoues scent. He takes
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the coward's last relief away for fly they cannot and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: constrained to stay, must yield unfought a basing glorious prey.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: The liquid half of all the globe is lost. Heaven
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: shuts the seas, and we secure the coast. Theirs is
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: no more than that small spot of crown which myriads
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of our martial men surround their fates. I fel not
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: all vain oracles tit was given to Venus. They should
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: cross the seas and land secure upon the Lattian plains.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Their promise hour is past and mine remains. Tis in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the fate of Turnus to destroy. We soar and fire
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the faithless race of Troy. Shall such affronts as these
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: alone in flame? The Grecian brothers and the Grecian name
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: my cause, and theirs is one A fatal strife and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: final ruin for a ravished wife. Was not enough that
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: punish'd for the crime. They fell? But will they fall
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a second time? One would have thought they paid enough
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: before to curse the costly sex and durst defender more.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Can they securely trust their feeble wall a slight partition,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a thin interval betwixt their fate and them When Troy
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: thou will, by hands divine, yet passed by their guilt,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: lend me for once, my friends, your valiant hands, to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: force from out their lines. These dustard bands, less than
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a thousand ships will end this wall. Nor Vulcan needs
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: his fated arms. Prepare. Let all the Tuscans, all the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Archaijans join, Nor these nor those shall frustrate my design.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Let them not fear the treasons of the night, the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: rodd palladium, the prescentded flight our homs that shall be
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: made in the open light. No wooden engine shall their
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: town betray fires they shall have around, but fires by day.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: No Grecian babes before their camp appear whom Hector's arms
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: detained to the tenth tardy deer. Now, since the sun
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: is rolling to the west, give we the silent night
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to needful rest. Refresh your bodies and your arms. Prepare.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: The mawn shall end the small remains away where the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: post of honor to Messapus falls, to keep the nightly guards,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to watch the walls, to pitch the fires at distances around,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and close the Troyants in their scanty ground. Twice seven
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Rutulian captains ready stand, and twice seven hundred horse. These
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: chiefs command, all clad in shining arms the works, invest
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: each with a radiant helm and waving crest stretched at
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: their length. They pressed the grassy ground. They laughed, they sing,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the jolly bowls ground with lights and cheerful fires, renewed
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the day and passed the wakeful night in feasts and play.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: The Troyans from about their foes beheld, and with the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: armed legions all the vampires filled seized with the fright
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: their gates. They first explore, joined works to works, with bridges,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: tower to tower, thus all things needful for defense. Saban,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Minestus and Bribe Sirestus walked around, commissioned by their absent
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: prince to share the common danger and divide the care.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: The soldiers draw their lots, and as they fall by turns,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: relieve each other on the wall nigh, whether foes their
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: utmost guard's advance to watch the gate was war like.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Nisus chance his father Hirtachus of noble blood, his mother
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: was a huntress on the wood, and sent him to
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the wars. Well could he bear his glance in fight
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and dart the flying spear, but better skilled unerring shafts
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to send beside him stood every LUs his friend every LUs.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Then whom the troy and host no fairer face or
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: sweeter air could boast. Scarce had the down to shade
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: his cheeks begun. One was their care and their delight
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: was one one common hazard in the war they shared.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And now we're both by choice upon the guard the nieces. Thus,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: or do the gods inspire this swarmth or make we
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: gods of our desire? A generous ardor balls within my breast,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: eager of action, enemy to rest. This urges me to fight,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and fires my mind to leave a memorable name behind.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Thou seest the foe secure? How faintly shine there scattered fires,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the most in sleeps upine along the ground. An easy
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: conquest lie the wakeful few of huming flagon ply all
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: hush'd around. Now hear what I revolve a thought unripe
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and scarcely yet resolve our absent Prince. Both Camp and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: council morn by message. Both would hasten his return if
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: they confer what I demand on thee for fame is
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: recompense enough for me? Methinks? Be neath yon Hill, I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: have a spied a way that safely will my passage
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: guide evry ALUs stood listening while he spoke with love
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of praise and noble envy struck. Then to his ardent
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: friend expos'd his mind all this alone and leaving me behind.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Am I unworthy nisus to be join'd? Thinkest thou I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: can share of glory ye, or send thee unassisted to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the field. Not so, my father taught my childhood arms,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: born in a seag and bred among alarms. Nor is
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: my youth unworthy, o, my friend, nor of the heav'n
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: born hero. I attend the thing called life with ease,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I can disclaim and think it over. Soul'd to purchase frame,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: then nisus thus alas thy tender years would minister new
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: matter to my fears. So may the gods who view
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: this friendly strife restore me to thy loved and praise,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: with life condemned to pay my wives as sure I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: trust this Thy request is cruel and unjust. But if
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: some chance, as many chances are and doubtful hazards in
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the deeds o war, if one should reach my head,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: thou let it fall and spare thy life, I would
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: not perish. All Thy bloomy youth deserves a longer day
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: live Thou to mourn thy love's unhappy faith, to bear
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: my mangled body from the foe, or bide back and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: funeral rites bestow. Or if hard fortune shall those dues deny,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: thou canst at least an empty tomb supply O. Let
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: not me the widow's tears renew, Nor let a mother's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: curse my name pursue thy peers, parents who, for love
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of thee forsak the coast of friendly Cicily, her age,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: committing to the seas and wind. When every weary matron
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: stay behind to this every dus you plead in vain
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and but protract the cause you cannot gain no more delays,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: but haste with that, He wakes the nodding watch. Each
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of his office takes the guard. Relieved the generous couple
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: when to find the council at the royal tent, All
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: creatures else forgot their daily care and sleep, the common
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: gift of nature share except the troy and peers a
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: wakeful sake. In knightly counsel for the in dangered state.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: They vote a message to their absent chief, shew their distress,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and beg a swift relief amid the camp, a silent
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: seat they chose, remote from clamor and secure from foes.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: On their left arms their ample shields they bear, the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: right reclined upon the bending spear. Now Nisus and his
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: friend approach the guard and beg admission. Eager to be heard.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: The affair important not to be deferred. A skarni spids
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: em be conducted in ordering the more experienced to begin
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the Nisus. Thus, ye, fathers, lend your ears, nor judge
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: our bold attempt beyond our years. The foe, securely drenched
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: in sleep and wine, neglect their watch. The fires but
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: thinly shine, and whether smoke in clouded vapors, flies cowering
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the plain and curling to the skies. Betwixt two paths
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: which at the gate divide close by the sea, a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: passage we have spied which will our way to great
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Anea's guide. Expect each hour to see him safe again,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: loaded with spoils of foes in battle slain snatch we
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the lucky minute. While we may, nor can we be
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: mistaken in the way for hunting in the vale. We
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: both have seen the rising turrets and the stream between,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and know the winding course with every ford. He seiz'd,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and old Aldus took the world our country. Gods in
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: whom our trust we place will yet from ruin save
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the troy and grace while we behold such dauntless worth
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: appear in dawning youth and souls suvoid of fear, then
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: into tears of joy. The Father broke each in his
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: longing arms by turns Ito panted and paus'd, And thus
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: again he spoke, Ye, brave young men, what equal gifts
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: can we in recompense of such desert decree? The Great
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: is sure and best you can receive. The gods and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: your own conscious worth will give the rest our grateful
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: general will bestow and young Ascarnius till his manhood. O
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and I, whose welfare in my father lies ascann is
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: added by the great deities, by my dear country, by
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: my household gods, by hoary, vestous rites and dark abouts,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: ajure you both. On you my fortune stands that and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: my faith I plied into your hands, make me but
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: happy in his safe return, whose wonted presence I can
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: only marn. Your common gift shall too large goblets be
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of silver, wrought with curious imagery and high embossed, which
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: when old Priam reigned, my conquering sire at sacked, Arisiba gained,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and more two treat puts cast in antique mold, with
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: two great talents of the finest gold, beside a costly
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: bowl engraved with art, which deed O gave when first
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: she gave her heart. But if in conquer'd Italy we reign,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: when spoils by lot, the victor shall obtain thou sowest
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the courser by proud turnus prest that nisus and his
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: arms and nod in crest and shield from chance exempt
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: shall be thy share. Twelve laboring slaves, twelve handmaids, young
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and fair, all clad in rich attire and train'd with care,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and last alats yon field with fruitful plains, and a
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: large portion of the king's domains. But thou, whose years
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: are more to mine, allied no faith, My avowed affection
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: shall divide from thee herout youth, before thee mine take
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: full possession. All my soul is thine, one faith, one fame,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: one faith, shall both attend my life's companion and my
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: bosom friend. My peace shall be committed to thy care
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and to thy conduct. My concerns in wear. Then Thus
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the young Evrialus replied, whatever fortune good or bad betide,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the same shall be my age as now my youth.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: No time shall find me wanting to my truth. This
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: only from your good goodness let me gain, and this ungranted.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: All rewards are vain of preams royal race. My mother
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: came and sure the best that ever bore the name,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: whom neither troy nor sicily could pold from me. Departing
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: but o'erspent and old my fate, she followed, ignorant of this,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: whatever danger, neither parting kiss nor Peou's blessing taken her.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I leave, and in this only act of all my life,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: deceived by this right hand and conscious knight, I swear
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: my soul so sad a farewell could not bear. Be
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you her comfort, fill my vacant place. Permit me to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: presume so great a grace, support her age. Forsaken and distressed,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: that hope alone will fortify my breast against the worst
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of fortunes and of fears. He said, the mood assistance
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: melt in tears. Then thus Ascarnus wonder struck to see
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: that image of his filial piety, so great beginnings in
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: so green an age, exact the faith which I again
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: engage thy mother. All the Jews shall justly claim craves
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: a had, and only want the name. Whatever event thy
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: bold attempt shall have. Tis merit to have borne a
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: son so brave. Now by my head a sacred oath,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I swear my father used it. What returning here crowned
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: with success, I for thyself prepare that if thou fail,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: shall thy loved mother share, he said, and, weeping while
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: he spoke the word from his broad belty, drew a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: shining sword, magnificent with gold de caawn made, and in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: an iv rescoverd she's the plate. This was his gift.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Great Minestus gave his friend a lion's hide his body
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to defend, and good Aleidus furnished him beside with his
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: own trusty helm of temper triede. Thus armed they went.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: The noble troyants wait their issuing forth, and followed to
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the gate with prayers and vows. About the rest appears
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Ascarnius manly far beyond these years and messages committed to
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: their care, which all in winds were lost and flitting
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: air the trenches. First they passed and took their way
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: where their proud foes, impitched pavilions lay to many fatal air,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: themselves were slain. They found the careless hosts dispersed upon
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the plain, who gorged and drunk with wine, supinely snore.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Unharnessed chariots stand along the shore amidst the wheels and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: rains the goblets by a medley of debouched and war.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: They lie observing nieces. Should his friend the side behold
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: a conquest gained without a fight, occasion offers, and I
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: stand prepared dead. There lies away. Be thou upon the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: guard and look around while eyes securely go and due
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a passage through the sleeping fowl. Softly spoke and striding,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: took his way with his drawn sword, where haughty Ramnes lay,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: his head raised high on tapestry beneath, and heaving from
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: his breast, he drew his breath. A king and prophet.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: By king Turnu's loved, but fate, by prescience, cannot be
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: remote him and his sleeping slaves. He slew and spies,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: where Ramus, with his rich writ dem eyes, his armor
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: bare first and next kills his charitre entrenched betwixt the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: wheels and his loved horses last invades their lord. Full
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: on his neck, he drives the fatal sword. The gasping
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: head flies off. A purple flood flows from the trunk
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that welters in the blood, which by the spurning heels
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: dispersed around the bed. Besprings ambiduce the ground. Lamus the bold,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and Lamyrus the strong. He slew, and then Sirrana's fair
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: and young from dies and wine. The youth retired to
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: rest and puff the fumet god from out his breast.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Even then he dreamt of drink and lucky play. More
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: lucky had it lasted till the day the famished lion. Thus,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: with hunger bold overleaps the fences of the nightly fold
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and tears the peaceful flocks with silent aid trembling. They
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: lie and pant beneath his pow Nor with less rage,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Evriaalus employs the wrathful sword or fewer false destroys, But
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: on the ignoble crowd his fury flew. He Fadus, Hebeasus
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and Rueta slew oppressed with heavy sleep. The former fell,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: but Ruetus, wakeful and observing all, behind a spacious jar,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: he sling'd for fear the fate. Little iron found and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: reached him there, for as he rose, it pierced his
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: naked side, and reeking thence return'd in crimson dyed, the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: wound pushed out a stream of wine and blood. The
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: purple soul comes floating in the flood. Now, when Messapus
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: quartered they arrived, the fires were fainting there, and just alive.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: The warrior horses tied in order. Fed Nieces observed the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: discipline and said, our eager thirst of blood may both
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: betray and see the scattered streaks of dawning day foe
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to nocturnal thefts. No more, my friend. Here, let our
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: glutted execution end a lane through slaughtered bodies. We have
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: made the bold Ebrialus, though loath obeyed. Of arms and arras,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and of plate they find a precious load, but these
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: they leave behind. Yet, fond of god is balls, the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: boy would stay to make the rich caparison his prey,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: which on the steed of conquered Ramnes lay. Nor did
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: his eyes less longingly behold the girdle belt with nails
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of burnished gold. This present Sadikus. The rich bestow on Raymulus.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: When friendship first they bowed and absent, joined in hospital ties. He,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: dying to his heir, bequeathed the prize till by the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: conquering Ardian troops oppressed, he fell, and they the glorious
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: gift possessed. These glittering spoils now made the victor's gain.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: He to his body, suits, but suits in vain messapus helm.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: He finds among the rest and lays his on and
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: wears the waving crest. Proud of their conquest, prouder of
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: their prey, they leave the camp and take the ready
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: way en and of Book nine, Part one read by
• 29:04
