  Speaker 1: The Enid by Publius Virgilius Morrow, translated by John Dryden.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Book one, A Fateful Haven, Part one Alms and the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: man I seeing who forced by fate and haughty Juno's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: unrelenting hate, expell'd and exiled left the Trojan shore. Long
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: labors both by sea and land he bore and in
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the doubtful war, before he won the Latian realm and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: built the destined town. His banish'd gods restor'd to rights,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: divine and settled shore succession in his line. From whence
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the race of alban fathers come and the long glories
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of majestic rome O muse the causes and the crimes
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: relate What goddess was provoked and whence her hate for
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: what offense the Queen of Heaven began to persecute so brave,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: so just a man, involved his anxious life in endless cares,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: exposed to once and hurried into wars. Can heavenly mind
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: such high resentment show or exercise their spite in human
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: woe against the Tiber's mouth? But far away, an ancient
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: town was seated on the sea, a Tyrian colony. The
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: people made stout for the war and studious of their trade. Carthage,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the name beloved by you know more than her own
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Argos or the Samian shore. Here stood her chariot. Here,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: if heaven were kind, the seat of awful empire she designed.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yet she had heard an ancient rumor fly, long sighted
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: by the people of the sky, that times to come
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: should see the Trojan race, her Carthaine ruin and her
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: towers deface, Nor thus confined the yoke of sovereign sway
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: should on the necks of all the nations lay. She
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: pondered this, and feared it was in fate, nor could
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: forget the war she waged of late for conquering Greece
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: against the Trojan State. Besides long causes working in her
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: mind and secret seeds of envy lay behind deep graven
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in her heart. The doom remained of partial Paris, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: her form disdained the grace bestowed on ravished Ganymed, Electra's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: glories and her injured bed. Each was a cause alone,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and all combined to kindle vengeance in her haughty mind.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: For this, far distant from the Latian coast, she drove
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the remnants of the Trojan host, and seven long years
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the unhappy wandering train were tossed by storms and scattered
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: through the main. Such time such toil required the Roman name,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: such length of labor for so vast a frame, now scarce.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: The Trojan fleet, with sails and oars, had left behind
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the fair Sicilian shores, entering with cheerful shouts the watry
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: rain and plowing frothy furrows in the main. When laboring
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: still with endless discontent, the Queen of Heaven did thus
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: her fury vent. Then am I vanquished? Must I yield?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Said she? And must the Trojan's reign in Italy? So
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: fate will have it, and Jove adds his force. Nor
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: can my power divert their happy course? Could angry palace,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: with revengeful spleen the Grecian name, burn and drown the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: men She for the fault of one offending foe. The
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: bolts of Jove himself presum'd to throw with whirlwinds from beneath,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: She toss'd the ship and bare expose the bosom of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the deep. Then, as an eagle gripes the trembling game,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the wretch, yet hissing with her father's flame, she strongly
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: seiz'd and with a burning wound trims, fix'd and naked
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on a rock she bound. But I, who walk in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: awful state above the majesty of Heav'n, the sister wife
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: of Jove. For length of years my fruitless force employ
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: against the thin remains of ruin'd Troy. What nations now
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to Juno's power will pray or offerings on my slighted altars.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Lay Thus rag'd the goddess, and with fury fraught the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: restless regions of the storms she sought. Where in a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: spacious cave of living stone, the tyrant Eolus, from his
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: airy throne, with power imperial curbs the struggling winds and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: sounding tempests in dark prisons, binds this way, and that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the impatient captives tend and pressing for adies, the mountains
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: rend high in his hall, the undaunted monarch stands and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: shakes his sector, and their rage commands, which did he not.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Their unresisted sway would sweep the world before them. In
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: their way, earth, air and seas through empty space would roll,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and heaven would fly before the driving soul. In fear
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of this, the father of the gods confined their fury
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to those dark abodes and lock them safe within press'd
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with mountain loads, impos'd a king with arbitrary sway to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: loose their fetters or their force allay to whom the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: suppliant queen her prayers address'd, and thus the tenor of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: her suit express'd o eolus. For to thee, the king
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of heaven, the power of tempests and of winds has
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: given thy force. Alone. Their fury can restrain and smooth
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the waves, or swell the troubled. Nine. A race of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: wandering slaves, abhorred by me, with prosperous passage, cut the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Tuscan sea to fruitful Italy. Their course they steer, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: for their vanquish'd gods design new temples there, raise all
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: thy winds with night, involve the skies, sink or disperse
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: my fatal enemies. Twice seven, the charming do waters of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the main around my person, wait and bear my train,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: succeed my wish, and second my design the fairest day
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a payer shall be thine and make thee father of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a happy line. To this the god tis yours, o Queen,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to will the work which duty binds me to fulfill.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: These airy kingdoms and this wide command are all the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: presence of your bounteous hand yours is my sovereign's grace.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And as your guest, I sit with gods that there
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: celest your feast, raise tempests at your pleasure, or subdue
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: dispose of empire which I hold from you. He said,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and hurl'd against the mountainside his quivering spear, and all
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the god applied. The raging winds rush through the hollow
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: wound and dance aloft in air, skim along the ground,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: then settling on the sea. The surges sweep rays, liquid
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: mountains and disclose the deep south, east and west with
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: mixed confusion, roar and roll the foaming billows to the shore.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: The cables crack, the sailor's fearful cries ascend, and sable
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: night involves the skies, and heaven itself is ravished from
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: their eyes. Loud peals of thunder from the poles ensue.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Then flashing fires. The transient light renew the face of things.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: A frightful image bears, and present death in various forms appears.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Struck with unusual fright. The trojan chief, with lifted hands
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and eyes, invoke's relief and thrice and four times happy
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: those he cried that under Ilian walls before their parents died.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Tidy these bravest of the Grecian train, Why could not I,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: by that strong arm, be slain and lie by noble
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: hector on the plain or great sarpedon in those bloody
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: fields where Simois rolls the bodies and the shields of heroes,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: whose dismembered hands yet bear the dart aloft and clench
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the pointed spear. Thus, while the pious prints his fate bewails,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: fierce Boreas drove against his flying sails and rent the sheets.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: The raging billows rise and mount the tossing vessels to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the skies. Nor can the shivering oars sustain the blow.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: The galley gives her side and turns her prow while
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: goes astern, descending from the steep through gaping waves, Behold
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the boiling deep. Three ships were harried by the southern blast,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and on the secret shells with fury cast those hidden
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: rocks the Arsonians sailors knew. They called them altars. When
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they rose in view and showed their spacious backs above
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the flood. Three more fierce Eurus, in his angry mood,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: dashed on the shallows of the moving sand, and in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: mid ocean left the maud a land or on teses
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: bark that bore the Lycian crew horri sight. Even in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the hero's view, from stem to stern by waves was overborne.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: The trembling pilot from his rudder torn was headlong, hurled
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: thrice round. The ship was tossed, then bulged at once,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and in the deep was lost. And here and there
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: above the waves were seen arms, pictures, precious goods, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: floating men. The stoutest vessel to the storm gave way
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and sucked through loosened planks. The rushing sea. Illinius was
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: her chief alithis old Akart's faithful abbesss young and bold,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: endured not less. There ships with gaping seams admit the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: deluge of the barney streams. Meantime, Imperial Neptune heard the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: sound of raging billows breaking on the ground. Displeased and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: fearing for his watery reign, he reared his awful head
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: above the main serene in majesty, then rolled his eyes
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: around the space of Earth and seas and skies. He
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: saw the Trojan fleet dispersed, distressed by stormy winds and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: wintry heaven oppressed full well the god his sisters envy knew,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and what her aims and what her arts pursue. He
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: summoned Eurus and the Western Blast, and first an angry
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: glance on both he cast then thus rebuked audacious winds.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: From whence this bold attempt, this rebel insolence? Is it
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: for you to ravage seas and land, unauthorized by my
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: supreme command to raise such mountains on the troubled main,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: whom I first is fit the billows to restrain. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: then you shall be taught obedience to my reign. Hence
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to your lord, my royal mandate bear the realms of
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: ocean and the fields of air are mine, not his,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: by fatal lot to me the liquid empire fell and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: trident of the sea. His power to hollow caverns is
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: confined there. Let him reign the jailer of the wind,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: with hoarse commands. His breathing subjects call and boast and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: bluster in his empty hall. He spoke, And while he spoke,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: he smoothed the sea, dispell'd the darkness, and restored the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: day Chymothwi Triton, and the sea green train of beauteous
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: nims the daughters of the main clear from the rocks
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the vessels with their hands. The God himself, with ready trident,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: stands and opes the deep and spreads the moving sands.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Then heaves them off the shells, where'er he guides his
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: finny courses, and in triumph rides the waves unruffle, and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the sea subsides. As when in tumults rise the ignoble
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: crowd mad are their notions, and their tongues are loud,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and stones and brands in rattling volleys fly, and all
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the rustic arms that fury can supply. If then some
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: grave and pious man appear, they hush their noise and
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: lend a listening ear. He soothes with sober words their
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: angry mood, and quenches their innate desire of blood. So
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: when the father of the flood appears and o'er the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: seas his sovereign trident rears, their fury falls. He skims
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the liquid plains high on his chariot, and with loosened rains,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: majestic moves along, and awful peace maintains the weary Trojans
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: ply their shattered oars to nearest land and make the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Libyan shores. Within a long recess there lies a bay.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: An island shades it from the rolling sea and forms
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a port secure for ships to ride. Broke by the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: jutting land on either side in double streams, the briny
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: waters glide betwixt two rows of rocks. A Sylvan scene
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: appears above, and groves for evergreen. A grott is formed
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: beneath with mossy seats to rest the nereids and exclude
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the heats. Down through the crannies of the living walls,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the crystal streams descend in murmuring falls. No haulsers need
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to bind the vessels here, nor bearded anchors, for no
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: storms they fear. Seven ships within this happy harbour meat
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the thin remainders of the scattered fleet. The Trojans, worn
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: with toils and spent with woes, leap on the welcome
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: land and seek their wish to repose first goodacates with
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: repeated strokes of clashing flints. Their hidden fire provokes short
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: flame succeeds a bed of withered leaves. The dyeing sparkles
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in their fall, receives caught into life in fiery fumes.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: They rise, and, fed with stronger food, invade the skies.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: The Trojans dropping wet or stand round the cheerful blaze,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: or lie along the ground. Some dry their corn infected
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: with the brine, then grind with marbles and prepare to dine.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Eneus climbs the mountain's airy brow and takes a prospect
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: of the seas below. If cap Is then saw Antheus
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: he could spy or see the streamers of Caicus fly.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: No vessels were in view, but on the plain three
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: beamy stags command a lordly train of branching heads. The
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: more ignoble throng attend their stately steps and slowly graze along.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: He stood, and while secure they fed below. He took
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the quiver and the trusty bow a Cartes used to
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: bear the leaders. First he laid along, and then the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: vulgar pierced nor seized his arrows till the shady plains
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: seven mighty bodies, with their blood disdain. For the seven ships,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: he made an equal share, and to the port return'd
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: triumphant from the war. The jars of generous wine Acestesi's gift.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: When his Trinacrian shores the navy left, he set a
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: brooch and for the feast prepared in equal portions with
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the venison shed Thus, while he dealt it round the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: pious chief with cheerful words, allayed the common grief, endure,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and conquer Jove will soon dispose to future good are
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: past in present woes with me the rocks of Skiller.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: You have tried the inhuman cyclops and his den defied.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: What greater ills hereafter can you bear? Resume your courage,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and dismiss your care. An hour will come with pleasure
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to relate your sorrow's past as benefits of fate. Through
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: various hazards and events, we move to Latium and the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: realms foredoomed by Jove, called to the seat the promise
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: of the skies, where Trojan kingdoms once again may rise.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Endure the hardships of your present state, live, and reserve
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: yourselves for better fate. These words he spoke, but spoke
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: not from his heart. His outward smiles concealed his inward
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: smart The jolly crew, unmindful of the past, the quarry
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: share their plenteous dinner haste. Some strip the skin, some
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: portion out the spoil the limbs, yet trembling in the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: cauldron's boil, some on the fire the reeking entrails broil
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: stretched on the grassy turf. At ease, they dine, restore
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: their strength with meat, and cheer their souls with wine.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Their hunger thus appeased, their care attends the doubtful fortune
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of their absent friends, alternate hopes and fears their minds possess,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: whether to deem them dead or in distress. Above the rest,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Eneus mourns the fate of brave Orontes, and the uncertain
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: state of Gaias Lycus and of Amicus the day, but
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: not their sorrows ended Thus where from aloft, Almighty Jove
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: surveys earth, air, and shores and navigable seas at length
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: on Libyan realms. He fix'd his eyes whom pondering thus
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: on human miseries, When Venus saw she with a lowly look,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: not free from tears, Her heavenly sire bespoke, O king
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of God's Men, whose awful hand disperses thunder on the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: seas and land, disposing all with absolute command. How could
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: my pious son thy power incense or what alas is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: vanish'd Troy's offense, Our hope of Italy not only lost
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: on various seas, by various tempests, toss'd but shut from
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: every shore and barred from every coast. You promis'd once
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a progeny divine of Romans, rising from the Trojan line
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: in after times, should hold the world in awe, and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to the land and ocean give the law. How is
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: your doom reversed? Which eased my care when Troy was
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: ruined in that cruel war, Then fates to fates I
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: could oppose. But now, when fortune still pursues her former blow,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: what can I hope? What worse can still succeed? What
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: end of labors has your will decreed? Antenor from the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: midst of Grecian hosts could pass secure and pierce the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Illyrian coasts, where rolling down the steep timarbus raves and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: through nine channels disembogues his waves. At length he founded
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Patua's Happy Seat and gave his Trojans a secure retreat.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: There fix'd their arms, and there renew'd their name, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: there in quiet rules and crown'd with fame. But we
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: descended from your sacred line, entitled to your heaven and rights, divine,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: are banished Earth, and for the wrath of a one
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: removed from Latium and the promised throne. Are these are scepters,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: These are due rewards. And is it thus that Jove
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: his plighted faith regards to whom the father of the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: immortal race, smiling with that serene, indulgent face with which
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: he drives the clouds and clears the skies, first gave
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a holy kiss. Then thus replies daughter, dismiss thy fears
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to thy desire. The fates of thine are fixed and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: stand entire. Thou shalt behold thy wished lavinian walls, and
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: ripe for heaven. When Fate Eneas calls, then shalt thou
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: bear him up sublime to me. No councils have reversed
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: my firm decree, lest new fears disturb thy happy state.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Know I have searched the mystic rolls of fate, thy son.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Nor is the appointed season far in Italy. Shall wage
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: successful war, shall tame fierce nations in the bloody field,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and sovereign laws impose and cities build, till after every
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: foe subdued the sun thrice through the signs, his annual
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: race shall run. This is his time prefixed. Ascanius, then
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: now called Ulus, shall begin his reign. He thirty rolling
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: years the crown shall wear. Then from Lavinium shall the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: seat transfer, and with hard labour Alba longer build the throne.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: With his succession shall be filled three hundred circuits more
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: then shall be seen illy other fair a priestess and queen,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: who full of Mars in time, with kindly throes shall
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: at a birth two goodly boys disclose the royal babes.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: A tawny wolf shall drain. Then Romulus, his grandsire's throne
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: shall gain of martial towers. The founder shall become the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: people Romans call the city Rome to them. No bounds
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of empire I sign, nor turn of years to their
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: immortal line. Even haughty you know who, with endless broils
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: earth sees and heav'n and Jove himself turmoils at length
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: aton'd her friendly power shall join to cherish and advance
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the Trojan line. The subject world shall Rome's dominion own
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and prostrate, shall adore the nation of the gown. An
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: age is ripening in revolving fate. When Troy shall overturn
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the Grecian state, and sweet revenge, her conquering sons shall
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: call to crush the people that conspir'd her fall. Then Caesar,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: from the Julian stark shall rise, whose empire ocean and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: whose fame the skies alone shall bound. Whom fraught with
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: eastern spoils are heav'n the just reward of human toils
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: securely shall repay with rights divine and incense shall ascend
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: before his sacred shrine. Then dire debate and impious war
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: shall cease, and the stern age be soften'd into peace.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Then banish'd faith shall once again return, and vestal fires
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: in hallow'd temples burn, and Remus with Quirinus shall sustain
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the righteous laws, and fraud and force restrain Janus himself
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: before or his fain shall wait and keep the dreadful
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: issues of his gait with bolts and iron bars. Within
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: remains imprisoned, fury, bound in brazen chains, high on a trophy,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: raised of useless arms, he sits and threats the world
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: with vain alarms. He said, and sent Callinius with command
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: to free the ports and ope the Punic land to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Trojan guests, lest ignorant of fate, the queen might force
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: them from her town and state down from the steep
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: of heaven. Callinius flies and cleaves with all his wings
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the yielding skies. Soon on the Libyan shore descends the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: god performs his message and displays his rod. The surly
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: murmurs of the people cease, and as the fates required,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: they give the peace. The Queen herself suspends the rigid
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: laws the trojan Jun's pities and protects their cause. Meantime,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: in shades of night in Neus lies care seized his
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: soul and sleep fossokis eyes. But when the sun restored
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the cheerful day, he rose the coast and country to survey,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: anxious and eager to discover more. It looked a wild,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: uncultivated shore, but whether human kind or beasts alone possessed
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the newfound region was unknown. Beneath a ledge of rocks
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: his fleet, he hides tall trees around the mountain's shady sides.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: The bending brow above a safe retreat provides. Armed with
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: two pointed darts, he leaves his friends and truer cartes
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: on his steps, attends lo in the deep recesses of
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the wood. Before his eyes, his goddess Mother stood a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: huntress in her habit and her mien, her dress, a
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: maid her air confessed a queen. There were her knees
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and knots, her garments bind, loose was her hair and
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: wanton'd in the wind. Her hand sustain'd a bow, her
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: quiver hung behind. She seem'd a virgin of the Spartan blood.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: With such array harp Palacey bestrode her Thracian courser, and
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: outstripp'd the rapid flood. Ho strangers have you lately seen,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: she said, one of my sisters, like my self, arrayed,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: who cross'd the lawn or in the forest strayed? A
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: painted quiver at her back, she bore, varied with spots.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: A lynx is hide she wore, and at full cry,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: pursued the tusky boar. End of Book one, Part one.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Book one A Fateful Haven, Part two. Thus Venus. Thus
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: her son replied again, none of your sisters have we
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: seen or heard? O virgin? Or what'er the name you bear?
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Above that style? O more than mortal? Fair your voice
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: and means celestial birth. Betray if as you seem the
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: daughter of the day, or one at least of chaste
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Diana's train, let not an humble suppliants sue in vain,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: but tell a stranger long in tempest toss's what earth
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: we tread, and who commands the coast? Then on your
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: name shall wretched mortals call and offer'd victims at your
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: altars fall. I dare not, she replied, assume the name
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: of goddess or celestial honor's claim for Tyreean virgins, bows
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: and quivers, bear and purple buskins or their ankles were
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: no gentle youth in Libyan lands. You are a people
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: rude in peace and rough in war. The rising city,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: which from far you see is Carthage and a Tyrian colony.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Phoenician Dido rules the growing state, who fled from tire
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: to shun her brother's hate. Great were her wrongs, her
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: story full of fate, which I will sum in short. Siricaeus,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: known for wealth and brother to the Punic throne, possess'd
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: fair Dido's bed, and either heart at once was wounded
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: with an equal dart. Her father gave her yet a
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: spotless maid, Pygmalion. Then the Tyrian scepter sway, one who
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: condemn'd divine and human law. Then strife ensu'd and cursed
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: gold the cause. The monarch, blinded by desire of wealth
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: with steel, invades his brother's life by stealth before the
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: sacred altar made him bleed, and long from her conceal'd
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the cruel deed, some tale, some new pretense. He daily
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: coin'd to soothe his sister and delude her mind. At last,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: in dead of night, the ghost appears of her unhappy lord,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: the specter, star'd and with erected eyes. His bloody bosom
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: bears the cruel altars and his fate he tells, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the dire secret of his house reveals. Then warns the widow,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: with her household gods, to seek a refuge in remote abodes.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Last to support her in so long a way, he
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: owes her where his hidden treasure lay. Admonish'd thus and
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: seiz'd with mortal fright, the queen provides companions of her flight.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: They meet, and all combine to leave the state. Who
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: hate the tyrant, or who fear his hate, They seize
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: a fleet, which ready rigg'd they find nor is Pygmalion's
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: treasure left behind. The vessel's heavy laden put to sea
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: with prosperous winds. A woman leads the way. I know
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: not if by stress of whether driv'n or was their
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: fatal course dispos'd by Heav'n. At last they landed, where
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: from far your eyes may view the turrets of New
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Carthage rise. There bought a space of ground, which Brysa
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: call'd from the bull's hide. They first inclos'd and wall
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: But whence are you, what country claims your birth? What
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: seek you, strangers on our Libyan earth, to whom with
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: sorrow streaming from his eyes and deeply sighing. Thus her
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: son replies, could you with patience hear or I relate,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: o nymph the tedious annals of our faith through such
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: a train of woes? If I should run, the day
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: would sooner than the tale be done. From ancient Troy
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: by force expell'd we came, if you by chance have
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: heard the trojan name, on various seas, by various tempests,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: toss'd at length, we landed on your Libyan coast. But
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: good Annaeus, I am call'd a name, while fortune favor'd
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: not unknown to fame my household, God's companions of my
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: woes with highest care, I rescu'd from our foes too
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: fruitful italy, my course was bent, And from the King
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: of Heav'n is my descent with twice ten sails. I
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: cross'd the Phrygian sea fate, and my mother goddess led
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: my way scarce. Seven the thin remainders of my fate
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: from storms preserv'd within your harbor. Meet my self, distress'd
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: an exile and unknown, debarred from Europe and from Asia,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: throne in Libyan deserts, wander thus alone. His tender parent
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: could no longer bear, but interposing sought to soothe his care.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Whoe'er you are not unbelov'd by heav'n, since on our
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: friendly shore your ships are driv'n. Have courage. To the gods,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: permit the rest, and to the Queen expose your just request.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Now take this earnest of success for more. Your scatter'd
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: fleet is join'd upon the shore. The winds are chang'd
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: your friends from danger free, or I renounce my skill.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: In Augury twelve swans behold in beauteous order, move and
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: stoop with closing pinions from above, whom late the bird
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: of Jove had driv'n along, And though the clouds pursu'd
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: the scattering throng, now all united in a goodly team,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: they skim the ground and seek the quiet stream, as they,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: with joy returning, clap their wings and ride the circuit
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: of the skies in rings. Not otherwise your ships and
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: ev'ry friend already hold the port, or with swift sails descend.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: No more advice is needful, but pursue the path before
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: you and the town in view. Thus, having said, she
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: turn'd and made appear her neck refulgent and dishevel'd hair,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: which flowing from her shoulders reach'd the ground and widely
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: spread ambrosial scents around in length of train, descends her
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: sweeping gown, and by her graceful walk, the Queen of
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: love is known. The Prince pursu'd the parting deity with
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: words like these, Ah, whither do you fly unkind and cruel,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: to deceive your son in borrow'd shapes, and his embrace
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: to shun never to bless my sight, but thus unknown,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: and still to speak in accents. Natcher up against the goddess.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: These complaints he made, but took the path, and her
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: commands obey'd. They march obscure, for Venus kindly shrouds with
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: mist their persons, and involves in clouds that thus unseen
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: their passage. None might stay or force to tell the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: causes of their way. This part perform'd. The Goddess flies
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: sublime to visit Paphos and her native clime, where garlands,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: ever green and fair with vows, are offer'd, and with
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: solemn prayer a hundred altars in her temple smoke a
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: thousand bleeding hearts, her power in vope. They climb'd the
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: next ascent, and looking down now at a nearer distance,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: view the town. The prince with wonder sees the stately
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: towers which late were huts and shepherd's homely bowers, the
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: gates and streets, and hears from every part the noise
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: and busy concourse of the mard. The toiling tyrians on
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: each other call to ply the labour. Some extend the wall,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Some build a citadel. The brawny throng or dig or
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: push unwieldy stones along. Some for their dwellings choose a
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: spot of ground, which first designed with ditches, they surround.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Some laws ordain, and some attend the choice of Holy
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: senates and elect by voice. Here. Some design a mole,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: while others there lay deep foundations for a theater. From
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: marble quarries mighty columns hew for ornaments of scene and
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: future view. Such is their toil, and such their busy pains.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: As exercise the bees in flowery plains, when winter past
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: and smmer scarce begun, invites them forth to labour in
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the sun. Some lead their youth abroad, some condensed their
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: liquid store, and some in cells dispense. Some at the
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: gates stand ready to receive the golden burden, and their
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: friends relieve all with united force, combin'd to drive the
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: lazy drones from the laborious hive. With envy stung, they
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: view each other's deeds. The fragrant work with diligence proceeds thrice.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Happy you, whose walls already rise aen they has said,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: and view'd with lifted eyes their lofty towers. Then, entering
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: at the gate, conceal'd in clouds prodigious to relate, he
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: mix'd unmark'd among the busy throng borne by the tide,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: and pass'd unseen along full. In the center of the
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: town there stood thick set with trees, a venerable wood.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: The Tyrians landed near this holy ground, and digging here
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: a prosperous omen found from under earth a courser's head.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: They drew their growth and fortune to foresee this fated sign.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Their foundress, Juno, gave of a soil fruitful and a
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: people brave Sidonian Dido. Here with solemn state did Juno's
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: temple build and consecrate, enrich'd with gift, and with a
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: golden shrine. But more, the Goddess made the place divine.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: On brazen steps, the marvel threshold rose and brazen plaits,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: the cedar beams and cloak. The rafters are with brazen
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: coverings crown'd, the lofty doors on brazen hinges sound. When
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: first aneas this place beheld, reviv'd his courage and his
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: spear expell'd, for while expecting there the Queen, he rais'd
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: his wondering eyes, and round the temple gaz'd admir'd the
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: fortune of the rising town, the striving artists, and their
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: arts renown'd. He saw in order painted on the wall.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Whatever did unhappy Troy befall the wars that fame around
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: the world had blown all to the life and every
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: leader known there Agamemnon Priam here he spies and fierce Achilles,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: who both kings devise, He stopp'd and weeping, said O
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: friend ev'n. Here the monuments of Trojan woes appear'd our
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: known disaster fill even foreign lands. See here where old
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: unhappy Priam stands. Even the mute walls relate the warrior's fame,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: and Trojan griefs the Tyrian's pity. Plain, he said, his
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: tears are ready passage find devouring what he saw so
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: well design'd and with an empty picture fed his mind.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: For there he saw the fainting Grecians yield, and hear
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: the trembling Trojans quit the field, pursu'd by fierce Achilles
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: through the plains on his high chariot, driving o'er the
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: slain the tents of Rhesus. Next, his grief renew by
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: their white sails, betray'd to knightly view and wakeful Diomede,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: whose cruel sword the Sentry slew. O'er spar'd their slumb'ring
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: lord then took the fiery steeds. Ere yet the food
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: of Troy they taste or drink the Xanthian flood. Elsewhere
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: he saw where Troilius defi'd Achilles and unequal combat tried.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Then where boy disarm'd with loosen'd rain was by his horses,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: hurri'd o'er the plains, hung by the neck and hair,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: and dragg'd around with hospital spear, yet sticking in his
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: ward with tracts of blood inscrib'd the dusty ground. Meantime,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: the Trojan dames oppres'd with woe to pallace fain in
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: long procession go in hopes to reconcile their heav'nly fall.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: They weep, they beat their breasts, they rend their hair.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Then rich Embroider'd vests for present spare, But the stern
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: goddess stands unmov'd with prayer thrice round the Trojan walls.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Achilles drew the corpse of Hecta, whom in fight he slew.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Here priam sues and therefore sums of gold. The lifeless
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: body of his son is soul, so sad, an object,
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: and so well Express'd. Drew sighs and groans from the
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: griev'd hero's breast to the figure of his lifeless friend
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: and his old sire, his helpless hand extend himself. He
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: saw among the Grecian train mix'd in the bloody battle
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: on the plain, and swarthy Memnon in his arms. He
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: knew his pompous ensigns and his Indian crew Penthsilia there
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: with haughty grace, leads to the wars an Amazonian race
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: in their right hands. Appointed dark, they wheel the left forward,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: sustains the lunar shield athwart her breast, a golden belt
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: she throws amid the press alone provokes a thousand fom
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: dares her maiden arms to manly force oppose. Thus, while
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: the Trojan prince emploises, eyes fix'd on the walls with
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: wonder and surprise, the beauteous Daido, with a numerous train
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: and pop of gods, descends the sacred fane such on
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Eurotus banks or Scynthus height Diana seems, and so she
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: charms the sight. When in the dance, the graceful goddess
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: leads the choir of nymphs and o'er tops their heads.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Known by her quiver and her lofty being, she walks majestic,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: and she looks their queen Latona sees her shine above
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: the rest and feeds with secret joy her silent breast.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Such Dido was with such becoming state. Amidst the crowd,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: she walks serenely great their labor to her future sway,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: she speeds, and, passing with a gracious glance, proceeds, then
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: mounts the throne high place'd before the shrine in crowds
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: around the swarming people joy she takes petitions and dispenses laws,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: hears and determines every private cause, their tasks in equal portions,
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: he divides, and where unequal, thereby Lot decides another way.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: By chance, Naeus bends his eyes and unexpected sees his
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: friend Antheus suggests disgrave cloanthus strong and at their backs
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: a mighty Trojan prong who late the tempest on the
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: billows tossed and widely scattered on another coast. The prince, unseen,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: surprised with wonder, stands and longs with joysful haste to
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: join their hands, But doubtful of the wished event, he stays,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: and from the howl cloud his friends surveyed impatient till
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: they told their present state and where they left their
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: ships in, what their favor, why they came, and what
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: was their request for. These were sent commissioned by the
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: rest to sue for leave to land the sickly men
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: and gain admission to the gracious Queen entering with cries,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: they fill'd the holy fane, and thus with lowly voice
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Ilioneus began o queen, indulg'd by favor of the gods,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: to found an empire in these new abodes, to build
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: a town with statutes to restrain the wild inhabitants. Beneath
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: thy reign, We wretched trojans toss'd on every shore from
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: sea to see thy clemency, implore forbid the fires our
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: shipping to deface. Receive, then, happy fugitives, to grace and
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: spare the remnant of a pious race. We come not
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: with design of wasteful prey to thrive the country, force
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: the swains away, nor such our strength, nor such is
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: our desire. The vanquish'd dare not two such thoughts aspire
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: a land There is Hesperia, nam'd of old. The soil
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: is fruitful, and the men are bold, though only Trians,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: held at once by common fame. Now call'd Italia from
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: the leader's name. To that sweet region was our voyage bent.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: When winds in every warring element disturb'd our course, and
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: far from sight of land, cast our torn vessels on
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: the moving sand. The sea came on the south with
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: mighty roar, dispers'd and dash'd the rest upon the rocky shore.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: These few, you see, escap'd the storm and fear unless
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: you interpose a shipwreck here? What men? What monsters? What
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: in human race? What laws? What barbarous customs of the place?
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Shot up in a desert's shore to drowning men, and
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: drive us to the cruel seas again. If our hard fortune,
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: no compassion draws, nor hospitable rights nor human laws, the
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: gods are just and will revenge our cause. Annaeus was
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: our prince, a just, a lord or nobler warrior, never
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: drew a sword, observant of the right religious of his word.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: If yet he lives and draws this vital heir, nor
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: we his friends of safety, shall despair, nor you, great Queen,
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: these officers repent, which ye will equal, and perhaps are meant.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: We want not cities nor Sicilian coasts, where king ancestes
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Trojan lineage boasts, permit our ships a shelter on your shores,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: refitted from your woods with planks and oars, that, if
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: our prince be safe, we may renew our destined course,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: and Italy pursue. But if o best of men, the
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: fates ordain that you art swallow in the Libyan main,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: and if our young Julius be no more dismiss our
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: navy from your friendly shore, that we to good ancesties
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: may return, and with our friends our common losses mourn.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Thus spokes Illionius. The Trojan crew, with cries and clamors
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: his request renew the modest queen, while with downcast eyes
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: ponder'd the speech. Then briefly thus replied, Trojans, dismiss your fears.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: My cruel fate and doubts attending an unset state, force
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: me to guard my coast from foreign foes. Who has
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: not heard the story of your woes, the name and
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: fortune of your native place, the fame and valor of
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: the Phrygian race. We Tyrians are not so devoid of sense,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: nor so remote from phoebus influence. Whether to Latzian shores
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: your course has been or driv'n by tempests. From your
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: first intent, you seek the good acestes government. Your men
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: shall be receiv'd, your fleet repair'd, and sail with ships
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: to convoy for your God. Or would you stay and
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: join your friendly powers to raise and to defend Harian towers,
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: My wealth, my city, and myself are yours, and would
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: to heav'n the storm you felt would bring on Carthaginian coasts,
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: your wandering king. My people shall, by my command explore
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: the ports and creeks of every winding shore, and towns
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: and wilds and shady woods, in quest of so renown'd
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: and so desir'd to guess rais'd in his mind. The
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Trojan hero stood and long'd to break out from his
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: ambient cloud. Cartis founded, and thus urg'd his way from
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: whence O goddess born, this long delay, what more can
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: you desire? You're welcome, sure, your fleet in safety, and
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: your friends secur'd one only once, and him we saw
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: in vain oppos'd the storm, and swallow'd in the main
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: or rantes in his fate, our horfit pai'd the rest
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: agrees with what your mother said, scarce had he spoken.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: When the cloud gave way, the mists flew upward and
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: dissolv'd in day, the Trojan chief appear'd in open sight
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: or gustin visage, and serenely bright. His mother Goddess, with
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: her hands divine, had form'd his curling locks, and made
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: his temple shy, and given his rolling eyes a sparkling grace,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: and breath'd a youthful vigor on his like polish'd ivy
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: puteous to behold of Parian marble, when encas'd in gold right,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Thus radiant from the circling cloud he broke, and thus
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: with manly modesty he spoke, He whom you seek am
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: I by tempest, toss'd and sav'd from shipwreck on your
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Libyan coast, presenting a gracious queen before your throne, a
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: prince that owes his life to you alone. Night, Fair majesty,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: the refuge and redress of those whom fate pursues and
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: wants oppress, you, who our pious offices employ to save
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: the relics of abandoned Troy received the shipwreck'd on your
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: friendly shore, with hospitable rites relieved, the poor associate in
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: your town a wandering dream, and strangers in your palace
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: entertain what thanks can wretched fugitives return, who scatter'd through
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: the world in exile. More but gods, if gods to
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: goodness are inclin'd, if acts of mercy touch'd their heav'nly mind,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: And more than all that, God's your generous heart, conscious
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: of worth requite its own dessert in you, this age
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: is happy, and this earth, then, parents more than mortal,
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: gave you birth. While rolling rivers into seas, shall run
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: and round the space of heav'n the radiant sun, while
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: trees the mountain tops with shades supply your honor, name
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: and praise shall never doth whate'er abode. My fortune has
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: assign'd your image shall be present in my mind. Thus,
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: having said, he turn'd with piousd haste, Then joyful his
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: expecting friends embraced with his right hand, and Ilonius was
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: graced cerests with his left, then to his breast Cloanthus
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Thus and the noble Gaius press'd, and so by turns
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: descended to the rest. The Tyrian queen stood fix'd upon
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: his face, pleas'd with his motions, ravish'd with his grace,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: They admir'd his fortunes more admir'd. The man then recollected, stood,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: and thus began, what fate o goddess born? What angry
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: powers have cast you shipwrack'd on our baron shores? Are
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: you the greater Naeus known to fame? Who from celestial
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: seed your lineage claim the same Annaeus whom fair Venus
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: bore to fam'd anchises on the Idaean shore. It calls
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: unto my mind, though then a child, when Tusa came
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: from Sealamus exile and sought my father's ai to be restor'd.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: My father Bellas, then, with fire and sword, invaded Cypress
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: made the region bear in conquering finish the successful war
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: from him the Trojan seas, I understood the Grecian chiefs,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: and your illustrious blood, your foe himself, the darden'd Valor prais'd,
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: and his own ancestry from Trojans rais'd. Enter, my noble guest,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: and you shall find, if not a costly welcome, yet
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: a kind I for myself, like you, have been distress'd
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: till heav'n afforded me this place at rest, Like you,
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: an alien in a land unknown, I learn'd to pity
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: woes so like my own, she said, and to the
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: palace led her guest, then offered incense and proclaim'd a feast,
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: nor yet less careful for her absent friends. Twice ten
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: fat oxen to the ships. He sent besides a hundred
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: boars and a hundred lambs, with bleating cries, attended their
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: not to dare, and jars of generous wine and spacious bowls.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: She gives cheer the sailor's drooping souls. Now purple hangings
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: cloth'd the palace walls, and sumptuous feasts are made in
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: splendid hall, untyingan carpets richly wrought. They die with loads
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: of massy plate, the sideboards shone, and antique vases all
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: of gold embossed, the gold itself inferior to the cost
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: of curious work. Whereon the sides were seen the fights
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: and figures of illustrious men from their first founder to
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: the present queen. The Gourdnaeus paternal care Julius absence could
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: no longer bear, dispatch'd acats to the ships in haste
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: to give a glad relation of the past, and fraught
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: with precious gifts, to bring the boy snatch from the
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: ruins of unhappy Troy, a robe of tissue, stiff with
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: golden wire and upper vest. Once Helen's rich attie from
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Argos by the famed adulteress, brought with golden flowers and
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: winding foliage, wrought her mother letters present when she came
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: to ruin Troy and set the world on flame. The
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: scepter Priam's eldest daughter bore her orient necklace, and the
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: crown she wore of double texture, glorious to behold one
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: orders set with gems and one with gold. Instruct'd this,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: the wise acats goes, and in his diligence his duty show'd.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: But Venus, anxious for her son's affairs, new counsels, tries
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: and new designs, prepares that Cupid should assume the shape
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: and face of sweet Ascanius, and the spitely grace should
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: bring presents in her nephew's ste and in Eliza's veins.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: The gentle poison shed for much. She fear'd the Tyrian's
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: double tongue, and knew the town to Juno's care belong
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: these thoughts by night her golden slumber's broke, and thus
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: alarm to winged love, she spoke, my son, my strength,
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: whose mighty power alone controls the thunderer on his awful throne.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: To thee thy much afflicted mother flies, and on thy
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: succor and thy faith relis thou knowest my son, how
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Jo's revengeful wife, by force and fraud, attempts thy brother's
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: life and often hast thou mourn'd with me his pains
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: him died O now with blandishment detains. But I suspect
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: the town where Juno reigns, for this tis needful to
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: prevent her art and fire with love. The proud Phoenicians
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: are a love so violent, so strong, so sure as
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: neither age can change nor art can cure. How this
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: may be perform'd and out take my mind. Ascanius, by
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: his father is design'd to come with presence laden from
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: the port, to gratify the queen and gain the court.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: I mean to plunge the boy in pleasing sleep and
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: ravish in Italian bowers to keep, while I sytharum that
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: the sweet deceit may pass unseen, and none prevent the cheat.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: Take thou his form and shape. I beg the grace,
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: but only for a knight's revolving space. Thyself abore assume
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: a boy's dissembl'd face that when amidst the fervor of
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: the feast, the Tyrian hugs and fads thee on her breast,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: and with sweet kisses in her arms, constrain'd thou mayest
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: infuse thy venom in her veins. The god of love
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: obeys and sets aside his bow and quiver and his
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: plumy pride. He walks Julius in his mother's sight, and
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: in the sweet resemblance, takes delight the goddess. Then to
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: young Ascanius flies and in a pleasing slumber, seals his eye.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Lulling in her lap amidst a train of loves, she
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: gently bears him to her blissful grows, then, with a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: wreath of myrtle, crowns his head and softly lays him
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: in a flow'ry bed. Cupid meantime assumes his form and faith,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: following Acati's with a shorter pace, and brought the gifts.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: The queen already sat amid the trojan lord's in shining state,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: high on a golden bed. Her princely guest was next
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: her side. In order Saint, the rest than canisters with
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: bread are heap'd on high, the attendant's water for their
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: hands supply, and having wash'd with silken towels, dry next
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: fifty handmaids in long order bore the senses, and with
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: fumes the gods adore. Then youths and virgins twice as
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: many join'd to place the dishes, and to serve the wine.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: The Tyrrenean train admitted to the feast approach, and on
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: the painted couch's rest all on the Trojan's gifts with
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: wonder gaze, but view the beauteous boy with more amazed
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: his rosy color'd cheeks, his radiant eyes, his motions, voice
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: and shape, and all the God's disguise, nor pass unprais'd
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: the vest and veil divine, which wandering foliage and which
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: flowers enter'd twine. Far above the rest, the royal dame,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: already doom'd to love disastrous slain, with eyes insatiate and
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: tumultuous joy, beholds the presence and admires the boy. The
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: guileful god about the hero, long with children's play and
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: false embraces, hung, then sought the queen. She took him
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: to her arms with greedy pleasure, and devour'd his charms. Unhappy,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Dido little thought, what guess'd how dire a god she
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: drew so near her breast, But he not minds of
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: his mother's prayer, works in the pliant posm of the fish,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: and molds her heart anew and blots her former care
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: and dead is to the living love resign'd, and all
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: Annaeus enters in her mind. Now when the rage of
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: hunger was appeas'd, the meat remov'd, and every guest was pleas'd.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: The golden bowls with sparkling wine are crown'd, and through
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: the palace cheerful cries resound'd from gilded roofs. Depending lamps
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: display nocturnal beams that emulate the day. A golden bowl
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: that shone with gems divine the queen commanded to be
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: crown'd with wine, that bowl that belus us'd in all
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: the Tyrian lie. Then silence through the hall, proclaim'd as
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: she spoke, O Hospitable Jove, we thus invoke with alam,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: writes thy sacred name and power, blessed to both nations
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: this auspicious hour. So may the Trojan and the Tyrian
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: line lasting concord from this day come bye, Thou backest,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: God of Joy's and friendly cheer and grace's juno both
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: be present here. And you, my Lord's, attire your vow's
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: address to Heaven with mind to ratify the peace. The goblet.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Then she took with nectar, crown'd, sprinkling the first libations
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: on the ground then rais'd it to her mouth with
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: sober grace, then, sipping offer'd to the next place twas biteous,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: whom she call'd the thirsty soul. He took the challenge
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: and embraced the bowl with pleasure, swill the gold, nor
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: cease to draw till he the bottom of the brimmer
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: saw the goblet goes around. iOpus brought his golden Lyre
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: and son were ancient. Atlas taught the various labors of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: the wandering moon, And whence precedes the eclipses of the sun,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: the original of man and beast? And whence the rain
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: arise and fires their warmth dispense and fix'd and erring
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: stars dispose their influence. What shakes the earth? What cause
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: delays the summer night? And shortness with the days? With
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: peals of shouts, the Tyrians praise the song. Those peals
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: are echo'd by the Trojans. The unhappy queen with talk
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: prolong'd the night, and drank large drafts of love with
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: vast delight of priam. Much inquired of Hector more than
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: ask what arms the swarthy men on war? What troops
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: he landed on the Trojan's shore, The steeds of Diomede
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: varied the discourse, and fierce Achilles with his matchless force
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: at length as faith in her ill stars require to
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: hear the series of the war. Desir'd relate at large,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: my god like guests, she said the Grecian stratagems. The
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: town betray'd, the fatal issue of soor a war, Your flight,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: your wanderings, and your woes declare for since on every sea,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: on every coast, your men have been distress'd, your navy
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: toss'd seven times, the sun has e the tropic view'd,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: the winter banish'd, and the spring renew'd. End of book.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: One, Book two, How they took the city Part one.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: All were attentive to the god like man, when from
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: his lofty couch he thus began, Great Queen, what you
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: command me to relate renews the sad remembrance of our fate.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: An empire from its old foundation's rent, and every woe
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: the Trojans underwent, a peopled city made a desert place.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: All that I saw, and part of which I was not.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: Even the hardest of our foes could hear, nor stern
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: Ulysses tell without a tear. And now the latter watch
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: of wasting night and setting stars to kindly rest invite.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: But since you take such interest in our woe and
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: Troy's disastrous end, desire to know, I will restrain my
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: tears and briefly tell what in our last and fatal
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: night befell. By destiny, compelled and in despair, the Greeks
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: grew weary of the tedious war, and by Minerva's aid,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: a fabric reared, which, like a steed of monstrous height appeared.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: The sides were planked with pine. They feigned it made
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: for their return, and thus this vow they paid. Thus
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: they pretend, But in the hollow side, selected numbers of
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: their soldiers hide with inward arms. The dire machines they load,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: and iron bowels stuff. The dark abode in sight of
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: Troy lies Tenados and Isle. While fortune did on Priam's
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: empire smile renowned for wealth. But since a faithless bay,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: where ships exposed to wind and weather lay there was
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: their fleet concealed. We thought for Greece. Their sails were
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: hoisted and our fears release. The Trojans cooped within their walls,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: so long unbar their gates, an issue in a throng
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: like swarming bees and with delight survey the camp deserted,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: where the Grecians lay the quarters of the several chiefs.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: They showed here Phoenix, here, Achilles made abode here, joined
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: the battles. Here the navy road part on the pile.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: Their wondering eyes employ the pile by palace raised to
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: ruin Troy Thymohites first, 'tis is doubtful whether hired or
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: so The trojan destiny required moved that the ramparts might
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: be broken down to lodge the monster fabric in the town.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: But Cappies and the rest of Sounder mind the fatal
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: present to the flames designed or to the watery deep,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: at least to bore the hollow sides and hidden frauds
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: explore the giddy vulgar as their fancies guide with noise,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: say nothing, and in parts divide. Laoocun followed by a
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: numerous crowd, ran from the fort and cried from afar aloud, Oh,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: wretched countrymen, what fury rains? What more than madness has
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: possessed your brains? Think you? The Grecians from your coasts
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: are gone, and are ulysses arts no better known? This
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: hollow fabric either must enclose within its blind recesses are
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: secret foes, or tis an engine raised above the town
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: to overlook the walls, and then to down somewhat is
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: shore designed by fraud or force, trust not their presence,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: nor admit the horse. Thus, having said against the steed,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: he threw his forceful spear, which, hissing as flew, pierced
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: through the yielding planks of jointed wood, and trembling in
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: the hollow body stood the sides transpierced returned a rattling sound,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: and groans of Greeks enclosed come issuing through the wound.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: And had not heaven the fall of Troy designed, or
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: had not men been faded to be blind? Enough was
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: said and done to inspire a better mind. Then had
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: our lances pierced the treacherous wood and Ilian towers, and
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: Priam's empire stood meantime with shouts the Trojan shepherds bring
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: a captive Greek in bands before the king taken to take,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: who made himself their prey, to impose on their belief.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: And Troy betray fixed on his arm and obstinately bent
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: to die undaunted or to circumvent about the captive tides
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: of Trojans flow, all pressed to see, and some insult
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: the foe. Now hear how well the Greeks, their wiles disguised,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: behold a nation in a man comprised trembling, The miscreants
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: stood unarmed and bound. He starred and rolled his haggard
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: eyes around, then said, alas, what earth remains? What sea
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: is open to receive? Unhappy me, what fate a wretched
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: fugitive attends? Scorned by my foes, abandoned by my friends,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: he said, and sighed, and cast a rueful eye. Our
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: pity kindles and our passions die. We cheer youth to
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: make his own defense, and freely tell us what he was,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: and whence what news he could impart? We long to know,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: and what to credit from a captive foe. His fear
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: at length dismissed, he said, whate'er my fate ordains, my
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: words shall be, sincere I neither can nor dare my
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: birth disclaim. Greece is my country, Sinon is my name.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: Though plunged by fortune's power and misery, tis not in
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: fortune's power to make me lie. If any chance has
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: hither brought me the name of Palamedes not unknown to fame,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: who suffered from the malice of the times, accused and
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: sentenced for pretended crimes, because these fatal wars he would prevent,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: whose death the wretched Greeks, too late lament me. Then
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: a boy, my father, poor and bear of other means,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: committed to his care, his kinsmen and companion in the war,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: while fortune favored, while his arms support the cause and
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: ruled the councils of the court. I made some figure there.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: Nor was my name obscure, nor I without my share
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: of fame. But when ulysses with fallacious arts had made
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: impression in the people's hearts and forged a treason in
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: my patron's name, I speak of things too far divulged
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: by fame. My kinsmen fell. Then, I, without support, in private,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: mourned his loss and left the court mad as I was.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: I could not bear his fate with silent grief, but
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: loudly blame the state and cursed the dileful author of
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: my woes. Twas told again, and hence my ruin rose.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: I threatened, if indulgent heaven once more would land me
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: safely on my native shore his death with double vengeance.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: To restore this moved the murderer's hate, and thus ensued
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: the effects of malice from a man so proud ambiguous
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: rumors through the camp he spread and sought by treason
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: my devoted head, new crimes invented, left unturned no stone
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: to make my guilt appear, and hide his own till
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: Calchius was, by force and threatening wrought. But why why
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: dwell I on that anxious thought? If on my nation
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: just prevenge you seek, and it is to appear a foe,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: to appear a Greek. Already you my name and country know,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: assuage your thirst of blood, and strike the blow my death.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: Will both the kingly brothers please and set insatious Ithacus
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: at ease this fair unfinished tale, These broken starts raised
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: expectations in our longing hearts, unknowing as we were in
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: Grecian arts, his former trembling once again renewed with acted fear.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: The villain thus pursued long. Had the Grecians, tired with
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: fruitless care and wearied with an unsuccessful war, resolved to
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: raise the siege and leave the town, And had the
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: gods permitted, they had on but off the wintry seas
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: and southern winds withstood their passage home and changed their minds,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: portents and prodigies. Their souls amazed, but most when this
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: stupendous pile was raised, then flaming meteors hung in air
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: were seen, and thunders rattled through a sky. Serene, dismayed
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: and fearful of some dire event, Eurypolis to inquire their
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: fate was sent he from the gods. This dreadful answer
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: brought o Grecians. When the Trojan shores you sought your
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: passage with a virgin's blood was bought, So must your
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: safe return be bought again, and Grecian blood once more
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: to atone the main. The spreading rumor round, the people ran,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: all feared, and each believed himself. The man Ulysses took
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: the advantage of their fright, called Cauchius, and produced in
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: open sight. Then bade him name the wretch ordained by fate,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: the public victim to redeem the state. Already some presaged
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: the Diyra event and saw what sacrificed Ulysses meant. For
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: twice five days the old seer withstood the intended treason
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: and was dumb to blood till tired with endless clamors,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: in pursuit of Ithacus. He stood no longer mute. But
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: as it was agreed, pronounced that I was destined by
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: the wrathful gods to die. All praised the sentence, pleased
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: the storm should fall on one alone, whose fury threatened all.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: The dismal day was come. The priests prepare the eleven
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: cakes and filets for my hair. I followed nature's laws
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: and must avow. I broke my bonds and fled the
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: fatal blow. Hid in a weedy lake all night. I
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: lay secure of safety when they sailed away. But now
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: what further hopes for me remain to see my friends
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: or native soil again, My tender infants, or my careful sire,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: whom they returning will to death require, will perpetrate on
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: them their first design, and take the forfeit of their
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: heads for mine, which I if pity mortal minds could move,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: if there be faith below or gods above, if innocence
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: and truth can claim dessert, ye trojans from an injured wretch,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: avert false tears, true pity move. The king commands to
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: loose his fetters and unbind his hands, then adds these
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: friendly words, dismiss thy fears. Forget the Greeks, be mine,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: as thou wert theirs. But truly tell, was it for
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: force or guile or some religious end? You raise the pile,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: Thus said the king, he full of fraudful arts. Thus
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: well invented tale for truth in parts Ye lamps of heaven,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: he said, and lifted high his hands. Now free thou
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: venerable sky, inviolable, adorned with dread, ye fatal philets that
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: once bound this head, Ye sacred altars from whose flames
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: I fled, be of all ajured and grant I may
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: without a crime. The ungrateful Greeks betray, reveil the secrets
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: of the guilty state, and justly punish whom I hate.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: But you, o King, preserve the faith you gave if
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: I to save myself your empire. Save The Grecian hopes
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: and all the attempts they made were only founded on
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: Minerva's aid. But from the time when impious diomedede and
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: false ulysses that inventive head, her fatal image from the temple,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: drew the sleeping guardians of the castle, slew her virgin
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: statue with the bloody hands, polluted, and profaned her holy
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: bands from thence the tide of fortune left their shore
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: and ebbed much faster than it flowed before. Their courage
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: languished as their hopes decayed, and Pallas, now averse, refused her,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: Nor did the goddess doubtfully declare her altered mind and
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: alienated care. When first her fatal image touched the ground,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: she sternly cast her glaring eyes around that sparkled as
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: they rolled and seemed to threat her. Heavenly limbs distilled
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: a briny sweat thrice from the ground. She leapt and
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: was seen to wield her brandish lanced and shake her
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: horrid shield. Then Colchius bade our host for flight and
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: hope no conquest from the tedious war, till first they
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: sailed for Greece. Their prayers besought her injured power, and
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: better omens brought, And now their navies plows the watery main.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: Yet soon expect it on your shores again, With pallace pleased,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: as couches did ordain, but first to reconcile the blue
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 3: eyed maid for her stolen statue and her tower betrayed.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: Warned by the steer to her offended name, we raised
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: and dedicated this wondrous frame so lofty, lest through your
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: forbidden gaits it passed, and intercept our better fates. For
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: once admitted there, our hopes are lost, and Troy may
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: then a new palladium boast for so religion in God's
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: ordain that if you violate with hands profane Bernerva's gift,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: your town in flame shall burn, which omen o ye
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: gods on Grecia turn. But if it climb with your
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: assisting hands the Trojan walls and in the city stands,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: then Troy shall argos and Myceni burn, and the reverse
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: of fate on us return. With such deceits he gained
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: their easy hearts, too prone to credit his perfidious arts
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: what Diomede nor Thetus's greater son, a thousand ships nor
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: ten years siege had done. False tears and fawning words,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: the city won a greater omen, and of worse portent
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: did our unwary minds, with fear torment, concurring to produce
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: the dire event. Laoocun, Neptune's priest by lot that year,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: with solemn pomp, then sacrificed to steer when dreadful to
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: behold from the sea, we spied two serpents rank abreast
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: the seas divide and smoothly seep along the swelling tide.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 3: Their flaming crests above the waves, they show, their bellies
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: seemed to burn the seas below. Their speckled tails advance
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: to steer their course. And on the sounding shore the
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: flying billows force, and now the strand, and now the plain.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: They held. Their ardent eyes with bloody streaks were filled.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: Their nimble tongues they brandished as they came, and licked
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: their hissing jaws that spluttered flame. We fled, amazed their
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: destined way to take into Laocun and to his children.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: Make at first round the tender boys, they whined. Then,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: with their sharpened fangs, their limbs and bodies ground the
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: wretched father, running to their aid with pious haste, but vain,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: they next invaded twice round his waist, their winding volumes rolled,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: and twice about his grasping throat. They fold the priest,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: thus doubly choked. Their crests divide, and towering over his
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: head in triumph, ride with both his hands. He labors
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: at the knots his holy filets. The blue venom blots
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: his roaring fills the flitting air around. Thus, when an
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: ox receives a glancing wound, he breaks his bands. The
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: fatal altar flies, and with loud bellowing, breaks the yielding skies.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: Their tasks perform. The serpents quit their prey and to
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: the tower Palace make their way. Couched at her feet,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: they lie protected there by her large buckler and pretended spear.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: Amazement seizes all. The general cry proclaims Laocoon justly doomed
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: to die, whose hand the will of Palace had withstood,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: and dared to violate the sacred wood. All vote to
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: admit the steed, that vows be paid and incense offered
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: to the offended maid. A spacious breach is made. The
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: town lies bare, some hoisting levers. Some the wheels prepare
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: and fastened to the horses feet. The rest, with cables,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: haul along the unrealdy beast, Each on his own fellow
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: for assistance calls at length. The fatal fabric mounts the walls,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: big with destruction. Boys with chaplets, crowned inquirers of virgins
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: sing and dance around. Thus raise aloft and then descending down,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: it enters over our heads and threats the town, Oh,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: sacred city built by hands divine, Oh, valiant heroes of
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: the Trojan line. Four times he struck as oft. The
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: clashing sound of arms were heard, and inward groans rebound.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 4: Yet mad with.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: Zeal and blinded with our fate, we hauled along the
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: horse in solemn state, then placed the dire portent within
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: the tower. Cassandra cried and cursed the unhappy hour foretold
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: our fate. But by the God's decree, all heard, but
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 3: none believed the prophecy. With branches we the fanes adorn
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: and waste in joliality. The day ordained to be the
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: last meantime, the rapid heavens rolled down the light and
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: on the shaded ocean rushed the night. Our men, secure
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: nor guards nor sentries, held but easy sleep, their weary
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 3: limbs compelled. The Grecians had embarked their naval powers from
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: Tenedos and sought our well known shores, safe under covert
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: of the silent night and guided by the Imperial Galley's light.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: When Sinon, favored by the partial gods, unlocked the horse
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: and OpEd his dark abodes. Restored to the vital air,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: our hidden foes, who joyful from their long confinement, rose
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 3: tysander Bold and stunnless their guide, and Diulysses down the
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: cables slide, Then thoas Athemus and peeris haste. Nor was
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: the Podalarian hero last, nor injured Menelaeus, nor the famed Epius,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: who the fatal engine framed. A nameless crowd succeed. Their
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: forces joined to invade the town, Oppressed with sleep and wine.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: Those few they find awake first meet their fate. Then
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: to their fellows they unbar their gait twas in the
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: dead of the night, when sleep repairs. Our bodies worn
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: with toils, are mind with cares. When Hector's ghosts before
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: my sight appears a bloody shroud. He seemed and bathed
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: in tears, such as he was when by Peladas slain
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: Thessalian coursers dragged him over the place. Swollen were his feet,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: as when the throngs were thrust through the bored holes,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: his body black with dust. Unlike that Hector who returned
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: from toils of war triumphant in a Chayan spoils, or
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 3: him who made the fainting Greeks retire and launched from
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: their navy Phrygian fire his hair and beard stood stiffened
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: with his gore. All the wounds he for his country
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: bore now streamed afresh, and with new purple ran I
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 3: wept to see the visionary man. And while my trance continued,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: thus began O light of Trojans and support of Troy,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: thy father's champion, and thy country's joy, Oh long expected
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: by thy friends. From whence art thou so late returned
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: for our defense? Do we behold thee wearied as we are,
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: with length of labors and with toils of war, after
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: so many funerals of our own art thou restored to
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: thy delaning town. But say, what wounds are these? What
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: new disgrace deforms the manly features of thy face? To this?
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: The specter no reply did frame, but answered to the
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: cause for which he came, and, groaning from the bottom
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: of his breast, this warning, in these mournful words expressed,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: Oh Godess born, escape by timely flight the flames and
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 3: horrors of this fatal night. The foes already have possessed
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: the wall. Troy nods from high and totters to her fall.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: Enough is paid to Priam's royal name, more than enough
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: to duty and to fame. If by a mortal hand,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: my father's throne could be defended twas by mine alone.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 3: Now Troy to thee commends her future state, and gives
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: her gods companions of thy fate from their assistance walls
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: expect which wandering long and last, thou shalt erect, he said,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: and brought to me from their blest abodes, the venerable
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: statues of the gods, with ancient vesta from the sacred choir,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: the wreaths and relics of the immortal fire. Now peals
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: of shouts came thundering from afar, cries, threats, and loud
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: laments and mingled war. The noise approaches, though our pallace
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: stood aloof from streets encompassed with a wood louder and
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: yet more loud. I hear the alarms of human cries,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: distinct in clashing arms. Fear broke my slumbers. I no
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: longer stay, but mount the terrace. Thence the towns survey
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: and hearken what the frightful sounds convey. Thus, when a
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 3: flood of fire by wind is borne, crackling, it rolls
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: and mouths the standing corn or deluges descending on the plains,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: sweeping over the yellow year, destroying the panes of laboring
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: oxen and peasants gains en route the forest oaks and
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 3: bare away flocks, folds and trees and undistinguished prey. The
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: shepherd climbs the cliff and sees from afar the wasteful
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: ravaging of the watery war. Then Hector's faith was manifestly cleared,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: and the Grecian frauds and open light appeared. The palace
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: of Dave Phoebus ascends in smoky flames and catches on
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: his friends. Ucligan burns. Next, the seas are bright with
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: splendor not their own, and shine with Trojan light. New
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: clamors and new clangers now arise, the sound of trumpets
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: mixed with fighting cries, with frenzies seized. I run to
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: meet the alarms, resolved on death, resolved to die in arms,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: but first to gather friends and with them to oppose,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: if fortune favored, and repel the foes, spurred by my
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: courage and by my country, fired with sense of honor
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: and revenge. Inspired Pantheus, Apollo's priest a sacred name, had
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: escaped the Grecian swords and passed the flame, with relics
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 3: loaded to my doors. He fled, and by the hand
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: of his tender grandson led, What hope, o, Pantheus, Whither
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: can we run? Where make a stand? And what yet
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: may be done? Scarce said I, when Pantheus with a
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: groan Troy's no more. An Ilium was a town. The
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: fatal day the appointed hours come when wrathful Jove's irrevocable
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 3: doom transfers the Trojan state to Grecian hands. The fire
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: consumes the town, The foe commands and arm hosts an
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: unexpected force break from the bows of the fatal horse.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: Within the gates. Proud Synon throws about the flames and
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: foes for entrance, press without. With thousand others, whom I
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: feared a name more than from Argos or Myceni, came
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: to several posts. Their parties. They divide. Some block the
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: narrow streets, some scour the wide. The bold they kill
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: the unwary. They surprise who fights finds death, and death
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: finds him who flies the warders of the gate. But
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: Scarce maintain the unequal combat and resist in vain. I
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: heard and heaven that well born soul inspires prompts me,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: through lifted swords and rising fires, to run where clashing
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: arms and clamor calls, and rush undaunted to defend the walls.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: Rypheus and Iphetus by my side, and gage for valor,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: one renowned and one for age. Damus and Hyphanus by
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: moonlight new my motions and my mien, and to my
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 3: party drew with young Correbis, who by love was led
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: to win renowned and fair Cassandra's bed, and lately brought
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: his troops to Priam's aid. Fore warrant in vain by
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: the prophetic maid, whom, when I saw, resolved in arms
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: to fall, and that one spirit animated all brave souls
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: set up, But brave alast in vain, come finish what
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: our cruel fates ordain. You see the desperate state of
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: our affairs, and heavens protecting powers are deaf to prayers.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: The passive gods behold the Greeks defile their temples and
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: abandon to the spoil their own abodes. We feeble few
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: conspire to save a sinking town involved in fire. Then
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: let us fall, but fall amidst our foes, despair of life.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: The means of living shows so bold a speech encourage
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: their desire of death and added fuel to their fire.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: As hungry wolves with raging appetite scour through the fields,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: nor fear the stormy night. Their whelps at home expect
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: the promised food and long to temper their dry chaps
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: in blood. So rushed we forth at once, resolved to die,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: resolved in death, the last extremes to try. We leave
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: the narrow lanes behind, and dare the unequal combat in
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: the public square. Night was our friend, our leader was despair.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: What tongue can tell the slaughter of that night? What
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: eyes can weep the sorrows and affright? An ancient in
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: Imperial city falls, The streets are filled with frequent funerals,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: Houses and holy temples float in blood, and hostile nations
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: make a common flood. Not only Trojans fall, but in
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: their turn the vanquished triumph and the victor's morn ours
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: take courage from despair and night confused, the fortune is confused,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: the fight all parts resound with tumults, plaints and fears,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: and grisly death. In Sundry Shapes appears andro Gios fell
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: among us with his band, who thought us Grecians newly
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 3: come to land from whence, said he, my friends, this
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: long delay. You loiter while the spoils are borne away.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: Our ships are laden with the Trojan store, and you,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: like truants, come too late ashore, he said, but soon
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: corrected his mistake, found by the doubtful answers which we make. Amazed.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: He would have shunned the unequal fight, but we more
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: numerous intercepted his flight. As when some peasant in a
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: bushy brake has, with unwary footing pressed a snake. He
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 3: starts aside, astonished when he spies his rising crest, blue
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: neck and rolling eyes. So from our arms surprised, and
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: Roggio's flies in vain for him and his we compassed round,
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: possessed with fear, anning of the ground and of their lives.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: An easy conquest found Thus fortune on our first endeavor,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: smiled Corybus, then with youthful hopes beguiled, swollen with success
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 3: and daring mind. This new invention fatally designed, my friends,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: said he. Since fortune shows the way, tis fit that
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 3: we should the auspicious guide obey. For what has she
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: these Grecian arms bestowed but their destruction and the Trojans good.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 3: Then change we shields and their devices bear let fraud
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: supply the want of force in war, they find us arms.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: This said himself, he dressed in dead Androugius's spoils, his
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 3: upper vest, his painted buckler, and his plumy crest. Thus, gryffeusdaimus,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 3: all the Trojan train lay down their own attire and
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: stripped the slain. Mixed with the Greeks, we go with
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: ill presage, flattered with hopes to glut our greedy rage, unknown,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: assaulting whom we blindly met, and strew with Grecian carcasses
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: the street. Thus, while their straggling parties we defeat, some
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: to the shore and safer ships retreat, and some, oppressed
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: with more ignoble fear, remount the hollow horse and pant
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: in secret. There But ah, what use of valor can
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 3: be made when Heaven's propitious powers refuse their aid. Behold
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: the royal prophetess, the fair Cassandra, dragged by her dishoveled hair,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 3: whom not minervous shrine nor sacred bands in safety could
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: protect from sacrilegious hands on heaven. She cast her eyes,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: she sighed, she cried, twas all she could. Her tender
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 3: arms were tied, so sad a sight Corbis could not bear,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: but fired with rage, Distracted with despair amid the barbarous ravagers,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: he flew our leader's rash example. We pursue, but storms
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: of stones from the proud temple's height pour down, and
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: on our battered helms alight. We from our friends, received
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: this fatal blow. Who thought as Grecians as we seemed
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: in show They aim at the mistaken crests from high
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: and ours beneath the ponderous ruins lie then moved with
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: anger and disdain to see their troops dispersed, The royal
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: virgins free, The Grecians rally, and their powers unite with
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 3: fury charges and renew the fight. The brother kings with
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 3: Ajax join their force, and the whole squadron of Thessalian Horse.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: End of book two, Part one, Book two, How they
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: took the city Part two. Thus, when the rival winds
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: their quarrel try contending for the kingdom of the sky,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: south east and west on airy coursers borne, The whirlwind
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: gathers and the woods are torn. Then Nereus strikes the deep.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 3: The billows rise and mixed with ooze and sand pollute
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: the skies and troops. We squandered first again appear from
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: several quarters and enclose the rear. They first observe, and
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: to the rest betray our different speech and our borrowed arms.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: Survey oppressed with odds, we fall Corbis first at Pallace's altar,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 3: by Penelius pierced. Then Ryphius followed in the unequal fight,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: just of his word. Observant of the right heaven thought
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: not so Thaimus. Their fate attends with hypanis mistaken by
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: their friends, nor Pantheus, thee thy miter, nor the bands
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: of awful Phoebus saved from impious hands, Ye Trojan Flames,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: your testimony bear what I performed, in what I suffered,
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: there no sword avoiding in the fateful strife, exposed to
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: death and prodigal of life. Witness ye heavens I live
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: not by my fault. I strove to have deserved the
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: death I sought. But when I could not fight and
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 3: would have died, borne off to distance by the growing tide,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: old Iphitus and I were hurried. Thence with Pelias wounded
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: and without defense, new clamors from the invested palace ring,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: we run to die or disengage the king. So hot,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 3: the assault so high, the tumult rose, while ours defend,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 3: and while the Greeks oppoe, as all that Dardan and
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 3: Argullic race had been contracted in that narrow space or
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: as ilium else were avoid of fear and tumult, war
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: and slaughter. Only there their targets. In a tortoise cast,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: the foes securely advancing to the turrets rows. Some mount
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: the scaling ladders, some more bold swerve upwards and by
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 3: posts and pillars. Hold their left hand gripes their bucklers
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: in the ascent, and with their right they seize the
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: battlement from their demolished towers. The Trojans throw huge heaps
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: of stones that falling crushed the foe, and heavy beams
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: and rafters from the sides. Such arms their last necessity provides,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 3: and gilded roofs come tumbling from on high, the marks
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: of state and of ancient royalty. The guards below, fixed
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: in the past, attend the charge undaunted, and the gate defend,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: renewed and courage, and with recovered breath, a second time
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: we ran to tempt our death, to clear the palace
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: from the foe, succeed the weary living, and revenge the dead.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: A postor and door, yet unobserved and free, joined by
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: the length of a blind gallery to the king's closet,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: led away, well known to Hector's wife, while Priam held
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: the throne, through which she brought icetatics unseen to cheer
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 3: his grandsire and his grandsire's queen. Through this we pass
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: and mount the tower. From whence, with unavailing arms, the
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 3: Trojans make defense. From this. The trembling king had oft
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 3: descried the Grecian camp and saw their navy ride beams
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: from its lofty height. With swords we hew, then, wrenching
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: with our hands, the assault renew and where the rafters
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: on the columns meet, we pushed them headlong with our
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: arms and feet. The lightning flies not swifter than the fall,
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: nor thunder louder than the ruined wall. Down goes the top.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: At once. The Greeks beneath our pucemeal torn, pounded into death.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: Yet more succeed, and more to death are sent. We cease,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: not from above, nor they below relent. Before the gate
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: stood peer us, threatening loud with glittering arms, conspicuous in
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: the crowd, so shines renewed in youth. The crested snake,
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 3: who slept the winter in a thorny break and casting
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: off his slough. When spring returns now looks aloft and
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: with new glory, burns restored with poisonous herbs. His ardent
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: sides reflect the sun, and raised on spires, he writhes
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 3: high o'er the grass, hissing, he rolls along and brandishes
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 3: by fits his forky tongue, proud pariface and fierce automedon
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: his father's charioteer. Together run to force the gate. The
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: squery in infantry rushed in on crowds, and the barred
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: passage free. Entering the court with shouts, the skies they rend,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: and flaming firebrands to the roofs ascend himself among the
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 3: foremost deals the blows, and with his axe repeated strokes,
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 3: bestows on the strong doors. Then all their shoulders ply
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 3: till from the posts the brazen hinges fly. He hews
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 3: apace the double bars at length yield to his axe
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 3: and unresisted strength, A mighty breach is made, the rooms
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: concealed appeer, and all the palace is revealed. The halls
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: of audience and of public state, and where the lonely
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 3: queen in secret state, armed soldiers now by trembling maids
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 3: are seen with not a door, and scarce a space
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: between the house is filled with loud laments and cries
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 3: and shrieks of women rend the vaulted skies. The fearful
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 3: matrons run from place to place and kiss the thresholds,
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 3: and the posts embrace the fatal work in human peeress plies,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: and all his father sparkles in his eyes, nor bars,
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 3: nor fighting guards his force sustain. The bars are broken,
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: and the guards are slain in rushed the Greeks, and
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: all the apartments fill those few defendants whom they find
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: they kill notwith so fierce a rage. The foaming flood roars,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 3: when he finds his rapid course withstood, bears down the
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 3: dams with unresisted sway, and sweeps the cattle and the
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: cots away. These eyes beheld him when he marched between
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: the brother kings. I saw the unhappy Queen, the hundred wives,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: and where old Priam stood to stain his hallow altered
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 3: with his brood, the fifty nuptial beds. Such hopes had
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: he so large a promise of a progeny, the posts
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: of plated gold and hung with spoils, fell the reward
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 3: of the proud victor's toils. Wherever the raging fire had
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 3: left to space, the Grecians enter and possess the place.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: Perhaps you may a priam's fate. Inquire he when he
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: saw his regal town on fire, his ruined palace, and
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 3: his entering foes on every side, inevitable woes in arms,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 3: disused invest his limbs decayed like them, with age a
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 3: late and useless aid, his feeble shoulders scarce the weight sustain, loaded,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 3: not armed, he creeps along with pain, despairing of success,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: ambitious to be slain, uncovered, But by heaven, there stood
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: in view an altar near the hearth, a laurel grew,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: dotted with age, whose bow encompass round the household gods
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: and shade the holy ground. Here Hecuba, with her helpless
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: train of dames for shelter, sought, but sought in vain,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: Driven like a flock of doves along the sky, their
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: images they hug, and to their altars fly. The queen,
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 3: when she beheld her trembling lord, and hanging by his
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: side a heavy sword. What rage, she cried, has seized
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: my husband's mind. What arms are these? And to what use?
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 3: Designed these times? Want other aids were here? Even Hector,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: now in vain like Priam, would appear with us one
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: common shelter, Thou shalt find or in one common fate
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 3: with us be joined, she said, And with the last
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: salute embraced the poor old man, and by the laurel
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: placed behold Polites, one of Priam's sons, pursued by Peirus.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 3: Therefore safety runs, throws swords and foes, Amazed and hurt,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 3: he flies through empty courts and open galleries. Him peeris
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 3: urging with his lance, pursues and often reaches, and his
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 3: thrust's renews. The youth, transfixed with lamentable cries, expires before
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: his wretched parent's eyes, whom gasping at his feet. When
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 3: Priam saw the fear of death gave place to nature's law,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 3: and shaking more with anger than with age, the gods said,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 3: he requite thy brutal rage, as sure they will barbarian,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: sure they must. If there be gods in heaven, in
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 3: God's be just who takest in wrongs and insolent delight
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 3: with a son's death to infect a father's sight, nor
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 3: he whom thou in lying fame conspire to call thee
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 3: his not. He thy vaulted, sire, thy used my wretched age,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 3: the gods. He feared, the laws of nature and of
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: nations heard, he cheered my sorrows, and for sums of gold,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: the bloody carcass of my hector souled, pitied the woes.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: A paron underwent and set me back in safety from
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: his tent. This said his feeble hand. A javelin threw,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 3: which fluttering seemed to loiter as it flew just and
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 3: but barely to a market held, and faintly tinkled on
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 3: the brazen shield. Then Peiris said, go thou from me
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 3: to fate and to my father. My foul deeds relate.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 3: Now die. And with that he dragged the trembling sire,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 3: slittering through the clattered blood and holy mire, the mingled
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: paste his murdered son had made. A hauled from beneath
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 3: the violated shade, and on the sacred pile. The royal
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 3: victim laid his right hand held as bloody fucian bare
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 3: his left. He twisted in his hoary hair. Then with
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 3: the speeding thrust his heart, he found the lukewarm blood
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 3: came rushing through the wound. The sanguine streams disdained the
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: sacred ground. Thus Priam fell and shared one common fate,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 3: and with Troy and Ashes and his ruined state, He
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 3: who the scepter of all Asia swayed, whom monarchs, like
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 3: domestic slaves obeyed. On the bleak shore, now lies the
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 3: abandoned king, a headless carcase, in a nameless thing. Then,
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 3: not before I felt my crudal blood congeal with fear,
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 3: my hair with horror. Stood My father's image filled my
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: pious mind. Lest equal years might equal fortune find again,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 3: I thought my forsaken wife, and trembled from my son's
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 3: abandoned life. I looked about, but found myself alone, deserted
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 3: at my need. My friends were gone, some spent with toil,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 3: some with despair. Oppressed, leaped headlong from the heights. The
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 3: flames consumed the rest. Thus, wandering in my way without
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 3: a guide, the graceless helen in the porch, I spied
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 3: a Vesta's temple. There she lurked alone, muffled. She sate,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: and what she could unknown, But by the flames that
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 3: cast their blaze around that common bane of Greece and
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 3: Troy I found for ilium burns. She dreads the Trojan's sword,
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 3: more dreads the vengeance of her injured lord, even by
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 3: those gods who refuged her aboard trembled with rage, the
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 3: strumpet I regard resolved to give her guilt the due reward.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 3: Shall she triumphant sail before the wind, and leave on
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: flames unhappy Troy behind. Shall she her kingdom and her
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 3: friend's review in state, attended with a captive crew, while unrevenged,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 3: the good old priam falls and Grecian fires consumed the
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 3: Trojan walls. For this, the Phrygian fields in Xanthian flood
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 3: were swelled with bodies and were drunk with Bloodtis is
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 3: true a soldier can small honor, gain and boast no
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 3: conquest from a woman's slain. Yet shall the fact not
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 3: pass without applause. A vengeance taken in so just a
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 3: cause the punished crime shall set my soul at ease.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 3: The murmuring manes of my friends appease. Thus, while I
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 3: rave a gleam of pleasing light spread over the palace
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 3: and shining heavenly bright, My mother stood revealed before my sight.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 3: Never so radiant did her eyes appear, Not her own
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: star confessed a light so clear, great in her charms,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 3: as when on God's above she looks and breathes herself
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 3: into their love. She held my hand the destined blow
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 3: to break. Then from her rosy lips began to speak,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 3: my son. From whence this madness, this neglect of my
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 3: commands and those whom I protect? Why this unmanly rage?
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 3: Recall to mind whom you forsake, what pledges leave behind?
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 3: Look if your helpless father yet survive, or if Ascanius
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 3: or Corsa live around your house, the greedy grecians err
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 3: and these had perished in the knightly war. But in
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 3: my presence in protecting care, not Helen's face nor Paris
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 3: was in fault. But by the Gods was this destruction brought. Now,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 3: cast thy eyes around, while I dissolve the mists and
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 3: films that mortal eyes involve, Purge from your sight the dross,
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 3: and make you see the shape of every avenging deity enlightened.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 3: Thus my just commands fulfill nor fear obedience to Thy
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 3: mother's will, where yon disordered, heap of ruined lies, stones
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 3: rent from stones, where clouds of dust arise amid that smother.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 3: Neptune holds his place below the wall's foundation drives his
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 3: mace and heaves the filing from the solid base. Look
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: where in arms Imperial Juno stands full in the sky
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 3: on gate, with loud commands urging on shore the tardy
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 3: Grecian bands see see palace on her snakely buckler proud
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 3: bestrides the tower, refulgent through the crowd. See Jove. New
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: courage to the foe, supplies in arms against the town.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 3: The partial deities haste, Hence, my son, this fruitless labor
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: end haste, where your troubling spouse and sire attend haste
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 3: and a mother's care. Your passage shall be friend, she said,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 3: and swiftly vanished from my sight, obscured in clouds and
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 3: gloomy shades of night. I looked, I listened, dreadful sounds
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 3: I hear, and the dire forms of hostile gods appear.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 3: Troy sunken flames I saw, Nor could prevent and Ilium
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 3: from its old foundation's rent rent like a mountain ash
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 3: which dared the ws and stood the sturdy strokes of
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: laboring hinds about the roots. The cruel axe resounds, and
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 3: stumps are pierced with off repeated wounds. The war is
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 3: felt on high. The nodding crown now threats a fall
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 3: and throws the leafy honors down to their united force.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 3: It yields, though late, and mourns with immortal groans the
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 3: approaching fate. The roots no more their upper loads sustain,
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 3: But down she falls and spreads a ruin through the plain,
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 3: descending thence I scraped through foes and fire before the
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 3: goddess foes and flames retire, arrived at home. He for
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 3: whose only sake, or most for his such toils, I
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 3: undertake the good anchisus whom, by timely flight I propose
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 3: to secure on Ida's height, refused the journey, resolute to die,
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 3: and added his funerals to the fate of Troy. Rather
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 3: than exile and old age sustain, go you, whose blood
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 3: runs warm in every vein. Had Heaven decreed that I
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 3: should life and joy? Heaven had decreed to save unhappy Troy.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 3: Tis sure enough, if not too much for one twice
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 3: to have seen our ilium overthrown, Make haste to save
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 3: the poor remaining crew, and give this useless corpse a
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: long adio. These weak old hands suffice to stop my
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: breath at least pitying the foes will aid my death,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 3: to take my spoils and leave my body bare. As
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 3: for my sepulcher, let heaven take care. Tis long since I,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 3: for my celestial wife, loathe by the gods, had dragged
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 3: a lingering life. Since every hour and moment I expire,
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 3: blasted from heaven by Jove's avenging fire. This oft repeated.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 3: He stood fixed to die, myself, my wife, my son,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 3: my family, entreat, pray, beg and raise a doleful cry.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 3: What he still persist on death resolve and in his
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 3: ruin all his house involve He still persists his reason
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 3: to maintain. Our prayers, our tears, our loud laments are
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 3: vain urged by despair. Again, I go to try the
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: fate of arms, resolved in fight to die. What hope remains?
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 3: But what my death must give can I without? So
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 3: dear a father, live you termit prudence? What I baseness
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 3: call could such a word from such apparent fall? If
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 3: fortune please? And so the God's ordain that nothing should
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 3: have ruined Troy remain, and you conspire with fortune to
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 3: be slain. The way to death is wide, the approach
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 3: is near. For soon, relentless peeress will appear reeking with
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 3: Priam's blood, the wretch who slew the son inhuman in
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 3: the father's view, and then the sire himself to the
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 3: dire alter drew O, Goddess Mother, give me back to fate.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 3: Your gift was undesired and came too late. Did you
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 3: for this unhappy me? Convey through foes and fires to
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 3: see my house a prey shaw I, my father, wife
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 3: and son behold waltering and blood each other's arms, enfold, haste,
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 3: girt my sword, through spent and overcome. Tis the last
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 3: summons to receive our doom. I hear thee Fate, and
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: I obey thy call. Not unrevenged, the foe shall see
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: my fall, restore me the yet unfinished fight my death
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: is wanting to conclude. The knight. Armed once again my
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: glittering sword I wield while the other hand sustains my
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: weighty shield. And forth I rushed to seek the abandoned
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 3: field I went, but sad kroysa stopped my way and
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 3: crossed the threshold in my passage, lay embraced my knees,
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: and when I would have gone, showed me my feeble
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 3: sire and tender son. If death be your design, at least,
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 3: said she, take us along to sh share your destiny.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 3: If any farther hopes in arms remain this place, these
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 3: pledges of your love maintain. To whom do you expose
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 3: your father's life, your son's, and mine. You are now
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: forgotten wife. While thus she fills the house with clamoring cries,
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 3: our hearing is diverted by our eyes. For while I
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 3: held my son in the short space betwixt our kisses
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 3: and our last embrace strange to relate. From young Ulus's head,
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: a lambent flame arose, which gently spread around his brows
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 3: and on his temples. Fed amazed with running water, we
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 3: prepare to quench the sacred fire and slake his hair.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 3: But old anchisis versed in omens, reared his hands to heaven,
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 3: and this request preferred. If any vows, Almighty Joe can
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 3: bend thy will, if piety can prayers command confirm the
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 3: glad presage, which thou art please descend. Scarce had he said,
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 3: when on our left we hear where a peal of
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 3: rattling thunder roll and air. There shot a streaming lamp
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 3: across the sky, which on the winged lightning, seemed to
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 3: fly from o'er the roof. The blaze began to move,
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 3: and trailing vanished in the dean grove. It swept a
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 3: path in heaven and shown a guide. Then, in a
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 3: streaming stench of sulfur, died. The good old man, with
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 3: suppliant hands implored the God's protection and their star adored.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 3: Now now said he, my son, no more delay, I yield,
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 3: I follow where Heaven shows the way. Keep o my country, Gods,
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 3: our dwelling place, and guard this relic of the Trojan.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 3: Race this tender child. These omens are your own, and
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: you can yet restore the ruined town, at least accomplish
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 3: what your signs for show. I stand resigned and am
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 3: prepared to go, he said. The crackling fires appear on high,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 3: and driving sparkles dance along the sky with vulcans raged.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 3: The rising winds conspire, and near our palace roll the
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 3: flood of fire. Haste, my dear father, tis no time
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 3: to wait and load my shoulders with a willing freight.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 3: Whate'er befalls. Your life shall be my care, one death
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 3: or one deliverance, we will share. My hand shall lead
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 3: our little son, and you, my faithful consort, shall our
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 3: steps pursue. Next, You my servants, heed my strict commands.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 3: Without the walls. A ruined temple stands two series hallow'd
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 3: once a cypress nigh shoots up her venerable head on
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 3: high by long religion kept there, bend thy feet, and
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 3: in divided parties, let us meet our country gods, the
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 3: relics and the bands hold you, my father, in your
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 3: guiltless hands. In me tis impious holy things to bear.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 3: Red as I am with slaughter, new from war, till
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 3: in some living stream I cleanse the guilt of dire
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 3: debate and blood and battles spilt. Thus, ordering all that
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 3: prudence could provide, I clothed my shoulders with a lion's
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 3: hide and yellow spoils. Then on my bending back, the
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 3: welcome load of my father take. When on my better
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 3: hand ascanius hung and with unequal paces tripped along krousa
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 3: kept behind by choice, we stray through every dark and
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 3: every devious way, I who so bold and dauntless just
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 3: before the Grecian darts and shocks of lances bore at
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 3: every shadow, now seized with fear, not for myself, but
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 3: for the charges I bear till near the ruined gate.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 3: Arrived at last, secure and deeming all the danger past.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 3: A frightful noise of trampling feet, we hear my father
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 3: looking through the shades with fear cried out, Haste, haste,
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 3: my son. The foes are nigh, their swords and shining armor.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 3: I descry some hostile god, for some unknown offense had
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 3: sure bereft my mind of better sense. For while through
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 3: a winding ways, I took my flight and sought the
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 3: shelter of the gloomy night. At last I lost KROUSA.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 3: Hard to tell if by her fatal destiny she fell,
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 3: or weary sate, or wandering with affright, But she was
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 3: lost forever to my sight. I knew not nor reflected
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 3: till I meet my friends at Ceres, now deserted seat
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 3: we met. No one was wanting. Only she deceived her friends,
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 3: her son, and wretched me. What mad expressions did my
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 3: tongue refused? Whom did I not? Of gods and men accuse.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 3: This was the fatal blow that pained me more than
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 3: all I felt from ruined Troy before, Stung with my
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 3: loss and raving with despair, abandoning my now forgotten care
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 3: of counsel, comfort and of hope, bereft my sire, my son,
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 3: my country gods, I left in shining armor. Once again,
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 3: I sheathe my limbs, not feeling wounds nor fearing death.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 3: Then headlong to the burning walls, I run and seek
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 3: the danger I was forced to shun. I tread my
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 3: former tracks through the night, explore every passage, every street
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 3: I crossed before All things were full of horror and
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 3: affright and dreadful, even the silence of the night. Then
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 3: to my father's house, I make repair, with some small
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 3: glimpses of hope, to find her there instead of her,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 3: the cruel greeks I met. The house was filled with foes,
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 3: with flames beset driven on the wings of winds, whole
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 3: sheets of fire through air transported to the roofs aspire.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 3: From whence to Priam's palace, I resort and searched the
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 3: citadel and desert court. Then, unobserved, I passed by Juno's church.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 3: The guard of Grecians had possessed the porch. There Phoenix
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 3: and Ulysses watch prey, and thither all the wealth of
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 3: Troy convey the spoils which they from ransacked houses brought,
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 3: and golden bowls from burning altars, called the tables of
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 3: the gods, the purple vests, the people's treasure, and the
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 3: pomp of priests. A rank of wretched youths, with pinion
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 3: hands and captive matrons and long order stands. Then, with
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 3: ungoverned madness, I proclaim through all the silent street Kreis's name,
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 3: Chrysas Still I call. At length she hears, and sudden,
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 3: through the shades of night appears appears no more Krousa,
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 3: nor my wife, but a pale specter larger than the
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 3: life aghast. Astonished and struck, dumb with fear, I stood
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 3: like bristles rose my stiffened hair. Then thus the ghost
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 3: began to soothe my grief. Nor tears nor cries can
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 3: give the dead relief. Desist, my much love, Lord, to
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 3: indulge your pain. You bear no more than what the
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 3: gods ordaine. My fates permit me not from hence to fly,
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 3: nor he the great controller of the sky, long wandering
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 3: ways for you the power's decree on land, hard labors,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 3: and a length of sea. Then, after many painful years
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 3: are pasted on Latium's haply shore, you shall be cast
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 3: where gentle Tiber, from his bed beholds the flowery meadows
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 3: and the feeding folds. There in your toils, and there
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 3: your fates provide a quiet kingdom in a royal bride. There,
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 3: fortune shawl the Trojan line restore. And for you lost
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 3: Krousa weep no more. Fear not that I shall watch
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 3: with servile shame the imperious looks of some proud Grecian dame,
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 3: or stooping to the victor's lust, disgrace my goddess mother,
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 3: or my royal race. And now farewell the parent of
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 3: the gods restrains my fleeting soul in her abodes. I
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 3: trust our common issue to your care. She said, and,
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 3: gliding past, unseen in air, strove to speak. But horror
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 3: tied my tongue, and thrice about her neck. My arms
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 3: I flung, and thrice deceived. My vein embraces hung light
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 3: as an empty dream at break of day, or as
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 3: a blast of wind. She rushed away, thus having passed
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 3: the night in fruitless pain. I to my longing friends,
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 3: return again, amaze the augmented numbers, to behold of men
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 3: and Matred's mixed of young and old, with arms appointed
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 3: and with treasure fraught, resolved and willing under my command
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 3: to run all the hazards, both of sea and land.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 3: The morn began from Ida to display her rosy cheeks
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 3: and phosphor led. The day before the gates, the Grecians
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 3: took their post, and all pretense of late relief was lost.
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 3: I yield to fate unwillingly retire and loaded up the hill,
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 3: convey my sire.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 5: End of Book two, Book three and Strange Meetings Part one.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 5: When Heaven had overturned the Troy and state and priams
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 5: thrown by too severe a fate. When ruined Troy became
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 5: the Grecians prey, and Ilium's lofty towers in ashes lay
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 5: worn by celestial omens, we retreat to seek in foreign
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 5: lands a happier seat near old Aunt Andros, and at
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 5: Ida's foot the timber for the sacred grows. We cut
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 5: and build our fleet, uncertain yet to find what place
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 5: the gods for our repose assign'd friend's daily flock and scarce.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 5: The kindly spring began to clothe the ground, and birds
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 5: to sing. When old Ankeysus summoned all to see the crew,
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 5: my father and the fates obey with sighs and tears.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 5: I leave my native shore and empty fields where Helium
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 5: stood before my sire my son are less and greater gods.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 5: All sail at once and cleave the briny floods against
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 5: our coast. Appears a spacious land, which once the fierce
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 5: Lycurgus did command Trachya the name the people bowld in
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 5: war Vast are their fields, and tillage is their care.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 5: A hospital rim. While Fate was kind with Troy in
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 5: friendship and religion, joined I land with luckless omens than
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 5: a door. There gods, and draw a line along the shore.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 5: I lay the deep foundations of a wall and aenos
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 5: named from me the city call Todonian Venus Vous are paid,
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 5: and all the powers the rising labors aid a bull
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 5: on Joe's imperior altar laid not far. A rising hillock
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 5: stood in view, Sharp rittles on the sides, and corners
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 5: grew there. While I went to crop the sylvan scenes
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 5: and shade our altar with their leafy greens. I pull'd
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 5: a plant with horror, I relate a prodigy so strange
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 5: and full of fate. The rooted fibers rose, and from
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 5: the wound, black bloody drops distill'd upon the ground, mute
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 5: and amazed. My hair with terror, stood fear, shrunk my sinews,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 5: and congealed my blood. Man once again, another plant, I
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 5: try that other gush'd with the same sanguine dye. Then,
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 5: fearing guilt for some offense unknown, with prayers and vows
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 5: the trias, I atone with all the sisters of the woods,
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 5: and most the God of arms, who roused the track
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 5: young coast, that they or he these omens would avert
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 5: release our fears and better signs in part cleared as
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 5: I thought, and fully fixed at length to learn the
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 5: I tugg'd with all my strength. I bent my knees
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 5: against the ground once more, the violated myrtle ran with
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 5: gore scarce. There I tell the sequel from the womb
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 5: of wounded earth and caverns of the tomb. A groan
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 5: as of a troubled ghost renew'd my fright, And then
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 5: these dreadful words ensued. Why dost thou thus my buried body,
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 5: rent O spare the corpse of thy unhappy friend. Spare
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 5: to pullute thy pious hands with blood. The tears distilled
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 5: not from the wounded wood, but every drop this living
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 5: tree contains is kindered blood and ran in Troy, and
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 5: veins O fly from this unhospitable shore worn by my fate.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 5: For I am Polydore. Here loads a lances in my blood,
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 5: embrood again, shot upward by my blood, renewed my faltering tongue,
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 5: and shivering limbs, declare my horror, and in bristles rose
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 5: my hair. When Troy, with Grecian arms, was closely penned,
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 5: Old Priam, fearful of the war's event, this hapless polydor
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 5: to Trachi assent. Loaded with gold, he sent his darling
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 5: far from noise and tumults and destructive war, committed to
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 5: the faithless tyrant's care, who, when he saw the power
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 5: of Troy decline, forsook the weaker with the strong to join,
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 5: broke every bond of nature and of truth, and murdered
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 5: for his wealth the royal youth, Oh, sacred hunger of
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 5: pernicious gold. What bands of faith can impioce blucker hold. Now,
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 5: when my soul had shaken off her fears, I called
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 5: my father, and the troy and peers relate. The prodigies
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 5: of Heaven require what he commands, and their advice to ISAs sire,
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 5: all vow to leave that execrable shore polluted with the
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 5: blood of Polydor. But ere we sail his funeral. Rites
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 5: prepare then to his coast a tomb an altarstrare in
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 5: mournful pomp. The matrons walk round with baleful suppress and
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 5: blue fill its crowned, with eyes dejected and with hair unbound.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 5: The bowels of tipid milk and blood we pour and
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 5: thrice invoked the soul of Polydor. Now, when the rage
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 5: in storms no longer rain, but southern gales invite us
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 5: to the main. We launch our vessels with a prosperous wind,
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 5: and leave the cities and the shores behind. An island
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 5: in the eighth gan main appears Neptune, and the watry
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 5: Doris claim it theirs. It floated once till Foibus fix'd
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 5: the sides to rooted earth, and now it braves the tides. Here,
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 5: borne by friendly winds, we come ashore with needful ease
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 5: our weary limbs restore, and the Sun's temple and his
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 5: town adore. Aunyus the priest and king, with laurld crown,
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 5: his hoary locks with purple filts bound, who saw my
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 5: sire the daily on shores end, came forth with eager
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 5: haste to meet his friend, invites him to his palace,
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 5: and in sign of ancient love their plighted hands they join.
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 5: Then to the temple of the God, I went, and
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 5: thus before the shrine my vows present, give, or Timbrius,
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 5: give a resting place to the sad relics of the
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 5: Troyon race, a seat secure, a region of their own,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 5: a lasting empire, and a happier town. Where shall we fix,
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 5: where shall our labors end? Whom shall we follow? And
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 5: what fate attend? Let not my prayer's doubtful answer fine,
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 5: but in clear auguris unveil thy mind. Scarce had I said,
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 5: He shook the holy ground, the laurels, and the lofty
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 5: hills around, and from the tree pus rush'd a bellowing sound.
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 5: Prostrate we fell, confess'd the present God, who gave this
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 5: answer from his dark abode. Undaunted youth, go seek that
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 5: mother ers from which your ancestors derive their birth. The
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 5: soil that sent you forth her ancient rays in her
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 5: old bosom, shall again embrace through the wide world. The
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 5: Aeneian house shall reign, and children's children shall the crown sustain. Thus,
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 5: foibus did our future fates disclose? A mighty tumult mix'd
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 5: with joy arose? Or are concerned to know what place
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 5: the God assigned and where determined our abode? My father,
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 5: long revolving in his mind the race and lineage of
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 5: the Troyan kind, thus answered their demands. Ye princes, here
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 5: your pleasing fortune and dispel your fear. The fruitful isle
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 5: of Crete, well known to fame, sacred of old to
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 5: Joe's imperial name, in the mid Ocean, lies with large command,
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 5: and on its plains a hundred cities stand. Another ed
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 5: arises there, and we from thence derive our Troyan ancestry.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 5: From thence as is divulged by certain fame. To the
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 5: Rueitan shores old Tevkus came they're fixed, and there the
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 5: seat of empire shows ere Ilium, and the Troyan towers arose.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 5: In humble Wales, they built their soft abodes till Sibule,
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 5: the mother of the gods, with tinkling symbols, charm'd the
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 5: Idean woods, the secret rites and ceremonies taught, and to
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 5: the joke the savage lions brought. Let us the land
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 5: which Heaven appoints. Explore, appease the winds, and seek the
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 5: Gnostian shore. If Jove assist the passage of our fleet,
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 5: the third propitious Dorn discovers Crete. Thus, having said the sacrifices,
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 5: slaid on smoking altars to the gods. He paid a
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 5: bull to Neptune, an Oblacian due, another bull to bright Apollo,
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 5: slew a milk quite eve the western winds to please,
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 5: and one cold black to calm the stormy seas. Ere
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 5: this a flying rumor had been spread that fierce Idomenus
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 5: from Crete was fled, expelled, and exiled, that the coast
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 5: was free from foreign or domestic enemy. We leave the
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 5: Delian ports and put to sea by Naxos, famed for vintage.
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 5: Make our way, then greened on Zappas, and sail inside
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 5: of Paros isle with marble quarries white. We passed the
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 5: scattered isles of Cucladus, that scarce distinguished seemed to stud
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 5: the seas. The shouts of sailors double near the shores.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 5: They stretched their canvas, and they ply their oars, all
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 5: hands aloft for crete, for crete, they cry, and swiftly
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 5: through the foamy billows fly full on the promised land.
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 5: At length we bore with joy, descending on the crete
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 5: on shore, with eager haste. A rising town I frame,
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 5: which from the Troyan Pergamus I name. The name itself
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 5: was grateful. I exhort to found their houses and erect
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 5: a fort. Our ships are hauled upon the jailstrand, the
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 5: youth begin to till the labor'd land, and I myself
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 5: new marriages promote, give laws and dwellings. I divide by lot.
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 5: When rising vapors choke the wholesome air, and blasts of
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 5: noisome winds corrupt the air, the trees devouring, caterpillars burn
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 5: parch was the grass, and blighted was the corn. Nor
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 5: escape the beasts, for serious from on high, with pestilential
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 5: heat infects the sky. My men, some fall, the rest
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 5: in fevers fry again. My father bids me seek the
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 5: shore of sacred Delus, and the god implore to learn
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 5: what end of woes we might expect, and to what
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 5: clime our weary course direct twas night when every creature
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 5: void of cares the common gift of balmy slumber, shares
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 5: the statues o my gods, For such they seem'd, those
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 5: gods whom I from flaming Troy redeem'd before me, stood
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 5: majestically bright full in the beams of foebus entering light.
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 5: Then thus they spoke, and east my troubled mind. What
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 5: from the Delian God thou goest to find? Ye tell'st
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 5: thee here and sends us to relate those powers? Are
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 5: we companions of thy fate, who from the burning town
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 5: by THEE were brought Thy fortune follow'd and thy safety
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 5: wrought through seas and lands. As we thy steps attend.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 5: So shall our care thy glories raise befriend an ample
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 5: realm for thee thy fate sodaign a town that o'er
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 5: the conquer'd world shall reign. Thou mighty walls for mighty
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 5: nations build. Nor let thy weary mind to labors yield,
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 5: but change thy seat for not the Delian God, nor
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 5: we have given thee crete for our abode. A land
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 5: there is Hesperia called of old, the soil is fruitful,
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 5: and the natives bold. Thee O not transheld at once
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 5: by later fame now call'd Italia from the leader's name Lasius.
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 5: There and Ardanus were born. From thence we came, and
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 5: thither must return. Rise, and thy sire, with these glad tidings,
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 5: creet search Italy for Jove denies thee Crete astonished at
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 5: their voices and their sight. Nor were they dreams but
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 5: visions of the night I saw. I knew their faces,
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 5: and described in perfect view their hair. With philets tide.
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 5: I started from my couch a clammy sweet on all
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 5: my limbs and shivering bodies. Sake to Heaven. I lift
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 5: my hands with pieus haste, and say, gred incense in
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 5: the flames. I cast thus to the gods their perfect honors.
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 5: Done more cheerful to my good old sire. I run
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 5: and tell the pleasing news. In little space he found
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 5: his error of the double race, not as before he
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 5: deem'd deriv'd from Crete, no more deluded by the doubtful
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 5: seat than said O sun turmoil'd in Troy and faith.
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 5: Such things as these Cassandra did relate this day revives
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 5: within my mind what she foretold of Troy renewed in
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 5: Italy the Lartian lands. But who could then have thought
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 5: that freegin gods to Latium should be brought? Or who
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 5: believ'd what mad Cassandra taught. Now let us go where
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 5: Foybus leads the way, he said, and we, with glad
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 5: consent obey forsake the seat, and leaving few behind, we
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 5: spread our sails before the willing wind. Now from the
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 5: sight o land, our gallleys move with only seas around
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 5: and skies about. When o'er our heads descends, a burst
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 5: of rain and night with sable clouds involves the main,
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 5: the ruffling winds, the foamy billus rays. The scattered fleet
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 5: is forced to several ways. The face of Heav'n is
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 5: ravished from our eyes, and in redoubled peals, the roaring
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 5: thunder flies cast from our course. We wander in the dark,
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 5: no stars to guide, no point of land to mark,
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 5: even Pallinarus, no distinction found betwixt the night and day.
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 5: Such darkness rain'd around three starless nights, the doubtful navy
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 5: strays without distinction, and three sunless days. The fourth renews
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 5: the light and from our shrouds we view a rising land.
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 5: Like distant clouds. The mountain tops confirm the pleasing sight,
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 5: and curling smoke ascending from their height. The canvas false
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 5: their oars. The sailors ply from the rude strokes. The
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 5: whirling waters fly at length. I land upon the strophades,
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 5: save from the dangers of the stormy sease. Those isles
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 5: are compassed by the union Man, the dire abode by
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 5: the foul Harpius reign, forced by the winged warriors to
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 5: repair to their old homes and leave their costly fare
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 5: monsters more fears offended Heaven never sent from Hell's abyss
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 5: for human punishment, with virgin faces, but with wombs, obscene,
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 5: foul paunches and wi or door still unclean, with claws
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 5: for hands, and looks forever lean. We landed at the
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 5: port and soon beheld fat herds of oxen grace, the
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 5: flow'ry field, and wanton goats without a keeper. Strayed with weapons,
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 5: we the welcome prey, invade. Then call the gods for
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 5: partners of our feast, and jove himself the chief invited guest.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 5: We spread the tables on the greensward ground we fed
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 5: with hunger, and the bowls go round. When from the
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 5: mountain tops, with hidgeous cry and clattering wings, the hungry
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 5: harpies fly. They snatch the meat, defiling all they find,
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 5: and parting leave a loath some stench behind. Close by
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 5: a hollow rock, again we sit new dress, the dinner,
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 5: and the beds refit secure from sight beneath a pleasing
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 5: shade where tufted trees a native arbor maid. Again the
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 5: holy fires on altars burn, and once again when the
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 5: ravenous birds return, or from the dark recesses where they lie,
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 5: or from another quarter of the sky, with filthy claws
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 5: their ogious meal repeat and mix their loath some orders
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 5: with their meat. I bid my friends for vengeance. Then prepare,
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 5: and with the Hellish nation wage the war. They as
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 5: commanded for the fight, provide, and in the grass their
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 5: glittering weapons side. Then, when along the crooked shore we
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 5: hear their clattering wings and saw the foes appear, messeno
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 5: sounds a charge, we take the alarm, and our strong
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 5: hands with swords and buckler's arm. In this new kind
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 5: of combat, all employ their outmost force the monsters to
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 5: destroy in vain the fatal skin is prooved to wounds,
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 5: and from their plumes the shining sword ry bonds and
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 5: at length rebuff. They leave their mangled prey and their
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 5: stretched pinions to the sky's display. Yet one remained, the
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 5: messenger of Fate high on a craggy cliff. Selano sate,
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 5: and thus Sir dismal errand did relate what not contended
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 5: with our oxen slain. Dare you, with heaven an impious war,
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 5: maintain and drive the harpies from their native brain. He
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 5: therefore what I say, and keep in mind what Joe
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 5: decrease what Foibus has design'd, and I the furies queen
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 5: from both relate. You seek the Italian shores for a
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 5: doom by Fate. The Italian shores are granted you to
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 5: find and a safe passage to the port assign'd. But
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 5: know that ere your promised walls you build, my curses
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 5: shall severely be fulfilled. Fierce famine is your lot for
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 5: this misdeed, reduced to grin the plates on which you feed.
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 5: She said, And to the neighb'ring forest flew. Our courage
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 5: fails us and our fears renew, hopeless to win by war,
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 5: to prayers we fall, and on the offended harp is
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 5: humbly call. And whether gods or birds obscene, they were
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 5: our vows for pardon and for peace prefer but old anchises,
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 5: offering sacrifice, and lifting up to heaven his hands and
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 5: eyes adore the greater gods. Avert said he these omens
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 5: render vain this prophecy, and from the impending curse a
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 5: pious people free. Thus, having said he bids us put
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 5: to sea. We loose from shore our halsers and obey,
• 2:25:53
  Speaker 5: and soon, with swelling sails, pursue the watery way amidst
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 5: our course, Sacinthian woods appear, and next by rocky Nritus
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 5: we stare. We fly from Itacha's detested shore, and curse
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 5: the land which dire ulysses bore. At length, Lecrta's cloudy
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 5: top appears, and the Sun's temple, which the sailor fars
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 5: resolved to breathe. A while from labor past our crooked anchors,
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 5: from the pro we cast and joyful to the little city.
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 5: Haste here, safe beyond our hopes, our vows. We pay
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 5: to Joe, the guide and patron of our way. The
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 5: customs of our country. We pursue and try and games
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 5: on Acxian shores, renew our youth, their naked limbs, besmear
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 5: with oil, and exercise the rustler's noble toil. Pleased to
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 5: have sailed so long before the wind, and left so
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 5: many Grecian towns behind the sun. I had now fulfilled
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 5: his annual course, and Boreas on the seas, displayed his force.
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 5: I fixed upon the temple's lofty door, the brazen shield
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 5: which vanquished Arba's bore the verse beneath my name and
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 5: action speaks these arms eneas took from conquering Greeks. Then
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 5: I command to weigh the seamen ply their sweeping oars,
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 5: the smoking billows flying the sight of high Phayas Yasom
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 5: we lost and skimm'd along Epirus, rocky gust, then to
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 5: Coonia sport. Our course we bend and landed to Buttrothus
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 5: heights ascend here. Wonder things were loudly placed fame. How
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 5: Helenus revived the Troyan name and reigned in grief that
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 5: Priam's captive son succeeded Pirrus in his bed and thrown
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 5: and fair Androma get restored by fate. Once more was
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 5: happy in a troy and mate. I leave my galis
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 5: riding in the port, and longed to see the new
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 5: Dardanian court. By chance, the mournful queen before the gate
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 5: then solemnized her former husband's fate. Green altars raised on turf,
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 5: with gifts, she crown'd and sacred priests in order stand
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 5: around and thrice the name of hapless Hector sound. The
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 5: grove itself resembles das would and Seamus seemed that well
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 5: dissembled flood. But when at nearer distance she beheld my
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 5: shining armor and my troy and shield. Astonished at the sight,
• 2:28:51
  Speaker 5: the vital heat forsakes her limbs, her veins no longer beat,
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 5: She faints, She falls and scarce recovering strength. Thus, with
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 5: a faltering tongue, she speaks at length. Are you alive? O?
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 5: God is born? She said? Or if a ghost, then
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 5: where is Hector's shade?
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 4: Not this?
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 5: She cast a loud and frightful cry with broken words.
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 5: I made this brief reply. All of me that remains
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 5: appears in sight. I live, if living to beloath the light,
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 5: no phantom, But I drag a wretched life, my fate
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 5: resembling that of Hector's wife, What have you suffered since
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 5: you lost your lord? By what strange blessing? Are you
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 5: now restor'd? Still? Are you Hector's or is hector fled?
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 5: And this remembrance lost? In puer s bed with eyes dejected,
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 5: in a lowly tone, after the modest pause, She's thus
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 5: begun O only happy maid of Priam's race, whom death
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 5: deliver'd from the foesome praise. Commanded on a kill's tomb
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 5: to die, not forced like us, to hard captivity, or
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 5: in a haughty master's arms, to lie in Grecian ship's
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 5: unhappy we were born, endure the victor's lust, sustain'd the scorn.
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 5: Thus I submitted to the lawless pride of Peeress, more
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 5: a handmaid than a bride. Cloyd with possession. He forsook
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 5: my bed, and Helen's lovely daughter sought to wed then
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 5: me to Troy, and Helenus resign'd, and his two slaves,
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 5: in equal marriage join'd till young Orestes pierced with deep
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 5: despair and longing to redeem the promis'd fair before Apaulus
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 5: Altar slew the ravisher. By Purre's death, the kingdom we
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 5: regain'd at least one half with Helenus remain'd our part
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 5: from Khan he he Caonia, calls and names from Pargamus
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 5: his rising walls. But you, what fates have landed on
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 5: our coast? What gods have sent you? Or what storms
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 5: have toss'd? Does young Ascarus life and health and joy
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 5: saved from the ruins of unhappy Troy? Oh? Tell me
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 5: how is mother's loss he bears? What hopes are promised
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 5: from his blooming years? How much of hector in his
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 5: face appears? She spoke and mixed her speech with mournful cries,
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 5: and fruitless tears came trickling from her eyes. At length,
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 5: her lord descends upon the plain in pomp attended with
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 5: a numerous strain, receives his friends and to the city
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 5: leads and tears of joy amidst his welcome sheds. Proceeding
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 5: on another Troy, I see or in less compass Troy's
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 5: epitome a rivlet by the name of Xantostran, and I
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 5: embrace the Scaean gate again. My friends in Porticos were
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 5: entertain'd and feasts and pleasures through the city, reign'd the
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 5: tables fill'd the spacious hall around and golden bowls with
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 5: sparkling wine were crown'd. Two days we pass'd in mirth,
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 5: till friendly gales blown from the suppli'd our swelling sails.
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 5: Then to the royal sere. I thus began, O thou,
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 5: who know'st beyond the reach of man the laws of heav'n,
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 5: and what the stars decree, whom Foybus taught unerring prophecy
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 5: from his own tripod and his holy tree, skill'd in
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 5: the winged inhabitants of air, what our species there know
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 5: and flights declare, O say, for all religious rites pertend
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 5: a happy voyage and a prosperous end, And every power
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 5: and omen of the sky direct my course for destined Italy,
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 5: but only dire celana from the gods, a dismal famine
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 5: fatally foreboats, Oh, say what dangers I am first to shun,
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 5: what towards vanquish, and what course to run? The prophet first,
• 2:33:32
  Speaker 5: with sacrifice a doors the greater gods their pardon, then
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 5: implores unbinds the fillid from his holy head to foibus.
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 5: Next my trembling steps he lad, full of religious doubts
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 5: and awful dread, And then with his god possess'd before
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 5: the shrine. These words proceeded from his mouth. Divine, O
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 5: God is born. For Heaven's appointed will with greater or
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 5: spy is of good than ill. Foreshows thy voyage and
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 5: thy course directs thy fate conspire, and Joe himself protects
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 5: of many things, some few I shall explain. Teach thee
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 5: to shun the dangers of the main, and how at
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 5: length the promised shore to gain the rest the fates
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 5: from Helenu's conceal and junus angry power forbids to tell. First,
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 5: Then that happy shore that seems so nigh, will far
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 5: from you deluded wishes fly long tracts of seas, divide
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 5: your hopes from Italy. For you must cruise along Sicilian
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 5: shores and stem the currents with your struggling oars. Then
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 5: round the Italian coast your navy stare, and after this
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 5: Tokirkus Island, where and last, before your new foundations rise,
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 5: must pass the Stygian Lake and view the nether skies.
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 5: Now mark the signs of future ease and rest, and
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 5: bear them safely treasured in thy breast. When in the
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 5: shady shelter of a wood and near the margin of
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 5: a gentle flood. Thou shalt behold a sow upon the ground,
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 5: with thirty sucking young encompassed round the dam, and offspring
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 5: white as fall in snow. These on thy city shall
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 5: their name bestow, and there shall end thy labors and
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 5: thy woe. Nor let the threatened famine fright thy mind,
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 5: For Foibus will assist and fate the wave will find.
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 5: Let not thy course to that ill coast be bent,
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 5: which fronts from far the Epyrean continent. Those parts are
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 5: all by Grecian foes, possessed the salvage Locrians. Here the
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 5: shores infest the fierce Idomenus. His city builds and guards
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 5: with arms the Salentinian fields, And on the mountain sprow
• 2:36:06
  Speaker 5: Petelia stands, which Philoctus, with his troops commands. Even when
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 5: thy fleet is landed on the shore, and priests with
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 5: wholly vows the God's adore. Then with a purple veil,
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 5: involve your eyes lest hostile faces blast the sacrifice these
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 5: rights and customs to the rest. Commend that to your
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 5: pious rays they may descend. End of Book three, Part
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 5: one of the Enide. Book three, Sea Wanderings and Strange
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 5: Meetings Part two when parted. Hence the wind that ready
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 5: waits for sicily shall bear you to the straits, will
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 5: proud Pelorus opes a wide a way tack to the larboard,
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 5: and stand off to sea where starboard sea and land,
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 5: the Italian shore and far Cecilia's coast were won before
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 5: an earthquake caus'd the floor the roaring tides, the passage
• 2:37:18
  Speaker 5: broke that land from land divides, and where the lands
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 5: retir'd the rushing ocean rights distinguish'd by the straits on
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 5: either hand. Now rising cities in long orders stand and
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 5: fruitful fields. So much can time invade the molding work
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 5: that beauteous nature made far on the right, her dog's
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 5: Falscilla hides carib destroaring on the left presides and in
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 5: her greedy whirlpool sucks the tides, then spouts them from
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 5: below with fury driv'n. The waves mount up and wash
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 5: the face of heaven, but Scilla from her den with
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 5: open jaws. The sinking vessel in her eddy drawers then
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 5: dashes on the rocks and human face. A virgin bosom
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 5: hides her tail's disgrace, her parts obscene below the waves
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 5: descend with dogs enclosed, and in adolphin end tis safer
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 5: then to bear aloof to sea and coast Pacchinus, though
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 5: with more delay than once to view mishappens skill an air,
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 5: and the loud yell of war revolves to hear. Besides,
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 5: if faith to Helenus pitu, and if prophetic Foibus tell
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 5: me true, do not disprecept of your friend forget, which
• 2:38:59
  Speaker 5: therefore more than once I must repeat above the rest
• 2:39:04
  Speaker 5: great Junus name adore, pay vows to Juno Junus aid, implore,
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 5: let gifts be to the mighty queen designed and mollify
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 5: with prayers her haughty mind. Thus at the length your
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 5: passage shall be free, and you shall safe descend on Italy,
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 5: arrived at Cume. When you view the flood of black
• 2:39:32
  Speaker 5: avaroness and the sound in wood the mad prophetic Sybil,
• 2:39:37
  Speaker 5: you shall find dark in a cave and on a
• 2:39:40
  Speaker 5: rock reclined, she sings the fates, and in her frantic
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 5: fits the notes and names inscribed to leaves, commits what
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 5: she commits to leaves in order laid before the cavern's
• 2:39:59
  Speaker 5: entrance are display'd unmood, they lie. But if a blast
• 2:40:04
  Speaker 5: o wind without or wapers issue from behind. The leaves
• 2:40:10
  Speaker 5: are borne aloft in liquid air, and she resumes no
• 2:40:15
  Speaker 5: more her museful care, nor gathers from the rocks, her
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 5: scatter'd verse, nor sets in order what the winds disperse.
• 2:40:26
  Speaker 5: Thus many not succeeding, most upbraid the madness of the
• 2:40:31
  Speaker 5: visionary maid, and with the loud curses leave the mystic shade.
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 5: Think it not loss of time A while to stay,
• 2:40:42
  Speaker 5: though thy companions chide thy long delay, thou summon'd to
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 5: the seas, though pleasing gales invite thy course and stretch
• 2:40:54
  Speaker 5: thy swelling sails. But beg the sacred priest is to
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 5: relate with willing words, and not to write thy fate.
• 2:41:03
  Speaker 5: The fierce Italian people. She will show and all thy
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 5: wars and all thy future woe, and what thou must
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 5: avoid and what must undergo. She shall direct thy course,
• 2:41:18
  Speaker 5: instruct thy mind, and teach thee how the happy shores
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 5: to find. This is what Heaven allows me to relate. Now,
• 2:41:28
  Speaker 5: part in peace, pursue thy better fate, and raise thy
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 5: strength of arms. The Troyan state this when the priest,
• 2:41:39
  Speaker 5: with friendly voice declared, he gave me license and rich
• 2:41:44
  Speaker 5: gifts prepared bounteous of treasure. He supplied my want with
• 2:41:49
  Speaker 5: heavy gold and polish'd elephant. Then Dodonian caldrons put on board,
• 2:41:57
  Speaker 5: and every ship with sums of seal were stor'd a
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 5: trusty coat of mail to me. He sent thries chain'd
• 2:42:06
  Speaker 5: with gold for use and ornament. The helm of Peirus
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 5: added to the rest that flourish'd with the plume and
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 5: waving crest. Nor was my sire forgotten, nor my friends
• 2:42:22
  Speaker 5: and large recruits. He to my navy's sends men horses,
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 5: captain's arms, and warlike stores. Supplies new pilots and new
• 2:42:33
  Speaker 5: sweeping oars. Meantime, my sire commands to hoist our sails,
• 2:42:39
  Speaker 5: lest we should lose the first auspicious gales. The prophet
• 2:42:44
  Speaker 5: blessed the parting crew, and last with words like these,
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 5: his ancient friend embrys'd old happy man the care of
• 2:42:54
  Speaker 5: God's above whom heavenly Venus honor'd with her love, and
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 5: twice press thy life. When Troy was lost, behold from
• 2:43:04
  Speaker 5: far the wisht a Sawnian coast their land. But take
• 2:43:09
  Speaker 5: a larger compass round, for that before is all forbidden ground.
• 2:43:15
  Speaker 5: The shore that Foybus has designed for you at farther
• 2:43:19
  Speaker 5: distant lies conceal'd from view. Go happy, hence and seek
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 5: your new abods, blest in a sun unfavored by the gods.
• 2:43:30
  Speaker 5: For I, with useless words, prolong your stay when southern
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 5: gales have summoned you away. Nor less the queen our
• 2:43:40
  Speaker 5: parting thence deplor'd, nor was less bounteous than her troy
• 2:43:46
  Speaker 5: and lord. A noble present to my son. She brought
• 2:43:51
  Speaker 5: a robe with flowers on gold and tissue, wrought a
• 2:43:54
  Speaker 5: Phrygian vest, and loads with gifts beside a precious texture
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 5: and of Asian pride. Except she said, these monuments of love,
• 2:44:07
  Speaker 5: which in my youth with happier hands, I vow regard
• 2:44:11
  Speaker 5: these trifles for the giver's sake. Tis the last present
• 2:44:16
  Speaker 5: Hector's wife can make. Thou caust my lost astianax to
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 5: mind in thee his features and his form. I find
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 5: his eyes so sparkled with a lively flame, Such were
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 5: his motions, such was all his frame, And ah had
• 2:44:38
  Speaker 5: heaven so pleas'd his years had been the same with tears.
• 2:44:44
  Speaker 5: I took my last adieu and said, your fortune happy
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 5: pair already made leaves you no farther wish my different state,
• 2:44:55
  Speaker 5: avoiding one incurs another fate to you a quiet seat
• 2:45:01
  Speaker 5: the gods allow you have no shores to search, nor
• 2:45:05
  Speaker 5: cease to plow, nor fields of flying Italy to chase
• 2:45:11
  Speaker 5: deluding visions, and a vain embrace. You see another simoas
• 2:45:18
  Speaker 5: and enjoy the labor of your hands, another Troy, with
• 2:45:23
  Speaker 5: better auspice than her ancient towers, and less obnoxious to
• 2:45:29
  Speaker 5: the Grecian powers. If ever the gods whom I with
• 2:45:34
  Speaker 5: vows adore, conduct my steps to Tibur's happy shore. If
• 2:45:39
  Speaker 5: ever I ascend the Lattian throne and build a city
• 2:45:44
  Speaker 5: I may call my own, as both of us our
• 2:45:48
  Speaker 5: birth from Troy derive. So let our kindred lines in
• 2:45:52
  Speaker 5: concord live, and both, in acts of equal friendship, strive.
• 2:45:58
  Speaker 5: Our fortunes, good or bad, shall be the same. The
• 2:46:02
  Speaker 5: double Troy shall differ, but in name that what we
• 2:46:07
  Speaker 5: now begin may never end, but long to late posterity
• 2:46:13
  Speaker 5: descend near the Seronian rocks. Our course we bore the
• 2:46:19
  Speaker 5: shortest passage to the Italian shore. Now had the sun
• 2:46:24
  Speaker 5: withdrawn his radiant light, and hills were hid in dusky
• 2:46:28
  Speaker 5: shades of night. We land, and on the bosom of
• 2:46:32
  Speaker 5: the ground, a safe retreat, and a bare lodging found
• 2:46:37
  Speaker 5: close by the shore, we lay, the sailors keep their watches,
• 2:46:42
  Speaker 5: and the rest securely sleep the night. Proceeding on with
• 2:46:48
  Speaker 5: silent pace, stood in her noon and view'd with equal
• 2:46:52
  Speaker 5: face her steep rise and her declining race. Then wakeful
• 2:46:59
  Speaker 5: Pallinurus rose to spy the face of heaven and the
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 5: nocturnal sky, and listened every breath of air to try
• 2:47:09
  Speaker 5: observes the stars and notes their sliding course, the playods,
• 2:47:15
  Speaker 5: hiads and their watery force, and both the bears is
• 2:47:20
  Speaker 5: careful to behold, and bright orion arm with burnished gold. Then,
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 5: when he saw no threatening tempest nigh, but a sure
• 2:47:31
  Speaker 5: promise of a settled sky, he gave the sign to
• 2:47:35
  Speaker 5: way we break our sleep, forsake the pleasing shawl, and
• 2:47:40
  Speaker 5: plow the deep and now the rising morn with rosy
• 2:47:45
  Speaker 5: light adorns the skies, and put the stars to flight.
• 2:47:51
  Speaker 5: When we from far like bluish mist, discreet the hills
• 2:47:56
  Speaker 5: and then the plains of Italy, a cart first pronounced
• 2:48:01
  Speaker 5: the joyful sound. Then Italy the cheerful crew rebound. My
• 2:48:07
  Speaker 5: sire ncisses crowned a cup with wine and offering. Thus
• 2:48:12
  Speaker 5: implored the power's divine Ye gods presiding over lands and seas,
• 2:48:19
  Speaker 5: and you who raging winds and waves apiece breathe on
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 5: our swelling sails, a prosperous wind, and smooth our passage
• 2:48:29
  Speaker 5: to the port assinged the gentle gales their flagging force
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 5: renew and now the happy harbor is in view. Minerva's
• 2:48:40
  Speaker 5: temple then salutes our site, placed as a landmark on
• 2:48:45
  Speaker 5: the mountain side. We furl our sails and turn the
• 2:48:49
  Speaker 5: prows to shore. The curling waters round the galley's roar.
• 2:48:55
  Speaker 5: The land lies open to the raging east. Then, bending
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 5: like a bough with rocks compress'd, shuts out the storms.
• 2:49:04
  Speaker 5: The winds and waves complain and vent their malice on
• 2:49:09
  Speaker 5: the cliffs in vain. The port lies hid within on
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 5: either side two towering rocks. The narrow mouth divide the temple,
• 2:49:20
  Speaker 5: which aloft we viewed before to distance flies and seems
• 2:49:25
  Speaker 5: to shun the shore scarce landed. The first omens I
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 5: beheld were four white steeds that crop the flow'ry field.
• 2:49:35
  Speaker 5: War war is threaten'd from this foreign ground, my father cried,
• 2:49:40
  Speaker 5: where warlike steeds are found yet since reclaimed to cherish,
• 2:49:46
  Speaker 5: they submit and bend to stubborn jokes and champ the bit.
• 2:49:51
  Speaker 5: Peace may succeed to war our way. We bend to
• 2:49:55
  Speaker 5: Pallace and the sacred hill. Ascend there prost rate to
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 5: the fierce Virago prey, whose temple was the landmark of
• 2:50:05
  Speaker 5: our way, each with a Phrygian mantle veiled his head,
• 2:50:11
  Speaker 5: and all commands of Helenus obeyed, and pious rites to
• 2:50:16
  Speaker 5: Grecian Juneo paid, these Jews perform. We stretch our sails
• 2:50:22
  Speaker 5: and stand to sea, forsaking that suspected land from hence
• 2:50:28
  Speaker 5: tarentum space appears in view for Hercules renowned, if fame
• 2:50:34
  Speaker 5: be true. Just opposite Lacinian Junus stands Cowloonian towers and
• 2:50:42
  Speaker 5: Sclassian strands for shipwrecks sphered Mount Etna's. Thence we spy
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 5: known by the smoky flames which cloud the sky. Far off.
• 2:50:55
  Speaker 5: We hear the waves with surly sound, invade the rocks.
• 2:50:59
  Speaker 5: The rocks their groans rebound, the billows, break upon the
• 2:51:04
  Speaker 5: sounding strand, and roll the rising tide impure with sand.
• 2:51:11
  Speaker 5: Then thus anchises inexperience. Old tis that Charybdis which the
• 2:51:17
  Speaker 5: seer foretold, and those promised rocks bear off to sea
• 2:51:23
  Speaker 5: with haste. The frighted mariners obey first Pallinurus to the larboard,
• 2:51:29
  Speaker 5: d then all the fleet, by his examples, stir'd to Heaven,
• 2:51:33
  Speaker 5: aloft of richy waves. We ride, then down to Hell,
• 2:51:37
  Speaker 5: descend when they divide, And thrice our galleys knocked the
• 2:51:42
  Speaker 5: stony ground, and thrice the hollow rocks return'd the sound.
• 2:51:47
  Speaker 5: And thrice we saw the stars that stood with dews
• 2:51:50
  Speaker 5: around the flagging winds forsook us with the sun, and
• 2:51:56
  Speaker 5: wearied on cuclopian shores. We run the oat, capacious and secure,
• 2:52:02
  Speaker 5: from wind Is to the foot of thundering Etna. Joined
• 2:52:08
  Speaker 5: by turns a pitchy cloud, she rolls on high by
• 2:52:12
  Speaker 5: turns hot embers from her en trails fly, and flakes
• 2:52:17
  Speaker 5: of mounting flames that lick the sky oft from her
• 2:52:21
  Speaker 5: bough's massy rocks are thrown and shiver'd by the force,
• 2:52:25
  Speaker 5: come piece mill down oft. Liquid lakes of burning sulfur
• 2:52:31
  Speaker 5: flow fed from the fiery springs that boil below ensilad
• 2:52:36
  Speaker 5: as they say, transfixed by jove with blasted limbs, came
• 2:52:41
  Speaker 5: tumbling from a bough, and where he fell. The avenging
• 2:52:45
  Speaker 5: Father drew this flaming hill, and on his body through
• 2:52:51
  Speaker 5: as often as he turns his weary sides, he shakes
• 2:52:55
  Speaker 5: the solid isle and smoke the heaven sides. In shady woods.
• 2:53:01
  Speaker 5: We passed the tedious night, where bellowing sounds and groans
• 2:53:06
  Speaker 5: our souls affright of which no cause is offer'd to
• 2:53:09
  Speaker 5: the sight. For not one star was kindled in the sky,
• 2:53:14
  Speaker 5: nor could the moon her borrowed light supply, for misty
• 2:53:18
  Speaker 5: clouds involved the firmament. The stars were muffled, and the
• 2:53:23
  Speaker 5: moon was spent. Scarce had the rising sun the day revealed,
• 2:53:29
  Speaker 5: Scarce had his heat, the pearly juice dispell'd. When from
• 2:53:34
  Speaker 5: the woods their bolts before our sight. Somewhat betwixt the mortal,
• 2:53:39
  Speaker 5: and as bright, so thin, so ghastly, meager, and so
• 2:53:44
  Speaker 5: wan so bare of flesh, he Scarce resembled man, this
• 2:53:49
  Speaker 5: thing all tattered, seem'd from far to implore our pious ate,
• 2:53:55
  Speaker 5: and pointed to the shore. We looked behind, then his
• 2:54:00
  Speaker 5: shaggy beard. His clothes were tagged with thorns and filth,
• 2:54:05
  Speaker 5: his limbs besmeared. The rest is mean in habit and
• 2:54:09
  Speaker 5: in face appeared Greek, and such indeed he was. He
• 2:54:16
  Speaker 5: cast on us from far a frightful view, whom soon
• 2:54:20
  Speaker 5: for Troyance and for foes he knew, stood still and paused,
• 2:54:25
  Speaker 5: Then all at once began to stretch his limbs and
• 2:54:29
  Speaker 5: trembled as he ran. Soon as approached upon his knees,
• 2:54:33
  Speaker 5: he falls. And thus with tears and sighs for pity
• 2:54:37
  Speaker 5: calls now by the powers above and what we share
• 2:54:43
  Speaker 5: from Nature's common gift, this vital air O Troyans take me.
• 2:54:49
  Speaker 5: Hence I beg no more, but bear me far from
• 2:54:53
  Speaker 5: this unhappy shore. Tis true, I am a Greek, and
• 2:54:59
  Speaker 5: farther own among your foes, besieg'd imperial town for such demerits.
• 2:55:06
  Speaker 5: If my death be due no more for this abandon'd
• 2:55:10
  Speaker 5: life issue, this only favor. Let my tears obtain to
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 5: throw me headlong in the rapid main, since nothing more
• 2:55:21
  Speaker 5: than death my crime demands. I die. Content to die
• 2:55:26
  Speaker 5: by human hands, he said, And on his knees, my
• 2:55:31
  Speaker 5: knees embraced, I bade him boldly tell his fortune, past
• 2:55:37
  Speaker 5: his present state, his lineage, and his name, the occasion
• 2:55:43
  Speaker 5: of his fears, And whence he came the good and
• 2:55:47
  Speaker 5: Chisus raised him with his hand, who thus encouraged answer'd
• 2:55:52
  Speaker 5: our demand from Ithaca, my native soil. I came to Troy,
• 2:55:59
  Speaker 5: and achamenie is my name, me my poor father with
• 2:56:04
  Speaker 5: Ulysses sent o had I stay'd with poverty, content, but
• 2:56:10
  Speaker 5: fearful for themselves, my countrymen left me forsaken in the kirklobsten.
• 2:56:17
  Speaker 5: The cave, though large, was dark, the dismal floor was
• 2:56:21
  Speaker 5: pald with manged limbs and putrid gore. Our monstrous host
• 2:56:27
  Speaker 5: of more than human size, erects his head and stares
• 2:56:31
  Speaker 5: within the skies, bellowing his voice, and horrid is his
• 2:56:36
  Speaker 5: ee Ye, Gods, remove this plague from mortal view. The
• 2:56:41
  Speaker 5: joints of slaughtered wretches are is fought, and for his
• 2:56:46
  Speaker 5: wine he crosss the streaming blood. These eyes beheld when
• 2:56:51
  Speaker 5: with his spacious hand he seized to captives of our
• 2:56:55
  Speaker 5: Grecian band. Stretched on his back, he dash'd against the stones,
• 2:57:01
  Speaker 5: their broken bodies and their crackling bones. With spouting blood.
• 2:57:06
  Speaker 5: The purple pavement swims, while the dire glutton grins. The
• 2:57:11
  Speaker 5: trembling limbs. Not unrevenged Ulysses bore their fate, nor thoughtless
• 2:57:18
  Speaker 5: of his own unhappy state, for gorge with flesh and
• 2:57:23
  Speaker 5: drunk with Huean wine, while fast asleep the giant laser pine,
• 2:57:29
  Speaker 5: snoring aloud and belching from his wall, his indigested foam
• 2:57:34
  Speaker 5: and MOR's straw. We pray, We cast the lots, and
• 2:57:38
  Speaker 5: then surround the monstrous body, stretched along the ground. Each
• 2:57:43
  Speaker 5: as he could approach him, lends a hand to Boori's
• 2:57:47
  Speaker 5: eyeball with a flaming brand. Beneath his frowning forehead lay
• 2:57:53
  Speaker 5: his eye. For only one did the vast frame supply,
• 2:57:57
  Speaker 5: but that a globe so large his front it fill'd
• 2:58:02
  Speaker 5: like the sun's disk, or like a Grecian shield. The
• 2:58:06
  Speaker 5: stroke succeeds, and down the pupil bends. This vengeance follow'd
• 2:58:12
  Speaker 5: for our slaughter'd friends. But haste, unhappy wretches, haste to
• 2:58:18
  Speaker 5: fly your cable's cut and on your oars. Rely such
• 2:58:23
  Speaker 5: and so vast as polypheme appears a hundred more, This
• 2:58:28
  Speaker 5: hated island bears like him. In caves, they shut their
• 2:58:32
  Speaker 5: woolish sheep like him. Their herds on tops of mountain
• 2:58:37
  Speaker 5: skeep like him. With mighty strides, they stalk from steep
• 2:58:41
  Speaker 5: to steep, And now three moons, their sharpened horns renew.
• 2:58:47
  Speaker 5: Since thus in woods and wilds obscure from you, I
• 2:58:51
  Speaker 5: drag my loath some days with mortal fright, and in
• 2:58:56
  Speaker 5: deserted caverns lodge by night, off from the rocks, a
• 2:59:01
  Speaker 5: dreadful prospect sea of the huge kilops, like a walking tree.
• 2:59:07
  Speaker 5: From far, I hear his thundering voice resound, and trampling
• 2:59:12
  Speaker 5: feet that shake the solid ground corners and salvage berries
• 2:59:17
  Speaker 5: of the wood, and roots and herbs have been my
• 2:59:21
  Speaker 5: meager foot. While all around my longing eyes I cast
• 2:59:26
  Speaker 5: I saw your happy ships appear at last on those
• 2:59:30
  Speaker 5: I fix'd my hopes to these. I run tis all
• 2:59:34
  Speaker 5: I ask, tis cruel race to shun. What other death
• 2:59:39
  Speaker 5: you please yourselves bestow? Scarce had he said, when on
• 2:59:44
  Speaker 5: the mountain's brow we saw the giant shepherds stalk before
• 2:59:49
  Speaker 5: his following flock, and leading to the shore, a monstrous
• 2:59:54
  Speaker 5: bulk deformed the pridocite, his staff a trunk of pine
• 2:59:59
  Speaker 5: to guide his step aright. His ponderous whistle from his
• 3:00:03
  Speaker 5: neck descends his woolly care. Their pensive lord attends this
• 3:00:08
  Speaker 5: only slas his hard fortune sends. Soon as he reached
• 3:00:14
  Speaker 5: the shore, and touched the waves from his bored eye.
• 3:00:18
  Speaker 5: The gutring blood he laves. He gnashed his teeth and
• 3:00:22
  Speaker 5: groaned through sees his strides and scarce the topmost billows
• 3:00:27
  Speaker 5: touch'd his sides, ceased with a sudden fear. We run
• 3:00:32
  Speaker 5: to sea. The cables cut and silent, haste away the
• 3:00:37
  Speaker 5: well deserving stranger entertain then buckling to the work, our
• 3:00:42
  Speaker 5: oars divide the main the giant hearkened to the dashing sound,
• 3:00:47
  Speaker 5: But when our vessels out of reach he found he
• 3:00:51
  Speaker 5: strided onward and in vain essayed the Jonian deep and
• 3:00:56
  Speaker 5: durst of farther weight. With that, he roared aloud. The
• 3:01:00
  Speaker 5: dreadful cray shakes earth and air, and sees the billows
• 3:01:05
  Speaker 5: flee before the bellowing noise to distant Italy. The neighering
• 3:01:12
  Speaker 5: Ethna trembling all around. The winding caverns echo to the
• 3:01:17
  Speaker 5: sound his brother kicklops. Hear the yelling roar, and rushing
• 3:01:23
  Speaker 5: down the mountains crowd the shore. We saw their stern
• 3:01:28
  Speaker 5: distorted looks from far, and one eyed glance that vainly
• 3:01:34
  Speaker 5: threatened war. A dreadful council with their heads on high.
• 3:01:40
  Speaker 5: The misty clouds about their foreheads fly not yeelding to
• 3:01:45
  Speaker 5: the towering tree of job Our, tallest suppress of Diana's grove.
• 3:01:52
  Speaker 5: New pangs of mortal fear, our minds assail. We target
• 3:01:57
  Speaker 5: every oar and hoist up every sail, and take the
• 3:02:01
  Speaker 5: advantage of the friendly gale. For one by Helenus, we
• 3:02:06
  Speaker 5: strive to shun caarib disculf, nor dare to skill a run.
• 3:02:12
  Speaker 5: An equal fate on either side appears. We tagging to
• 3:02:17
  Speaker 5: the left, are free from fierce For from pelorous point
• 3:02:22
  Speaker 5: the north arose and drew us back where swift Pantagus
• 3:02:27
  Speaker 5: flows his rocky mouth. We pass and make our way
• 3:02:32
  Speaker 5: by Tapsus and Megara's winding bay. This passage Agamenides had shown,
• 3:02:39
  Speaker 5: tracing the course which he before had run right over
• 3:02:45
  Speaker 5: against Plemerium's watri strand there lies in isle once called
• 3:02:50
  Speaker 5: the Artigian land. Alpheus, as old famed reports, has found
• 3:02:55
  Speaker 5: from Greece a secret passage underground by love to butteous
• 3:03:01
  Speaker 5: Aratusalad and mingling hair. They rolled in the same sacred
• 3:03:07
  Speaker 5: bed as selenus enjoined. We next the door. Diana's name
• 3:03:13
  Speaker 5: protectis of the shore with prosperous scales. We passed the
• 3:03:18
  Speaker 5: quiet sounds of still Elorus and his fruitful bounds. Then
• 3:03:24
  Speaker 5: doubling Cape Paquinus, we survey the rocky shore extended to
• 3:03:30
  Speaker 5: the sea the town of Camarine. From far we see
• 3:03:35
  Speaker 5: a fenny lake, undrained by fate's decree. In sight of
• 3:03:40
  Speaker 5: the Geloan fields we pass, and the large walls where
• 3:03:44
  Speaker 5: mighty Glaus then Agragas, with lofty summits crowned. Long for
• 3:03:50
  Speaker 5: the race of war like steeds renowned, we passed Silenus
• 3:03:55
  Speaker 5: and the palmy land, and widely shun the lilybian strand
• 3:04:00
  Speaker 5: and unsave for secret rocks and moving sand. At length
• 3:04:05
  Speaker 5: on shore, the weary fleet arriv'd, which Drypanum's unhappy port
• 3:04:12
  Speaker 5: receiv'd hereafter endless labors, often toss'd by raging storms, and
• 3:04:20
  Speaker 5: driv'n on every coast my dear dear father spent with age.
• 3:04:27
  Speaker 5: I lost ease of my cares and solace of my pain.
• 3:04:33
  Speaker 5: Sav'd through a thousand toils, but sav'd in vain the
• 3:04:39
  Speaker 5: prophet whom my future vows reveal'd. Yet this the greatest
• 3:04:44
  Speaker 5: and the worst conceal'd and dire Seleno, whose foreboding skill
• 3:04:51
  Speaker 5: denounc'd all else was silent of the ill. This, my
• 3:04:56
  Speaker 5: last labor, was some friendly god. From thence conveyed us
• 3:05:01
  Speaker 5: to our blest Abod, Thus to the listening Queen, the
• 3:05:06
  Speaker 5: royal guest, his wandering scorse, and all his toils expressed.
• 3:05:12
  Speaker 5: And here concluding he retired to rest. End of book
• 3:05:20
  Speaker 5: three of the any Eat.
• 3:05:22
  Speaker 6: Book four, The Passion of the Queen Part one, But
• 3:05:31
  Speaker 6: anxious cares already seized the Queen. She fed within her
• 3:05:35
  Speaker 6: veins a flame unseen. The hero's valor, acts and birth
• 3:05:41
  Speaker 6: inspire her soul with love and fan the secret fire.
• 3:05:45
  Speaker 6: His words, his looks imprinted in her heart, improve the
• 3:05:49
  Speaker 6: passion and increase the smart. Now, when the purple morn
• 3:05:55
  Speaker 6: had chased away the dewy shadows and restored the day,
• 3:05:58
  Speaker 6: her sister first with early care, she sought, and thus,
• 3:06:02
  Speaker 6: in mournful accents eased her thought. My dearest Anna, what
• 3:06:09
  Speaker 6: new dreams affright my laboring soul? What visions of the
• 3:06:13
  Speaker 6: night disturbed my quiet and distract my breast? With strange
• 3:06:17
  Speaker 6: ideas of our trojan guest, his worth, his actions and
• 3:06:22
  Speaker 6: majestic air. A man descended from the gods, declare fear
• 3:06:27
  Speaker 6: ever argues a degenerate kind, his birth is well asserted
• 3:06:32
  Speaker 6: by his mind. Then what he suffered when by fate betrayed,
• 3:06:38
  Speaker 6: What brave attempts for falling Troy he made, Such were
• 3:06:42
  Speaker 6: his looks, so gracefully he spoke, that, were I not
• 3:06:46
  Speaker 6: resolved against the yoke of hapless marriage, never to be
• 3:06:50
  Speaker 6: cursed with second love, so fatal was my first to
• 3:06:54
  Speaker 6: this one error, I might yield again, For since Siricaus
• 3:06:59
  Speaker 6: was untimely slain, this only man is able to subvert
• 3:07:04
  Speaker 6: the fixed foundations of my stubborn heart, and to confess
• 3:07:08
  Speaker 6: my frailty to my shame. Somewhat I find within, if
• 3:07:14
  Speaker 6: not the same too, like the sparkles of my former flame.
• 3:07:19
  Speaker 6: But first, let yawning earth a passage rend and let
• 3:07:23
  Speaker 6: me through the dark Abyss descend. First, let avenging jove
• 3:07:27
  Speaker 6: with flames from high drive down this body to the
• 3:07:30
  Speaker 6: nether sky, condemned with ghosts in endless night, to lie
• 3:07:35
  Speaker 6: before I break the plighted faith I gave no he
• 3:07:40
  Speaker 6: who had my vows shall ever have. For whom I
• 3:07:44
  Speaker 6: loved on earth, I worship in the grave. She said.
• 3:07:49
  Speaker 6: The tears ran gushing from her eyes and stopped her speech.
• 3:07:54
  Speaker 6: Her sister thus replies, Oh, dearer than the vital air
• 3:07:58
  Speaker 6: I breathe, will you to grief your blooming years, bequeath
• 3:08:04
  Speaker 6: condemned to waste in woes, your lonely life, without the
• 3:08:08
  Speaker 6: joys of mother or of wife. Think you these tears,
• 3:08:12
  Speaker 6: this pompous train of woe, are known or valued by
• 3:08:15
  Speaker 6: the ghosts below. I grant that while your sorrows yet
• 3:08:20
  Speaker 6: were green, it well became a woman and a queen.
• 3:08:24
  Speaker 6: The vowels of Tyrian princes to neglect, to scorn the
• 3:08:28
  Speaker 6: arbors and his love reject with all the Libyan lords
• 3:08:32
  Speaker 6: of mighty name. But will you fight against a pleasing flame?
• 3:08:38
  Speaker 6: This little spot of land, which Heaven bestows on every
• 3:08:41
  Speaker 6: side is hemmed with warlike foes. Their Tulian cities here
• 3:08:46
  Speaker 6: are spread around, and fierce Numidians. There your frontiers bound.
• 3:08:51
  Speaker 6: Here lies a barren waste of thirsty land. And there
• 3:08:54
  Speaker 6: the Surties raise the moving sand. Barquetan troops besiege the
• 3:08:59
  Speaker 6: narrow shore, and from the sea Pygmalion threatens more propitious.
• 3:09:04
  Speaker 6: Heaven and gracious you know, lead this wandering navy to
• 3:09:08
  Speaker 6: your needful aid. How will your empire, spread your city.
• 3:09:13
  Speaker 6: Rise from such a union, and with such allies, implore
• 3:09:20
  Speaker 6: the favor of the powers above, and leave the conduct
• 3:09:23
  Speaker 6: of the rest to love. Continue still your hospitable way,
• 3:09:28
  Speaker 6: and still invent occasions of their stay till storms and
• 3:09:32
  Speaker 6: winter wind shall cease to threat, and planks and oars
• 3:09:35
  Speaker 6: repair their shattered fleet. These words, which from a friend
• 3:09:40
  Speaker 6: and sister, came with ease, resolved the scruples of her fame,
• 3:09:45
  Speaker 6: and added fury to the kindled flame. Inspired with hope,
• 3:09:50
  Speaker 6: the project they pursue on every altar sacrifice renew a
• 3:09:55
  Speaker 6: chosen you of two years old. They pay to Ceres,
• 3:09:58
  Speaker 6: Bacchus and the God of Day, preferring Juno's power. For
• 3:10:03
  Speaker 6: Juno ties the nuptial knot and makes the marriage joys.
• 3:10:07
  Speaker 6: The beauteous queen before her altar stands and holds the
• 3:10:11
  Speaker 6: golden goblet in her hands. A milk white heifer. She
• 3:10:15
  Speaker 6: with flowers adorns and pours the ruddy wine betwixt her horns,
• 3:10:19
  Speaker 6: And while the priests with prayer the gods invoke, she
• 3:10:23
  Speaker 6: feeds their altars with surbeyan smoke. With hourly care, the
• 3:10:27
  Speaker 6: sacrifice renews and anxiously the panting entrails views. What priestly
• 3:10:34
  Speaker 6: rides alas what pious art, what vows avail to cure
• 3:10:38
  Speaker 6: a bleeding heart, a gentle fire she feeds within her veins,
• 3:10:44
  Speaker 6: where the soft god, secure in silence, reigns. Sick with
• 3:10:50
  Speaker 6: desire and seeking him, she loves from streaked to street,
• 3:10:54
  Speaker 6: the raving dido roves, so when the watchful shepherd from
• 3:10:58
  Speaker 6: the blind wounds with the random shaft, the careless hind.
• 3:11:02
  Speaker 6: Distracted with her pain, she flies the woods, bounds o'er
• 3:11:06
  Speaker 6: the lawn, and seeks the silent floods with fruitless care.
• 3:11:10
  Speaker 6: For still the fatal dart sticks in her side and
• 3:11:13
  Speaker 6: rankles in her heart. And now she leads the trojan
• 3:11:18
  Speaker 6: chief along the lofty walls amidst the busy throng, displays
• 3:11:22
  Speaker 6: her tyrian wealth and rising town, which love, without his labor,
• 3:11:27
  Speaker 6: makes his own. This pomp she shows to tempt her
• 3:11:31
  Speaker 6: wandering guest, her faltering tongue forbids to speak the rest
• 3:11:37
  Speaker 6: when day declines, and feasts renew the night. Still on
• 3:11:41
  Speaker 6: his face, she feeds her famished sight. She longs again
• 3:11:46
  Speaker 6: to hear the prince relate his own adventures and the
• 3:11:49
  Speaker 6: Trojan fate. He tells it, oh and oh, but still
• 3:11:53
  Speaker 6: in vain, For still she begs to hear it once again,
• 3:11:57
  Speaker 6: the hearer on the speaker's mouth depends, and thus the
• 3:12:01
  Speaker 6: tragic story never ends. Then, when they part, when Phoebe's
• 3:12:07
  Speaker 6: paler light withdraws, and falling stars to sleep invite, she
• 3:12:12
  Speaker 6: last remains, when every guest is gone, sits on the
• 3:12:16
  Speaker 6: bed he pressed, and sighs alone, absent, her absent hero
• 3:12:22
  Speaker 6: sees and hears or in her bosom, young Ascanius bears
• 3:12:27
  Speaker 6: and seeks the father's image in the child, if love
• 3:12:30
  Speaker 6: by likeness might be so beguiled. Meantime, the rising towers
• 3:12:35
  Speaker 6: are at a stand. No labors exercise the youthful band,
• 3:12:40
  Speaker 6: nor use of arts, nor toils of arms. They know
• 3:12:43
  Speaker 6: the mole is left unfinished to the foe. The mounds,
• 3:12:47
  Speaker 6: the works, the walls neglected, lie short of their promised
• 3:12:50
  Speaker 6: height that seemed to threat the sky. But when Imperial
• 3:12:55
  Speaker 6: Juno from above soar Dido, fettered in the chains of love,
• 3:13:00
  Speaker 6: with the venom which her veins inflamed, and by no
• 3:13:03
  Speaker 6: sense of shame to be reclaimed with soothing words to Venus,
• 3:13:07
  Speaker 6: she begun high praises, endless honors you have won, and
• 3:13:13
  Speaker 6: mighty trophies with your worthy son. Two gods a silly
• 3:13:18
  Speaker 6: woman have undone, Nor am I ignorant? You both suspect
• 3:13:23
  Speaker 6: this rising city which my hands erect. But shall celestial
• 3:13:28
  Speaker 6: discord never cease? Tis better ended in a lasting peace.
• 3:13:34
  Speaker 6: You stand possessed of all your soul desired. Poor Dido,
• 3:13:38
  Speaker 6: with consuming love is fired Your Trojan with my Tyrian
• 3:13:43
  Speaker 6: let us join, So Dido shall be yours, Eneus mine
• 3:13:48
  Speaker 6: one common kingdom, one united line. Eliza shall a Dardan
• 3:13:53
  Speaker 6: lord obey and lofty Carthage for a dour convey. Then Venus,
• 3:14:00
  Speaker 6: who her hidden fraud descried, which would the scepter of
• 3:14:03
  Speaker 6: the world misguide? To Libyan Shaws, thus artfully replied, who
• 3:14:09
  Speaker 6: but a fool would wars with Juno choose? And such
• 3:14:13
  Speaker 6: alliance and such gifts refuse? If fortune, with our joint
• 3:14:17
  Speaker 6: desires comply. The doubt is all from Jove and Destiny.
• 3:14:23
  Speaker 6: Lest he forbid with absolute command to mix the people
• 3:14:26
  Speaker 6: in one common land, Or will the Trojan and the
• 3:14:30
  Speaker 6: Tyrian line, in lasting leagues ensure succession join? But you,
• 3:14:35
  Speaker 6: the partner of his bed and throne, may move his mind.
• 3:14:39
  Speaker 6: My wishes are your own mine, said Imperial Juno. Be
• 3:14:45
  Speaker 6: the care time urges now to perfect this affair. Attend
• 3:14:50
  Speaker 6: my counsel and a secret share. When next the sun
• 3:14:54
  Speaker 6: his rising light displays and gilds the world below with
• 3:14:57
  Speaker 6: purple rays, the Queen Aeneas and the Tyrian court shall
• 3:15:01
  Speaker 6: to the shady woods for sylvan game resort There, while
• 3:15:05
  Speaker 6: the huntsmen pitch their toils around, and cheerful horns from
• 3:15:09
  Speaker 6: side to side resound. A pitchy cloud shall cover all
• 3:15:13
  Speaker 6: the plain with hail and thunder and tempestuous rain. The
• 3:15:17
  Speaker 6: fearful train shall take their speedy flight disperse, and all
• 3:15:22
  Speaker 6: involved in gloomy night one cave, a grateful shelter shall
• 3:15:27
  Speaker 6: afford to the fair princess and the Trojan Lord. I
• 3:15:32
  Speaker 6: will myself the bridal bed prepare. If you to bless
• 3:15:35
  Speaker 6: the nuptials will be there. So shall their loves be
• 3:15:39
  Speaker 6: crowned with due delights, and hymen shall be present at
• 3:15:43
  Speaker 6: the rights. The Queen of Love consents and closely smiles
• 3:15:49
  Speaker 6: that her vain project and discovered, whiles the rosy morn
• 3:15:56
  Speaker 6: was risen from the main, and horns and hounds awake
• 3:15:59
  Speaker 6: the princely. They issue early through the city gate with
• 3:16:03
  Speaker 6: a more wakeful huntsmen ready weight with nets and toils
• 3:16:07
  Speaker 6: and darts. Beside the force of Spartan dogs and swift
• 3:16:10
  Speaker 6: Maicilian horse, the Tyrian peers and offices of state for
• 3:16:15
  Speaker 6: the slow queen in ante chamber's weight. Her lofty courser
• 3:16:19
  Speaker 6: in the court, below, whom his majestic rider seems to know,
• 3:16:23
  Speaker 6: proud of his purple trappings, paws the ground and champs
• 3:16:27
  Speaker 6: the golden bit and spreads the foam around the queen.
• 3:16:31
  Speaker 6: At length appears on either hand. The brawny guards in
• 3:16:35
  Speaker 6: martial order stand a flowered simmar with golden fringe she wore,
• 3:16:40
  Speaker 6: and at her back a golden quiver bore her flowing hair.
• 3:16:44
  Speaker 6: A golden call restrains a golden clasp the Tyrian robe sustains.
• 3:16:51
  Speaker 6: Then young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, leads on the
• 3:16:55
  Speaker 6: Trojan youth to view the chase. But far above the
• 3:16:58
  Speaker 6: rest in beauty shines the great Aeneas the troop he
• 3:17:03
  Speaker 6: joins like fair Apollo when he leaves the frost of
• 3:17:07
  Speaker 6: Wintrysanthus and the Lycian coast, when to his native de loss.
• 3:17:11
  Speaker 6: He results, ordains the dances and renews the sports, where
• 3:17:15
  Speaker 6: painted Scythians mixed with Cretan bands, before the joyful altars
• 3:17:19
  Speaker 6: join their hands. Himself on synthus walking sees below the
• 3:17:24
  Speaker 6: merry madness of the sacred show, green wreaths of bays,
• 3:17:28
  Speaker 6: his length of hair in clothes, a golden filet binds
• 3:17:32
  Speaker 6: his awful brows. His quiver sounds not less. The Prince
• 3:17:37
  Speaker 6: is seen in manly presence or in lofty mean. Now
• 3:17:43
  Speaker 6: had they reached the hills and stormed the seat of
• 3:17:45
  Speaker 6: savage beasts in dens their last retreat, the cry pursues
• 3:17:50
  Speaker 6: the mountain goats. They bound from rock to rock and
• 3:17:53
  Speaker 6: keep the craggy ground quite Otherwise, the stags, a trembling
• 3:17:58
  Speaker 6: train in herd's unsingled skin, the dusty plain, and a
• 3:18:02
  Speaker 6: long chase in open view maintain the glad Ascanius. As
• 3:18:07
  Speaker 6: his courser guide spurs through the veil, and these and
• 3:18:11
  Speaker 6: those outrides his horses, flanks and sides are forced to
• 3:18:15
  Speaker 6: feel the clanking, lash and goring of the steel. Impatiently,
• 3:18:19
  Speaker 6: he views the feeble prey, wishing some nobler beast to
• 3:18:22
  Speaker 6: cross his way, and rather with the tusky boar attend
• 3:18:25
  Speaker 6: or see the tawny lion downward bend. Meantime, the gathering
• 3:18:31
  Speaker 6: clouds obscure the skies from pole to pole. The forky
• 3:18:35
  Speaker 6: lightning flies, the rattling thunders roll, and Juno pours a
• 3:18:40
  Speaker 6: wintry deluge down and sounding showers. The company dispersed to
• 3:18:45
  Speaker 6: covert's ride and seek the homely cots or mountain's hollow side.
• 3:18:50
  Speaker 6: The rapid reins descending from the hills to rolling torrents,
• 3:18:55
  Speaker 6: raise the creeping rills. The Queen and Prince, as love
• 3:18:59
  Speaker 6: or fortune guides one common cavern in her bosom hides.
• 3:19:05
  Speaker 6: Then first the trembling earth, the signal gave, and flushing
• 3:19:08
  Speaker 6: fires enlighten all the cave hell from below and Juno
• 3:19:13
  Speaker 6: from above, and howling nymphs were conscious of their love.
• 3:19:19
  Speaker 6: From this ill omened hour in time arose debate and
• 3:19:23
  Speaker 6: death and all succeeding woes. The queen, whom sense of
• 3:19:29
  Speaker 6: honor could not move, no longer, made a secret of
• 3:19:32
  Speaker 6: her love, but called it marriage by that specious name,
• 3:19:37
  Speaker 6: to veil the crime and sanctify the shame. The loud
• 3:19:42
  Speaker 6: report through Libyan cities goes fame the great ill. From
• 3:19:47
  Speaker 6: small beginnings grows Swift from the first, and every moment
• 3:19:52
  Speaker 6: brings new vigor to her flights, new pinions to her wings.
• 3:19:56
  Speaker 6: Soon grows the pigmy to gigantic size. Her fears on Earth,
• 3:20:01
  Speaker 6: her forehead in the skies, enraged against the gods, revengeful
• 3:20:06
  Speaker 6: Earth produced her last of the Titanian birth. Swift is
• 3:20:11
  Speaker 6: her walk, more swift, her winged haste, a monstrous phantom,
• 3:20:15
  Speaker 6: horrible and vast. As many plumes as raise her lofty flight,
• 3:20:21
  Speaker 6: So many piercing eyes enlarge her sight. Millions of opening
• 3:20:26
  Speaker 6: mouths to fame belong, and every mouth is furnished with
• 3:20:29
  Speaker 6: a tongue, and round with listening ears. The flying plague
• 3:20:34
  Speaker 6: is hung. She fills the peaceful universe with cries. No
• 3:20:39
  Speaker 6: slumbers ever close her wakeful eyes. By day, from lofty
• 3:20:44
  Speaker 6: towers her head, she shows and spreads through trembling crowd's
• 3:20:47
  Speaker 6: disastrous news with court informers, haunts and royal spies. Things
• 3:20:53
  Speaker 6: done relates not done. She feigns and mingles truth with lies.
• 3:21:00
  Speaker 6: Hawk is her business and her chief delight to tell
• 3:21:03
  Speaker 6: of prodigies and cause affright. She fills the people's ears
• 3:21:07
  Speaker 6: with Dido's name, who lost to honor and the sense
• 3:21:10
  Speaker 6: of shame, admits into her throne and nuptial bed, a
• 3:21:13
  Speaker 6: wandering guest who from his country fled whole days with him.
• 3:21:17
  Speaker 6: She passes into lights and wastes in luxury long winter nights.
• 3:21:22
  Speaker 6: Forgetful of her fame and royal trust. Dissolved in ease,
• 3:21:27
  Speaker 6: abandoned to her lust, the goddess widely spreads the loud
• 3:21:33
  Speaker 6: report and flies at length to King Yarbus court. When
• 3:21:38
  Speaker 6: first possessed with this unwelcome news, whom did he not
• 3:21:41
  Speaker 6: of men and gods accuse? This prince from ravished garymantis,
• 3:21:47
  Speaker 6: born a hundred temples, did with spoils adorn in Ammon's honor,
• 3:21:52
  Speaker 6: his celestial sire a hundred altars, fed with wakeful fire,
• 3:21:57
  Speaker 6: and through his vast dominions priests ord whose watchful care
• 3:22:01
  Speaker 6: these holy rites maintained. The gates and columns were with
• 3:22:05
  Speaker 6: garlands crowned, and blood of victim beasts enriched the ground. He,
• 3:22:12
  Speaker 6: when he heard a fugitive could move the Tyrian princess
• 3:22:15
  Speaker 6: who disdained his love, his breast with fury, burned his
• 3:22:20
  Speaker 6: eyes with fire, mad with despair, impatient, with desire. Then
• 3:22:26
  Speaker 6: on the sacred altars, pouring wine. He thus, with prayers
• 3:22:28
  Speaker 6: implored his sire, Divine, Great Jove, propitious to the Moorish race,
• 3:22:34
  Speaker 6: who feast on painted beds with offerings, grace thy temples,
• 3:22:38
  Speaker 6: and adore thy power Divine, with blood of victims and
• 3:22:41
  Speaker 6: with sparkling wine. Seest thou not this, or do we
• 3:22:46
  Speaker 6: fear in vain thy boasted thunder and thy thoughtless rain.
• 3:22:51
  Speaker 6: Do thy broad hand the forky lightning's lance. Thine are
• 3:22:56
  Speaker 6: the bolts or the blind work of chance? O t
• 3:23:00
  Speaker 6: raying woman builds within our state, a little town bought
• 3:23:03
  Speaker 6: at an easy rate. She pays me homage, and my
• 3:23:07
  Speaker 6: grants allow a narrow space of Libyan lands to plow.
• 3:23:11
  Speaker 6: Yet scorning me by passion, blindly led admits a banished
• 3:23:18
  Speaker 6: trojan to her bed. And now this other Paris, with
• 3:23:23
  Speaker 6: his train of conquered cowards, must in Afric ragin whom
• 3:23:28
  Speaker 6: what they are? Their looks and garbs, confess their locks
• 3:23:31
  Speaker 6: with oil perfume their Lydian dress. He takes the spoil,
• 3:23:36
  Speaker 6: enjoys the princely dame, And I rejected, I adore an
• 3:23:41
  Speaker 6: empty name. His vows in haughty terms. He thus preferred,
• 3:23:47
  Speaker 6: and held his altars horns. The mighty Thunderer heard, then
• 3:23:52
  Speaker 6: cast his eyes on Carthage, where he found the lustful
• 3:23:56
  Speaker 6: pair in lawless pleasure, drowned, lost in their love, insensible
• 3:24:00
  Speaker 6: of shame, and both forgetful of their better fame. He
• 3:24:06
  Speaker 6: calls Selenius, and the god attends, by whom his menacing
• 3:24:10
  Speaker 6: command he sends, Go mount the western winds and cleave
• 3:24:15
  Speaker 6: the sky. Then, with a swift descent to Carthage, fly
• 3:24:19
  Speaker 6: there find the Trojan chief, who wists his days in
• 3:24:22
  Speaker 6: slothful riot and inglorious ease, nor mind the future city
• 3:24:27
  Speaker 6: given by fate to him. This message from my mouth
• 3:24:30
  Speaker 6: relate not so fair Venus hoped when twice she won
• 3:24:35
  Speaker 6: thy life with prayers, nor promised such a son. Hers
• 3:24:40
  Speaker 6: was a hero destined to command a martial race and
• 3:24:44
  Speaker 6: rule the Latin land. Who should his ancient line from
• 3:24:48
  Speaker 6: Tusa draw and on the conquered world impose the law?
• 3:24:52
  Speaker 6: If glory cannot move a mind so mean, nor future
• 3:24:55
  Speaker 6: praise from fading pleasure ween, Yet, why should he defraud
• 3:24:59
  Speaker 6: his sun of fame and grudge the Romans their immortal name?
• 3:25:05
  Speaker 6: What are his vain designs what hopes he more from
• 3:25:08
  Speaker 6: his long lingering on a hostile shore, regardless, to redeem
• 3:25:12
  Speaker 6: his honor lost, and for his race to gain the
• 3:25:15
  Speaker 6: Arsonian coast, bid him with speed. The Tyrian court fors sake.
• 3:25:20
  Speaker 6: With this command, the slumbering warrior wake Hermes obeys with
• 3:25:26
  Speaker 6: golden pinions, binds his flying feet, and mounts the western winds.
• 3:25:31
  Speaker 6: And whether are the seas or earth, he flies with
• 3:25:33
  Speaker 6: rapid force. They bear him down the skies. But first
• 3:25:37
  Speaker 6: he grasps within his awful hand that mark of sovereign power,
• 3:25:41
  Speaker 6: his magic wand with this he draws the ghosts from
• 3:25:45
  Speaker 6: hollow graves. With this he drives them down the Stygian waves.
• 3:25:49
  Speaker 6: With this he seals in sleep the wakeful sight, and eyes,
• 3:25:53
  Speaker 6: though closed in death, restores to light. Thus armed, the
• 3:25:58
  Speaker 6: god begins his airy re and drives the racking clouds
• 3:26:02
  Speaker 6: along the liquid space. Now sees the tops of Atlas
• 3:26:06
  Speaker 6: as he flies, whose brawny back supports the starry skies. Atlas,
• 3:26:12
  Speaker 6: whose head, with piny forests crowned, is beaten by the winds.
• 3:26:16
  Speaker 6: With foggy vapors. Bound snows hide his shoulders from beneath
• 3:26:22
  Speaker 6: his chin. The founts of rolling streams their race begin.
• 3:26:26
  Speaker 6: A beard of ice on his large breast depends Here,
• 3:26:31
  Speaker 6: poised upon his wings, the god descends, then rested. Thus
• 3:26:35
  Speaker 6: he from the towering height plunged downward with precipitated flight,
• 3:26:40
  Speaker 6: lights on the seas, and skims along the flood as
• 3:26:44
  Speaker 6: water fowl who seek their fishy food less and yet
• 3:26:48
  Speaker 6: less to distant prospect show by turns. They dance aloft
• 3:26:53
  Speaker 6: and dive below. Like these, the steerage of his wings,
• 3:26:57
  Speaker 6: he plies, and near the surface of the waterflies till
• 3:27:02
  Speaker 6: having passed the seas and crossed the sands, he closed
• 3:27:06
  Speaker 6: his wings and stooped on Libyan lands, where shepherds once
• 3:27:11
  Speaker 6: were housed in homely sheds. Now towers within the clouds
• 3:27:14
  Speaker 6: advanced their heads. Arriving there he found the trojan prints
• 3:27:19
  Speaker 6: new ramparts raising for the town's defense. A purple scarf
• 3:27:24
  Speaker 6: with gold embroidered o'er queen Didoh's gift. About his waists,
• 3:27:28
  Speaker 6: he wore a sword with glittering gems, diversified for ornament
• 3:27:34
  Speaker 6: not use, hung idly by his side. Then, thus with
• 3:27:39
  Speaker 6: winged words, the god began resuming his own shape. Degenerate
• 3:27:45
  Speaker 6: man thou woman's property. What makest thou hear these foreign
• 3:27:50
  Speaker 6: walls and Tyrian towers to rear forgetful of thy own all?
• 3:27:55
  Speaker 6: Powerful Jove, who sways the world below and heaven above,
• 3:27:59
  Speaker 6: had sent me down with this severe command? What means
• 3:28:04
  Speaker 6: thy lingering in the Libyan land? If glory cannot move
• 3:28:09
  Speaker 6: a mind, so mean nor future praise from flitting pleasure?
• 3:28:13
  Speaker 6: Ween regard the fortunes of thy rising heir the promised ground.
• 3:28:19
  Speaker 6: Let young Ascanius wear to whom the Arsonian scepter, and
• 3:28:23
  Speaker 6: the state of Rome's imperial name is owed by fate.
• 3:28:28
  Speaker 6: So spoke the god, and speaking took his flight, involved
• 3:28:33
  Speaker 6: in clouds, and vanished out of sight. The pious prince
• 3:28:38
  Speaker 6: was seized with sudden fear. Mute was his tongue, and
• 3:28:43
  Speaker 6: upright stood his hair, revolving in his mind the stern command.
• 3:28:47
  Speaker 6: He longs to fly and loathes the charming land. What
• 3:28:52
  Speaker 6: should he say or how should he begin? What course
• 3:28:56
  Speaker 6: alas remains to steer between the offended lover and the
• 3:28:59
  Speaker 6: power powerful queen? This way and that he turns his
• 3:29:03
  Speaker 6: anxious mind, And all expedients tries, and none can find
• 3:29:09
  Speaker 6: fixed on the deed, but doubtful of the means. After
• 3:29:12
  Speaker 6: long thought to this advice, he leans three chiefs. He
• 3:29:17
  Speaker 6: calls commands them to repair the fleet and ship their
• 3:29:20
  Speaker 6: men with silent care, some plausible pretense, he bids them
• 3:29:24
  Speaker 6: find to color what in secret he designed himself. Meantime,
• 3:29:30
  Speaker 6: the softest hours would choose before the love sick lady
• 3:29:34
  Speaker 6: heard the news, and move her tender mind by slow
• 3:29:38
  Speaker 6: degrees to suffer what the sovereign power decrees. Jove will
• 3:29:43
  Speaker 6: inspire him when and what to say. They hear with
• 3:29:46
  Speaker 6: pleasure and with haste obey. But soon the queen perceives
• 3:29:52
  Speaker 6: the thin disguise what arts can blind a jealous woman's eyes.
• 3:29:58
  Speaker 6: She was the first to find the secret fraud before
• 3:30:01
  Speaker 6: the fatal news was blazed abroad. Love the first motions
• 3:30:06
  Speaker 6: of the lover hears, quick to pressage, and even in
• 3:30:09
  Speaker 6: safety fears nor impious fame, was wanting to report the
• 3:30:14
  Speaker 6: ships repaired the Trojan's thick resort and purpose to forsake
• 3:30:18
  Speaker 6: the Tyrian court. Frantic with fear, impatient of the wound,
• 3:30:24
  Speaker 6: and impotent of mind, she roves the city round less,
• 3:30:28
  Speaker 6: while the Bacchanalian dames appear when from afar their nightly god.
• 3:30:33
  Speaker 6: They hear and howl about the hills, and shake the
• 3:30:36
  Speaker 6: wreathy spear. At length, she finds the dear perfidious man
• 3:30:42
  Speaker 6: prevents his formed excuse, and thus began base and ungrateful.
• 3:30:48
  Speaker 6: Could you hope to fly and undiscovered scape a lover's eye?
• 3:30:53
  Speaker 6: Nor could my kindness, your compassion move, nor plighted vows,
• 3:30:58
  Speaker 6: nor dearer bands of love? Or is the death of
• 3:31:02
  Speaker 6: a despairing queen not worth preventing? Though too well for seen?
• 3:31:08
  Speaker 6: Even when the wintry winds command your stay, you dare
• 3:31:11
  Speaker 6: the tempests and defy the sea. False as you are.
• 3:31:15
  Speaker 6: Suppose you were not bound to lands unknown and foreign
• 3:31:19
  Speaker 6: coasts to sound? Were Troy restored and Priam's happy rain
• 3:31:24
  Speaker 6: now durst you tempt for Troy the raging main see
• 3:31:29
  Speaker 6: whom you fly? Am I the foe you shun now
• 3:31:34
  Speaker 6: by those holy vows so late begun by this right hand,
• 3:31:38
  Speaker 6: Since I have nothing more to challenge but the faith
• 3:31:41
  Speaker 6: you gave before I beg you by these tears too
• 3:31:46
  Speaker 6: truly shed by the new pleasures of our nuptial bed.
• 3:31:51
  Speaker 6: If ever, didoh when you most were kind, was pleasing
• 3:31:56
  Speaker 6: in your eyes? Or touched your mind by these my prayers.
• 3:32:01
  Speaker 6: If prayers may yet have place, pity the fortunes of
• 3:32:06
  Speaker 6: a falling race. For you I have provoked a tyrant's hate,
• 3:32:11
  Speaker 6: incensed the Libyan and the Tyrian state. For you alone,
• 3:32:16
  Speaker 6: I suffer in my fame, bereft of honor, and exposed
• 3:32:20
  Speaker 6: to shame. Whom have I now to trust, ungrateful guest,
• 3:32:26
  Speaker 6: that only name remains of all the rest? What have
• 3:32:31
  Speaker 6: I left? Or whither can I fly? Must I attend
• 3:32:36
  Speaker 6: Bigmalian's cruelty? Or till he abor shall in triumph lead
• 3:32:40
  Speaker 6: a queen that proudly scorned his proffered bed. Had you
• 3:32:45
  Speaker 6: deferred at least your hasty flight, and left behind some
• 3:32:49
  Speaker 6: pledge of our delight, some babe to bless the mother's
• 3:32:54
  Speaker 6: mournful sight, some young aeneas to supply your place, whose
• 3:32:58
  Speaker 6: features might express his father's face. I should not then
• 3:33:03
  Speaker 6: complain to live bereft of all my husband, or be
• 3:33:07
  Speaker 6: wholly left. End of Book four, Part one, Book four,
• 3:33:15
  Speaker 6: The Passion of the Queen. Part two Here paused, the
• 3:33:21
  Speaker 6: Queen unmoved. He holds his eyes by Jove's command, nor
• 3:33:26
  Speaker 6: suffered love to rise, though heaving in his heart, and
• 3:33:30
  Speaker 6: thus at length replies, fair queen, you never can enough
• 3:33:35
  Speaker 6: repeat your boundless favors, or I own my debt, nor
• 3:33:39
  Speaker 6: can my mind forget Eliza's name, while vital breath inspires
• 3:33:43
  Speaker 6: this mortal frame. This only let me speak in my defense.
• 3:33:48
  Speaker 6: I never hoped a secret flight from hence, much less
• 3:33:51
  Speaker 6: pretended to the lawful claim of sacred nuptials or a
• 3:33:55
  Speaker 6: husband's name. For if indulgent Heaven would leave me free
• 3:33:59
  Speaker 6: and not submit my life to Fate's decree, my choice
• 3:34:03
  Speaker 6: would lead me to the Trojan shore, those relics to
• 3:34:06
  Speaker 6: review their dust adore and Priam's ruined pallace to restore.
• 3:34:13
  Speaker 6: But now the Delphian oracle commands, and Fate invites me
• 3:34:16
  Speaker 6: to the Latian lands. That is the promised place to
• 3:34:20
  Speaker 6: which I steer, and all my vows are terminated there.
• 3:34:24
  Speaker 6: If you a Tyrian and a stranger, born with walls
• 3:34:27
  Speaker 6: and towers, a Libyan town adorn, why may not we
• 3:34:32
  Speaker 6: like you, a foreign race like you seek shelter in
• 3:34:36
  Speaker 6: a foreign place. As often as the night obscures the
• 3:34:40
  Speaker 6: skies with humid shades or twinkling stars arise, Anchaic's angry
• 3:34:45
  Speaker 6: ghost in dreams appears, chides my delay and fills my
• 3:34:49
  Speaker 6: soul with fears, and young Ascanius justly may complain, defraud
• 3:34:54
  Speaker 6: it of his fate and destined reign. Even now, the
• 3:34:58
  Speaker 6: herald of the gods appeared. Waking I saw him, and
• 3:35:01
  Speaker 6: his message heard from Jove. He came commissioned, heavenly bright
• 3:35:06
  Speaker 6: with radiant beams, and manifest to sight the sender and
• 3:35:09
  Speaker 6: the scent. I both attest these walls. He entered, and
• 3:35:14
  Speaker 6: those words expressed, Fair queen, oppose not what the gods command.
• 3:35:20
  Speaker 6: Forced by my fate, I leave your happy land. Thus,
• 3:35:25
  Speaker 6: while he spoke, already she began, with sparkling eyes to
• 3:35:28
  Speaker 6: view the guilty man from head to foot, surveyed his personnel.
• 3:35:33
  Speaker 6: Nor longer these outrageous threats forebore false, as thou art,
• 3:35:39
  Speaker 6: and more than false forsworn, not sprung from noble blood
• 3:35:44
  Speaker 6: nor goddess born, but hewn from hardened entrails of a
• 3:35:48
  Speaker 6: rock and rough Hyrcanian tigers gave thee suck. Why should
• 3:35:53
  Speaker 6: I fall? What have I worse to fear? Did he
• 3:35:57
  Speaker 6: once look or lend a listening ear sighed when I
• 3:36:01
  Speaker 6: sobbed or shed one kindly tear all symptoms of a base,
• 3:36:06
  Speaker 6: ungrateful mind, so foul that which is worst is hard
• 3:36:10
  Speaker 6: to find of man's injustice. Why should I complain? The
• 3:36:15
  Speaker 6: gods and Jove himself behold in vain triumphant treason. Yet
• 3:36:20
  Speaker 6: no thunder flies nor Juno views my wrongs with equal eyes.
• 3:36:27
  Speaker 6: Faithless is Earth and faithless other skies. Justice is fled,
• 3:36:33
  Speaker 6: and truth is now no more. I saved the shipwracked
• 3:36:38
  Speaker 6: exile on my shore with needful food, His hungry trojans fed.
• 3:36:44
  Speaker 6: I took the traitor to my throne and bed fool
• 3:36:49
  Speaker 6: that I was tis little to repeat the rest I
• 3:36:52
  Speaker 6: stored and rigged his ruined fleet. I rave, I rave
• 3:36:57
  Speaker 6: a god's command, he pleads, and makes heaven accessory to
• 3:37:02
  Speaker 6: his deeds, now Lycian lots, and now the Delian god,
• 3:37:06
  Speaker 6: now Hermes is employed from Jove's abode to warn him,
• 3:37:10
  Speaker 6: hence as if the peaceful state of heavenly powers were
• 3:37:14
  Speaker 6: touched with human fate. But go thy flight, no longer
• 3:37:19
  Speaker 6: I detain. Go seek Thy promised kingdom through the main.
• 3:37:23
  Speaker 6: Yet if the heavens will hear my pious vou, the
• 3:37:27
  Speaker 6: faithless waves not half so false as thou or secret
• 3:37:32
  Speaker 6: sands shall sepulchers afford to thy proud vessels and their
• 3:37:37
  Speaker 6: perjured lord. Then shalt thou call on injured Diido's name.
• 3:37:43
  Speaker 6: Dido shall come in a black sulfrey flame. When death
• 3:37:46
  Speaker 6: has once dissolved. Her mortal frame shall smile to see
• 3:37:51
  Speaker 6: the trait of vainly weep. Her angry ghost, arising from
• 3:37:55
  Speaker 6: the deep, shall haunt thee waking and disturb thy sleep.
• 3:38:00
  Speaker 6: At least my shade, thy punishment shall know, and fame
• 3:38:04
  Speaker 6: shall spread the pleasing news below. Abruptly, here she stops,
• 3:38:10
  Speaker 6: then turns away her loathing eyes and shuns the sight
• 3:38:13
  Speaker 6: of day. Amazed, he stood, revolving in his mind what
• 3:38:18
  Speaker 6: speech to frame and what excuse to find her. Fearful
• 3:38:22
  Speaker 6: maids their fainting mistress led and softly laid her on
• 3:38:26
  Speaker 6: her ivory bed. But good Aeneas, though he much desired
• 3:38:31
  Speaker 6: to give that pity which her grief required, Though much
• 3:38:35
  Speaker 6: he mourned and labored, with his love resolved, at length
• 3:38:39
  Speaker 6: obeys the will of Jove reviews his forces. They, with
• 3:38:44
  Speaker 6: early care, are more their vessels, and for sea prepare.
• 3:38:48
  Speaker 6: The fleet is soon afloat in all its pride and
• 3:38:50
  Speaker 6: well culked galleys in the harbor ride then oaks for
• 3:38:54
  Speaker 6: oars they felled, or as they stood of its green
• 3:38:57
  Speaker 6: arms despoiled the growing wood studious of flight. The beach
• 3:39:02
  Speaker 6: is covered are with Trojan bands that blacken all the shore.
• 3:39:06
  Speaker 6: On every side are scene descending down thick swarms of
• 3:39:10
  Speaker 6: soldiers loaden from the town. Thus, in Battalia march embodied ants,
• 3:39:15
  Speaker 6: fearful of winter and of future, wants to invade the
• 3:39:19
  Speaker 6: corn and to their cells convey the plundered forage of
• 3:39:22
  Speaker 6: their yellow prey. The sable troops along the narrow tracks
• 3:39:26
  Speaker 6: scarce bear the weighty burthen on their backs. Some set
• 3:39:30
  Speaker 6: their shoulders to the pondrous grain, Some guard the spoil,
• 3:39:34
  Speaker 6: some lash the lagging train. All ply their several tusks
• 3:39:38
  Speaker 6: and equal toils sustain what pangs the tender breast of
• 3:39:44
  Speaker 6: Dido bore when from the towers she saw the covered
• 3:39:48
  Speaker 6: shore and heard the shouts of sailors from afar, mixed
• 3:39:52
  Speaker 6: with the murmurs of the watery war. All powerful love,
• 3:39:57
  Speaker 6: what changes canst thou cause in human hearts? Subjected to
• 3:40:00
  Speaker 6: Thy laws? Once more her haughty soul, the tyrant bends
• 3:40:05
  Speaker 6: to prayers and means submission. She descends no female arts
• 3:40:10
  Speaker 6: or aide. She left untried, nor counsels unexplored before she died. Look, Anna,
• 3:40:17
  Speaker 6: look the Trojans crowd to see. They spread their canvas
• 3:40:21
  Speaker 6: and their anchor's weigh, the shouting crew, their ships with
• 3:40:24
  Speaker 6: garlands bind, invoke the sea gods, and invite the wind.
• 3:40:29
  Speaker 6: Could I have thought this threatening blow so near my
• 3:40:33
  Speaker 6: tender soul had been forewarned to bear? But do not
• 3:40:38
  Speaker 6: you my last request? Deny with yon, perfidious man your
• 3:40:42
  Speaker 6: interest to try and bring me news if I must
• 3:40:45
  Speaker 6: live or die. You are his favorite. You alone can
• 3:40:49
  Speaker 6: find the dark recesses of his inmost mind, in all
• 3:40:53
  Speaker 6: his trusted secrets. You have part and know the soft
• 3:40:56
  Speaker 6: approaches to his heart. Haste then, and humbly seek my
• 3:41:01
  Speaker 6: haughty foe. Tell him I did not with the Grecians go,
• 3:41:06
  Speaker 6: nor did my fleet against his friends employ, nor swore
• 3:41:10
  Speaker 6: the ruin of unhappy Troy, nor moved with hands profane
• 3:41:13
  Speaker 6: his father's dust. Why should he then reject a suit?
• 3:41:17
  Speaker 6: So just whom does he shun? And whither would he fly?
• 3:41:22
  Speaker 6: Can he this last? This only prayer? Den I let
• 3:41:27
  Speaker 6: him at least his dangerous fright, delay, wait better winds,
• 3:41:31
  Speaker 6: and hope a calmer see the nuptials, he disclaims. I
• 3:41:35
  Speaker 6: urge no more. Let him pursue the promised Latian share.
• 3:41:39
  Speaker 6: A short delay is all I ask him now, A
• 3:41:43
  Speaker 6: pause of grief, an interval from woe, till my soft
• 3:41:49
  Speaker 6: soul be tempered to sustain accustomed sorrows and inured to pain.
• 3:41:55
  Speaker 6: If you, in pity grant this one request, my death
• 3:41:58
  Speaker 6: shall glut the hatred of his breast. This mournful message.
• 3:42:04
  Speaker 6: Pieus Anna bears and seconds with her own her sister's tears,
• 3:42:09
  Speaker 6: but all her arts are still employed in vain. Again
• 3:42:13
  Speaker 6: she comes and is refused. Again. His hardened heart, nor prayers,
• 3:42:18
  Speaker 6: nor threatenings move fate, and the God had stopped his
• 3:42:23
  Speaker 6: ears to love. As when the winds their airy quarrel
• 3:42:28
  Speaker 6: tried jostling from every quarter of the sky. This sway
• 3:42:31
  Speaker 6: and that the mountain oak they bend. His boughs, they shatter,
• 3:42:35
  Speaker 6: and his branches rend with leaves and falling masts, they
• 3:42:39
  Speaker 6: spread the ground. The hollow valleys echo to the sound.
• 3:42:43
  Speaker 6: Unmoved the royal plant. Their fury mocks or shaken clings
• 3:42:49
  Speaker 6: more closely to the rocks, For as he shoots his
• 3:42:52
  Speaker 6: towering head on high, so deep in earth, his fixed
• 3:42:56
  Speaker 6: foundations lie no less a storm. The Trojan hero bears
• 3:43:02
  Speaker 6: thick messages and loud complaints. He hears and bandied words,
• 3:43:06
  Speaker 6: still beating on his ears. Sighs, groans, and tears proclaim
• 3:43:11
  Speaker 6: his inward pains, but the firm purpose of his heart remains.
• 3:43:17
  Speaker 6: The wretched queen, pursued by cruel fate, begins at length
• 3:43:22
  Speaker 6: the light of heaven to hate and loathes to live. Then,
• 3:43:26
  Speaker 6: dire portense she sees to hasten on the death her
• 3:43:29
  Speaker 6: soul decrees strange to relate, for when before the shrine
• 3:43:34
  Speaker 6: she paus in sacrifice the purple wine, the purple wine
• 3:43:38
  Speaker 6: is turned to putrid blood, and the white offered milk
• 3:43:42
  Speaker 6: converts to mud. This dire pressage to her alone, revealed
• 3:43:48
  Speaker 6: from all and even her sister. She concealed a marble
• 3:43:52
  Speaker 6: temple stood within the grove, sacred to death and to
• 3:43:56
  Speaker 6: her murdered love, that honored chapel she had hung round
• 3:44:00
  Speaker 6: with snowy fleeces and with garlands crowned oft when she
• 3:44:04
  Speaker 6: visited this lonely dome. Strange voices issued from her husband's tomb.
• 3:44:10
  Speaker 6: She thought she heard him summon her away, invite her
• 3:44:14
  Speaker 6: to his grave, and chide her. Stay hourly tis heard
• 3:44:19
  Speaker 6: when with aboding note, the solitary screech owl strains her throat,
• 3:44:23
  Speaker 6: and on a chimney's top or turret's height, with songs
• 3:44:27
  Speaker 6: obscene disturbs the silence of the night. Besides old prophecies
• 3:44:33
  Speaker 6: augment her fears, and Sternineus in her dreams appears disdainful,
• 3:44:37
  Speaker 6: as by day she seems alone, to wander in her
• 3:44:41
  Speaker 6: sleep through ways unknown, guideless and dark, or in a
• 3:44:47
  Speaker 6: desert plain, to seek her subjects, and to seek in
• 3:44:51
  Speaker 6: vain like Pentheus, when distracted with his fear he saw
• 3:44:56
  Speaker 6: two suns and double thebes appear, or man had orestes
• 3:45:00
  Speaker 6: when his mother's ghost full in his face, infernal tortures
• 3:45:04
  Speaker 6: tossed and shook her snaky locks. He shuns the sight,
• 3:45:08
  Speaker 6: flies o'er the stage, surprised with mortal fright. The furies
• 3:45:13
  Speaker 6: guard the door and intercept his flight. Now sinking underneath
• 3:45:19
  Speaker 6: a load of grief from death, alone, she seeks her
• 3:45:22
  Speaker 6: last relief, the time and means resolved within her breast,
• 3:45:27
  Speaker 6: She to her mournful sister thus addressed, dissembling hope her
• 3:45:31
  Speaker 6: cloudy front. She clears, and a false vigor in her
• 3:45:34
  Speaker 6: eyes appears. Rejoice, she said, instructed from above, my lover,
• 3:45:41
  Speaker 6: I shall gain or lose my love. Nigh rising Atlas,
• 3:45:45
  Speaker 6: next the falling sun. Long tracts of Ethiopian climates run
• 3:45:50
  Speaker 6: there a Massilian priestess. I have found honored for age,
• 3:45:54
  Speaker 6: for magic arts, renowned the Hesperian temples her trusted care.
• 3:46:00
  Speaker 6: While she supplied the wakeful dragon's fair. She poppy seeds
• 3:46:04
  Speaker 6: in honey, talked to Steep, reclaimed his rage, and soothed
• 3:46:09
  Speaker 6: him into sleep. She watched the golden fruit. Her charms
• 3:46:14
  Speaker 6: unbind the chains of love or fix them on the mind.
• 3:46:18
  Speaker 6: She stops the torrents, leaves the channel dry, repels the stars,
• 3:46:24
  Speaker 6: and backwards bears the sky. The yawning earth rebellows to
• 3:46:28
  Speaker 6: her call. Pale ghosts ascend, and mountain ashes fall. Witness,
• 3:46:33
  Speaker 6: ye gods, and thou my better part. How loathe I
• 3:46:37
  Speaker 6: am to try this impious art. Within the secret court
• 3:46:41
  Speaker 6: with silent care erect a lofty pile exposed in air
• 3:46:47
  Speaker 6: hang on the topmost part. The trojan vest spoils arms,
• 3:46:51
  Speaker 6: and presence of my faithless guest. Next under those the
• 3:46:55
  Speaker 6: bridal bed be placed, where I my ruin in his
• 3:46:59
  Speaker 6: arms embrace. All relics of the wretch are doomed to fire.
• 3:47:04
  Speaker 6: For so the priestess and her charms require. Thus far
• 3:47:08
  Speaker 6: she said, and farther speech for bears a mortal paleness
• 3:47:13
  Speaker 6: in her face appears. Yet the mistrustless Anna could not
• 3:47:17
  Speaker 6: find the secret funeral in these rites designed, nor thought
• 3:47:22
  Speaker 6: so dire. A rage possessed her mind, unknowing of a
• 3:47:26
  Speaker 6: train concealed so well, she feared no worse than when
• 3:47:29
  Speaker 6: Siricaeus fell. Therefore a base the fatal pile their rear
• 3:47:34
  Speaker 6: within the secret court exposed in air, the cloven holmes
• 3:47:38
  Speaker 6: and pines are heaped on high, and garlands on the
• 3:47:41
  Speaker 6: hollow spaces lie sad Cypress verven Ewe compose the wreath
• 3:47:47
  Speaker 6: and every baleful green denoting death. The queen determined to
• 3:47:53
  Speaker 6: the fatal deed, the spoils and sword he left in
• 3:47:56
  Speaker 6: order spread and the man's image on the nuptial bed.
• 3:48:01
  Speaker 6: And now the sacred altars placed around the priestess enters
• 3:48:06
  Speaker 6: with her hair unbound, and thrice invokes the powers below
• 3:48:11
  Speaker 6: the ground night, erebus and chaos, she proclaims, and threefold
• 3:48:16
  Speaker 6: heckert with her hundred names and three dianas. Next, she
• 3:48:21
  Speaker 6: sprinkles round with feigned avernian drops the hallowed ground, culls
• 3:48:26
  Speaker 6: hoary simples found by Phoebe's light with brazen sickles reaped
• 3:48:31
  Speaker 6: at noon of night, then mixes baleful juices in the
• 3:48:35
  Speaker 6: bowl and cuts the forehead of a newborn full, robbing
• 3:48:39
  Speaker 6: the mother's love. The destined queen observes, assisting at the rights, obscene.
• 3:48:47
  Speaker 6: A leavened cake in her devoted hands she holds, and
• 3:48:51
  Speaker 6: next the highest altar stands. One tender foot was shod,
• 3:48:56
  Speaker 6: the other bare girt was her gathered gown, and loose
• 3:49:00
  Speaker 6: her hair. Thus dressed, she summoned with her dying breath
• 3:49:05
  Speaker 6: the heavens and planets, conscious of her death, and every power,
• 3:49:09
  Speaker 6: if any rules above, who minds o'er who revenges injured love?
• 3:49:16
  Speaker 6: Twas dead of night, when weary bodies close their eyes
• 3:49:20
  Speaker 6: in balmy sleep and soft repose. The winds no longer
• 3:49:24
  Speaker 6: whisper through the woods, nor murmuring tides disturb the gentle
• 3:49:28
  Speaker 6: floods the stars in silent order, moved around, and peace
• 3:49:33
  Speaker 6: with downy wings was brooding on the ground. The flocks
• 3:49:38
  Speaker 6: and herds and parti colored fowl which haunt the woods
• 3:49:41
  Speaker 6: or swim the weedy pool stretched on the quiet earth
• 3:49:45
  Speaker 6: securely lay forgetting the past labours of the day. All
• 3:49:50
  Speaker 6: else of nature's common gift partake unhappy Di Dooh was alone, awake,
• 3:49:58
  Speaker 6: nor sleep nor ease the fear as queen can find.
• 3:50:02
  Speaker 6: Sleep fled her eyes, as quiet fled her mind. Despair
• 3:50:06
  Speaker 6: and rage and love divide her heart. Despair and rage
• 3:50:11
  Speaker 6: had some, but love the greater part. Then thus she said,
• 3:50:16
  Speaker 6: within her secret mind, what shall I do? What succor
• 3:50:20
  Speaker 6: can I find? Become a suppliant to Yaba's pride and
• 3:50:24
  Speaker 6: take my turn to court and be denied? Shall I,
• 3:50:28
  Speaker 6: with this ungrateful Trojan go forsake an empire and a
• 3:50:33
  Speaker 6: tender foe himself I refuged and his train relieved? Tis true?
• 3:50:39
  Speaker 6: But am I sure to be received? Can gratitude in
• 3:50:43
  Speaker 6: trojan souls have place? Laomedon still lives in all his race?
• 3:50:49
  Speaker 6: Or shall I seek alone the churlish crew, or with
• 3:50:52
  Speaker 6: my fleet their flying sails pursue? What force have I
• 3:50:56
  Speaker 6: but those whom scarce before I drew reluctant from them
• 3:51:00
  Speaker 6: my native shore. Will they again embark at my desire
• 3:51:03
  Speaker 6: once more sustain the seas and quit their second tire?
• 3:51:08
  Speaker 6: Rather would steal thy guilty breast invaded and take the fortune.
• 3:51:13
  Speaker 6: Thou thyself hast made your pity sister first seduced my mind,
• 3:51:19
  Speaker 6: or seconded too well what I designed, these dear bought pleasures.
• 3:51:24
  Speaker 6: Had I never known, had I continued free and still
• 3:51:28
  Speaker 6: my own avoiding love, I had not found despair, but
• 3:51:33
  Speaker 6: shared with savage beasts the common air, like them, a
• 3:51:36
  Speaker 6: lonely life I might have led, not mourned the living,
• 3:51:41
  Speaker 6: nor disturbed the dead. These thoughts, she brooded in her
• 3:51:45
  Speaker 6: anxious breast. On board the trojan found more easy rest,
• 3:51:50
  Speaker 6: resolved to sail in sleep. He passed the night and
• 3:51:54
  Speaker 6: ordered all things for his early flight, to whom once
• 3:51:58
  Speaker 6: more the winged god appeared, his former youthful mien and
• 3:52:02
  Speaker 6: shape he wears, and with this new alarm invades his ears.
• 3:52:07
  Speaker 6: Sleep'st thou, o goddess born, and cant thou drown Thy
• 3:52:12
  Speaker 6: needful cares so near a hostile town beset with foes,
• 3:52:16
  Speaker 6: Nor hear'st the western gales invite thy passage and inspire
• 3:52:20
  Speaker 6: thy sails. She harbors in her heart a furious hate,
• 3:52:25
  Speaker 6: and thou shalt find the dire effects too late, fixed
• 3:52:29
  Speaker 6: on revenge, and obstinate to die Haste swiftly. Hence, whilst
• 3:52:33
  Speaker 6: thou hast power to fly the sea with ships will
• 3:52:37
  Speaker 6: soon be covered o'er and blazing firebrands kindle all the shore,
• 3:52:42
  Speaker 6: prevent her rage, while night obscures the skies and sail
• 3:52:45
  Speaker 6: before the purple morna rise. Who knows what hazards thy
• 3:52:49
  Speaker 6: delay may bring woman's of various and a changeful thing. Thus,
• 3:52:56
  Speaker 6: Hermes in the dream then took his flight aloft in air,
• 3:53:00
  Speaker 6: unseen and mixed with night. Twice warned by the celestial messenger,
• 3:53:05
  Speaker 6: the pious Prince arose with hasty fear. Then roused his
• 3:53:09
  Speaker 6: drowsy train without delay. Haste to your banks, your crooked
• 3:53:13
  Speaker 6: anchor's way, and spread your flying sails, and stand to
• 3:53:16
  Speaker 6: see a god commands. He stood before my sight and
• 3:53:20
  Speaker 6: urged us once again to speedy flight our sacred power.
• 3:53:24
  Speaker 6: What passoe'er thou art to thy blessed orders? I resign
• 3:53:28
  Speaker 6: my heart, lead thou the way, protect thy trojan bands
• 3:53:32
  Speaker 6: and prosper the design thy will commands, he said, and
• 3:53:37
  Speaker 6: drawing forth his flaming sword, his thundering arm divides the
• 3:53:41
  Speaker 6: many twisted cord, and emulating zeal inspires his train. They run,
• 3:53:46
  Speaker 6: they snatch, They rush into the main with headlong haste.
• 3:53:50
  Speaker 6: They leave the desert shores and brush the liquid seas
• 3:53:53
  Speaker 6: with laboring oars. Aurora now had left her saffron bed
• 3:53:59
  Speaker 6: and beams of early light the heavens are spread. When
• 3:54:02
  Speaker 6: from a tower the queen, with wakeful eyes sore day,
• 3:54:06
  Speaker 6: point upward from the rosy skies. She looked to seaward,
• 3:54:11
  Speaker 6: but the sea was void and scarce in ken the
• 3:54:15
  Speaker 6: sailing ships descried. Stung with despite and furious with despair,
• 3:54:21
  Speaker 6: she struck her trembling breast and tore her hair. And
• 3:54:25
  Speaker 6: shall the ungrateful traitor go, she said, my land forsaken
• 3:54:30
  Speaker 6: and my love betrayed. Shall we not arm, not rush
• 3:54:34
  Speaker 6: from every street to follow sink and burn his purjured fleet?
• 3:54:40
  Speaker 6: Haste all my galleys out, pursue the foe, Bring flaming brands,
• 3:54:44
  Speaker 6: set sail, and swiftly row. What have I said? Where
• 3:54:47
  Speaker 6: am I? Fury turns my brain and my distempered bosom burns.
• 3:54:54
  Speaker 6: Then when I gave my person and my throne, this hate,
• 3:54:58
  Speaker 6: this rage, had been more timely shown. See now the
• 3:55:03
  Speaker 6: promised faith, the vaunted name, the pious man, who, rushing
• 3:55:08
  Speaker 6: through the flame, preserved his gods, and to the Phrygian shaw,
• 3:55:11
  Speaker 6: the burthen of his feeble father bore. I should have
• 3:55:15
  Speaker 6: torn him piecemeal, strolled in floods, his scattered limbs, all
• 3:55:20
  Speaker 6: left exposed in woods, destroyed his friends and son, and
• 3:55:24
  Speaker 6: from the fire have set the reeking boy before the sire.
• 3:55:28
  Speaker 6: Events are doubtful, which, on battle's wait, yet wears the
• 3:55:33
  Speaker 6: doubt to souls secure of fate. Ny Tyrians, at their
• 3:55:37
  Speaker 6: injured queen's command, had tossed their fires amid the Trojan
• 3:55:41
  Speaker 6: band at once extinguished all the faithless name, and I myself,
• 3:55:46
  Speaker 6: in vengeance of my shame, had fallen upon the pile
• 3:55:49
  Speaker 6: to mend the funeral flame. Thou son, who used at
• 3:55:54
  Speaker 6: once the world below, Thou juno, guardian of the nuptial
• 3:55:58
  Speaker 6: Thou thou heck hearken from thy dark abodes, Ye furies,
• 3:56:03
  Speaker 6: fiends and violated gods, All powers invoked with Dido's dying
• 3:56:08
  Speaker 6: breath attend her curses and avenge her death. If so
• 3:56:14
  Speaker 6: the fates Ordain Jove commands the ungrateful wretch should find
• 3:56:18
  Speaker 6: the Latin lands. Yet, let a race untamed and haughty,
• 3:56:23
  Speaker 6: foes his peaceful entrance with dire arms, oppose, oppressed with
• 3:56:29
  Speaker 6: numbers in the unequal field, his men discourage, and himself expelled.
• 3:56:34
  Speaker 6: Let him, for succor sue from place to place, torn
• 3:56:38
  Speaker 6: from his subjects and his son's embrace. First, let him
• 3:56:42
  Speaker 6: see his friends in battle, slain, and their untimely fate
• 3:56:46
  Speaker 6: lament in vain. And when at length the cruel war
• 3:56:49
  Speaker 6: shall cease on hard conditions, may he buy his peace,
• 3:56:55
  Speaker 6: Nor let them then enjoy supreme command, but fall untimely
• 3:56:59
  Speaker 6: by some hostile hand, and lie unburied on the barren sand.
• 3:57:05
  Speaker 6: These are my prayers, and this my dying will. And you,
• 3:57:09
  Speaker 6: my tyrians, every curse fulfill perpetual hate and mortal wars
• 3:57:15
  Speaker 6: proclaim against the Prince, the people and the name. These
• 3:57:19
  Speaker 6: grateful offerings on my grave bestow nor league nor love.
• 3:57:24
  Speaker 6: The hostile nations know now and from hence in every
• 3:57:29
  Speaker 6: future age, when rage excites your arms and strength supplies
• 3:57:33
  Speaker 6: the rage, rise some avenger of our Libyan blood, with
• 3:57:38
  Speaker 6: fire and sword, pursue the perjured brood, our arms, our seas,
• 3:57:43
  Speaker 6: our shawls opposed to theirs, and the same hate descend
• 3:57:47
  Speaker 6: on all our heirs. This said within her anxious mind,
• 3:57:52
  Speaker 6: she weighs the means of cutting short her odious days.
• 3:57:56
  Speaker 6: Then to Cicaeau's nurse, she briefly said, for when she
• 3:57:59
  Speaker 6: left her country, hers was dead. Go barkiy, call my sister.
• 3:58:05
  Speaker 6: Let her care the solemn rites of sacrifice, prepare the sheep,
• 3:58:09
  Speaker 6: and all the atoning offerings, bring sprinkling her body from
• 3:58:13
  Speaker 6: the crystal spring with living drops. Then let her come,
• 3:58:17
  Speaker 6: and thou, with sacred filets bind thy hoary brow. Thus
• 3:58:21
  Speaker 6: will I pay my vows to Stygian Jove and end
• 3:58:24
  Speaker 6: the cares of my disastrous love. Then cast the Trojan
• 3:58:28
  Speaker 6: image on the fire, and as that burns, my passions
• 3:58:32
  Speaker 6: shall expire. The nurse moves onward with officious care and
• 3:58:37
  Speaker 6: all the speed her aged limbs can bear, But furious Dido,
• 3:58:42
  Speaker 6: with dark thoughts involved, shook at the mighty mischief. She
• 3:58:46
  Speaker 6: resolved with livid spots. Distinguished was her face, Red were
• 3:58:51
  Speaker 6: her rolling eyes, and discomposed her pace. Ghastly, she gazed
• 3:58:56
  Speaker 6: with pain, she drew her breath and nature shivered at
• 3:59:01
  Speaker 6: approaching death. Then swiftly to the fatal place she passed
• 3:59:07
  Speaker 6: and mounts the funeral pile with furious haste. Unsheathed the
• 3:59:11
  Speaker 6: sword the Trojan left behind, not for so dire an
• 3:59:15
  Speaker 6: enterprise designed. But when she viewed the garments loosely spread
• 3:59:20
  Speaker 6: which once he wore, and saw the conscious bed, she paused,
• 3:59:25
  Speaker 6: and with a sigh the robes embraced. Then on the couch,
• 3:59:29
  Speaker 6: her trembling body cast repressed the ready tears, and spoke
• 3:59:34
  Speaker 6: her last dear pledges of my love. While heaven so pleased,
• 3:59:41
  Speaker 6: receive a soul of mortal anguish eased. My fatal course
• 3:59:46
  Speaker 6: is finished, and I go a glorious name among the
• 3:59:50
  Speaker 6: ghosts below. A lofty city by my hands is raised
• 3:59:55
  Speaker 6: Pygmalion punished and my lord appeased. What could my fortune
• 4:00:01
  Speaker 6: have afforded more had the false Trojan never touched my shore?
• 4:00:08
  Speaker 6: Then kissed the couch. And must I die? She said,
• 4:00:12
  Speaker 6: and unrevenged, tis doubly to be dead. Yet even this death,
• 4:00:18
  Speaker 6: with pleasure I receive on any terms, tis better than
• 4:00:23
  Speaker 6: to live. These flames from far may the false trojan
• 4:00:28
  Speaker 6: view these boding omens his base flight. Pursue, she said,
• 4:00:35
  Speaker 6: and struck deep enter'd in her side. The piercing steel
• 4:00:40
  Speaker 6: with reeking purple dyed clogged in the wound. The cruel
• 4:00:45
  Speaker 6: weapon stands. The spouting blood came streaming on her hands.
• 4:00:51
  Speaker 6: Her sad attendant saw the deadly stroke, and with loud cries,
• 4:00:54
  Speaker 6: the sounding palace shook. Distracted from the fatal sight, they
• 4:00:59
  Speaker 6: fled and through the town. The dismal rumor spread. First
• 4:01:03
  Speaker 6: from the frighted court, the yell began, redoubled, thence from
• 4:01:06
  Speaker 6: house to house it ran the groans of men, with shrieks,
• 4:01:10
  Speaker 6: laments and cries of mixing women mount the vaulted skies,
• 4:01:15
  Speaker 6: not less the clamor than if ancient tire or the
• 4:01:18
  Speaker 6: new carthage set by foes on fire, the rolling ruin
• 4:01:23
  Speaker 6: with their loved abodes involved the blazing temples of their gods.
• 4:01:28
  Speaker 6: Her sister hears, and furious with despair, she beats her
• 4:01:33
  Speaker 6: breast and rends her yellow hair, and, calling on Eliza's
• 4:01:37
  Speaker 6: name aloud, runs breathless to the place and breaks the crowd.
• 4:01:43
  Speaker 6: Was all that pomp of woe for this prepared these fires,
• 4:01:47
  Speaker 6: This funeral pile, these altars reared? Was all this train
• 4:01:52
  Speaker 6: of plots contrived? Said she, all only to deceive unhappy me,
• 4:01:59
  Speaker 6: Which is the worst. Didst thou in death pretend to
• 4:02:03
  Speaker 6: scorn thy sister or delude thy friend? Thy summoned sister,
• 4:02:09
  Speaker 6: and thy friend had come. One's sword had served us
• 4:02:13
  Speaker 6: both one common tomb. Was I to raise the pile?
• 4:02:18
  Speaker 6: The powers invoke not to be present at the fatal
• 4:02:22
  Speaker 6: stroke at once thou hast destroyed thyself and me, thy town,
• 4:02:28
  Speaker 6: thy senate, and thy colony. Bring water, bathe the wound,
• 4:02:34
  Speaker 6: while I, in death lay close my lips to hers
• 4:02:37
  Speaker 6: and catch the flying breath, dis said. She mounts the
• 4:02:41
  Speaker 6: pile with eager haste, and in her arms. The gasping
• 4:02:44
  Speaker 6: queen embraced, her temples chafed, and her own garments tore
• 4:02:49
  Speaker 6: to staunch the streaming blood and cleanse the gore. Thrice
• 4:02:53
  Speaker 6: Dido tried to raise her drooping head, and, fainting, Thrice
• 4:02:58
  Speaker 6: fell groveling on the bed. Thrice OpEd her heavy eyes
• 4:03:02
  Speaker 6: and sought the light, but, having found it, sickened at
• 4:03:06
  Speaker 6: the sight and closed her lids. At last an endless night.
• 4:03:12
  Speaker 6: Then Juno, grieving that she should sustain a death so
• 4:03:16
  Speaker 6: lingering and so full of pain, sent Iris down to
• 4:03:20
  Speaker 6: free her from the strife of laboring nature and dissolve
• 4:03:24
  Speaker 6: her life. For since she died not doomed by Heaven's
• 4:03:29
  Speaker 6: decree of her own crime, but human casualty and rage
• 4:03:33
  Speaker 6: of love that plunged her in despair, the sisters had
• 4:03:38
  Speaker 6: not cut the topmost hair, which proserpine and they can
• 4:03:41
  Speaker 6: only know, nor made her sacred to the shades below Downward,
• 4:03:46
  Speaker 6: the various goddess took her flight and drew a thousand
• 4:03:50
  Speaker 6: colors from the light, then stood above the dying lover's
• 4:03:54
  Speaker 6: head and said, I thus devote thee to the dead.
• 4:04:00
  Speaker 6: This offering to the infernal gods I bear. Thus while
• 4:04:05
  Speaker 6: she spoke, she cut the fatal hair. The struggling soul
• 4:04:10
  Speaker 6: was loos'd and life dissolv'd. In Air.
• 4:04:18
  Speaker 2: And Book four, Book five, Games and a Conflagration, Part one. Meantime,
• 4:04:26
  Speaker 2: the trojan cuts his wat'ry way, fix'd on his voyage
• 4:04:31
  Speaker 2: through the curling sea. Then, casting back his eyes with
• 4:04:37
  Speaker 2: dire amaze, sees on the punic shore the mounting blaze,
• 4:04:43
  Speaker 2: the cause unknown yet his presaging mind. The fate of
• 4:04:48
  Speaker 2: Dido from the fire divin'd he knew the stormy souls
• 4:04:54
  Speaker 2: of womankind, what secret springs their eager passions move, how
• 4:05:00
  Speaker 2: capable of death? For injur'd love dire auguries. From thence
• 4:05:08
  Speaker 2: the Trojans draw till neither fires nor shining shores they
• 4:05:13
  Speaker 2: saw now seas and skies. Their prospect only bound an
• 4:05:20
  Speaker 2: empty space above a floating field around. But soon the
• 4:05:26
  Speaker 2: heavens with shadows were o'erspread. A swelling cloud hung hovering
• 4:05:31
  Speaker 2: o'er their head. Livid, it look'd the threatening of a storm.
• 4:05:37
  Speaker 2: Then night and horror ocean's faced deform'd. The pilot Pallinurus
• 4:05:43
  Speaker 2: cried aloud, what gusts of weather from that gathering cloud?
• 4:05:48
  Speaker 2: My thoughts presage ere, Yet the tempest roars. Stand to
• 4:05:55
  Speaker 2: your tackle mates, and stretch your oars country, tract your
• 4:06:00
  Speaker 2: swelling sails, and luff to win. The frighted crew perform'd
• 4:06:06
  Speaker 2: the task assign'd then to his fearless chief. Not heav'n,
• 4:06:11
  Speaker 2: said he, though Jove himself should promise Italy can stem
• 4:06:17
  Speaker 2: the torrent of this raging sea. Mark how the shifting
• 4:06:23
  Speaker 2: winds from west arise, and what collect'd night involves the skies,
• 4:06:29
  Speaker 2: Nor can our shaken vessels live at sea much less
• 4:06:34
  Speaker 2: against the tempest force their way tis fate diverts our course,
• 4:06:39
  Speaker 2: and fate we must obey. Not far from hence, if
• 4:06:44
  Speaker 2: I observ'd aright the southing of the stars and polar light,
• 4:06:48
  Speaker 2: Sicilia lies, whose hospitable shores in safety we may reach
• 4:06:54
  Speaker 2: with struggling oars aneas then repli'd too sure I find
• 4:07:01
  Speaker 2: we strive in vain against the seas and wind. Now
• 4:07:06
  Speaker 2: shift your sails. What place can please me more than
• 4:07:10
  Speaker 2: what you promise? The Sicilian shore, whose hallow'd earth anchises
• 4:07:16
  Speaker 2: bone contains, and where a prince of Trojan lineage reigns
• 4:07:22
  Speaker 2: the course resolv'd before the western wind, they scud a
• 4:07:27
  Speaker 2: main and make the port a sign. Meanwhile, a Cestes
• 4:07:32
  Speaker 2: from Alofty stand beheld the fleet descending on the land,
• 4:07:37
  Speaker 2: and not unmindful of his ancient race down from the cliff,
• 4:07:42
  Speaker 2: he ran with eager pace and held the hero in
• 4:07:46
  Speaker 2: a strict embrace of a rough Libyan bear. The spoils
• 4:07:51
  Speaker 2: he wore and either hand appointed javelin bore. His mother
• 4:07:57
  Speaker 2: was a dame of Dardan blood. His sire Crinisus a
• 4:08:03
  Speaker 2: Sicilian flood, he welcomes his returning friends ashore with plenteous
• 4:08:10
  Speaker 2: country cats and homely store. Now, when the following morn
• 4:08:16
  Speaker 2: had chas'd away, the flying stars and light restor'd the day,
• 4:08:21
  Speaker 2: Annaeus call'd the Trojan troops around, and thus bespoke them
• 4:08:27
  Speaker 2: from a rising ground offspring of heaven divine Dardanian race,
• 4:08:34
  Speaker 2: the sun revolving through the material space, the shining circle
• 4:08:40
  Speaker 2: of the year has fill'd since first this isle my
• 4:08:43
  Speaker 2: father's ashes held, and now the rising day renews the
• 4:08:49
  Speaker 2: year a day for ever sad, forever deer. This would
• 4:08:55
  Speaker 2: I celebrate with annual games, with gifts on altar pil'd
• 4:09:00
  Speaker 2: and holy flames. Though banish'd to Gaetulia's barren sands caught
• 4:09:07
  Speaker 2: on the Grecian seas or hostile lands. But since this
• 4:09:12
  Speaker 2: happy storm, our fleet has driv'n not as I deem
• 4:09:17
  Speaker 2: without the will of Heaven, upon these friendly shores and
• 4:09:21
  Speaker 2: flow'ry plains, which hide anchises and his blest remains. Let
• 4:09:28
  Speaker 2: us with joy perform his honors due and pray for
• 4:09:33
  Speaker 2: prosperous winds. Our voyage to renew, pray that in towns
• 4:09:38
  Speaker 2: and temples of our own the name of great anchises
• 4:09:42
  Speaker 2: may be known, and yearly games may spread the god's renown.
• 4:09:49
  Speaker 2: Our sport's assesses of the Trojan Race with royal gifts
• 4:09:55
  Speaker 2: ordain'd is pleas'd to grace two steers on every reship
• 4:10:00
  Speaker 2: the King bestows his gods, and ours shall share your
• 4:10:06
  Speaker 2: equal vowels. Besides, if nine days hence the rosy morn
• 4:10:12
  Speaker 2: shall with unclouded light, the skies adorn that day with
• 4:10:17
  Speaker 2: solemn sports, I mean to grace light galleys on the
• 4:10:21
  Speaker 2: seas shall run a wat'ry race. Some shall, in swiftness
• 4:10:27
  Speaker 2: for the gold contend, and others try the twanging bow
• 4:10:31
  Speaker 2: to bend. The strong with iron gauntlet's arm shall stand
• 4:10:37
  Speaker 2: depos'd in combat on the yellow sand. Let all be
• 4:10:41
  Speaker 2: present at their games, prepar'd and joyful victors wait the
• 4:10:46
  Speaker 2: just reward. But now assist the rites with Garland's crown,
• 4:10:52
  Speaker 2: he said, And first his brows with myrtle bound. Then
• 4:10:55
  Speaker 2: helymus by his example, lead and old assessed each adorn'd
• 4:11:01
  Speaker 2: his head. Thus, young Ascanius, with a sprightly grace, his
• 4:11:05
  Speaker 2: temples tied in all the Trojan race. Annaeus then advanced
• 4:11:11
  Speaker 2: amidst the train by thousands, followed through the fruitful plain
• 4:11:16
  Speaker 2: to great Anchises tomb, which, when he found he pour'd
• 4:11:20
  Speaker 2: to Bacchus on the hollow'd ground two bowls of sparkling
• 4:11:24
  Speaker 2: wine of milk, two more and two from offer'd bulls
• 4:11:29
  Speaker 2: of purple gore with roses. Then the sepulcher he strode,
• 4:11:35
  Speaker 2: and thus his father's ghost. He spoke aloud, hail o
• 4:11:41
  Speaker 2: ye holy manas hail again, paternal ashes now review'd in vain,
• 4:11:47
  Speaker 2: the gods permitted, not that you with me should reach
• 4:11:51
  Speaker 2: the promis'd shores of Italy or Tiber's flood, What flood?
• 4:11:56
  Speaker 2: Soe'er it be scarce? Had he finish'd, When, and with
• 4:12:00
  Speaker 2: speckled pride, a serpent from the tomb began to glide
• 4:12:05
  Speaker 2: his huge e bolk on seven high volumes. Rolled blue
• 4:12:10
  Speaker 2: was his breadth of back, but streaked with gold. Thus,
• 4:12:14
  Speaker 2: riding on his curls, he seem'd to pass a rolling
• 4:12:18
  Speaker 2: fire along and singe the grass more various colors through
• 4:12:22
  Speaker 2: his body, run than iris with a bow, imbibes the
• 4:12:27
  Speaker 2: sun betwixt the rising altars and around the sacred monster,
• 4:12:32
  Speaker 2: shot along the ground with harmless play amidst the balls
• 4:12:36
  Speaker 2: he passed, and with his lull in tongue essayed the taste.
• 4:12:41
  Speaker 2: Thus fed with holy food, the wondrous guest within the
• 4:12:45
  Speaker 2: hollow tomb retir'd to rest. The pious prince, surprised at
• 4:12:51
  Speaker 2: what he view'd the funeral honors, with more zeal renewed,
• 4:12:56
  Speaker 2: doubtful if this the place's genius were, or guardian of
• 4:13:02
  Speaker 2: his father's sepulcher two sheep, according to the rights, he
• 4:13:07
  Speaker 2: slew as many swine and steers of sable hue. New
• 4:13:11
  Speaker 2: generous wine he from the goblets, poured and called his
• 4:13:15
  Speaker 2: father's ghost from hell restored the glad. Tendons in long
• 4:13:21
  Speaker 2: order come offering their gifts at great anchises tomb. Some
• 4:13:26
  Speaker 2: add more oxen, some divide the spoil, Some place the
• 4:13:30
  Speaker 2: chargers on the grassy soil. Some blow the fire.
• 4:13:36
  Speaker 7: And offer'd entrails broil. Now came the day desired. The
• 4:13:42
  Speaker 7: skies were bright with rosy luster of the rising light.
• 4:13:46
  Speaker 7: The bordering people, roused by sounding fame of Trojan feasts
• 4:13:52
  Speaker 7: and great acestes, name the crowded shore with acclamations. Fill
• 4:13:58
  Speaker 7: part to behold and part to prove their skill. And
• 4:14:02
  Speaker 7: first the gifts in public view. They place green laurel
• 4:14:07
  Speaker 7: wreaths and palm the victor's grace.
• 4:14:10
  Speaker 2: Within the circle. Arms and tripods lie ingots of gold
• 4:14:15
  Speaker 2: and silver heaped on high, and vests embroidered of the
• 4:14:20
  Speaker 2: Tynean dye. The trumpet's clangor. Then the feast proclaims, and
• 4:14:26
  Speaker 2: all prepare for their appointed games. Four galleys first, with
• 4:14:31
  Speaker 2: equal rowers bear advancing in the watery lists appear the
• 4:14:37
  Speaker 2: speedy dolphin that outstrips the wind Boormanestes Orthur of the
• 4:14:43
  Speaker 2: Mamaean kind, Gaius, the vas Kima's bulk commands, which rising
• 4:14:49
  Speaker 2: like a towering city, stands Three trojans tug at every
• 4:14:55
  Speaker 2: laboring oar three banks in three degrees the sailor's beneath
• 4:15:01
  Speaker 2: their sturdy strokes. The billows roar. Sir Justus, who began
• 4:15:07
  Speaker 2: the Surgian race in the great Centawer, took the leading place.
• 4:15:13
  Speaker 2: Cloanthus on the sea, green Scylla stood from whom Cluentthius
• 4:15:19
  Speaker 2: draws his Trojan blood bar in the sea, against the
• 4:15:24
  Speaker 2: foaming shore, there stands a rock. The raging billows roar
• 4:15:29
  Speaker 2: above his head and stones, but when tis clear, uncurl
• 4:15:33
  Speaker 2: their ridgy backs, and at his foot appear in peace.
• 4:15:37
  Speaker 2: Below the gentle waters run. The comorants above lie basking
• 4:15:42
  Speaker 2: in the sun. On this the hero fixed an oak
• 4:15:46
  Speaker 2: in sight, the mark, to guide the mariners aright. To
• 4:15:52
  Speaker 2: bear with this, the seamens stretched their oars. Then round
• 4:15:56
  Speaker 2: the rock they steer and seek the former. Sure, the
• 4:16:01
  Speaker 2: lots decide their place above the rest, each leader shining
• 4:16:07
  Speaker 2: in his Tyrian vest. The common crew with wreaths of
• 4:16:12
  Speaker 2: poplar boughs, their temples crown and shade. Their sweaty brows
• 4:16:19
  Speaker 2: be smeared with oil, their naked shoulders shine. All take
• 4:16:23
  Speaker 2: their seats and wait the sounding side. They grip their oars,
• 4:16:28
  Speaker 2: and every panting breast is raised by turns, by hope,
• 4:16:33
  Speaker 2: by turns. With fear depressed, the clangor of the trumpet
• 4:16:39
  Speaker 2: gives the sign. At once they start advancing in a line.
• 4:16:44
  Speaker 2: With shouts. The sailors rend the starry skies, lashed with
• 4:16:49
  Speaker 2: their oars, the smoky billows rise, sparkles, the briny mane,
• 4:16:55
  Speaker 2: and the vexed ocean fries exact in time with equal strokes,
• 4:17:03
  Speaker 2: they row. At once, the brushing oars and brazen prow
• 4:17:09
  Speaker 2: dash up the sandy waves and ope the depths below.
• 4:17:14
  Speaker 2: Not fiery coursers in a chariot race invade the field
• 4:17:18
  Speaker 2: with half so swift a pace, nor the fierce driver,
• 4:17:22
  Speaker 2: with more fury, lends the sounding lash and ere the
• 4:17:26
  Speaker 2: stroke descends low to the wheels. His pliant body bends
• 4:17:33
  Speaker 2: the partial crowd. Their hopes and fears divide and aid
• 4:17:37
  Speaker 2: with eager shouts. The favor'd side cries, murmurs, clamors with
• 4:17:42
  Speaker 2: a mixing sound from woods to woods, from hills to hills.
• 4:17:48
  Speaker 2: Rebound amidst the loud applauses of the shore. Gaius outstripp'd
• 4:17:53
  Speaker 2: the rest and sprung before Cloanthus better Mann'd pursued him fast,
• 4:17:59
  Speaker 2: but his o'er masted galley check'd his haste. The centaur
• 4:18:04
  Speaker 2: and the dolphin brush'd the brine with equal oars, advancing
• 4:18:08
  Speaker 2: in a line. And now the mighty centaur seems to lead,
• 4:18:12
  Speaker 2: And now the speedy dolphin gets ahead. Now board to board,
• 4:18:17
  Speaker 2: the rival vessels row the billows laid, the skies and
• 4:18:21
  Speaker 2: ocean groans below. They reached the mark Prougaeus and his
• 4:18:27
  Speaker 2: trainin triumph rode the victors of the main, but steering
• 4:18:32
  Speaker 2: round he charg'd his pilot's stand more close to shore,
• 4:18:36
  Speaker 2: and skim along the sand. Let others bear to see
• 4:18:41
  Speaker 2: menote has heard, but secret shelves too. Cautiously he fear'd,
• 4:18:47
  Speaker 2: and fearing sought the deep and still aloof he steer'd
• 4:18:51
  Speaker 2: with louder cries. The captain call'd again bear to the
• 4:18:56
  Speaker 2: rocky shore and shun the main. He spoke, and speaking
• 4:19:00
  Speaker 2: at his stern, he saw the bold cloanthus near the shelvings,
• 4:19:05
  Speaker 2: draw betweens the mark and him the scylla stood, and
• 4:19:10
  Speaker 2: in a closer compass plow'd the flood. He passed the mark,
• 4:19:15
  Speaker 2: and wheeling got before Gaius blasphemed the gods devoutly, swore,
• 4:19:22
  Speaker 2: cried out for anger and his hair. He tore, mindless
• 4:19:26
  Speaker 2: of others' lives, so high was grown his rising rage,
• 4:19:31
  Speaker 2: and careless of his own. The trembling dotter to the
• 4:19:35
  Speaker 2: deck he drew, then hoisted up and overboard. He threw.
• 4:19:40
  Speaker 2: This done, he seiz'd the helm, His fellows cheer'd, turn'd
• 4:19:45
  Speaker 2: short upon the shelves, and madly steer'd hardly his head.
• 4:19:51
  Speaker 2: The plunging pilot rears clogged with his clothes and cumbered
• 4:19:55
  Speaker 2: with his years now dripping wet, he climbs the cliff
• 4:20:00
  Speaker 2: with pain. The crowd that saw him fall and float
• 4:20:04
  Speaker 2: again shout from the distant shore and loudly laughed to
• 4:20:08
  Speaker 2: see his heaving breast disgorge the briny draft. The following
• 4:20:13
  Speaker 2: centaur and the dolphin's crew their vanish'd hopes of victory renew.
• 4:20:18
  Speaker 2: While Gaias lags, they kindle in the race to reach
• 4:20:22
  Speaker 2: the marks. Sir Justus takes the place. Mnestheus pursues, and
• 4:20:27
  Speaker 2: while around they wind comes up not half his galley's
• 4:20:32
  Speaker 2: length behind. Then on the deck amidst his mates appear'd,
• 4:20:37
  Speaker 2: and thus their drooping courage. He cheer'd, my friends and
• 4:20:41
  Speaker 2: Hector's followers, heretofore exert your vigor, tug the lab'ring oar
• 4:20:47
  Speaker 2: stretch to your strokes, my still unconquer'd crew, whom from
• 4:20:52
  Speaker 2: the flaming walls of Troy I drew in this our
• 4:20:57
  Speaker 2: common interest. Let me find that's strength of hand, that
• 4:21:01
  Speaker 2: courage of the mind, as when you stem the strong
• 4:21:04
  Speaker 2: Malayan flood and all the cyritees broken billows roll'd. I
• 4:21:10
  Speaker 2: seek not now the foremost palm to gain though yet,
• 4:21:14
  Speaker 2: but ah that haughty wish is vain. Let those enjoy
• 4:21:19
  Speaker 2: it whom the gods ordain. But to be last the
• 4:21:24
  Speaker 2: lags of all the race, Redeem yourselves and me from
• 4:21:29
  Speaker 2: that disgrace. Now one and all they lug a main.
• 4:21:34
  Speaker 2: They row at the full stretch and shake the brazen prow.
• 4:21:39
  Speaker 2: The sea beneath them sinks, their lab'ring sides are swell'd,
• 4:21:44
  Speaker 2: and sweat runs guttering down in tides. Chance aids their
• 4:21:49
  Speaker 2: daring with unhoped success. Surgesice, eager with his beak to
• 4:21:55
  Speaker 2: press betwixt the rival galley, and the rock shuts up
• 4:21:59
  Speaker 2: the unwieldy centaur in the lock. The vessel struck, and
• 4:22:04
  Speaker 2: with the dreadful shot her oars she shiver'd, and her
• 4:22:09
  Speaker 2: head she broke. The trembling rowers from their banks arise, and,
• 4:22:14
  Speaker 2: anxious for themselves, renounce the prize. With iron poles. They
• 4:22:19
  Speaker 2: heave her off the shores and gather from the sea
• 4:22:23
  Speaker 2: their floating oars. The crew of Monesthus, with elated minds
• 4:22:29
  Speaker 2: urge their success and call the willing winds. Then ply
• 4:22:33
  Speaker 2: their oars and cut their liquid way in large compass
• 4:22:36
  Speaker 2: on the roomy sea. As when the dove her rocky
• 4:22:40
  Speaker 2: hole forsakes rous'd in a fright, her sounding rings, she
• 4:22:45
  Speaker 2: seks the cavern rings with clattering out she flies and
• 4:22:49
  Speaker 2: leaves her callow care and cleaves the skies. At first
• 4:22:54
  Speaker 2: she flutters, but at length she springs to smooth flight
• 4:22:58
  Speaker 2: and shoots upon her wings. So Menestheus in the dolphin
• 4:23:03
  Speaker 2: cuts the sea, and flying with a force, that force
• 4:23:06
  Speaker 2: assists his way. Sir Justus in the centaur, soon he
• 4:23:11
  Speaker 2: pass'd wedg'd in the rocky shoals, and sticking fast in
• 4:23:16
  Speaker 2: vain the victor he with cries, implores and practices to
• 4:23:20
  Speaker 2: row with shatter'd oars. Then Minestus bears with Gaius and
• 4:23:25
  Speaker 2: outflies the ship without a pilot, yields the prize. Unvanquish'd
• 4:23:31
  Speaker 2: Scylla now alone remains her. He pursues, and all his
• 4:23:35
  Speaker 2: vigor strain shouts from the fav'ring multitude arise, applauding echo
• 4:23:43
  Speaker 2: to thee shouts replies, shouts, wishes and applause run rattling
• 4:23:49
  Speaker 2: through the skies. These clamors with disdain. The scillah herd
• 4:23:54
  Speaker 2: much grudg'd the praise, but more the robb'd reward resolv'd
• 4:23:59
  Speaker 2: to hold them, They mend their pace, all obstinate to
• 4:24:03
  Speaker 2: die or gain. The race rais'd with success. The dolphins
• 4:24:08
  Speaker 2: swiftly ran, for they can conquer. Who believe they can
• 4:24:13
  Speaker 2: both urge their oars and fortune both supplies, and both
• 4:24:18
  Speaker 2: perhaps had shar'd an equal prize. When to the seas,
• 4:24:22
  Speaker 2: Cloanthus holds his hands and succor from the water'ry power's demand,
• 4:24:28
  Speaker 2: Gods of the liquid realms on which I row, if
• 4:24:32
  Speaker 2: given by you the laurel bind my brow the cist
• 4:24:37
  Speaker 2: to make me guilty of my vow, A snow white
• 4:24:41
  Speaker 2: bull shall on your shore be slain. His offer'd entrails
• 4:24:47
  Speaker 2: cast into the main, and ruddy wine from golden goblets
• 4:24:51
  Speaker 2: thrown your grateful gift, and my return shall own the
• 4:24:56
  Speaker 2: choir of nymphs and forcus from below with virgin Panopia
• 4:25:02
  Speaker 2: heard this vow, and Old Portunus, with his breadth of hand,
• 4:25:07
  Speaker 2: push'd on and sped the galley to the land. Swift
• 4:25:12
  Speaker 2: as a shaft or winged wing, she flies, and, darting
• 4:25:17
  Speaker 2: to the port, obtains the prize. The herald summons all
• 4:25:24
  Speaker 2: and then proclaims Cloanthus conqueror of the naval games. The
• 4:25:31
  Speaker 2: prince with laurel, crowns the victor's head, and three fat
• 4:25:36
  Speaker 2: steers are to his vessel led the ship's reward with
• 4:25:40
  Speaker 2: generous wine beside, and sums of silver, which the crew divide.
• 4:25:44
  Speaker 2: The leaders are distinguish'd from the rest. The victor honor'd
• 4:25:49
  Speaker 2: with a nobler vest, where gold and purple strive, and
• 4:25:52
  Speaker 2: equal rows and needlework its happy cost bestows there Ganymede
• 4:25:59
  Speaker 2: is wrought with living art. Chasing through Ida's groves, the
• 4:26:04
  Speaker 2: trembling heart breathless, he seems yet eager to pursue, when
• 4:26:09
  Speaker 2: from aloft descends in open view the bird of Jove,
• 4:26:14
  Speaker 2: and sousing on his prey with crooked talons, bears the
• 4:26:18
  Speaker 2: boy away in vain with lifted hands and gazing eyes.
• 4:26:24
  Speaker 2: His guards behold him soaring through the skies, and dogs
• 4:26:28
  Speaker 2: pursue his flight with imitated cry. Menestheus, the second victor,
• 4:26:35
  Speaker 2: was declar'd and summon there the second prize. He shar'd
• 4:26:39
  Speaker 2: a coat of mail, which Grave Demolius bore more brave
• 4:26:43
  Speaker 2: Naeus from his shoulders, tore by in single combat on
• 4:26:48
  Speaker 2: the Trojan shore. This was ordain'd for Menestus to possess
• 4:26:54
  Speaker 2: in war for his defense, for ornament in peace. Rich
• 4:26:59
  Speaker 2: was the ift and glorious to behold, but yet so ponderous,
• 4:27:03
  Speaker 2: with its plates of gold, that scarce to servants could
• 4:27:07
  Speaker 2: the weight sustain yet loaded, Thus Demolius or the plane
• 4:27:12
  Speaker 2: pursued and lightly seized the Trojan train. The third, succeeding
• 4:27:18
  Speaker 2: to the last, reward two goodly bowls of massy silver,
• 4:27:22
  Speaker 2: shared with figures prominent and richly wrought, and two brass
• 4:27:27
  Speaker 2: cauldrons from Dodona brought thus all rewarded by the hero's hands,
• 4:27:34
  Speaker 2: their conquering temples bound with purple bands. And now Sir Justus,
• 4:27:40
  Speaker 2: clearing from the rock, brought back his galley shattered with
• 4:27:44
  Speaker 2: the shock for lawn. She looked without an aiding owe,
• 4:27:48
  Speaker 2: and hooted by the vulgar made to shore, as when
• 4:27:52
  Speaker 2: a snake surprised upon the roads, crushed a water body
• 4:27:56
  Speaker 2: by the load of heavy wheels, or with a mortal
• 4:27:59
  Speaker 2: wood wound, her belly bruised and trodden to the ground.
• 4:28:03
  Speaker 2: In vain, with loosened curls, she crawls along, yet fierce above,
• 4:28:08
  Speaker 2: she brandishes her tongue, glares with her eyes, and bristles
• 4:28:13
  Speaker 2: with her scales, but groveling in the dust, her parts unsound.
• 4:28:18
  Speaker 2: She trailed so slowly to the port. The Sanawa stands.
• 4:28:25
  Speaker 2: But what she wants in oars with sails, and ends
• 4:28:30
  Speaker 2: yet for his galley. Save the grateful prince is pleas'd
• 4:28:35
  Speaker 2: the unhappy chief to recompense Flolo, the Cretian slave rewards
• 4:28:41
  Speaker 2: his care, beauteous herself with lovely twins as fair. From
• 4:28:48
  Speaker 2: thence his way, the Trojan hero bent into the neighboring
• 4:28:52
  Speaker 2: plain with mountains pent whose sides were shaded with surrounding wood.
• 4:29:00
  Speaker 2: In the midst of this fair valley stood a native theater, which,
• 4:29:05
  Speaker 2: rising slow by just degrees, overlooked the ground below. I
• 4:29:10
  Speaker 2: On a Sylvan throne, the leader sate. A numerous train
• 4:29:15
  Speaker 2: attend in solemn state. Here, those that in the rapid
• 4:29:20
  Speaker 2: course delight, desire of honor and the prize invite the
• 4:29:25
  Speaker 2: rival runners without order stand the Trojans, mixed with the
• 4:29:30
  Speaker 2: Sicilian band. First Nisus with Euryalus appears Euryalus, a boy
• 4:29:38
  Speaker 2: of blooming years with sprightly grace and equal beauty. Crown
• 4:29:44
  Speaker 2: Nisus for friendship to the youth, renowned dioras next of
• 4:29:49
  Speaker 2: Priam's royal race. Then Salius, joined with Patron, took their place.
• 4:29:56
  Speaker 2: But Patron in Arcadia had his birth and Salius his
• 4:30:01
  Speaker 2: from Arcananian earth. When two Sicilian youths, the names of
• 4:30:06
  Speaker 2: those swift Helymus and lovely Panopez, both jolly huntsmen, both
• 4:30:11
  Speaker 2: in forest, bread and owning all accesses for the head,
• 4:30:15
  Speaker 2: and several others of ignobler name, whom time has not
• 4:30:20
  Speaker 2: delivered or to fame to these. The hero thus his
• 4:30:24
  Speaker 2: thoughts explain in words with general approbation gain one common
• 4:30:29
  Speaker 2: largess is for all design'd the vanquished and the victor
• 4:30:33
  Speaker 2: shall be join'd. Two darts of polished steel and Gnosian wood,
• 4:30:39
  Speaker 2: a silver studded ax alike bestow'd. The foremost three have
• 4:30:44
  Speaker 2: olive wreaths decreed. The first of these obtains a stately
• 4:30:49
  Speaker 2: steed adorn'd with trappings, and the next in fame the
• 4:30:53
  Speaker 2: quiver of an Amazonian dame with feathered Thracian arrows well supplied.
• 4:31:00
  Speaker 2: A golden belt shall gird his manly side, which with
• 4:31:04
  Speaker 2: the sparkling diamond shall be tied. The third, this Grecian
• 4:31:09
  Speaker 2: helmet shall content. He said to their appointed base. They
• 4:31:14
  Speaker 2: went with beating hearts, the expected sign receiv'd, and starting
• 4:31:18
  Speaker 2: all at once the barrier leave spread out as on
• 4:31:23
  Speaker 2: the winged wines. They flew and seized the distant gold,
• 4:31:27
  Speaker 2: with greedy view. Shot from the crowd, swift, nicest all
• 4:31:33
  Speaker 2: or past, nor storms nor thunder equal half his haste.
• 4:31:39
  Speaker 2: The next, but though the next yet far disjoin'd, came
• 4:31:44
  Speaker 2: Salius and Euryalus behind. Then Helymus, who young Diorus plied
• 4:31:51
  Speaker 2: step after step, and almost side by side, his shoulders pressing,
• 4:31:58
  Speaker 2: and in longer space, had won or left at least
• 4:32:03
  Speaker 2: a dubious race. Now spent the gold they almost reach
• 4:32:09
  Speaker 2: at last, when eager Nisus, hapless in his haste, slipp'd first,
• 4:32:14
  Speaker 2: and slipping fell upon the plain, soak'd with the blood
• 4:32:19
  Speaker 2: of Oxen, newly slain. The careless victor had not marked
• 4:32:24
  Speaker 2: his way, but treading where the treacherous puddle lay, his
• 4:32:28
  Speaker 2: heels flew up, and on the grassy floor he fell,
• 4:32:32
  Speaker 2: besmear'd with filth and holy gold. Not mindless then Euryalus
• 4:32:38
  Speaker 2: of thee nor of the sacred bonds of Amatee. He
• 4:32:42
  Speaker 2: strove the immediate rivals, hope to cross, and caught the
• 4:32:47
  Speaker 2: foot of Salius as he rose. So Salius lay extended
• 4:32:51
  Speaker 2: on the plain. Euryalus springs out the prize to gain
• 4:32:57
  Speaker 2: and leaves the crowd lauding peals attend the victor to
• 4:33:02
  Speaker 2: his goal, who vanquish'd by his friend. Next Helimus, then
• 4:33:09
  Speaker 2: Diuras came by two misfortunes, made the third in fame.
• 4:33:16
  Speaker 2: But Salius enters, and exclaiming loud for justice, deafens and
• 4:33:21
  Speaker 2: disturbs the crowd. Urges his cause, may in the court
• 4:33:25
  Speaker 2: be heard, and pleads the prize is wrongfully conferred, But
• 4:33:30
  Speaker 2: favor for Euryalius appears. His blooming beauty, with his tender years,
• 4:33:35
  Speaker 2: had bribed the judges for the promised prize. Besides, Diores
• 4:33:41
  Speaker 2: fills the court with cries, who vainly reaches at the
• 4:33:44
  Speaker 2: last reward. If the first palm on Salius be conferred,
• 4:33:49
  Speaker 2: and thus the prince let no disputes arise where fortune
• 4:33:53
  Speaker 2: placed it, I award the prize. But fortune's errors give
• 4:33:58
  Speaker 2: me leave to men, and at least to pity my
• 4:34:02
  Speaker 2: deserving friend, he said, And from among the spoils he
• 4:34:05
  Speaker 2: draws pond'rous with shaggy mane and golden paws, a lion's
• 4:34:10
  Speaker 2: hide to Salius. This he gives Nisus with envy, sees
• 4:34:15
  Speaker 2: the gift and grieves if such rewards to vanquish'd men
• 4:34:20
  Speaker 2: are due, he said, and falling is to rise by you?
• 4:34:24
  Speaker 2: What prize? May Nisus from your bounty claim who merited
• 4:34:28
  Speaker 2: first rewards and fame in falling both an equal fortune? Tried,
• 4:34:33
  Speaker 2: would fortune for my fall? So well? Provide with this?
• 4:34:39
  Speaker 2: He pointed to his face and show'd his hand in
• 4:34:42
  Speaker 2: all his habits smear'd with blood. The indulgent father of
• 4:34:46
  Speaker 2: the people smil'd and caus'd to be produc'd an ample
• 4:34:49
  Speaker 2: shields of wondrous art. But yet he may unwroughts. Long
• 4:34:54
  Speaker 2: since from Neptune's bars in triumph brought this given to Mesus.
• 4:35:01
  Speaker 2: He divides the rest and equal justice in his gifts,
• 4:35:06
  Speaker 2: express'd the race thus ended, and rewards bestow'd once more,
• 4:35:12
  Speaker 2: The Prince bespeaks the attentive crowd. If there be here
• 4:35:16
  Speaker 2: whose dauntless courage dare in gauntlet fight with limbs and
• 4:35:20
  Speaker 2: body bear his opposite sustain in open view. Stand forth,
• 4:35:25
  Speaker 2: the champion and the games renew two prizes. I propose
• 4:35:29
  Speaker 2: and thus divide a bull with gilded horns and filets.
• 4:35:34
  Speaker 2: Tide shall be the portion of the conquering chief. A
• 4:35:38
  Speaker 2: sword and helm shall cheer the loser's grief. Then haughty
• 4:35:43
  Speaker 2: Davs in the lists appears, stalking his strides, his head erected, bears,
• 4:35:51
  Speaker 2: his nervous arms, the weighty gauntlet wield, and loud applauses
• 4:35:56
  Speaker 2: echo through the field. Dares, alone in combat, used to
• 4:36:01
  Speaker 2: stand the match of mighty Paris hand to hand. The
• 4:36:05
  Speaker 2: same at Hector's Sunerals undertook gigantic boutz of the Amsian stock,
• 4:36:12
  Speaker 2: and by the stroke of his resistless hand, stretch'd the
• 4:36:16
  Speaker 2: vast bulk upon the yellow sand. Such Dares was, and
• 4:36:21
  Speaker 2: such he strode along and drew the wonder of the
• 4:36:25
  Speaker 2: gazing throng his brawny back and ample breast. He shows
• 4:36:30
  Speaker 2: his lifted arms around his head. He throws and deals
• 4:36:35
  Speaker 2: in whistling air, his empty blows. His match is sought,
• 4:36:39
  Speaker 2: But through the trembling band not one dares answer to
• 4:36:43
  Speaker 2: the proud demand. Presuming of his force with sparkling eyes,
• 4:36:50
  Speaker 2: already he devours the promised prize. He claims the bull
• 4:36:55
  Speaker 2: with awless insolence, and having seized his horns, accosts the prince.
• 4:37:03
  Speaker 2: If none my matchless valor dares appose, how long shall
• 4:37:07
  Speaker 2: dares wait his dastard foes, Permit me, Chief, permit without
• 4:37:13
  Speaker 2: delay to lead this uncontested gift away. The crowd assents,
• 4:37:19
  Speaker 2: and with redoubled cries for the proud challenger demands the prize.
• 4:37:26
  Speaker 2: End of Book five Part one, Book five Games and
• 4:37:33
  Speaker 2: a Conflagration Part two assestes fired with just disdain to
• 4:37:42
  Speaker 2: see the palm usurp'd without a victory, reproach'd, and tell us, thus,
• 4:37:48
  Speaker 2: who sate beside and heard and saw unmov'd the Trojan's
• 4:37:53
  Speaker 2: pride once but in vain a champion of renown, So
• 4:37:59
  Speaker 2: tamely can you bear the ravish'd crown, a prize in
• 4:38:04
  Speaker 2: triumph born before your sight? And shun for fear the
• 4:38:09
  Speaker 2: danger of the fight. Where is our ricks now the
• 4:38:15
  Speaker 2: boasted name, the god who taught your thundering arm the game?
• 4:38:21
  Speaker 2: Where now your baffl'd honor? Where the spoil that fill'd
• 4:38:26
  Speaker 2: your house and fame that fill'd our isle? And tell us,
• 4:38:31
  Speaker 2: thus my soul is still the same, unmov'd with fear,
• 4:38:36
  Speaker 2: and mov'd with martial fame. But my chilled blood is
• 4:38:41
  Speaker 2: curdl'd in my veins, and scarce the shadow of a
• 4:38:45
  Speaker 2: man remains all. Could I turn to that fair prime again,
• 4:38:51
  Speaker 2: that prime of which this boaster is so vain. The
• 4:38:55
  Speaker 2: brave who this decrepit age defies, should feel my fore
• 4:39:00
  Speaker 2: without the promis'd prize, he said, and rising at the word,
• 4:39:06
  Speaker 2: he threw two pond'rous gauntlets down in open view, gauntlets
• 4:39:11
  Speaker 2: which Irks wont in fight to wield and sheathe his
• 4:39:15
  Speaker 2: hand with. In the listed field, with fear and wonder seiz'd,
• 4:39:21
  Speaker 2: the crowd beholds the gloves of death with seven distinguish'd
• 4:39:26
  Speaker 2: folds of tough bull hides, the space within his spread
• 4:39:31
  Speaker 2: with iron or with loads of heavy lead. Dares himself
• 4:39:36
  Speaker 2: was daunted at the sight, renounc'd his challenge, and refus'd
• 4:39:40
  Speaker 2: to fight. Astonish'd at their weight, the hero stands and
• 4:39:45
  Speaker 2: poise the pond'rous engines in his hands. What had your wonder,
• 4:39:52
  Speaker 2: said Antellus, been, had you the gauntlets of Alcaide's seen
• 4:39:58
  Speaker 2: or view'd the stern debate on this unhappy green, these
• 4:40:03
  Speaker 2: which I bear your brother Erik's swore, still mark'd with
• 4:40:08
  Speaker 2: battered brains and mingl'd gore with these, he long sustain'd
• 4:40:13
  Speaker 2: the herculean arm. And these I wielded while my blood
• 4:40:19
  Speaker 2: was warm, this languag'd frame, while better spirits fed ere
• 4:40:25
  Speaker 2: age unstrung my nerves. Er time o'er snow'd my head.
• 4:40:32
  Speaker 2: But if the challenger these arms refuse and cannot wield
• 4:40:36
  Speaker 2: their weight, or dare not use, if great Annaeus and
• 4:40:40
  Speaker 2: Acestes join in his request these gauntlets, I resign. Let
• 4:40:46
  Speaker 2: us with equal arms perform the fight, and let him
• 4:40:50
  Speaker 2: leave to fare. Since I resign my right, this said,
• 4:40:55
  Speaker 2: and tell us for the strife, prepares, stripp'd of his
• 4:40:59
  Speaker 2: quilted coat. His body bears compos'd of mighty bones and brawn.
• 4:41:05
  Speaker 2: He stands a goodly tow'ring object on the sands. Then
• 4:41:11
  Speaker 2: just Anaeus equal arms suppli'd, which round their shoulders to
• 4:41:16
  Speaker 2: their wrists. They tide both on the tiptoe, stand at
• 4:41:21
  Speaker 2: full extent, their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent their
• 4:41:26
  Speaker 2: heads from aiming blows. They bear afar with clashing gauntlets,
• 4:41:31
  Speaker 2: then provoke the war. One on his youth and pliant limbs, relies,
• 4:41:38
  Speaker 2: one on his sinews and his giant size. The last
• 4:41:43
  Speaker 2: is still with age, his motion slow, he heaves for breath.
• 4:41:49
  Speaker 2: He staggers to and fro, and clouds of issuing smoke.
• 4:41:54
  Speaker 2: His nostrils loudly blow, yet equal in success they wore
• 4:42:00
  Speaker 2: they strike. Their ways are different, but their art alike.
• 4:42:05
  Speaker 2: Before behind, the blows are dealt around their hollow sides.
• 4:42:10
  Speaker 2: The rattling thumps resound, a storm of strokes well meant
• 4:42:16
  Speaker 2: with fury, flies and errs about their temples, ears and eyes,
• 4:42:23
  Speaker 2: nor always errs for oft. The gauntlet draws a sweeping
• 4:42:29
  Speaker 2: stroke along the crackling jaws heavy with age, and Tellus
• 4:42:34
  Speaker 2: stands his ground, but with his warping body wards the wound,
• 4:42:40
  Speaker 2: his hand and watchful eye keep even pace, while Darres
• 4:42:45
  Speaker 2: traverses and shifts his place, And like a captain who
• 4:42:51
  Speaker 2: beleaguers round some strong built castle on a rising ground,
• 4:42:56
  Speaker 2: views all the approaches with observing eyes, this and that
• 4:43:01
  Speaker 2: other part in vain. He tries, and more on industry
• 4:43:06
  Speaker 2: than force, relies with hands on high, and tell Us
• 4:43:11
  Speaker 2: threats the foe, but dares watch'd the motion from below,
• 4:43:16
  Speaker 2: and slipp'd aside and shunn'd along descending blow, and tell
• 4:43:22
  Speaker 2: Us wastes his forces on the wind, and thus deluded
• 4:43:26
  Speaker 2: of the stroke design'd headlong and heavy fell his ample
• 4:43:30
  Speaker 2: breast and weighty limbs. His ancient mother pres'd, so falls
• 4:43:36
  Speaker 2: a hollow pine that long had stood on Ida's height,
• 4:43:39
  Speaker 2: or ermantus wood torn from the roots. The differing nations
• 4:43:45
  Speaker 2: rise and shouts and mingl'd murmurs rend the skies as
• 4:43:49
  Speaker 2: Cestus runs with eager haste to raise the fallen companion
• 4:43:53
  Speaker 2: of his youthful days. Dauntless he rose and to the fight,
• 4:43:58
  Speaker 2: return'd with shame, his glowing cheeks, his eyes with fury,
• 4:44:03
  Speaker 2: burn'd disdain and conscious virtue fir'd his breast, and with
• 4:44:08
  Speaker 2: redoubl'd force his foe he press'd. He lays on load
• 4:44:13
  Speaker 2: with either hand domain and headlong drives the Trojan o'er
• 4:44:19
  Speaker 2: the plain nor stops, nor stays, nor rest nor breath allows,
• 4:44:25
  Speaker 2: but storm of stroke descend about his brows, a rattling tempest,
• 4:44:31
  Speaker 2: and a hail of flows. But now the prince, who
• 4:44:35
  Speaker 2: saw the wild increase of wounds, commands thee combatants to
• 4:44:40
  Speaker 2: cease and bounds and tell us wrath and bids the
• 4:44:44
  Speaker 2: peace first to the trojan. Spent with toil, he came
• 4:44:49
  Speaker 2: and sooth'd his sorrow for the suffer'd shame what fury
• 4:44:53
  Speaker 2: sees my friend. The gods said he to him, propitious
• 4:44:57
  Speaker 2: and averse to thee, have given his arms superior force
• 4:45:02
  Speaker 2: to die tis madness to contend with strength divine. The
• 4:45:07
  Speaker 2: gauntlet fight thus ended. From the shore. His faithful friend's
• 4:45:12
  Speaker 2: unhappy dares bore his mouth and nostrils pour'd a purple flood,
• 4:45:18
  Speaker 2: and pounded teeth. Came rushing with his blood. Faintly he
• 4:45:22
  Speaker 2: stagger'd through the hissing throng and hung his head and
• 4:45:27
  Speaker 2: trail'd his legs along. The sword and cask are carried
• 4:45:31
  Speaker 2: by his train. But with his foe, the palm and
• 4:45:35
  Speaker 2: ox remain the champion. Then before, Annaeus came proud of
• 4:45:41
  Speaker 2: his prize, but prouder of his fame. O Goddess born,
• 4:45:46
  Speaker 2: and you dardanian host mark with attention, and forgive my boast.
• 4:45:52
  Speaker 2: Learn'd what I was, by what remains, and know from
• 4:45:56
  Speaker 2: what impending fate. You sav'd my foe. Sternly he spoke,
• 4:46:01
  Speaker 2: and then confronts the bull and on his ample forehead,
• 4:46:06
  Speaker 2: aiming full the deadly stroke, descending pierc'd the skull down
• 4:46:12
  Speaker 2: drops the beast nor kneads a second wound, but sprawls
• 4:46:17
  Speaker 2: in pangs of death and spurns the ground. Then, thus,
• 4:46:22
  Speaker 2: in Dara's stead, I offer this, Eriks, accept a noble sacrifice.
• 4:46:29
  Speaker 2: Take the last gift. My weather'd arms can yield thy gauntlets.
• 4:46:34
  Speaker 2: I resign and here renounce the field. This do Anaeus
• 4:46:40
  Speaker 2: orders for the close the strife of archers with contending bows.
• 4:46:45
  Speaker 2: The mast Sir Justus shatter'd gali bore with his own hands.
• 4:46:49
  Speaker 2: He raises on the shore a fluttering dove. Upon the top.
• 4:46:54
  Speaker 2: They tie the living mark at which their arrows fly.
• 4:46:59
  Speaker 2: The rival archers, in a line, advance their turn of
• 4:47:03
  Speaker 2: shooting to receive from chance. A helmet holds their names.
• 4:47:09
  Speaker 2: The lots are drawn on. The first scroll was read
• 4:47:13
  Speaker 2: Hippo cou'an. The people shout upon. The next was found
• 4:47:18
  Speaker 2: young Menestheus, late with naval honors crowned. The third contain
• 4:47:24
  Speaker 2: eurethean's noble name, thy brother Panderus, and next in fame,
• 4:47:31
  Speaker 2: whom Pallas urg'd the treaty to confound and send. Among
• 4:47:35
  Speaker 2: the gifts a feather'd wound Assestes in the bottom. Last
• 4:47:40
  Speaker 2: remain'd whom not his age from youthful sports restrain. Soon
• 4:47:47
  Speaker 2: all with vigor bend their trusty bows, and from the
• 4:47:51
  Speaker 2: quiver each his arrow chose. Hippo Cou'an's was the first.
• 4:47:57
  Speaker 2: With forceful sway it flew and rizzing cut the liquid
• 4:48:01
  Speaker 2: way fix'd in the mast. The feather'd weapon stands. The
• 4:48:08
  Speaker 2: fearful pigeon flutters in her bands, and the tree trembl'd,
• 4:48:13
  Speaker 2: and the shouting cries of the pleas'd people rend the
• 4:48:17
  Speaker 2: vaulted skies. Then Monestus to the head. His arrow drove
• 4:48:23
  Speaker 2: with lifted eyes and took his aim above, but made
• 4:48:27
  Speaker 2: a glancing shot and miss'd the dove, yet miss'd so
• 4:48:30
  Speaker 2: narrow that he cut the cord, which fasten'd by the
• 4:48:33
  Speaker 2: foot the flitting bird. The captive thus released away, she
• 4:48:38
  Speaker 2: flies and beats with clapping wings the yielding skies. His
• 4:48:44
  Speaker 2: bow already bent ereuth the arms stood, and, having first
• 4:48:48
  Speaker 2: invoked his brother God, his winged shaft with eager haste,
• 4:48:52
  Speaker 2: he sped the fatal message reach'd her. As she fled.
• 4:48:57
  Speaker 2: She leaves her life aloft. She strikes the ground and
• 4:49:02
  Speaker 2: renders back the weapon in the wound. Acestes, grudging at
• 4:49:07
  Speaker 2: his lot remains without a prize to gratify his pains. Yet,
• 4:49:12
  Speaker 2: shooting upwards, sends his shaft to show an archer's art
• 4:49:17
  Speaker 2: and boast his twanging bow. The feather'd arrow gave a
• 4:49:21
  Speaker 2: dire portent and letter orgers judge from this event, chaf'd
• 4:49:28
  Speaker 2: by the speed it fir'd, and as it flew a
• 4:49:31
  Speaker 2: trail of following flames ascending drew kindling. They mount and
• 4:49:37
  Speaker 2: mark the shiny way across the skies as falling meteor's play,
• 4:49:42
  Speaker 2: and vanish into wind 'er in a blaze decay. The
• 4:49:46
  Speaker 2: Trojans and Sicilians wildly stare and trembling, turn'd their wonder
• 4:49:52
  Speaker 2: into prayer. The Dardan prince put on a smiling face
• 4:49:57
  Speaker 2: and strain'd acestes with a cloa embrace, then honoring him
• 4:50:02
  Speaker 2: with gifts above the rest, turn'd the bad omen nor
• 4:50:06
  Speaker 2: his fears confess'd, the gods said he this miracle have
• 4:50:11
  Speaker 2: wrought and order'd you the prize without the lot, except
• 4:50:16
  Speaker 2: this goblet rough with figur'd gold, which Thracian Sissius gave
• 4:50:22
  Speaker 2: my sire of old, this pledge of ancient amity receive,
• 4:50:27
  Speaker 2: which to my second sire I justly give, he said,
• 4:50:32
  Speaker 2: and with the trumpet's cheerful sound, proclaim'd him victor. And
• 4:50:37
  Speaker 2: with laurel crown nor good eritheon envied him the prize.
• 4:50:45
  Speaker 2: Though he transfix'd. The pigeon in the sky, who cut
• 4:50:49
  Speaker 2: the line with second gifts, was graced. The third was his,
• 4:50:54
  Speaker 2: whose arrow pierc'd the mast. The chief, before the games
• 4:51:00
  Speaker 2: were wholly done, call Parifhantes tutor to his son, and
• 4:51:05
  Speaker 2: whisper'd thus with speed, ascanius find and if his childish
• 4:51:11
  Speaker 2: troop be ready join'd on horseback, let him grace his
• 4:51:15
  Speaker 2: grandsire's day, and lead his equals arm'd in just array,
• 4:51:22
  Speaker 2: he said, and calling out the sirk, he clears the
• 4:51:26
  Speaker 2: crowd withdrawn. An open plane appears, And now the noble
• 4:51:31
  Speaker 2: youths of form divine, advanced before their fathers, in alive,
• 4:51:37
  Speaker 2: the riders grace the steeds. The steeds with glory shine,
• 4:51:42
  Speaker 2: thus marching on in military pride. Shouts of applause resound
• 4:51:48
  Speaker 2: from side to side. Their casks adorn'd with laurel wreaths
• 4:51:52
  Speaker 2: they wear, each brandishing aloft a cornell's spear, some at
• 4:51:58
  Speaker 2: their backs. Their gilded quivers bore their chains of burnish
• 4:52:03
  Speaker 2: gold hung down before three graceful troops. They form'd upon
• 4:52:09
  Speaker 2: the green. Three graceful leaders at their head were seen.
• 4:52:14
  Speaker 2: Twelve followed every chief, and left a space between. The
• 4:52:18
  Speaker 2: first young priam led a lovely boy whose grandsire was
• 4:52:22
  Speaker 2: the unhappy King of Troy. His race in after times
• 4:52:27
  Speaker 2: was known to fame new honors, adding to the Latzian
• 4:52:31
  Speaker 2: name and well the royal boy his Thracian steed became white,
• 4:52:37
  Speaker 2: with the fetlocks of his feet before and on his
• 4:52:41
  Speaker 2: front a snowy star. He bore then beauteous attis with
• 4:52:47
  Speaker 2: eulus bread of equal age. The second squadron led the
• 4:52:54
  Speaker 2: last in order, but the first in place. First in
• 4:52:58
  Speaker 2: the lovely features of his face, rode fair Ascanius, on
• 4:53:03
  Speaker 2: a fiery steed. Queen Dido's gift and of the Tyrenean breed,
• 4:53:10
  Speaker 2: sure courses for the rest. The king ordains with golden
• 4:53:15
  Speaker 2: bits adorned and purple reigns. The pleased spectators peals of
• 4:53:21
  Speaker 2: shouts renew, and all the parents in the children view
• 4:53:27
  Speaker 2: them make their motions and their sprightly grace and hopes
• 4:53:33
  Speaker 2: and fears alternate in their face. The unfledged commanders and
• 4:53:40
  Speaker 2: their martial train first make the circuit of the sandy
• 4:53:44
  Speaker 2: plain around their sires, and at the appointed sign drawn
• 4:53:50
  Speaker 2: up in beauteous order, form a line. The second signal sounds,
• 4:53:56
  Speaker 2: the troop divides in three distinguished parts with three distinct
• 4:54:00
  Speaker 2: wish'd guides. Again they close and once again disjoin in
• 4:54:05
  Speaker 2: troop to troop, oppos'd, and line to line they meet.
• 4:54:09
  Speaker 2: They wheel, they throw their dots afar with harmless rage,
• 4:54:13
  Speaker 2: and well dissemble's war. Then in a round the mingled
• 4:54:17
  Speaker 2: bodies run, flying, they follow and pursuing shun broken, they break,
• 4:54:24
  Speaker 2: and rallying they renew in other forms the military shoe.
• 4:54:29
  Speaker 2: At last, in order undiscern'd, they sjoin and march together
• 4:54:34
  Speaker 2: in a friendly line, and as the Cretan labyrinth of old,
• 4:54:39
  Speaker 2: with wandering ways in many a winding fold, involv'd the
• 4:54:44
  Speaker 2: weary feet without redress in a round error which denied recess,
• 4:54:50
  Speaker 2: so fought the trojan boys in warlike play turn'd and
• 4:54:54
  Speaker 2: return'd and still a different way. Thus, dolphins in the
• 4:55:00
  Speaker 2: deep each other chase in circles when they swim around
• 4:55:04
  Speaker 2: the watery race this game. These carousels a scanius taut
• 4:55:09
  Speaker 2: and building Alba to the Latins, brought show'd what he
• 4:55:14
  Speaker 2: learn'd the Latin sires impart to their succeeding sons. The
• 4:55:18
  Speaker 2: graceful art from these imperial Rome receiv'd the game which
• 4:55:24
  Speaker 2: troy the youths the Trojan troop. They name thus far
• 4:55:29
  Speaker 2: the sacred sports they celebrate. But fortune soon resum'd her
• 4:55:34
  Speaker 2: ancient hate, for while they pay their debt, his annual
• 4:55:38
  Speaker 2: dues those envied rite. Saturnian Juno views and sends the
• 4:55:45
  Speaker 2: goddess of the various bou to try new methods of revenge. Below,
• 4:55:52
  Speaker 2: supplies the winds to wing her airy way, where in
• 4:55:56
  Speaker 2: the ports secure the navy lay swiftly fair iris down,
• 4:56:03
  Speaker 2: her arch descends, and undiscern'd her fatal voyage ends. She
• 4:56:11
  Speaker 2: saw the gathering crowd and gliding thence the desert shore
• 4:56:16
  Speaker 2: and fleet without defense. The Trojan matrons on the sands
• 4:56:21
  Speaker 2: alone with sighs and tears an Chizi's death Bemoan, then
• 4:56:28
  Speaker 2: turning to thas sea their weeping eyes, their pity to
• 4:56:31
  Speaker 2: themselves renews their cries. Alas said one, what oceans yet
• 4:56:38
  Speaker 2: remain for us to sail? What labors to sustain? All
• 4:56:43
  Speaker 2: take the word, and with a general groan, implore the
• 4:56:47
  Speaker 2: gods for peace and places of their own. The Goddess
• 4:56:53
  Speaker 2: greater in mischief, views their pains, and in a woman's form,
• 4:56:57
  Speaker 2: her heav'nly limbs restrain ends in face and shape, old Barrowe,
• 4:57:04
  Speaker 2: she becomes Doriclus's wife, a venerable dame, once bless'd with
• 4:57:11
  Speaker 2: riches and her mother's name. Thus chang'd amidst the crying crowd,
• 4:57:16
  Speaker 2: she ran mix'd with the matrons, and these words began,
• 4:57:22
  Speaker 2: Oh wretched we whom not the Grecian power nor flames
• 4:57:26
  Speaker 2: destroy'd in Troy's unhappy hour, Oh wretched we reserv'd by
• 4:57:32
  Speaker 2: cruel fate beyond the ruins of the sinking state. Now
• 4:57:37
  Speaker 2: seven revolving years are holy run. Since this improsperous voyage
• 4:57:42
  Speaker 2: we begun, since toss'd from shores to shores, from lands
• 4:57:47
  Speaker 2: to land's inhospitable rocks and barren sands. Wandering in exile
• 4:57:53
  Speaker 2: through the stormy sea, we search in vain for flying Italy,
• 4:57:59
  Speaker 2: now cast by fortune on this kindred land. What should
• 4:58:03
  Speaker 2: our arrest and rising walls withstand or hinder here to
• 4:58:08
  Speaker 2: fix our banish'd band o country lost and gods redeem'd
• 4:58:13
  Speaker 2: in vain. If still in endless exile, we remain, shall
• 4:58:18
  Speaker 2: we o more? The Trojan walls renew or streams of
• 4:58:23
  Speaker 2: some dissembl'd simoius view, Haste join with me the unhappy
• 4:58:28
  Speaker 2: flight consume. Cassandra bids, and I declare her doom. In
• 4:58:35
  Speaker 2: sleep I saw her. She suppli'd my hands for this
• 4:58:40
  Speaker 2: I more than dreamt, with flaming brands. With these, said she,
• 4:58:46
  Speaker 2: these wandering ships destroy. These are your fatal seats, and
• 4:58:52
  Speaker 2: this your troy. Time calls you now, the precious our
• 4:58:58
  Speaker 2: employ slack not the good presage. While Heaven inspires our
• 4:59:03
  Speaker 2: minds to dare, and gives the ready fires see Neptune's
• 4:59:09
  Speaker 2: altars minister their brands. The god is pleas'd. The God
• 4:59:13
  Speaker 2: supplies our hands. And from the pile a flaming fire
• 4:59:18
  Speaker 2: she drew and toss'd in air amidst the galleys through
• 4:59:24
  Speaker 2: rapt in amaze. The matrons wildly stare. Then Prigo reverence
• 4:59:30
  Speaker 2: for her hoary hair. Prigo, the nurse of Priam's numerous race.
• 4:59:36
  Speaker 2: No beroe this, though she belies her face, what terrors
• 4:59:43
  Speaker 2: from her frowning front arise. Behold a goddess in her
• 4:59:48
  Speaker 2: ardent eyes, what rays around her heav'nly face are seen,
• 4:59:54
  Speaker 2: mark her majestic voice, and more than mortal mean berowe.
• 4:59:59
  Speaker 2: But now I left whom pin'd with pain, her age
• 5:00:04
  Speaker 2: and anguish from these rites detain'd, she said. The matrons
• 5:00:10
  Speaker 2: seiz'd with new amaze, roll their malignant eyes, and on
• 5:00:14
  Speaker 2: the navy gaze they fear and hope, and neither part obey.
• 5:00:19
  Speaker 2: They hope the fated land, but fear the fatal way.
• 5:00:24
  Speaker 2: The Goddess, having done her task below, mounts up on
• 5:00:27
  Speaker 2: equal wings and bends the painted bow. Struck with the sight,
• 5:00:32
  Speaker 2: and seiz'd with rage divine, the matrons prosecute their mad design.
• 5:00:37
  Speaker 2: They shriek aloud. They snatch with impious hands the food
• 5:00:42
  Speaker 2: of altars, fires and flaming brands, green boughs and saplings,
• 5:00:48
  Speaker 2: mingl'd in their haste, and smoking torches on the ships.
• 5:00:52
  Speaker 2: They cast the flame unstopp'd at first, more fury gains
• 5:00:59
  Speaker 2: and Vulcan rides at large with loosen'd reins, triumphant to
• 5:01:04
  Speaker 2: the painted sterns. He soars and seizes in this way
• 5:01:09
  Speaker 2: the banks and crackling oars. You malice was the first
• 5:01:14
  Speaker 2: the news to bear, while yet they crowd the rural theater.
• 5:01:18
  Speaker 2: Then what they hear is witness'd by their eyes. A
• 5:01:22
  Speaker 2: storm of sparkles and of flames arise. Ascanius took the alarm,
• 5:01:28
  Speaker 2: while yet he let his early warriors on his prancing steed,
• 5:01:33
  Speaker 2: and spurring on his equals. Soon o'erpast, nor could his
• 5:01:39
  Speaker 2: frighted friends reclaim his haste. Soon as the royal youth
• 5:01:44
  Speaker 2: appear'd in view, he sent his voice before him, as
• 5:01:48
  Speaker 2: he flew, what madness moves you, matrons, to destroy the
• 5:01:52
  Speaker 2: last remainders of unhappy troy, not hostile fleets, but your
• 5:01:57
  Speaker 2: own hopes you burn, and on your friends your fatal
• 5:02:02
  Speaker 2: fury turn behold your own Ascanius. While he said, he
• 5:02:07
  Speaker 2: drew his glittering helmet from his head, in which the
• 5:02:10
  Speaker 2: youths to sportful arms. He led. By this, Annaeus and
• 5:02:14
  Speaker 2: his train appear. And now the women, seiz'd with shame
• 5:02:18
  Speaker 2: and fear, dispers'd to woods and cavern take their flight,
• 5:02:22
  Speaker 2: abhor their actions and avoid the light. Their friends acknowledge
• 5:02:28
  Speaker 2: and their error, find and shake the goddess from their
• 5:02:32
  Speaker 2: alter'd mind. Not so the raging fires their fury cease,
• 5:02:36
  Speaker 2: but lurking in the scenes with seeming peace, work on
• 5:02:40
  Speaker 2: their way amidst the smoldering toe, sure in destruction, but
• 5:02:44
  Speaker 2: in motion slow the silent plague through the green timber
• 5:02:49
  Speaker 2: eats and vomits out a tardy flame by fits down
• 5:02:53
  Speaker 2: to the keels and upward to the sails. The fire
• 5:02:56
  Speaker 2: descends or mounts, but still prevails. Buckets pour'd. Nor strength
• 5:03:01
  Speaker 2: of human hand can the victorious element withstand. The pious
• 5:03:07
  Speaker 2: hero rends his robe and throws to heavens his hand
• 5:03:11
  Speaker 2: and with his friends his vows. O jove, he cried,
• 5:03:15
  Speaker 2: If prayers can yet have place, if thou abhorest not
• 5:03:19
  Speaker 2: all the Dardan race, if any spark of pity still remain,
• 5:03:25
  Speaker 2: if gods are gods and not invoked in vain, Yet
• 5:03:29
  Speaker 2: spare the relics of the trojan train, yet from the
• 5:03:33
  Speaker 2: flames our burning vessels free, Or let thy fury fall
• 5:03:39
  Speaker 2: alone on me at this devoted head, thy thunder throw,
• 5:03:44
  Speaker 2: and send thou willing sacrifice below scarce had he said.
• 5:03:50
  Speaker 2: When southern storms arise from pole to pole, the forky
• 5:03:54
  Speaker 2: lightning flies, loud rattling shakes the mountains, and the place
• 5:04:00
  Speaker 2: heaven bellies downward and descends in rain hold sheets of
• 5:04:05
  Speaker 2: water from the clouds are sent, which, hissing through the planks,
• 5:04:09
  Speaker 2: the flames prevent and stop the fiery pest. Four ships
• 5:04:14
  Speaker 2: alone burnt to the waist, and for the fleet atone,
• 5:04:21
  Speaker 2: but doubtful thoughts the hero's heart divide if he should
• 5:04:25
  Speaker 2: still in sicily reside, forgetful of his fates, or tempt
• 5:04:31
  Speaker 2: the main in hope the promis'd italy to gain then
• 5:04:35
  Speaker 2: nautes old and wise, to whom alone the will of
• 5:04:40
  Speaker 2: heaven by Pallace was foreshown first importance, experienced and inspired
• 5:04:46
  Speaker 2: to tell events and what the fates requir'd. Thus, while
• 5:04:50
  Speaker 2: he stood to neither part, inclin'd with cheerful words, reliev'd
• 5:04:55
  Speaker 2: his lab'ring mind O goddess born, resign'd in every state
• 5:05:01
  Speaker 2: with patience, Bear with prudence, Push your fate by suffering
• 5:05:06
  Speaker 2: well our fortune we subdue. Fly when she frowns, and
• 5:05:10
  Speaker 2: when she calls, pursue your friend Acestes is of trojan kind.
• 5:05:16
  Speaker 2: To him, disclose the secrets of your mind. Trust in
• 5:05:21
  Speaker 2: his hands your old and useless train to numerous for
• 5:05:25
  Speaker 2: the ships which yet remain the feeble old indulgent of
• 5:05:29
  Speaker 2: their ease, the dames who dread the dangers of the seas,
• 5:05:34
  Speaker 2: with all the dastard crew who dare not stand the
• 5:05:37
  Speaker 2: shock of battle with your foes. By land here you
• 5:05:42
  Speaker 2: may build a common town for all. And from acestes
• 5:05:46
  Speaker 2: name ASSESSTA call the reasons. With his friend's experience, join'd
• 5:05:52
  Speaker 2: encourage much, but more disturb'd his mind twas dead of night,
• 5:05:58
  Speaker 2: when to his slumbering eye, his father's shade descendeth from
• 5:06:03
  Speaker 2: the skies. And thus he spoke, O more than vital breath,
• 5:06:08
  Speaker 2: lov't while I liv'd and dear ev'n after death, O son,
• 5:06:13
  Speaker 2: in various toils and troubles toss'd. The king of Heav'n
• 5:06:17
  Speaker 2: employs my careful ghost on his command, the god who
• 5:06:22
  Speaker 2: sav'd from fire your flaming fleet and herd your just desire.
• 5:06:27
  Speaker 2: The wholesome counsel of your friend receive and hear the
• 5:06:31
  Speaker 2: coward train and women leave. The chosen youth, and those
• 5:06:36
  Speaker 2: who nobly dare transport to tempt the dangers of the war.
• 5:06:42
  Speaker 2: The stern Italians will their courage try, rough are their
• 5:06:47
  Speaker 2: manners and their minds are high. But first to Pluto's
• 5:06:52
  Speaker 2: palace you shall go and seek my shade among the
• 5:06:56
  Speaker 2: bles'd below, For not with impious ghosts my soul remains,
• 5:07:03
  Speaker 2: nor suffer'd with the damn'd perpetual pains. But breathe the
• 5:07:07
  Speaker 2: living air of soft Elisian plains. Thou chaste sabillah, shall
• 5:07:14
  Speaker 2: your steps convey and blood of offer'd victims free the
• 5:07:19
  Speaker 2: way there? Shall you know what realms the gods assign,
• 5:07:23
  Speaker 2: and learn the fates and fortunes of your line. But
• 5:07:28
  Speaker 2: now farewell. I vanish with the night and feel the
• 5:07:32
  Speaker 2: blast of Heav'n's approaching light, he said, and mix'd with
• 5:07:38
  Speaker 2: shades and took his eerie flight whither so fast the
• 5:07:42
  Speaker 2: filial duty cried, And why, ah, why the wish't embrace deny',
• 5:07:50
  Speaker 2: he said, and rose as holy zeal spires. He rakes
• 5:07:54
  Speaker 2: hot embers and renews the fires his country. Gods and
• 5:07:59
  Speaker 2: Vesta then doors with cakes and incense, and their aid implores.
• 5:08:06
  Speaker 2: Next for his friends and royal host, he sent reveal'd
• 5:08:10
  Speaker 2: his vision and the God's intent with his own purpose,
• 5:08:15
  Speaker 2: all without delay. The will of Jove and his desires obey.
• 5:08:20
  Speaker 2: They list with woman, each degenerate name who dares not
• 5:08:24
  Speaker 2: hazard life for future fame. These they cashier the brave
• 5:08:29
  Speaker 2: remaining few oars, banks and cables hath consum'd renew. The
• 5:08:35
  Speaker 2: prince designs a city with the plow the lots their
• 5:08:39
  Speaker 2: several tenements allow. This part is named from Ilium, that
• 5:08:43
  Speaker 2: from Troy, and the new king ascends the throne with joy.
• 5:08:48
  Speaker 2: A chosen senate from the people draws, appoints the judges,
• 5:08:52
  Speaker 2: and ordains the laws. Then on the top of irks
• 5:08:56
  Speaker 2: they begin a rising temple to the Pathian Queen, and
• 5:09:01
  Speaker 2: Chaisi's last is honor'd as a god. A priest is added,
• 5:09:06
  Speaker 2: annual gifts bestow'd, and groves are planted round his blest abode.
• 5:09:13
  Speaker 2: Nine days they pass in feasts, their temples crown'd, and
• 5:09:18
  Speaker 2: fumes of incense in the fanes above. Then from the
• 5:09:24
  Speaker 2: south arose a gentle breeze that curl'd the smoothness of
• 5:09:29
  Speaker 2: the glassy sea. The rising winds are ruffling gale afford
• 5:09:34
  Speaker 2: and call the merried mariners aboard. Now loud laments along
• 5:09:42
  Speaker 2: the shores, resound of parting friends in close embraces, bound
• 5:09:47
  Speaker 2: the trembling women, the degenerate train who shunn'd the frightful
• 5:09:52
  Speaker 2: dangers of the main even those desire to sail and
• 5:09:56
  Speaker 2: take their share of the rough passage and the promis'd war.
• 5:10:00
  Speaker 2: Good Anaeus cheers and recommends to their new master's care
• 5:10:04
  Speaker 2: his fearful friends. On Erik's altars three fat calves, he
• 5:10:10
  Speaker 2: lays a lamb new fallen to the stormy seas, then
• 5:10:16
  Speaker 2: slips his hawses and his anchor's weighs high on the deck.
• 5:10:21
  Speaker 2: The godlike hero stands with olive crown'd a charger in
• 5:10:26
  Speaker 2: his hands. Then cast the reeking entrails in the brine,
• 5:10:31
  Speaker 2: and pour'd the sacrifice of purple wine. Fresh gales arise
• 5:10:36
  Speaker 2: with equal strokes, lay vie and brush'd the buxom seas,
• 5:10:42
  Speaker 2: and o'er the billows fly. Meantime, the mother goddess, full
• 5:10:48
  Speaker 2: of fears to Neptune, thus address'd with tender tears the
• 5:10:53
  Speaker 2: pride of Jove's imperious queen. The rage, the malice, which
• 5:10:57
  Speaker 2: no sufferings can assuage, compel me due to these prayers.
• 5:11:03
  Speaker 2: Since neither fate, nor time nor pity can remove her
• 5:11:07
  Speaker 2: hate in Jove is thwarted by his haughty wife, still vanquish'd,
• 5:11:14
  Speaker 2: yet she renews the strife, as if twere little to
• 5:11:18
  Speaker 2: consume the town which aw'd the world and war th
• 5:11:21
  Speaker 2: imperial crown. She prosecutes the ghost of Troy with pains
• 5:11:26
  Speaker 2: and gnaws even to the bones the last remains. Let
• 5:11:31
  Speaker 2: her the causes of her hatred tell, but you can
• 5:11:35
  Speaker 2: witness its effects too well. You saw the storm she
• 5:11:39
  Speaker 2: rais'd on Libyan floods that mix the mounting billows with
• 5:11:43
  Speaker 2: the clouds. When bribing Aeolus, she shook the main and
• 5:11:48
  Speaker 2: mov'd rebellion in your watery rain. With fury, she possess'd
• 5:11:54
  Speaker 2: the darden Dames to burn their fleet with exorable flames,
• 5:11:59
  Speaker 2: and forced a name when his ships were lost to
• 5:12:02
  Speaker 2: Leaver's followers on a foreign coast. For what remains your Godhead,
• 5:12:08
  Speaker 2: I implore and trust my son to your protecting power.
• 5:12:14
  Speaker 2: If neither Jove nor fates decree withstand secure this passage
• 5:12:20
  Speaker 2: to the Latzian land, then thus, the mighty ruler of
• 5:12:25
  Speaker 2: the Main, what may not venus hope from Neptune's reign.
• 5:12:31
  Speaker 2: My kingdom claims your birth, my late defense of your
• 5:12:35
  Speaker 2: endanger'd fleet may claim your confidence. Nor less by land
• 5:12:40
  Speaker 2: than see my deeds declare how much your love, de
• 5:12:44
  Speaker 2: Naeus is my care. THEE Xanthus and THEE Simos. I
• 5:12:50
  Speaker 2: attest your trojan troops. When proud Achilles press'd and drove
• 5:12:55
  Speaker 2: before him headlong on the plain, and dash'd against the
• 5:13:00
  Speaker 2: walls the trembling train, when floods were fill'd with bodies
• 5:13:05
  Speaker 2: of the slain. When Crimson Xanthus, doubtful of its way,
• 5:13:10
  Speaker 2: stood up on ridges to behold the sea, new heaps
• 5:13:14
  Speaker 2: came tumbling in and chok'd his way. When Euryanaeus fought,
• 5:13:18
  Speaker 2: but fought with odds of force unequal and unequal gods,
• 5:13:23
  Speaker 2: I spread a cloud before the victor's sight, sustain'd the vanquish'd,
• 5:13:29
  Speaker 2: and secur'd his flight. Even then secur'd him. When I
• 5:13:33
  Speaker 2: sought with joy the vowed destruction of ungrateful Troy, my
• 5:13:38
  Speaker 2: will'st the same, Fair Goddess, fear no more. Your fleet
• 5:13:42
  Speaker 2: shall safely gain the Latzian shore. Their lives are given.
• 5:13:47
  Speaker 2: When destined head alone shall perish, and for the multitudes atone. Thus,
• 5:13:53
  Speaker 2: having arm'd with hoax her anxious mind, his finny ten
• 5:13:57
  Speaker 2: Saturnian Neptune join'd, then adds the foeby bridle to their
• 5:14:03
  Speaker 2: jaws and to the loosen'd reins permits the laws. High
• 5:14:08
  Speaker 2: on the waves his azure car, he guides its axels
• 5:14:13
  Speaker 2: thunder and the sea subsides, and the smooth ocean rolls
• 5:14:19
  Speaker 2: her silent tides. The tempests fly before their father's face,
• 5:14:27
  Speaker 2: Trains of inferior gods his triumph, grace and monster wails
• 5:14:33
  Speaker 2: before their master play, and choirs of tritons crowd the
• 5:14:38
  Speaker 2: watery way. The marshal'd pow'rs in equal troops divide to
• 5:14:45
  Speaker 2: right and left. The gods is better side and close
• 5:14:48
  Speaker 2: and on the worse. The nymphs and nereids ride, now
• 5:14:53
  Speaker 2: smiling hope, with sweet vicissitude within the hero's mind his
• 5:14:59
  Speaker 2: joy's renew, he calls to raise the masts. The sheets
• 5:15:04
  Speaker 2: display the cheerful crew with diligence obey. They scud before
• 5:15:09
  Speaker 2: the wind and sail in open sea ahead of all.
• 5:15:13
  Speaker 2: The master pilot steers, and as he leads the following
• 5:15:18
  Speaker 2: navy veers, the steeds of night had travel'd half the sky.
• 5:15:22
  Speaker 2: The drowsy rowers on their benches lie when the soft
• 5:15:26
  Speaker 2: god of sleep with easy flight descends and draws behind
• 5:15:31
  Speaker 2: a trail of light. Thou Pallinurus art his destined prey
• 5:15:37
  Speaker 2: to thee alone. He takes his fatal way, dire dreams
• 5:15:42
  Speaker 2: to thee. An iron sleep he bears, and lighting on
• 5:15:47
  Speaker 2: the prow, the form of Forbas wears. Then thus the
• 5:15:54
  Speaker 2: traitor god began his tail. The winds, my friend inspire
• 5:15:59
  Speaker 2: a pleasingale. The ships, without thy care securely sail. Now
• 5:16:06
  Speaker 2: steal an hour of sweet repose. And I will take
• 5:16:09
  Speaker 2: the rudder and thy room supply to whom the yawning
• 5:16:13
  Speaker 2: pilot half asleep me dost thou bid to trust the
• 5:16:18
  Speaker 2: treacherous deep. The harlot smiles of her dissembling faith, and
• 5:16:23
  Speaker 2: to her faith commit the trojan race. Shall I believe
• 5:16:28
  Speaker 2: the siren south again and oft betray'd not know the
• 5:16:33
  Speaker 2: monster main, He said, his fasten'd hands the rudder keep
• 5:16:38
  Speaker 2: and fix'd on heav'n his eyes repel invading sleep. The
• 5:16:43
  Speaker 2: god was wroth, and at his temples through a branch
• 5:16:47
  Speaker 2: in Leathee dipp'd and drunk with stygian dew. The pilot,
• 5:16:52
  Speaker 2: vanquish'd by the power divine, soon clos'd his swimming eyes
• 5:16:58
  Speaker 2: and lay supine scarce. Were his limbs extended at their length.
• 5:17:03
  Speaker 2: The God, insulting with superior strength, fell heavy on him,
• 5:17:08
  Speaker 2: plung'd him in the sea, and with the stern the
• 5:17:12
  Speaker 2: rudder tore away headlong. He fell, and, struggling in the main,
• 5:17:17
  Speaker 2: cried out for helping hands, but cried in vain. The
• 5:17:20
  Speaker 2: victor daemon mounts obscure in air, while the ship sails
• 5:17:24
  Speaker 2: without the pilot's care. On Neptune's fate. The floating fleet relies,
• 5:17:31
  Speaker 2: But what the man forsook, the God supplies, and o'er
• 5:17:37
  Speaker 2: the dangerous deep secure the navy flies guides by the
• 5:17:42
  Speaker 2: sirens cliffs a shelfy coast, long infamous for ships and
• 5:17:47
  Speaker 2: sailors lost and white with bones, The impetuous ocean roars
• 5:17:53
  Speaker 2: and rocks rebellow from the sounding shores. The watchful hero
• 5:17:59
  Speaker 2: felt the knox and found the tossing vessel sail'd on
• 5:18:04
  Speaker 2: shoally ground. Sure of his pilot's loss, he takes himself
• 5:18:08
  Speaker 2: the helm and steers aloof and shuns the shelf inly.
• 5:18:14
  Speaker 2: He grieved, and groaning from the breast, deplor'd his death,
• 5:18:19
  Speaker 2: and thus his pain express'd for faith reposed on seas
• 5:18:24
  Speaker 2: and on the flattering sky. Thy naked corpse is doomed
• 5:18:29
  Speaker 2: on shores unknown to lie end of Book five.
• 5:18:38
  Speaker 8: Book six, The World Below, Part one, he said, and wept,
• 5:18:46
  Speaker 8: Then spread his sails before the winds, and reach'd at
• 5:18:49
  Speaker 8: length the Cumean shore. Their anchors dropp'd his crew the vessels.
• 5:18:54
  Speaker 8: More they turned their heads to sea, their sterns to land,
• 5:18:58
  Speaker 8: and greet with greedy joy the Italian strand. Some strike
• 5:19:02
  Speaker 8: from clashing flints their fiery seed. Some gather sticks the
• 5:19:06
  Speaker 8: kindled flames to feed, or search for hollow trees, and
• 5:19:09
  Speaker 8: fell the woods or trays through valleys that discovered floods. Thus,
• 5:19:14
  Speaker 8: while their several charges they fulfill, the pious Prince ascends
• 5:19:18
  Speaker 8: the sacred hill where Phoebus is adored, and seeks the
• 5:19:21
  Speaker 8: shade which hides from sight his venerable maid. Deep in
• 5:19:26
  Speaker 8: a cave the syvil makes abode. Thence full of fate,
• 5:19:29
  Speaker 8: returns and of the God. Through Trivia's grove they walk,
• 5:19:33
  Speaker 8: and now behold and enter now the templed roofed with gold.
• 5:19:37
  Speaker 8: Were Daedalus to fly the Cretan shore, His heavy limbs
• 5:19:41
  Speaker 8: on jointed pinions bore the first who sailed in air
• 5:19:45
  Speaker 8: tis sung by fame to the Cumean host at length
• 5:19:48
  Speaker 8: he came, and here a lighting built, this costly frame,
• 5:19:52
  Speaker 8: inscribed to Phoebus. Here he hung on high the steerage
• 5:19:56
  Speaker 8: of his wings that cut the sky. Then o'er the
• 5:19:59
  Speaker 8: loft to gate, his art embossed Androgius's death, and offerings
• 5:20:04
  Speaker 8: to his ghost. Seven youths from Athens, yearly sent to
• 5:20:08
  Speaker 8: meet the fate appointed by revengeful crete. And next to
• 5:20:12
  Speaker 8: those the dreadful urn was placed, in which the destined
• 5:20:16
  Speaker 8: names by lots were cast. The mournful parents stand around
• 5:20:20
  Speaker 8: in tears, and rising crete against their shore appears. There too,
• 5:20:25
  Speaker 8: in living sculpture, might be seen the mad affection of
• 5:20:28
  Speaker 8: the Cretan queen. Then how she cheats her bellowing lover's eye,
• 5:20:32
  Speaker 8: the rushing leap, the doubtful progeny, the lower part a
• 5:20:36
  Speaker 8: beast a man above the monument of their polluted love.
• 5:20:42
  Speaker 8: Not far from thence he graved the wondrous maze, a
• 5:20:45
  Speaker 8: thousand doors, a thousand winding ways. Here dwells the monster
• 5:20:50
  Speaker 8: hid from human view, not to be found but by
• 5:20:53
  Speaker 8: the faithful clue, till the kind artist moved, with pious
• 5:20:57
  Speaker 8: grief lent to the loving maid. This last relief and
• 5:21:01
  Speaker 8: all those erring paths described so well that theseus conquered,
• 5:21:05
  Speaker 8: and the monster fell here hapless. Icarus had found his part,
• 5:21:10
  Speaker 8: had not the father's grief restrained his art. He twice
• 5:21:14
  Speaker 8: essayed to cast his son in gold. Twice from his
• 5:21:17
  Speaker 8: hands he dropped the forming mold. All this with wondering eyes,
• 5:21:21
  Speaker 8: Aeneas viewed each varying object, his delight renewed, eager to
• 5:21:26
  Speaker 8: read the rest, Akates came, and by his side the
• 5:21:30
  Speaker 8: mad divining Dame, the priestess of the god diephobe her name.
• 5:21:36
  Speaker 8: Time suffers not. She said, to feed your eyes with
• 5:21:39
  Speaker 8: empty pleasures. Haste the sacrifice seven bullocks yet unyoked. For Phoebus, choose,
• 5:21:45
  Speaker 8: and for Diana seven unspotted ewes. This said, The servants
• 5:21:51
  Speaker 8: urged the sacred rites. While to the temple, she the
• 5:21:54
  Speaker 8: prince invites. A spacious cave within its foremost part was
• 5:22:00
  Speaker 8: hewed and fashioned by laborious art, through the hill's hollow sides.
• 5:22:04
  Speaker 8: Before the place, a hundred doors, a hundred entries, grace,
• 5:22:09
  Speaker 8: as many voices issue, and the sound of Sybil's words
• 5:22:12
  Speaker 8: as many times rebound. Now to the mouth they come aloud.
• 5:22:17
  Speaker 8: She cries, this is the time and quire your destinies.
• 5:22:21
  Speaker 8: He comes. Behold the God. Thus, while she said, and
• 5:22:25
  Speaker 8: shivering at this sacred entry, stayed, her color changed, her
• 5:22:29
  Speaker 8: face was not the same, and hollow groans from her
• 5:22:32
  Speaker 8: deep spirit came. Her hair stood up. Convulsive rage possessed
• 5:22:36
  Speaker 8: her trembling limbs and heaved her laboring breast. Greater than
• 5:22:40
  Speaker 8: human kind, she seemed to look, and with an accent
• 5:22:44
  Speaker 8: more than mortal, spoke her staring eyes with sparkling fury.
• 5:22:48
  Speaker 8: Roll When all the gods came rushing on her soul,
• 5:22:52
  Speaker 8: swiftly she turned, and, foaming as she spoke, Why this delay,
• 5:22:56
  Speaker 8: she cried, The powers invoke thy prayers alone can open
• 5:23:00
  Speaker 8: this abode. Else vain are might of man's and dumb
• 5:23:03
  Speaker 8: the god? She said, no more. The trembling trojans here
• 5:23:07
  Speaker 8: o'er spread with the damp sweat and holy fear. The
• 5:23:11
  Speaker 8: Prince himself, with awful dread, possessed his vows to great Apollo.
• 5:23:15
  Speaker 8: Thus addressed indulgent God, propitious power to Troy, swift to relieve,
• 5:23:22
  Speaker 8: unwilling to destroy, directed by whose hand the Dardan dart
• 5:23:26
  Speaker 8: pierced the proud Grecian's only mortal part. Thus far, by
• 5:23:30
  Speaker 8: Fate's decrees and thy commands, through ambient seas and through
• 5:23:34
  Speaker 8: devouring sands, our exiled crew has sought the Estonian ground,
• 5:23:38
  Speaker 8: and now at length the flying coast is found. Thus
• 5:23:43
  Speaker 8: far the fate of Troy, from place to place with fury,
• 5:23:46
  Speaker 8: has pursued her wandering race. Here see ye, powers, and
• 5:23:50
  Speaker 8: let your vengeance end. Troy is no more and can
• 5:23:53
  Speaker 8: no more offend. And thou, o sacred maid, inspired to
• 5:23:57
  Speaker 8: see the event of things in dark futurity, give me
• 5:24:01
  Speaker 8: what heaven is promised to my fate to conquer and
• 5:24:04
  Speaker 8: command the Latian state, to fix my wandering gods, and
• 5:24:08
  Speaker 8: find a place for the long exiles of the Trojan race.
• 5:24:12
  Speaker 8: Then shall my grateful hands the temple rear to the
• 5:24:15
  Speaker 8: twin Gods, with vows and solemn prayer, and annual rites,
• 5:24:19
  Speaker 8: and festivals and games shall be perform'd to their auspicious names.
• 5:24:24
  Speaker 8: Nor shalt thou want thy honors in my land. For
• 5:24:27
  Speaker 8: there thy faithful oracles shall stand preserv'd in shrines, and
• 5:24:31
  Speaker 8: every sacred lay which by thy mouth Apollo shall convey
• 5:24:35
  Speaker 8: all shall be treasured by a chosen train of holy priests,
• 5:24:39
  Speaker 8: and ever shall remain. But O commit not thy prophetic
• 5:24:44
  Speaker 8: mind to flitting leaves the sport of every wind, lest
• 5:24:47
  Speaker 8: they disperse in air our empty fate write not but
• 5:24:51
  Speaker 8: what the powers ordain relate. Struggling in vain, impatient of
• 5:24:56
  Speaker 8: her load, and laboring underneath the ponderous God, the more
• 5:25:00
  Speaker 8: she strove to shake him from her breast with more
• 5:25:03
  Speaker 8: and far superior force, he press'd commands his entrance, and
• 5:25:07
  Speaker 8: without control usurps her organs and inspires her soul. Now
• 5:25:12
  Speaker 8: with the furious blast, the hundred doors ope of themselves.
• 5:25:16
  Speaker 8: A rushing whirlwind roars within the cave, and Sybil's voice
• 5:25:19
  Speaker 8: restores escaped the dangers of the watery rain. Yet more
• 5:25:24
  Speaker 8: and greater ills by land remain the coast. So long
• 5:25:28
  Speaker 8: desir'd nor doubt the event thy troops shall reach. But
• 5:25:32
  Speaker 8: having reached, repent War's horrid wars, I view a field
• 5:25:37
  Speaker 8: of blood and tiber, rolling with a purple flood samoist
• 5:25:42
  Speaker 8: norzanthus shall be wanting. There a new Achille shall in
• 5:25:46
  Speaker 8: arms appear, and he, too, goddess born fierce. Juno's hate,
• 5:25:51
  Speaker 8: added to hostile force, shall urge thy fate to what
• 5:25:54
  Speaker 8: strange nations shalt thou not resort, driven to solicit aid
• 5:25:59
  Speaker 8: at every court, the cause the same which Ilium once
• 5:26:02
  Speaker 8: oppress'd a foreign mistress and a foreign guest. But thou,
• 5:26:07
  Speaker 8: secure of soul, unbent with woes, the more thy fortune frowns,
• 5:26:12
  Speaker 8: the more oppose the dawnings of thy safety shall be shown.
• 5:26:16
  Speaker 8: From whence thou least shall hope a Grecian town. Thus,
• 5:26:21
  Speaker 8: from the dark recess, the Sybil spoke, and though resisting air,
• 5:26:25
  Speaker 8: the thunder broke, the cave rebellowed, and the temple shook.
• 5:26:30
  Speaker 8: The ambiguous God who ruled her laboring breast. In these
• 5:26:33
  Speaker 8: mysterious words, his mind express'd some truth, reveal'd in terms
• 5:26:38
  Speaker 8: involv'd the rest. At length, her fury fell, her foaming ceased,
• 5:26:43
  Speaker 8: an ebbing in her soul. The God decreased. Then, Thus
• 5:26:48
  Speaker 8: the chief, no terror to my view, no frightful face
• 5:26:52
  Speaker 8: of danger can be new, Inured to suffer, and resolved
• 5:26:55
  Speaker 8: to dare the fates without my power shall be without
• 5:26:58
  Speaker 8: my care. This let me crave, since near your grove
• 5:27:02
  Speaker 8: the road to Hell lies open, and the dark abode
• 5:27:05
  Speaker 8: which acoron surrounds the navigable flood conduct me through the
• 5:27:10
  Speaker 8: region's void of light and lead me longing to my
• 5:27:13
  Speaker 8: father's sight. For him, a thousand dangers I have sought,
• 5:27:17
  Speaker 8: and rushing where the thickest Grecians fought safe on my back.
• 5:27:20
  Speaker 8: The sacred burden brought he for my sake, The raging
• 5:27:25
  Speaker 8: ocean tried, and wrath of heaven my still auspicious guide,
• 5:27:29
  Speaker 8: and bore beyond the strength decrepit age supplied oft. Since
• 5:27:33
  Speaker 8: he breathed his last in dead of night, his reverend
• 5:27:36
  Speaker 8: image stood before my sight and join'd to seek below
• 5:27:41
  Speaker 8: his holy shade, conducted there by your unerring aid. But you,
• 5:27:46
  Speaker 8: if pious minds by prayers are one, oblige the father
• 5:27:50
  Speaker 8: and protect the sun. Yours is the power. Nor Proserpine
• 5:27:54
  Speaker 8: in vain has made you priestess of her nightly reign.
• 5:27:57
  Speaker 8: If Orpheus arm'd with his enchanting life, the ruthless king
• 5:28:01
  Speaker 8: with pity could inspire if from the shades below redeem
• 5:28:04
  Speaker 8: his wife. If Pollux, offering his alternate life, could free
• 5:28:08
  Speaker 8: his brother, and can daily go by turns aloft by
• 5:28:12
  Speaker 8: turns descend below. Why name I theseus or his greater friend,
• 5:28:16
  Speaker 8: who trode the downward path and upward could ascend not
• 5:28:20
  Speaker 8: less than theirs From Jove, my lineage came my mother,
• 5:28:23
  Speaker 8: greater my descent. The same, so prayed the Trojan Prince,
• 5:28:29
  Speaker 8: And while he prayed his hands upon the holy altar laid.
• 5:28:33
  Speaker 8: Then thus replied the prophetest divine o goddess, born of
• 5:28:37
  Speaker 8: great Anchises line. The gates of Hell are open night
• 5:28:41
  Speaker 8: and day, smooth the descent, and easy is the way.
• 5:28:46
  Speaker 8: But to return and view the cheerful skies. In this
• 5:28:50
  Speaker 8: the task and mighty labor lies to few. Great Jupiter
• 5:28:54
  Speaker 8: impart this grace, and those of shining worth and heavenly
• 5:28:57
  Speaker 8: race betwixt those regions and our upper light. Deep forests
• 5:29:02
  Speaker 8: and impenetrable night possess the middle space. Then Fernal bounds
• 5:29:07
  Speaker 8: Cocytus with his sable waves surrounds. But if so dire
• 5:29:11
  Speaker 8: a love, your soul invades as twice below to view
• 5:29:15
  Speaker 8: the trembling shades. If use hard a toil will undertake
• 5:29:19
  Speaker 8: as twice to pass the innavigable lake. Receive my council.
• 5:29:23
  Speaker 8: In the neighboring grove there stands a tree. The Queen
• 5:29:27
  Speaker 8: of Stygian Jove claims it her own. Thick woods and
• 5:29:30
  Speaker 8: gloomy night conceal this happy plant from human sight one
• 5:29:35
  Speaker 8: bough it bears, but wonders to behold the ductile rind
• 5:29:39
  Speaker 8: and leaves of radiant gold. This from the vulgar branches
• 5:29:43
  Speaker 8: must be torn, and too fair proserpine. The present born
• 5:29:47
  Speaker 8: ere leave be given to tempt the nether skies. The
• 5:29:51
  Speaker 8: first thus rent a second will arise, and the same
• 5:29:55
  Speaker 8: metal the same room supplies. Look round the wood with
• 5:29:59
  Speaker 8: lifted eyes to se see the lurking gold upon the
• 5:30:01
  Speaker 8: fatal tree. Then rend it off as holy rights command.
• 5:30:05
  Speaker 8: The willing metal will obey thy hand, following with ease.
• 5:30:09
  Speaker 8: If favor'd by Thy fate, Thou art foredoomed to view
• 5:30:13
  Speaker 8: the Stygian state. If not no labor can the tree.
• 5:30:17
  Speaker 8: Constrain and strength of stubborn arms and steel are vain. Besides,
• 5:30:22
  Speaker 8: you know not while you here attend the unworthy fate
• 5:30:25
  Speaker 8: of your unhappy friend. Breathless he lies, and his unburied ghost,
• 5:30:29
  Speaker 8: deprived of funeral rites, pollutes your host. Pay first his
• 5:30:34
  Speaker 8: pious dues, and for the dead to sable sheep around
• 5:30:38
  Speaker 8: his hearse be led, then living turfs upon his body.
• 5:30:42
  Speaker 8: Lay this done securely, take the destined way to find
• 5:30:46
  Speaker 8: the regions destitute of day, she said, and held her peace.
• 5:30:51
  Speaker 8: Aeneas went sad from the cave and full of discontent,
• 5:30:55
  Speaker 8: unknowing what the sacred sibyl meant. Akats the companion of
• 5:31:00
  Speaker 8: his breast goes walking by his side with equal cares.
• 5:31:04
  Speaker 8: Oppressed walking, they talked and fruitlessly divined what friend the
• 5:31:08
  Speaker 8: priestess by those words designed, But soon they found an
• 5:31:12
  Speaker 8: object to deplore. Mynesus lay extended on the shore, son
• 5:31:17
  Speaker 8: of the god of winds, Nune so renowned the warrior
• 5:31:20
  Speaker 8: trumpet in the field, to sound with breathing brast, to
• 5:31:23
  Speaker 8: kindle fierce alarms, and rouse to dare their fate In
• 5:31:27
  Speaker 8: honorable arms. He served great Hector, and was ever near,
• 5:31:32
  Speaker 8: not with his trumpet only but his spear, but by
• 5:31:35
  Speaker 8: Plady's arms. When Hector fell, he chose Aeneas, and he
• 5:31:39
  Speaker 8: chose as well. Swollen with applause, and aiming at still more,
• 5:31:44
  Speaker 8: he now provokes the sea gods from the shore with envy.
• 5:31:48
  Speaker 8: Triton heard the martial sound, and the bold champion for
• 5:31:51
  Speaker 8: his challenge drowned, then cast his mangled carcass on the strand.
• 5:31:56
  Speaker 8: The gazing crowd around the body stand all weep, but
• 5:32:00
  Speaker 8: most Aeneas mourns his fate and hastens to perform the
• 5:32:04
  Speaker 8: funeral state in altar wise a stately pile they rear,
• 5:32:08
  Speaker 8: the basis broad below and top advanced in air, an
• 5:32:11
  Speaker 8: ancient wood fit for the work, designed the shady covert
• 5:32:15
  Speaker 8: of the salvage kind. The Trojans found the sounding ax is,
• 5:32:19
  Speaker 8: plied firs, pines and pitch trees, and the towering pride
• 5:32:23
  Speaker 8: of forest ashes. Feel the fatal stroke and piercing wedges
• 5:32:27
  Speaker 8: cleave the stubborn oak. Huge trunks of trees felled from
• 5:32:31
  Speaker 8: the steepy crown of the bare mountains roll with ruin down,
• 5:32:36
  Speaker 8: Armed like the rest, The Trojan prince appears, and by
• 5:32:39
  Speaker 8: his pious labor urges theirs. Thus, while he wrought, revolving
• 5:32:44
  Speaker 8: in his mind, the ways to compass what his wish designed,
• 5:32:48
  Speaker 8: he cast his eyes upon the gloomy grove, and then,
• 5:32:51
  Speaker 8: with vows, implored the Queen of love, O, may thy
• 5:32:55
  Speaker 8: power propitious still to me conduct my steps to find
• 5:32:59
  Speaker 8: the fatal tree in this deep forest. Since the Sybil's
• 5:33:02
  Speaker 8: breath foretold alas too true Mycenus's death, scarce had he said,
• 5:33:09
  Speaker 8: when full before his sight, two doves descending from their
• 5:33:12
  Speaker 8: airy flight, secure upon the grassy plain a light, he
• 5:33:16
  Speaker 8: knew his mother's birds, and thus he prayed, be you
• 5:33:20
  Speaker 8: my guides, with your auspicious aid, and lead my footsteps
• 5:33:24
  Speaker 8: till the branch be found, whose glittering shadow gilds the
• 5:33:27
  Speaker 8: sacred ground. And thou, great parent, with celestial care in
• 5:33:31
  Speaker 8: this distress, be present to my prayer. Thus, having said,
• 5:33:36
  Speaker 8: he stopped with watchful sight, observing still the motions of
• 5:33:40
  Speaker 8: their flight. What course they took? What happy signs they show?
• 5:33:44
  Speaker 8: They fed and fluttering by degrees, withdrew still farther from
• 5:33:48
  Speaker 8: the place, but still in view, hopping and flying. Thus
• 5:33:52
  Speaker 8: they led him on to the slow lake, whose baleful
• 5:33:55
  Speaker 8: stench to shun. They winged their flight aloft, then, stooping low,
• 5:34:00
  Speaker 8: perched on the double tree that bears the golden bough.
• 5:34:04
  Speaker 8: Through the green leaves, the glittering shadows glow as on
• 5:34:07
  Speaker 8: the sacred oak, the wintry missile toe, where the proud
• 5:34:10
  Speaker 8: mother views her precious brood and happier branches which she
• 5:34:14
  Speaker 8: never sowed. Such was the glittering, such the ruddy rind
• 5:34:19
  Speaker 8: and dancing leaves that wantoned in the wind. He sees
• 5:34:22
  Speaker 8: the shining bough with gripping hold, and rent away with
• 5:34:26
  Speaker 8: ease the lingering gold. Then to the sybil's palace bore
• 5:34:30
  Speaker 8: the prize. Meantime, the trojan troops with weeping eyes to
• 5:34:34
  Speaker 8: dead Mycenus pay his obsequies. First from the ground a
• 5:34:39
  Speaker 8: lofty pile they rear of pitch trees, oaks and pines,
• 5:34:42
  Speaker 8: and unctuous fir. The fabrics front with cypress twigs they strew,
• 5:34:47
  Speaker 8: and stick the sides with boughs of baleful yew. The
• 5:34:50
  Speaker 8: topmost part his glittering arms adorn warm waters. Then, in
• 5:34:54
  Speaker 8: brazen cauldrons born are poured to wash his body, joint
• 5:34:58
  Speaker 8: by joint, and fragrant oils. The stiffened limbs anoint with
• 5:35:03
  Speaker 8: groans and cries, Mycenus they deplore. Then on a buyer
• 5:35:07
  Speaker 8: with purple covered ore the breathless body. Thus bewailed, they
• 5:35:11
  Speaker 8: lay and fire the pile, their faces turned away. Such
• 5:35:15
  Speaker 8: reverend rites their fathers used to pay. Pure oil and incense.
• 5:35:20
  Speaker 8: On the fire they throw and fat of victims, which
• 5:35:23
  Speaker 8: his friends bestow. These gifts the greedy flames to dust devour.
• 5:35:27
  Speaker 8: Then on the living coal's red wine they pour, and
• 5:35:31
  Speaker 8: last the relics by themselves dispose, which in a brazen
• 5:35:35
  Speaker 8: urn the priests enclose. Old Corinaeus compassed thrice the crew
• 5:35:40
  Speaker 8: and dipp'd an olive branch in holy dew, which thrice
• 5:35:43
  Speaker 8: he sprinkled round, and thrice aloud invoked the dead, and
• 5:35:47
  Speaker 8: then dismissed the crowd. But good, Aeneas ordered on the
• 5:35:51
  Speaker 8: shore a stately tomb, whose top a trumpet, bore a
• 5:35:55
  Speaker 8: soldier's function and a seaman's ore. Thus was his friend
• 5:35:59
  Speaker 8: in de heard and deathless fame. Still to the lofty
• 5:36:03
  Speaker 8: cape consigns his name. These rites performed the prince without
• 5:36:07
  Speaker 8: delay haste to the nether world. His destined way deep
• 5:36:11
  Speaker 8: was the cave, and downward, as it went from the
• 5:36:14
  Speaker 8: wide mouth, a rocky rough descent, And here the access
• 5:36:18
  Speaker 8: a gloomy grove defends. And there the unnavigable lake extends,
• 5:36:22
  Speaker 8: or whose unhappy waters, void of light, no bird presumes
• 5:36:26
  Speaker 8: to steer his airy flight. Such deadly stenches from the
• 5:36:30
  Speaker 8: depths arise, and steaming sulfur that infects the eyes. From
• 5:36:35
  Speaker 8: thence the Grecian bars, their legends make and give the
• 5:36:38
  Speaker 8: name Avernus to the lake. Four sable bullocks in the
• 5:36:42
  Speaker 8: yoke untaught for sacrifice. The pious hero brought the priestess,
• 5:36:47
  Speaker 8: pours the wine betwixt their horns, then cuts the curling
• 5:36:50
  Speaker 8: hair that first Oblatian burns, invoking Hecate hither to repair
• 5:36:55
  Speaker 8: a powerful name in hell and upper air. The sacred priests,
• 5:36:59
  Speaker 8: with ready knives, bereave the beasts of life, and in
• 5:37:03
  Speaker 8: full bulls receive the streaming blood a lamb to hell
• 5:37:06
  Speaker 8: and knight the sable wool without a streak of white
• 5:37:10
  Speaker 8: Aeneas offers, and by fate's decree, a barren heifer proserpine
• 5:37:15
  Speaker 8: to thee with holocausts. He Pluto's altar fills seven brawny
• 5:37:20
  Speaker 8: bulls with his own hand he kills. Then on the
• 5:37:23
  Speaker 8: broiling entrails oil he pours, which ointed thus the raging
• 5:37:27
  Speaker 8: flame of ours. Late the nocturnal sacrifice begun, nor ended
• 5:37:32
  Speaker 8: till the next returning sun. Then earth began to bellow,
• 5:37:36
  Speaker 8: trees to dance, and howling dogs in glimmering light advance
• 5:37:40
  Speaker 8: ere Hecate came far. Hence be souls profane. The sybil cried,
• 5:37:46
  Speaker 8: and from the grove a stain. Now Trojan take the way,
• 5:37:49
  Speaker 8: thy fates afford assume thy courage and unsheathe thy sword,
• 5:37:55
  Speaker 8: she said, and passed along the gloomy space. The prince
• 5:37:58
  Speaker 8: pursued her steps with equal pace. Ye realms, yet unrevealed
• 5:38:03
  Speaker 8: the human sight, Ye gods who rule the regions of
• 5:38:06
  Speaker 8: the night, Ye gliding ghosts, permit me to relate the
• 5:38:09
  Speaker 8: mystic wonders of your silent state obscure. They went through
• 5:38:14
  Speaker 8: dreary shades that led along the waste dominions of the dead.
• 5:38:19
  Speaker 8: Thus wander travelers and woods by night, by the moon's
• 5:38:23
  Speaker 8: doubtful and malignant light. When Jove in dusky clouds involves
• 5:38:27
  Speaker 8: the skies, and the faint crescent shoots by fits before
• 5:38:31
  Speaker 8: their eyes, just in the gate and in the jaws
• 5:38:34
  Speaker 8: of hell, revengeful cares and sullen sorrows, dwell and pale,
• 5:38:38
  Speaker 8: diseases and repining age, want, fear and famine's unresisted rage.
• 5:38:44
  Speaker 8: Here toils and death, and death's half brother sleep forms
• 5:38:48
  Speaker 8: terrible to view their sentry keep with anxious pleasures of
• 5:38:52
  Speaker 8: a guilty mind, deep frauds before and open force behind
• 5:38:57
  Speaker 8: the furies, iron beds and strife, And it shakes her
• 5:39:00
  Speaker 8: hissing tresses and unfolds her snakes full in the midst
• 5:39:05
  Speaker 8: of this infernal road, and Elm displays her dusky arms. Abroad,
• 5:39:10
  Speaker 8: The god of sleep there hides his heavy head and
• 5:39:13
  Speaker 8: empty dreams. On every leaf are spread of various forms,
• 5:39:18
  Speaker 8: unnumbered specters, more centaurs, and double shapes. Besieged the door
• 5:39:23
  Speaker 8: before the passage horrid Hydra stands Embryarius with all his
• 5:39:28
  Speaker 8: hundred hands, Gorgons geryon with his triple frame, and vain
• 5:39:33
  Speaker 8: Chimera vomits empty flame. The chief unsheathed his shining steel, prepared,
• 5:39:39
  Speaker 8: though seized with sudden fear to force the guard, offering
• 5:39:43
  Speaker 8: his brandished weapon at their face. Had not. The civil
• 5:39:46
  Speaker 8: stopped his eager pace and told him what those empty
• 5:39:49
  Speaker 8: phantoms were, forms without bodies and impassive air. Hence to
• 5:39:55
  Speaker 8: deep Achuron. They take their way, whose troubled eddies thick
• 5:39:59
  Speaker 8: with the ooze in clay or whorld aloft and Incucitus lost.
• 5:40:04
  Speaker 8: There Charon stands, who rules the dreary coast, A swordid
• 5:40:08
  Speaker 8: god down from his hoary chin, A length of beard descends, uncombed, unclean,
• 5:40:15
  Speaker 8: his eyes like hollow furnaces on fire. A girdle foul
• 5:40:19
  Speaker 8: with grease binds his obscene attire. He spreads his canvas
• 5:40:23
  Speaker 8: with his pole. He steers the freights of flitting ghosts
• 5:40:27
  Speaker 8: in his thin bottom bears. He looked in years, yet
• 5:40:30
  Speaker 8: in his years were seen a youthful vigor and autumnal green.
• 5:40:35
  Speaker 8: An airy crowd came rushing where he stood, which filled
• 5:40:38
  Speaker 8: the margin of the fatal flood. Husbands and wives, boys
• 5:40:42
  Speaker 8: and unmarried maids, and mighty heroes, more majestic shades, and
• 5:40:47
  Speaker 8: youths entombed before their father's eyes, with hollow groans and
• 5:40:51
  Speaker 8: shrieks and feeble cries. Thick as the leaves in autumn
• 5:40:55
  Speaker 8: strove the woods or fowls by winter force, forsake the floods,
• 5:41:00
  Speaker 8: and wing their hasty flight to happier lands. Such and
• 5:41:04
  Speaker 8: so thick the shivering army stands and press for passage
• 5:41:08
  Speaker 8: with extended hands. Now these, now those the surly boatmen
• 5:41:13
  Speaker 8: bore the rest. He drove to distance from the shore.
• 5:41:17
  Speaker 8: The hero, who beheld with wondering eyes the tumult mixed
• 5:41:21
  Speaker 8: with shrieks, laments and cries, asked of his guide what
• 5:41:24
  Speaker 8: the rude concourse meant. Why to the shore the thronging
• 5:41:27
  Speaker 8: people bent, What forms of law among the ghosts were used.
• 5:41:32
  Speaker 8: Why some were ferried o'er and some refused sun of anchises,
• 5:41:37
  Speaker 8: offspring of the gods. The sybil said, you see the
• 5:41:40
  Speaker 8: Stygian floods, the sacred stream which Heaven's imperial state attests
• 5:41:45
  Speaker 8: in oaths and fears to violate. The ghosts rejected? Are
• 5:41:49
  Speaker 8: the unhappy crew deprived of sepulchurs and funeral Do the
• 5:41:54
  Speaker 8: boatmen charon those the buried host he ferries over to
• 5:41:58
  Speaker 8: the farther coast, Nor dares his transport vessel crossed the
• 5:42:02
  Speaker 8: waves with such whose bones are not composed in graves
• 5:42:06
  Speaker 8: a hundred years they wander on the shore at length
• 5:42:09
  Speaker 8: that penance done are wafted O'er the Trojan chief, his
• 5:42:14
  Speaker 8: forward pace repressed, resolving anxious thoughts within his breast. He
• 5:42:18
  Speaker 8: saw his friends who whelmed beneath the waves, their funeral
• 5:42:22
  Speaker 8: honors claimed, and asked their quiet graves. The lost lekapsis
• 5:42:27
  Speaker 8: in the crowd he knew, and brave leader of the
• 5:42:30
  Speaker 8: Lycian crew, whom on the Tyrian seies the tempests met,
• 5:42:34
  Speaker 8: the sailors mastered, and the ships O'er set amidst the
• 5:42:37
  Speaker 8: spirits pallinurus pressed yet fresh from life, A new admitted guest, who,
• 5:42:43
  Speaker 8: while his steering viewed the stars and bore his course
• 5:42:46
  Speaker 8: from afric to the Latian shore, fell headlong down. The
• 5:42:50
  Speaker 8: trojan fixed his view, and scarcely through the gloom, the
• 5:42:54
  Speaker 8: sullen shadow knew than thus the Prince, what envious power,
• 5:42:59
  Speaker 8: O friend, wrought your loved life to this disastrous end?
• 5:43:03
  Speaker 8: For Phoebus, ever true in all he said, has in
• 5:43:06
  Speaker 8: your fate alone my faith betray'd the God foretold you
• 5:43:09
  Speaker 8: should not die before you reached secure from seas the
• 5:43:13
  Speaker 8: Italian shore. Is this the unerring power? The ghost replied,
• 5:43:18
  Speaker 8: Nor Phoebus flatter'd, nor his answers lied, nor envious gods
• 5:43:23
  Speaker 8: have sent me to the deep. But while the stars
• 5:43:25
  Speaker 8: in course of heaven I keep, my wearied eyes were
• 5:43:28
  Speaker 8: seized with fatal sleep, I fell, and with my weight
• 5:43:32
  Speaker 8: the helm constrained was drawn along which yet my grip
• 5:43:36
  Speaker 8: retained now by the winds and raging waves. I swear
• 5:43:40
  Speaker 8: your safety more than mine was than my care lest
• 5:43:43
  Speaker 8: of the guide bereft the rudder lost. Your ship should
• 5:43:46
  Speaker 8: run against the rocky coast three blustering knights borne by
• 5:43:50
  Speaker 8: the southern blast. I floated and discover'd land at last,
• 5:43:54
  Speaker 8: high on a mountain wave my head I bore, forcing
• 5:43:57
  Speaker 8: my strength and gathering to the shore, panting, but past
• 5:44:01
  Speaker 8: the danger. Now I seized the craggy cliffs, and my
• 5:44:04
  Speaker 8: tired members eased. While cumber'd with my dropping clothes, I
• 5:44:08
  Speaker 8: lay the cruel nation, covetous of prey, sting'd with my
• 5:44:13
  Speaker 8: blood the unhospitable coast. And now by winds and waves,
• 5:44:17
  Speaker 8: my lifeless limbs are toss'd, which o avert by Yon
• 5:44:21
  Speaker 8: ethereal light, which I have lost for this eternal night.
• 5:44:25
  Speaker 8: Or if by dearer ties you may be won by
• 5:44:28
  Speaker 8: your dead sire and by your living son, redeem from
• 5:44:31
  Speaker 8: this reproach my wandering ghost, Or with your navy, seek
• 5:44:35
  Speaker 8: the vellen coast, and in a peaceful grave my corpse compose.
• 5:44:39
  Speaker 8: Or if a nearer way your mother shows, without whose
• 5:44:42
  Speaker 8: aid you durst not undertake this frightful passage or the
• 5:44:45
  Speaker 8: Stygian lake, lend to this wretch your hand and waft
• 5:44:49
  Speaker 8: him o'er to the sweet banks of yon forbidden shore. Scarce,
• 5:44:55
  Speaker 8: had he said the prophetess began, what hopes to loathe
• 5:44:58
  Speaker 8: the miserable man? Thinkest thou thus unentombed, to cross the floods,
• 5:45:03
  Speaker 8: to view the furies and infertile gods, and visit without
• 5:45:07
  Speaker 8: leave the dark abodes attend the term of long revolving years.
• 5:45:12
  Speaker 8: Fate and the dooming gods are deaf to tears this
• 5:45:16
  Speaker 8: comfort of thy dire misfortune. Take the wrath of heaven
• 5:45:20
  Speaker 8: inflicted for thy sake. With vengeance, shall pursuthe the inhuman
• 5:45:23
  Speaker 8: coast till they propitiate thy fended ghost, and raise a
• 5:45:27
  Speaker 8: tomb with vows in solemn prayer and pallinarous name. The
• 5:45:32
  Speaker 8: place shall bear this calmed his cares, soothed with his
• 5:45:36
  Speaker 8: future fame, and pleased to hear his propagated name. Now
• 5:45:41
  Speaker 8: nearer to the Stygeon Lake they draw who from the
• 5:45:45
  Speaker 8: shore the surly boatmen saw observed their passage through the
• 5:45:49
  Speaker 8: shady wood, and marked their near approaches to the flood
• 5:45:53
  Speaker 8: than Thus he called aloud, inflamed with wrath, mortal, what
• 5:45:57
  Speaker 8: adare who this forbidden path in art arms presumes to tread.
• 5:46:01
  Speaker 8: I charge thee stand and tell thy name and business
• 5:46:05
  Speaker 8: in the land. Know this the realm of night the
• 5:46:08
  Speaker 8: Stygian shore. My boat conveys no living bodies ore, Nor
• 5:46:13
  Speaker 8: was I pleased great theseus once to bear, who forced
• 5:46:17
  Speaker 8: a passage with this pointed spear, nor strong ecclides, men
• 5:46:21
  Speaker 8: of mighty fame, and from the mortal gods. Their lineage
• 5:46:24
  Speaker 8: came in fetters One the barking porter tide, and took
• 5:46:28
  Speaker 8: him trembling from his sovereign side. Two sought by force
• 5:46:32
  Speaker 8: to seize his beauteous bride, to whom the sibyl. Thus
• 5:46:37
  Speaker 8: compose thy mind, Nor frauds are here contrived, nor force design'd.
• 5:46:42
  Speaker 8: Still may the dog the wandering troops, constrain of airy ghosts,
• 5:46:46
  Speaker 8: and vex the guilty train, and with her grisly lord
• 5:46:49
  Speaker 8: his lovely queen remain. The Trojan chief, whose lineage is
• 5:46:53
  Speaker 8: from Jove, much famed for arms and more for filial love,
• 5:46:58
  Speaker 8: is sent to seek his sire in your elysium grove.
• 5:47:01
  Speaker 8: If neither pity nor Heaven's command can gain his passage
• 5:47:05
  Speaker 8: to the Stygian strand this fatal present shall prevail. At least.
• 5:47:11
  Speaker 8: Then showed the shining bough concealed within her vest. No
• 5:47:15
  Speaker 8: more was needful, for the gloomy god stood mute with
• 5:47:18
  Speaker 8: awe to see the golden rod, admired the destined offering
• 5:47:22
  Speaker 8: to his queen a venerable gift so rarely seen. His
• 5:47:27
  Speaker 8: fury thus appeased, he puts to land. The ghosts forsake
• 5:47:30
  Speaker 8: their seats at his command. He clears the deck, receives
• 5:47:34
  Speaker 8: the mighty freight. The leaky vessel groans beneath the weight.
• 5:47:38
  Speaker 8: Slowly she sails and scarcely stems the tides. The pressing
• 5:47:43
  Speaker 8: water pours within her sides. His passengers, at length are
• 5:47:47
  Speaker 8: wafted o'er exposed in muddy weeds upon the miriy shore
• 5:47:52
  Speaker 8: no sooner landed In his den, they found the triple
• 5:47:55
  Speaker 8: porter of the Stygian sound, grim Cerberus, who soon began
• 5:48:00
  Speaker 8: to rear his crested snakes and armed his bristling hair.
• 5:48:04
  Speaker 8: The prudent Sibyl had before prepared a sop in honey
• 5:48:08
  Speaker 8: steeped to charm the guard, which mixed with powerful drugs,
• 5:48:12
  Speaker 8: she cast before his greedy, grinning jaws. Just op'd to roar.
• 5:48:17
  Speaker 8: With three enormous mouths, he gapes and straight with hunger,
• 5:48:21
  Speaker 8: prest devours the pleasing bait long drafts of sleep. His
• 5:48:25
  Speaker 8: monstrous limbs in slave, he reels and falling fills the
• 5:48:30
  Speaker 8: spacious cave. The keeper charmed the chief without delay, passed
• 5:48:34
  Speaker 8: on and took the irremiable way before the gates. The
• 5:48:39
  Speaker 8: cries of Babe's new born, whom fate had from their
• 5:48:42
  Speaker 8: tender mothers, torn assault his ears than those whose form
• 5:48:47
  Speaker 8: of laws condemned to die. When traitors judge their cause,
• 5:48:51
  Speaker 8: nor want they lots nor judges to review the wrongful
• 5:48:54
  Speaker 8: sentence and a ward anew minos, the strict inquisitor appears
• 5:49:00
  Speaker 8: and lives and crimes with his assessors. Hears round in
• 5:49:04
  Speaker 8: his urn. The blended balls he rolls absolves the just,
• 5:49:08
  Speaker 8: and dooms the guilty souls. The next in place and
• 5:49:12
  Speaker 8: punishment are they who prodigally throw their souls away. Fools who,
• 5:49:17
  Speaker 8: repining at their wretched state and loathing anxious life, suborn
• 5:49:21
  Speaker 8: their fate with late repentance. Now they would retrieve the
• 5:49:25
  Speaker 8: bodies they forsook, and wish to live their pains and poverty,
• 5:49:29
  Speaker 8: desire to bear, to view the light of heaven and
• 5:49:32
  Speaker 8: breathe the vital air. But fate forbids. The Stygian floods oppose,
• 5:49:38
  Speaker 8: and with circling streams the captive souls inclose end of
• 5:49:44
  Speaker 8: book six, Part one. Book six, The World Below, Part
• 5:49:50
  Speaker 8: two not far from Thence the mournful fields appear, so
• 5:49:56
  Speaker 8: called from lovers that inhabit there, the souls whom that
• 5:49:59
  Speaker 8: on half happy flame invades in secret solitude and myrtle
• 5:50:03
  Speaker 8: shades make endless moans and pining with desire, lament too
• 5:50:08
  Speaker 8: late their unextinguished fire. Here Prochrius erriphially, here he found,
• 5:50:14
  Speaker 8: bearing her breast, yet bleeding with the wound made by
• 5:50:17
  Speaker 8: her son. He saw Pacific there with Vadra's ghost, a foul,
• 5:50:22
  Speaker 8: incestuous pear, their Laodamia with Evadne moves unhappy, both both
• 5:50:28
  Speaker 8: loyal in their loves. Caeneus, a woman once and once
• 5:50:32
  Speaker 8: a man, but ending in the sex. She first began
• 5:50:36
  Speaker 8: not far from those Phoenician Dido stood fresh from her wound,
• 5:50:41
  Speaker 8: her bosom bathed in blood, whom when the Trojan hero
• 5:50:44
  Speaker 8: hardly knew, obscure in shades, and with a doubtful view,
• 5:50:49
  Speaker 8: doubtful as he who sees through dusky night, or thinks
• 5:50:52
  Speaker 8: he sees the moon's uncertain light. With tears, he first
• 5:50:56
  Speaker 8: approached the sullen shade, and as his love inspired him,
• 5:50:59
  Speaker 8: thus us he said, unhappy Queen, than is the common
• 5:51:04
  Speaker 8: breath of rumor true in your reported death, and I
• 5:51:07
  Speaker 8: alas the cause by heaven I vow and all the
• 5:51:11
  Speaker 8: powers that rule the realms below. Unwilling, I forsook your
• 5:51:15
  Speaker 8: friendly state, commanded by the gods, enforced by Fate, those gods,
• 5:51:20
  Speaker 8: that Fate whose unresisted might have sent me to these
• 5:51:23
  Speaker 8: regions void of light, through the vast empire of eternal night.
• 5:51:28
  Speaker 8: Nor dared I to presume that, pressed with grief, my
• 5:51:31
  Speaker 8: flight should urge you to this dire relief. Stay, stay
• 5:51:35
  Speaker 8: your steps, and listen to my vows. Tis the last
• 5:51:38
  Speaker 8: interview that Fate allows in vain. He thus attempts her
• 5:51:42
  Speaker 8: mind to move with tears and prayers and late, repenting love. Disdainfully,
• 5:51:47
  Speaker 8: she looked, then, turning round, but fixed her eyes unmoved
• 5:51:51
  Speaker 8: upon the ground, and what he says and swears regards
• 5:51:54
  Speaker 8: no more than the deaf rocks. When the loud billows roar,
• 5:51:58
  Speaker 8: but whirled away to his hateful sight, hid in the
• 5:52:02
  Speaker 8: forest and the shades of night. Then sought Sychaeus through
• 5:52:06
  Speaker 8: the shady grove, who answered all her cares and equalled
• 5:52:09
  Speaker 8: all her love. Some pious tears, the pitying hero paid
• 5:52:14
  Speaker 8: and followed with his eyes the flitting shade then took
• 5:52:17
  Speaker 8: the forward way by fate ordained, and with his guide
• 5:52:21
  Speaker 8: the farther fields attained were severed from the rest. The
• 5:52:24
  Speaker 8: warrior's souls remained. Tydeus he met with Millieggar's race, the
• 5:52:29
  Speaker 8: pride of armies and the soldier's grace, and pale Adrastus
• 5:52:33
  Speaker 8: with his ghastly face of Trojan chiefs. He viewed a
• 5:52:37
  Speaker 8: numerous train, all much lamented, all in battle, slain, Glaucus
• 5:52:42
  Speaker 8: and needun high above the rest, and tenor sons and ceres,
• 5:52:46
  Speaker 8: sacred priest and proud Adaeus, Priam's cherioteer, who shakes his
• 5:52:51
  Speaker 8: empty reins and aims his airy spear. The gladsome ghosts
• 5:52:55
  Speaker 8: encircling troops attend, and with unwearied eyes behold their friend,
• 5:53:00
  Speaker 8: delight to hover near, and long to know what business
• 5:53:03
  Speaker 8: brought him to the realms below. But argive chiefs and
• 5:53:07
  Speaker 8: Agamemnon's train, when his refulgent arms flashed through the shady plain,
• 5:53:12
  Speaker 8: fled from his well known face with wonted fear, as
• 5:53:15
  Speaker 8: when his thundering sword and pointed spear drove headlong to
• 5:53:19
  Speaker 8: their ships and gleaned the routed rear. They raised a
• 5:53:22
  Speaker 8: feeble cry with trembling notes, but the weak voice deceived
• 5:53:26
  Speaker 8: their gasping throats. Here Priam's son, Diiphobus, he found, whose
• 5:53:31
  Speaker 8: face and limbs were one, continued wound, dishonest, with lopt armed.
• 5:53:36
  Speaker 8: The youth appears spoiled of his nose and shorten'd of
• 5:53:39
  Speaker 8: his ears. He scarcely knew him, striving to disown his
• 5:53:43
  Speaker 8: blotted form, and blushing to be known. And therefore first
• 5:53:46
  Speaker 8: began o Zusar's race, who durst thy faultless figure? Thus
• 5:53:50
  Speaker 8: to face what heart could wish, what hand inflect this
• 5:53:54
  Speaker 8: dire disgrace. Twas fain that in our last and fatal night,
• 5:53:58
  Speaker 8: your single prowess longs stained the fight till tired, not
• 5:54:02
  Speaker 8: forced a glorious fate, you chose and fell upon a
• 5:54:06
  Speaker 8: heap of slaughter'd foes. But in remembrance of so brave
• 5:54:09
  Speaker 8: a deed, a tomb and funeral honors, I decreed thrice
• 5:54:13
  Speaker 8: called your manes on the Trojan plains, the place your
• 5:54:16
  Speaker 8: armor and your name retains your body too, I sought
• 5:54:20
  Speaker 8: and had I found designed for burial in your native ground.
• 5:54:24
  Speaker 8: The ghost replied, your piety has paid all needful rights
• 5:54:28
  Speaker 8: to rest my wandering shade, but cruel fate and my
• 5:54:32
  Speaker 8: more cruel wife to Grecian swords betrayed my sleeping life.
• 5:54:37
  Speaker 8: These are the monuments of Helen's love. The shame I
• 5:54:40
  Speaker 8: bear below, the marks I bore above. You know in
• 5:54:44
  Speaker 8: what deluding joys we passed. The knight that was by
• 5:54:47
  Speaker 8: heaven decreed our last. For when the fatal horse, descending down,
• 5:54:51
  Speaker 8: pregnant with arms o'erwhelmed the unhappy town, she feigned nocturnal orgies,
• 5:54:57
  Speaker 8: left my bed and mix'd with trojan dames that chances led. Then,
• 5:55:01
  Speaker 8: waving high her torch, the signal made which roused the
• 5:55:04
  Speaker 8: Grecians from their ambuscade. With watching overworn and with cares oppressed, unhappy,
• 5:55:10
  Speaker 8: I had lain me down to rest and heavy sleep.
• 5:55:13
  Speaker 8: My weary limbs possessed meantime my worthy wife, our arms mislaid,
• 5:55:17
  Speaker 8: and from beneath my head my sword conveyed the door unlatched,
• 5:55:22
  Speaker 8: and with repeated calls invites her former lord within my walls. Thus,
• 5:55:27
  Speaker 8: in her crime, her confidence she placed, and with new
• 5:55:30
  Speaker 8: treason would redeem the past. What need I more? Into
• 5:55:34
  Speaker 8: the room they ran and meanly murdered a defenseless man
• 5:55:39
  Speaker 8: ulysses basely born first led the way, avenging powers with justice.
• 5:55:44
  Speaker 8: If I pray that fortune be their own another day,
• 5:55:47
  Speaker 8: But answer you, and in your turn relate what brought
• 5:55:50
  Speaker 8: you living to the Stygian state, driven by the winds
• 5:55:53
  Speaker 8: and errors of the sea, Or did you Heaven's superior
• 5:55:57
  Speaker 8: doom obey? Or tell what other chance conductions your way
• 5:56:00
  Speaker 8: to view with mortal eyes are dark retreats, tumults and
• 5:56:03
  Speaker 8: torments of the infernal seats. While thus in talk the
• 5:56:07
  Speaker 8: flying hours they pass, the sun had finished more than
• 5:56:11
  Speaker 8: half his race, and they, perhaps, in words and tears,
• 5:56:14
  Speaker 8: has spent the little time of stay which Heaven had lent.
• 5:56:18
  Speaker 8: But thus the civil chides their long delay. Night rushes
• 5:56:21
  Speaker 8: down and headlong drives the day tis here in different paths.
• 5:56:25
  Speaker 8: The way divides the right to Pluto's golden palace, guides
• 5:56:29
  Speaker 8: the left to that unhappy region tends, which to the
• 5:56:32
  Speaker 8: depth of Tartarus descends the seat of Night, profound and
• 5:56:37
  Speaker 8: punished fiends. Than thus the iphobus, O, sacred maid, forbear
• 5:56:42
  Speaker 8: to chide and be your will obeyed. Lo to the
• 5:56:45
  Speaker 8: secret shadows. I retire to pay my penance till my
• 5:56:48
  Speaker 8: years expire. Proceed auspicious prince with glory crowned, and born
• 5:56:53
  Speaker 8: to better fates than I have found, he said, And
• 5:56:57
  Speaker 8: while he said his steps, he turned to secret shadows,
• 5:57:01
  Speaker 8: and in silence mourned the hero. Looking on the left,
• 5:57:05
  Speaker 8: despite a lofty tower, and strong on every side, with
• 5:57:08
  Speaker 8: treble walls which Phlegethon surrounds, whose fiery flood the burning
• 5:57:13
  Speaker 8: empire bounds and pressed betwixt the rocks. The bellowing noise
• 5:57:17
  Speaker 8: resounds wide is the fronting gate, and raised on high
• 5:57:21
  Speaker 8: with adamanting columns, threats the sky. Vain is the force
• 5:57:25
  Speaker 8: of man, and heavens as vain to crush the pillars
• 5:57:28
  Speaker 8: which the piles sustain sublime on these a tower of
• 5:57:31
  Speaker 8: steel is reared and dire to syphony. There keeps the
• 5:57:34
  Speaker 8: ward Girt in her sanguine gown by night and day,
• 5:57:39
  Speaker 8: observant of the souls that pass the downward way. From
• 5:57:43
  Speaker 8: thence are heard the groans of ghosts, the pains of
• 5:57:45
  Speaker 8: sounding lashes, and of dragging chains. The Trojans stood astonished
• 5:57:50
  Speaker 8: at their cries, and asked his guide from whence those
• 5:57:53
  Speaker 8: yells arise? And what the crimes and what the tortures were?
• 5:57:57
  Speaker 8: And loud laments that rent the liquid air. She thus replied,
• 5:58:03
  Speaker 8: the chaste and holy race are all forbidden this polluted place.
• 5:58:07
  Speaker 8: But hecate when she gave to rule the woods, then
• 5:58:10
  Speaker 8: led me trembling through these dire abodes, and taught the
• 5:58:14
  Speaker 8: tortures of the avenging gods. These are the realms of
• 5:58:17
  Speaker 8: unrelenting fate and awful rodamanthus rules the state. He hears
• 5:58:22
  Speaker 8: and judges each committed crime, and quires into the matter
• 5:58:26
  Speaker 8: place and time. The conscious wretch must all his axe, reveal,
• 5:58:30
  Speaker 8: loath to confess, unable to conceal, from the first moment
• 5:58:34
  Speaker 8: of his vital breath to his last hour of unrepenting death.
• 5:58:39
  Speaker 8: Straight o'er the guilty ghost. The Fury shakes the sounding
• 5:58:42
  Speaker 8: whip and brandishes her snakes, and the pale sinner, with
• 5:58:46
  Speaker 8: her sisters, takes then of itself, unfolds the eternal door
• 5:58:51
  Speaker 8: with dreadful sounds. The brazen hinges roar. You see before
• 5:58:55
  Speaker 8: the gate. What stalking ghost commands the guard? What sentries
• 5:58:59
  Speaker 8: keep the post more formidable? Hydra stands within, whose jaws
• 5:59:03
  Speaker 8: with iron teeth severely grin. The gaping gulf low to
• 5:59:08
  Speaker 8: the center lies and twice as deep as Earth is
• 5:59:11
  Speaker 8: distant from the skies, the rivals of the gods. The
• 5:59:14
  Speaker 8: Titan race here singed with lightning, roll within the infathom's space.
• 5:59:20
  Speaker 8: Here lie the alien twins. I saw them, both enormous
• 5:59:24
  Speaker 8: bodies of gigantic growth, who dared in fight the thunderer,
• 5:59:28
  Speaker 8: to defy, affect his heaven, and force him from the sky. Celmonious, suffering,
• 5:59:33
  Speaker 8: cruel pains I found for emulating Jove, the rattling sound
• 5:59:37
  Speaker 8: of mimic thunder and the glittering blaze of pointed lightnings
• 5:59:41
  Speaker 8: and their forky rays. Through Elis and the Grecian towns.
• 5:59:45
  Speaker 8: He flew th audacious wretch, four fiery courses drew, He
• 5:59:49
  Speaker 8: waved a torch aloft, and madly vain sought godlike worship
• 5:59:53
  Speaker 8: from a servile train, ambitious fool with horny hoofs to
• 5:59:58
  Speaker 8: pass or hollow arches of resound brass, to rival thunder
• 6:00:02
  Speaker 8: in its rapid course and imitate inimitable force. But he,
• 6:00:07
  Speaker 8: the King of Heaven, obscure on high, bared his red arm,
• 6:00:10
  Speaker 8: and launching from the sky his writhen bolt, not shaking
• 6:00:14
  Speaker 8: empty smoke, down to the deep abyss. The flaming felons
• 6:00:18
  Speaker 8: struck There, Titius was to see who took his birth
• 6:00:22
  Speaker 8: from heaven, his nursing from the foodful earth. Here his
• 6:00:25
  Speaker 8: gigantic limbs, with large embrace in fold nine acres of
• 6:00:30
  Speaker 8: infernal space. A ravenous vulture in his opened side, her
• 6:00:34
  Speaker 8: crooked beak and cruel talons tried still for the growing
• 6:00:38
  Speaker 8: liver digged his breast, The growing liver still supplied the feast.
• 6:00:43
  Speaker 8: Still are his intrails fruitful to their pains, their mortal
• 6:00:46
  Speaker 8: hunger last, the immortal food remains. Iigjon and Perretheusychic name,
• 6:00:53
  Speaker 8: and more. Thessalian chiefs of mighty fame high o'er their heads,
• 6:00:57
  Speaker 8: a moldering rock is placed that promises of fall and
• 6:01:00
  Speaker 8: shakes at every blast. They lie below on golden beds displayed,
• 6:01:05
  Speaker 8: and genial feasts with regal pomp are made. The Queen
• 6:01:10
  Speaker 8: of furies by their sides is set and snatches from
• 6:01:13
  Speaker 8: their mouths the untasted meat, which if they touch her,
• 6:01:16
  Speaker 8: hissing snakes, she rears, tossing her torch and thundering in
• 6:01:19
  Speaker 8: their ears. Than they who brothers better claim, disowned, expel
• 6:01:24
  Speaker 8: their parents, and usurp the throne, defraud their clients and
• 6:01:28
  Speaker 8: to lucre sold sit brooding on unprofitable gold, who dare
• 6:01:32
  Speaker 8: not give, and even refuse to lend to their poor
• 6:01:35
  Speaker 8: kindred or a wanting friend. Vast is the throng of these,
• 6:01:40
  Speaker 8: Nor less the train of lustful youths for foul adultery,
• 6:01:44
  Speaker 8: slain hosts of deserters, who their honor sold and basely
• 6:01:48
  Speaker 8: broke their faith for bribes of gold. All these within
• 6:01:52
  Speaker 8: the dungeon's depth remain despairing, pardon, and expecting pain. Ask
• 6:01:57
  Speaker 8: not what pains, nor further seek to know their process
• 6:02:01
  Speaker 8: or the forms of law below. Some roll the weighty stone,
• 6:02:05
  Speaker 8: Some laid along and bound with burning wires on spokes
• 6:02:08
  Speaker 8: of wheels, are hung unhappy, theseus doomed for ever there
• 6:02:13
  Speaker 8: is fix'd by Fate on his eternal chair, and wretched
• 6:02:16
  Speaker 8: phlegias warns the world with cries. Could warning make the
• 6:02:20
  Speaker 8: world more just or wise? Learn righteousness and dread the
• 6:02:23
  Speaker 8: avenging deities to tyrants. Others have their country sold, imposing
• 6:02:29
  Speaker 8: foreign lords for foreign gold. Some have old laws repeal'd
• 6:02:33
  Speaker 8: new statutes made not as the people pleas'd, but as
• 6:02:36
  Speaker 8: they paid with incest. Some their daughter's beds Profan'd all
• 6:02:41
  Speaker 8: dared the worst of ills, and what they dared attain'd.
• 6:02:45
  Speaker 8: Had I a hundred mouths, a hundred tongues, and throats
• 6:02:49
  Speaker 8: of brass, inspir'd with iron lungs, I could not half
• 6:02:52
  Speaker 8: those horrid crimes repeat, nor half the punishments those crimes
• 6:02:56
  Speaker 8: have met. But let us haste our voyage to pursue.
• 6:03:00
  Speaker 8: The walls of Pluto's palace are in view. The gate
• 6:03:03
  Speaker 8: and iron arch above it stands on anvils labored by
• 6:03:06
  Speaker 8: the cyclops hands before our farther way the fates allow.
• 6:03:10
  Speaker 8: Here must we fix on high the golden bough, she said,
• 6:03:15
  Speaker 8: And through the gloomy shades they passed, and choose the
• 6:03:18
  Speaker 8: middle path. Arrived at last the Prince, with living water
• 6:03:22
  Speaker 8: sprinkled o'er his limbs in body, then approached the door,
• 6:03:26
  Speaker 8: possessed the porch, and on the front above he fixed
• 6:03:30
  Speaker 8: the fatal bough. Requir'd by Pluto's love, these holy rites perform'd.
• 6:03:35
  Speaker 8: They took their way, where long extended plains of pleasure lay,
• 6:03:39
  Speaker 8: the verdant fields with those of heaven may vie with
• 6:03:42
  Speaker 8: either vested, and the purple sky, the blissful seats of
• 6:03:46
  Speaker 8: happy souls below stars of their own and their own sons.
• 6:03:50
  Speaker 8: They know their airy limbs. In sports they exercise, and
• 6:03:54
  Speaker 8: on the green contend the wrestler's prize. Some in heroic
• 6:03:58
  Speaker 8: verse divinely sing, others in artful measures, led the ring.
• 6:04:03
  Speaker 8: The Thracian, barred surrounded by the rest. There stands conspicuous
• 6:04:07
  Speaker 8: in his flowing vest. His flying fingers and harmonious quill
• 6:04:11
  Speaker 8: strike seven distinguished notes, and seven at once they fill.
• 6:04:15
  Speaker 8: Here found they Tucer's old heroic race, born better times
• 6:04:20
  Speaker 8: and happier years to grace Assericus and Ilus. Here in
• 6:04:23
  Speaker 8: joy perpetual fame with him who founded Troy. The chief
• 6:04:28
  Speaker 8: beheld their chariots from afar, their shining arms and coursers
• 6:04:32
  Speaker 8: trained to war, their lances fixed in earth, their steeds around,
• 6:04:36
  Speaker 8: free from their harness, graze the flowry ground, the love
• 6:04:40
  Speaker 8: of horses which they had alive, and care of chariots
• 6:04:44
  Speaker 8: after death survive. Some cheerful souls were feasting on the plain.
• 6:04:49
  Speaker 8: Some did the song, and some the choir maintain beneath
• 6:04:52
  Speaker 8: a laurel shade, where mighty po mounts up to woods
• 6:04:56
  Speaker 8: above and hides his head below. Here patriots live who
• 6:05:01
  Speaker 8: for their country's good in fighting fields. Were prodigal of blood,
• 6:05:06
  Speaker 8: priests of unblemished lives here make abode, and poets worthy
• 6:05:09
  Speaker 8: their inspiring God, and searching wits of more mechanic parts,
• 6:05:14
  Speaker 8: who graced their age with new invented arts. Those who
• 6:05:18
  Speaker 8: to worth their bounty did extend, and those who knew
• 6:05:21
  Speaker 8: that bounty to command the heads of these with holy
• 6:05:24
  Speaker 8: phillates bound, and all their temples, wherewith garlands crowned to
• 6:05:29
  Speaker 8: these the civil Thus her speech addressed, and first to him,
• 6:05:33
  Speaker 8: surrounded by the rest towering his height and ample was
• 6:05:37
  Speaker 8: his breast. Say, happy souls, divine mousaas say, where lives anchises,
• 6:05:43
  Speaker 8: and where lies our way to find the hero for
• 6:05:46
  Speaker 8: whose only sake we sought the dark abodes and crossed
• 6:05:49
  Speaker 8: the bitter lake. To this The sacred poet thus replied,
• 6:05:54
  Speaker 8: in no fixed place, the happy souls reside in groves.
• 6:05:58
  Speaker 8: We live and lie on mossy beds, by crystal streams
• 6:06:02
  Speaker 8: that murmur through the meads. But pass yon easy hill,
• 6:06:05
  Speaker 8: and thence descend the path conducts you to your journey's end.
• 6:06:10
  Speaker 8: This said. He led them up the mountain's brow and
• 6:06:13
  Speaker 8: shows them all the shining fields below. They wind the
• 6:06:17
  Speaker 8: hill and through the blissful meadows go, But old anchises
• 6:06:22
  Speaker 8: in a flowery vale reviewed his mustered race and took
• 6:06:25
  Speaker 8: the tale. Those happy spirits, which ordained by fate for
• 6:06:29
  Speaker 8: future beings and new bodies wait with studious thought observed
• 6:06:34
  Speaker 8: the lustrous throng in nature's order as they passed along
• 6:06:38
  Speaker 8: their names, their fates, their conduct, and their care in
• 6:06:41
  Speaker 8: peaceful senates and successful war. He, when Aeneas on the
• 6:06:46
  Speaker 8: plain appears, meets him with open arms and falling tears.
• 6:06:51
  Speaker 8: Well come, he said, the God's undoubted race, O long
• 6:06:55
  Speaker 8: expected to my dear embrace. Once more tis given me
• 6:06:59
  Speaker 8: to behold your Once more tis given me to behold
• 6:07:02
  Speaker 8: your face. The love and pious duty which you pay
• 6:07:06
  Speaker 8: have passed the perils of so hard away tis true.
• 6:07:10
  Speaker 8: Computing times, I now believed the happy day approached. Nor
• 6:07:14
  Speaker 8: are my hopes deceived? What length of lands? What oceans
• 6:07:18
  Speaker 8: have you passed? What storms sustain'd? And on what shores
• 6:07:21
  Speaker 8: been cast? How have I feared your fate, but feared
• 6:07:25
  Speaker 8: it most when love assailed you on the Libyan coast.
• 6:07:29
  Speaker 8: To this the filial duty thus replies your sacred ghost
• 6:07:34
  Speaker 8: before my sleeping eyes appeared and often urged this painful enterprise.
• 6:07:39
  Speaker 8: After long tossing on the Tyrene sea, my navy rides
• 6:07:43
  Speaker 8: at anchor in the bay. But reach your hand, o parent,
• 6:07:46
  Speaker 8: shade the dear embraces of your longing son, he said,
• 6:07:50
  Speaker 8: and falling tears his face bedeu. Then thrice around his
• 6:07:54
  Speaker 8: neck his arms he threw, and thrice the flitting shadow
• 6:07:57
  Speaker 8: slipped away, like winds or emptied dreams that fly the day. Now,
• 6:08:02
  Speaker 8: in a secret veil, the trojan sees a separate grove
• 6:08:06
  Speaker 8: through which a gentle breeze plays with a passing breath
• 6:08:09
  Speaker 8: and whispers through the trees. And just before the confines
• 6:08:12
  Speaker 8: of the wood, the gliding Lethae leads her silent flood
• 6:08:17
  Speaker 8: about the boughs, and airy nation flew thick as the
• 6:08:20
  Speaker 8: humming bees that hunt the golden dew in summer's heat.
• 6:08:23
  Speaker 8: On tops of lilies feed and creep within their bells
• 6:08:26
  Speaker 8: to suck the balmy seed. The winged army roams the
• 6:08:30
  Speaker 8: fields around the rivers, and the rocks re murmur to
• 6:08:33
  Speaker 8: the sound. Aeneas wandering stood then asked the cause which
• 6:08:37
  Speaker 8: to the stream the crowding people draws. Then thus the
• 6:08:41
  Speaker 8: sire The souls that throng the flood are those to whom,
• 6:08:45
  Speaker 8: by fate are other bodies owed and lethe's lake. They
• 6:08:49
  Speaker 8: long oblivion, taste of future life, secure, forgetful of the past.
• 6:08:54
  Speaker 8: Long has my soul desired this time and place to
• 6:08:57
  Speaker 8: set before your sight, your glorious race, that this presaging
• 6:09:02
  Speaker 8: joy may fire your mind to seek the shores by
• 6:09:05
  Speaker 8: destiny designed, O Father, can it be that souls sublime
• 6:09:10
  Speaker 8: return to visit our terrestrial clime, and that the generous
• 6:09:14
  Speaker 8: mind released by death can covet lazy limbs and mortal
• 6:09:18
  Speaker 8: breath and kises then in order thus began to clear
• 6:09:22
  Speaker 8: those wonders to his godlike son, know first that heaven
• 6:09:26
  Speaker 8: and Earth's compacted frame and flowing waters, and the starry flame,
• 6:09:31
  Speaker 8: and both the radiant lights, one common soul inspires and
• 6:09:35
  Speaker 8: feeds and animates the whole. This active mind, infused through
• 6:09:40
  Speaker 8: all the space, unites and mingles with the mighty mass.
• 6:09:43
  Speaker 8: Hence men and beasts, the breath of life obtain, and
• 6:09:47
  Speaker 8: birds of air and monsters of the main. The ethereal
• 6:09:51
  Speaker 8: vigor is in all the same, and every soul is
• 6:09:54
  Speaker 8: filled with equal flame, as much as earthy limbs and gross,
• 6:09:58
  Speaker 8: a lay of mortal members subje to decay blunt. Not
• 6:10:01
  Speaker 8: the beams of heaven and edge of day. From this
• 6:10:05
  Speaker 8: coarse mixture of terrestrial parts, desire and fear by turns
• 6:10:09
  Speaker 8: possess their hearts and grief and joy. Nor can the
• 6:10:12
  Speaker 8: groveling mind, in the dark dungeon of the limbs, confined
• 6:10:16
  Speaker 8: assert the native skies or own its heavenly kind. Nor
• 6:10:20
  Speaker 8: death itself can wholly wash their stains. But long contracted filth,
• 6:10:24
  Speaker 8: even in the soul, remains. The relics of invetter advice
• 6:10:28
  Speaker 8: they wear, and spots of sin obscene in every face appear.
• 6:10:32
  Speaker 8: For this are varied penances enjoined, and some are hung
• 6:10:36
  Speaker 8: to bleach upon the wind, some plunged in waters, others
• 6:10:40
  Speaker 8: purged in fires, till all the dregs are drained, and
• 6:10:44
  Speaker 8: all the rust expires. All have their manes, and those
• 6:10:47
  Speaker 8: manes bear the few so cleansed to these abodes, repair
• 6:10:52
  Speaker 8: and breathe in ample fields the soft lesian air. Then
• 6:10:56
  Speaker 8: are they happy, when, by length of time the scurf
• 6:10:59
  Speaker 8: is worn away of each committed crime, No speck is
• 6:11:02
  Speaker 8: left of their habitual stains, but the pure ether of
• 6:11:06
  Speaker 8: the soul remains. But when a thousand rolling years are past,
• 6:11:10
  Speaker 8: so long their punishments and penance, last whole droves of
• 6:11:14
  Speaker 8: minds are, by the driving God compelled to drink the
• 6:11:18
  Speaker 8: deep Lithian flood in large forgetful drafts, to steep the
• 6:11:22
  Speaker 8: cares of their past labors and their irksome years, that,
• 6:11:26
  Speaker 8: unremembering of its former pain, the soul may suffer mortal
• 6:11:30
  Speaker 8: flesh again. Thus, having said, the Father's spirit leads the
• 6:11:36
  Speaker 8: priestess and his son through swarms of shades, and takes
• 6:11:39
  Speaker 8: a rising ground. From thence to see the long procession
• 6:11:43
  Speaker 8: of his progeny. Survey pursued the sire, this airy throng
• 6:11:48
  Speaker 8: as offered to thy view. They pass along. These are
• 6:11:51
  Speaker 8: the Italian names which fate will join with hours in
• 6:11:55
  Speaker 8: graff upon the Trojan line. Observe the youth, who first
• 6:11:58
  Speaker 8: appears in sight and holds the nearest station to the light,
• 6:12:02
  Speaker 8: already seems to snuff the vital air, and leans just
• 6:12:06
  Speaker 8: forward on a shining spear. Sylvia says he thy last
• 6:12:10
  Speaker 8: begotten race, but first in orders sent to fill thy place.
• 6:12:15
  Speaker 8: An alban name, but mix'd with Dardan blood borne in
• 6:12:18
  Speaker 8: the covert of a shady wood, him fair Levigna, thy
• 6:12:22
  Speaker 8: surviving wife shall breed in groves, to lead a solitary
• 6:12:26
  Speaker 8: life in Alba. Shall he fix his royal seat and
• 6:12:30
  Speaker 8: born a king a race of kings. Beget then procus
• 6:12:34
  Speaker 8: honor of the Trojan name Cappus in numatre of endless fame.
• 6:12:38
  Speaker 8: A second Sylvius. After these appears Silvius aeneas for thy
• 6:12:43
  Speaker 8: name he bears for arms in justice equally renown'd who
• 6:12:47
  Speaker 8: late restor'd in Alba shall be crown'd. How great they look,
• 6:12:52
  Speaker 8: how vigorously they wield their weighty lances and sustain the shield.
• 6:12:56
  Speaker 8: But they who crown'd with oaken wreaths appear, shall Gabian
• 6:13:00
  Speaker 8: walls and strong fidina rear nomentum bolah, with pometia found,
• 6:13:06
  Speaker 8: and raise Collation's towers on rocky ground. All these shall
• 6:13:10
  Speaker 8: then be towns of mighty fame, though now they lie
• 6:13:13
  Speaker 8: obscure and lands without a name. See Romulus the Great
• 6:13:18
  Speaker 8: born to restore the crown that once his injured grandsire war,
• 6:13:23
  Speaker 8: This prince, a priestess of your blood, shall bear, and
• 6:13:26
  Speaker 8: like his sire in arms he shall appear two rising
• 6:13:29
  Speaker 8: crests his royal head adorn, born from a God himself
• 6:13:33
  Speaker 8: to God had borne his sire, already signs him for
• 6:13:37
  Speaker 8: the skies and marks the seat amidst the deities. Auspicious
• 6:13:41
  Speaker 8: chief Thy race and times to come shall spread the
• 6:13:44
  Speaker 8: conquests of imperial Rome, Rome, whose ascending towers shall heaven invade,
• 6:13:50
  Speaker 8: involving Earth and ocean in her shade, high as the
• 6:13:53
  Speaker 8: mother of the gods, in place and proud like her
• 6:13:56
  Speaker 8: of an immortal race than when in pomp she may
• 6:14:00
  Speaker 8: the Phrygian round with golden turrets on her temples, crowned
• 6:14:04
  Speaker 8: a hundred gods, her sweeping train supply her offspring, all
• 6:14:08
  Speaker 8: and all command the sky. Now fix your sight and
• 6:14:12
  Speaker 8: stand intent to see your Roman race and Julian progeny.
• 6:14:17
  Speaker 8: The mighty Caesar waits his vital hour, impatient for the world,
• 6:14:21
  Speaker 8: and grasps his promised power. But next behold the youth
• 6:14:26
  Speaker 8: of form divine Caesar himself exalted in his line, Augustus,
• 6:14:31
  Speaker 8: promised oft and long foretold, sent to the realm that
• 6:14:34
  Speaker 8: Saturn ruled of old, born to restore a better age
• 6:14:38
  Speaker 8: of gold, afric and India, shall his powers obey. He
• 6:14:42
  Speaker 8: shall extend his propagated sway beyond the solar year, without
• 6:14:46
  Speaker 8: the starry way, where Atlas turns the rolling heavens around,
• 6:14:51
  Speaker 8: and his broad shoulders, with their lights, are crowned at
• 6:14:54
  Speaker 8: his foreseen approach. Already quake the Caspian kingdoms and Maeotian Lake.
• 6:15:00
  Speaker 8: Their seers behold the tempest from Afar, and threatening oracles
• 6:15:04
  Speaker 8: denounce the war. Nil hears him knocking at his sevenfold
• 6:15:08
  Speaker 8: gates and seeks his hidden spring, and fears his nephew's fates.
• 6:15:13
  Speaker 8: Nor Hercules, more lands or labors knew not though the
• 6:15:17
  Speaker 8: brazen footed hind He slew freed erymanthus from the foaming
• 6:15:21
  Speaker 8: boar and dipp'd his arrows in Layurnian gore, nor Bacchus
• 6:15:26
  Speaker 8: turning from his Indian war by tiger's drawn triumphant in
• 6:15:29
  Speaker 8: his car for Nice's top, descending on the plains with
• 6:15:33
  Speaker 8: curling vines around his purple reins, and doubt we yet
• 6:15:37
  Speaker 8: through dangers to pursue the paths of honor and a
• 6:15:40
  Speaker 8: crown in view. But what's the man who from Afar
• 6:15:43
  Speaker 8: appears his head with olive crowned his hand, A censer
• 6:15:48
  Speaker 8: bears his hoary beard, and holy vestments bring his lost
• 6:15:52
  Speaker 8: idea back. I know the Roman king, he shall't peaceful
• 6:15:56
  Speaker 8: Rome new laws ordain call'd from his mean abode a
• 6:16:00
  Speaker 8: scepter to sustain him. Tullus, next in dignity, succeeds, an
• 6:16:05
  Speaker 8: active prince and prone to martial deeds. He shall his
• 6:16:09
  Speaker 8: troops for fighting fields prepare disused to toils and triumphs
• 6:16:13
  Speaker 8: of the war. By dint of sword his crown. He
• 6:16:16
  Speaker 8: shall increase and scour his armor from the rust of peace,
• 6:16:21
  Speaker 8: whom Anchus follows with a fawning air, but vain within
• 6:16:25
  Speaker 8: and proudly popular. Next view the Tarquin kings, the venging
• 6:16:30
  Speaker 8: sword of Brutus justly drawn and Rome restored. He first
• 6:16:35
  Speaker 8: renews the rods and acts severe, and gives the consuls
• 6:16:38
  Speaker 8: royal robes to wear his sons, who seek the tyrant
• 6:16:42
  Speaker 8: to sustain and long for arbitrary lords. Again with ignominy
• 6:16:47
  Speaker 8: scourged in open sight, he dooms to death deserved, asserting
• 6:16:51
  Speaker 8: public right, unhappy man to break the pious laws of nature,
• 6:16:56
  Speaker 8: pleading in his children's cause. Howe'er the doubtful fact act
• 6:17:00
  Speaker 8: is understood, tis love of honor and his country's good.
• 6:17:04
  Speaker 8: The consul, not the father, sheds the blood behold Tarquitus
• 6:17:09
  Speaker 8: the same track pursue, and next the two devoted dease
• 6:17:13
  Speaker 8: I view the Drusian line Camillus, loaded home with standards
• 6:17:18
  Speaker 8: well redeemed, and foreign foes. O'er come the pair you
• 6:17:21
  Speaker 8: see in equal armor shine. Now friends below in close
• 6:17:25
  Speaker 8: embraces join. But when they leave the shady realms of
• 6:17:28
  Speaker 8: night and clothes and bodies, breathe your upper light with
• 6:17:32
  Speaker 8: mortal hate. Each other shall pursue what war's, what wounds,
• 6:17:36
  Speaker 8: what slaughter shall ensue from alpine heights. The father first
• 6:17:40
  Speaker 8: descends his daughter's husband in the plain, attends his daughter's husband,
• 6:17:45
  Speaker 8: arms his eastern friends. Embrace again, My sons be foes
• 6:17:49
  Speaker 8: no more, nor stain your country with their children's gore.
• 6:17:53
  Speaker 8: And thou the first lay down thy lawless claim, thou
• 6:17:57
  Speaker 8: of my blood, who bearest the Julian name. Another comes,
• 6:18:01
  Speaker 8: who shall in triumph ride and to the capital his
• 6:18:04
  Speaker 8: chariot guide from conquer'd Corinth, rich with Grecian spoils, And
• 6:18:09
  Speaker 8: yet another fam'd for warlike toils. On Argos shall impose
• 6:18:13
  Speaker 8: the Roman laws, and on the Greeks revenge the Trojan
• 6:18:17
  Speaker 8: cause shall drag in change their Achillean race, shall vindicate
• 6:18:21
  Speaker 8: his ancestor's disgrace and pallace for her violated place. Great
• 6:18:27
  Speaker 8: Cato there for gravity, renowned and conquering Causus goes with
• 6:18:31
  Speaker 8: laurels crowned. Who can amit the Gratchai, who declare the
• 6:18:36
  Speaker 8: Scipio's worth, those thunderbolts of war, the double bane of Carthage,
• 6:18:41
  Speaker 8: who can see without esteem for virtuous poverty, severe Fabricius,
• 6:18:46
  Speaker 8: or can cease to admire the plow and consul in
• 6:18:49
  Speaker 8: his course attire tired as I am my praise the
• 6:18:52
  Speaker 8: fabee claim, and thou great hero, greatest of thy name,
• 6:18:57
  Speaker 8: ordained in war to save the sinking state, and by
• 6:19:00
  Speaker 8: delays to put a stop to fate. Let others better
• 6:19:04
  Speaker 8: mold the running mass of metals and inform the breathing
• 6:19:07
  Speaker 8: brass and soften into flesh a marble face, plead better
• 6:19:12
  Speaker 8: at the bar, describe the skies and when the stars
• 6:19:15
  Speaker 8: descend in when they rise. But Rome tis thine alone,
• 6:19:19
  Speaker 8: with awful sway to rule mankind and make the world obey,
• 6:19:23
  Speaker 8: disposing peace and war, by thine own majestic way, to
• 6:19:27
  Speaker 8: tame the proud, the fettered slave, to free. These are
• 6:19:31
  Speaker 8: imperial arts. And worthy thee he paused, and while with
• 6:19:37
  Speaker 8: wondering eyes they viewed the passing spirits. Thus his speech renewed,
• 6:19:42
  Speaker 8: See Great Marcellus, how untired in toils he moves with
• 6:19:47
  Speaker 8: manly grace, how rich with regal spoils. He, when his
• 6:19:51
  Speaker 8: country threatened with alarms, requires his courage and his conquering arms,
• 6:19:55
  Speaker 8: shall more than once the punic band's affright shall kill
• 6:19:59
  Speaker 8: the Gaulish king in single fight, than to the capital
• 6:20:02
  Speaker 8: and triumph move, and the third spoils shall grace faritrian
• 6:20:06
  Speaker 8: jove anneas here beheld of form divine, a godlike youth
• 6:20:11
  Speaker 8: in glittering armor, shine with Great Marcellus, keeping equal pace.
• 6:20:16
  Speaker 8: But gloomy were his eyes? Dejected was his face he saw,
• 6:20:20
  Speaker 8: and wondering asked his airy guide what and of whence
• 6:20:24
  Speaker 8: was he who pressed the hero's side, his son or
• 6:20:27
  Speaker 8: one of his illustrious name, how like the former, and
• 6:20:31
  Speaker 8: almost the same. Observe the crowds that compass him around,
• 6:20:35
  Speaker 8: all gaze and all admire and raise a shouting sound,
• 6:20:39
  Speaker 8: But hovering mists around his brows are spread, and night
• 6:20:42
  Speaker 8: with sable shades involves his head. Seek not to know,
• 6:20:47
  Speaker 8: the ghost replied, with tears, the sorrows of thy sons.
• 6:20:51
  Speaker 8: In future years, this youth, the blissful vision of a day,
• 6:20:55
  Speaker 8: shall just be shown on earth and snatched away. The
• 6:20:59
  Speaker 8: gods too high had raised the Roman state, were but
• 6:21:02
  Speaker 8: their gifts as permanent as great. What groans of men
• 6:21:06
  Speaker 8: shall feel the Martian field, How fierce ablaze his flaming
• 6:21:09
  Speaker 8: pile shall yield, What funeral pomp shall flowing tib or sea,
• 6:21:14
  Speaker 8: When rising from his bed he views the sad solemnity.
• 6:21:18
  Speaker 8: No youth shall equal hopes of glory. Give no youth
• 6:21:21
  Speaker 8: afford so great a cause to grieve the Trojan honor
• 6:21:25
  Speaker 8: and the Roman boast, admired when living, and adored when lost,
• 6:21:30
  Speaker 8: mirror of ancient faith in early youth, undaunted worth, inviolable truth.
• 6:21:35
  Speaker 8: No foe unpunish'd in the fighting field shall dare thee
• 6:21:39
  Speaker 8: foot to foot with sword and shield, much less in arms,
• 6:21:42
  Speaker 8: oppose thy matchless force. When thy sharp spurs shall urge
• 6:21:46
  Speaker 8: thy foaming horse. Ah couldst thou break through fate severe decree?
• 6:21:51
  Speaker 8: A new Marcellus shall arise in thee full canisters of
• 6:21:55
  Speaker 8: fragrant lilies bring mixed with the purple roses of the
• 6:21:59
  Speaker 8: spring let me with funeral flowers his bodies strow this
• 6:22:03
  Speaker 8: gift which parents to their childrens owe, this unavailing gift,
• 6:22:07
  Speaker 8: at least I may bestow. Thus, having said, he led
• 6:22:12
  Speaker 8: the hero round the confines of the blessed Elysian ground, which,
• 6:22:17
  Speaker 8: when anchises to his son, had shown and fired his
• 6:22:20
  Speaker 8: mind to mount the promised throne. He tells the future
• 6:22:23
  Speaker 8: wars ordained by fate, the strength and customs of the
• 6:22:27
  Speaker 8: Latian state, the prince and people, and forearms his care
• 6:22:31
  Speaker 8: with rules to push his fortune or to bear Two
• 6:22:35
  Speaker 8: gates the silent house of sleep, adorn of polished ivory,
• 6:22:40
  Speaker 8: this that of transparent horn. True visions through transparent horn,
• 6:22:44
  Speaker 8: arise through polished ivory, past deluding lies of various things,
• 6:22:49
  Speaker 8: discoursing as he passed, and kises hither bends his steps.
• 6:22:53
  Speaker 8: At last, Then through the gate of ivory, he dismissed
• 6:22:58
  Speaker 8: his valiant offspring and divining guest straight to the ships
• 6:23:03
  Speaker 8: Aneas's way, embarks his men and skimm'd along the sea,
• 6:23:07
  Speaker 8: still coasting till he gained Kaijita's Bay at length on
• 6:23:12
  Speaker 8: Uzi ground. As galleys moor, their heads are turned to sea,
• 6:23:16
  Speaker 8: their sterns to shore. End of book six.
• 6:23:21
  Speaker 4: Book seven, Juno served by a fury part one, and
• 6:23:29
  Speaker 4: thou O, matron of immortal fame. Here, dying to the shore,
• 6:23:34
  Speaker 4: hast left thy name Kaijita. Still the place is called
• 6:23:39
  Speaker 4: from thee the nurse of great Eneas infancy. Here rests
• 6:23:45
  Speaker 4: thy bones, in rich hesperious plains. Thy name tis all
• 6:23:51
  Speaker 4: a ghost can have. Remains. Now, when the Prince her
• 6:23:58
  Speaker 4: funeral rites had paid, he plowed the Tyrene Seas with
• 6:24:02
  Speaker 4: sails displayed from land. A gentle breeze arose by night,
• 6:24:08
  Speaker 4: serenely shone the stars. The moon was bright, and the
• 6:24:13
  Speaker 4: sea trembled with her silver light. Now near the shelves
• 6:24:18
  Speaker 4: of Circe's shores they run Circe, the Rich, the daughter
• 6:24:23
  Speaker 4: of the Sun, a dangerous coast. The goddess wastes her
• 6:24:28
  Speaker 4: days in joyous songs. The rocks resound, her lays in
• 6:24:34
  Speaker 4: spinning or the loom she spends the night, and cedar
• 6:24:38
  Speaker 4: brands supply her father's light. From hence were heard rebellowing
• 6:24:43
  Speaker 4: to the main, the roars of lions that refused the chain,
• 6:24:48
  Speaker 4: the grunts of bristled boars, the groans of bears, and
• 6:24:53
  Speaker 4: herds of howling wolves that stunned the sailor's ears. These
• 6:24:57
  Speaker 4: from their caverns at the close of night night filled
• 6:25:00
  Speaker 4: the sad isle with horror and affright. Darkling, they mourned
• 6:25:06
  Speaker 4: their fate, whom Circe's power that watched the moon and
• 6:25:10
  Speaker 4: planetary hour with words and wicked herbs from human kind,
• 6:25:15
  Speaker 4: had altered, and in brutal shapes, confined which monsters lest
• 6:25:21
  Speaker 4: the Trojan's pious hosts should bear or touch. Upon the
• 6:25:26
  Speaker 4: enchanted coast, Propitious Neptune steered their course by night with
• 6:25:31
  Speaker 4: rising gales that sped their happy flight. Supplied with these
• 6:25:37
  Speaker 4: they skimmed the sounding shore, and here the swelling surges
• 6:25:41
  Speaker 4: vainly roar now when the rosy morn began to rise
• 6:25:46
  Speaker 4: and waved her saffron streamer through the skies. When Thedis
• 6:25:52
  Speaker 4: blushed in purple, not her own, and from her face,
• 6:25:55
  Speaker 4: the breathing winds were blown a sudden silence say upon
• 6:26:00
  Speaker 4: the sea, and sweeping oars with struggling urged their way.
• 6:26:06
  Speaker 4: The Trojan from the main beheld a wood which thick
• 6:26:11
  Speaker 4: with shades, and a brown horror stood betwixt the trees.
• 6:26:16
  Speaker 4: The Tiber took his course, with whirlpools dimpled, and with
• 6:26:21
  Speaker 4: downward force that drove the sand along. He took his
• 6:26:25
  Speaker 4: way and rolled his yellow billows to the sea about him,
• 6:26:31
  Speaker 4: and above and round the wood. The birds that haunt
• 6:26:34
  Speaker 4: the borders of his flood, that bathed within or basked
• 6:26:38
  Speaker 4: upon his side to tuneful songs, their narrow throats applied.
• 6:26:45
  Speaker 4: The captain gives command the joyful train glide through the
• 6:26:49
  Speaker 4: gloomy shade and leave the main. Now Irato thy poet's mind,
• 6:26:57
  Speaker 4: inspire and fill his soul with thy celestial fire. Relate
• 6:27:04
  Speaker 4: what Latium was Her ancient kings, declare the past and
• 6:27:10
  Speaker 4: state of things when first the trojan fleet ou Sonia sought,
• 6:27:15
  Speaker 4: and how the rivals loved, and how they fought. These
• 6:27:20
  Speaker 4: are my theme, and how the war began, and how
• 6:27:24
  Speaker 4: concluded by the godlike man. For I shall sing of battles,
• 6:27:30
  Speaker 4: blood and rage, which princes and their people did engage,
• 6:27:36
  Speaker 4: and haughty souls that moved with mutual hate in fighting
• 6:27:42
  Speaker 4: fields pursued and found their fate. That roused the tyrene
• 6:27:47
  Speaker 4: realm with loud alarms and peaceful Italy involved in arms.
• 6:27:53
  Speaker 4: A larger scene of action is displayed and rising, Hence
• 6:27:59
  Speaker 4: a greater word is weighed. Latinus, old and mild, had
• 6:28:05
  Speaker 4: long possessed the Latin scepter, and his people blessed his
• 6:28:11
  Speaker 4: father Faunas, a Laurentian dame. His mother, fair Marica, was
• 6:28:17
  Speaker 4: her name, but Fawnas came from Picus. Picus drew his
• 6:28:23
  Speaker 4: birth from Saturn. If records be true. Thus King Latinus
• 6:28:29
  Speaker 4: in the third degree had Saturn author of his family.
• 6:28:34
  Speaker 4: But this old, peaceful prince, as heaven decreed, was blest,
• 6:28:39
  Speaker 4: with no male issue to succeed. His sons in blooming
• 6:28:44
  Speaker 4: youth were snatched by fate. One only daughter aired the
• 6:28:49
  Speaker 4: royal state, fired with her love and with ambition, led
• 6:28:55
  Speaker 4: the neighboring prince's quarter nuptial bed among the crowd, but
• 6:29:00
  Speaker 4: far above the rest, young Turnus to the beauteous maid
• 6:29:04
  Speaker 4: addressed Turnus for high descent and graceful Mien was first
• 6:29:10
  Speaker 4: and favored by the Latian queen. With him, she strove
• 6:29:15
  Speaker 4: to join Lavinia's hand, but dire portents the purposed match
• 6:29:20
  Speaker 4: with stand Deep in the palace of long Growth, there
• 6:29:26
  Speaker 4: stood a Laurel's trunk, a venerable wood where rights divine
• 6:29:32
  Speaker 4: were paid whose holy hair was kept and cut with
• 6:29:36
  Speaker 4: superstitious care. This plant Latinus. When his town he walled,
• 6:29:43
  Speaker 4: then found, and from the tree Laurentum called and last,
• 6:29:49
  Speaker 4: in honor of his new abode, he vowed the Laurel
• 6:29:52
  Speaker 4: to the Laurel's god. It happened once aboding prodigy, a
• 6:29:59
  Speaker 4: swarm of bees that cut the liquid sky. Unknown from
• 6:30:03
  Speaker 4: whence they took their airy flight upon the topmost branch
• 6:30:08
  Speaker 4: in clouds alight. There with their clasping feet together clung
• 6:30:13
  Speaker 4: and a long cluster from the laurel hung, an ancient
• 6:30:18
  Speaker 4: augur prophesied. From hence behold on Latian shores, a foreign
• 6:30:26
  Speaker 4: prince from the same parts of heaven, his navy stands
• 6:30:31
  Speaker 4: to the same parts on earth, his army lands, the
• 6:30:35
  Speaker 4: town he conquers, and the tower commands yet more, When
• 6:30:42
  Speaker 4: fair Lavinia fed the fire before the gods and stood
• 6:30:46
  Speaker 4: beside her sire Strange to relate the flames involved in
• 6:30:51
  Speaker 4: smoke of incense from the sacred altar broke caught her
• 6:30:55
  Speaker 4: disheveled hair and rich attire. Her crown and jewels crackled
• 6:30:59
  Speaker 4: in fire. From thence the fuming trail began to spread
• 6:31:04
  Speaker 4: in lambent glories danced about her head. This new portent
• 6:31:10
  Speaker 4: the seer with wonder views, then pausing, thus his prophecy renews.
• 6:31:16
  Speaker 4: The nymph, who scatters flaming fires around, shall shine with honor,
• 6:31:22
  Speaker 4: Shall herself be crowned, but caused by her irrevocable fate war,
• 6:31:29
  Speaker 4: shall the country waste and change the state? Letinus, frighted
• 6:31:35
  Speaker 4: with this dire ostent for counsel to his father, Fawness,
• 6:31:39
  Speaker 4: went and sought the shades renowned for prophecy, which near
• 6:31:44
  Speaker 4: Albinia's sulfurous fountain lie. To these the Latian and the
• 6:31:50
  Speaker 4: Sabine land fly, who, in distress and thence relief demand
• 6:31:56
  Speaker 4: the priest on skins of offerings, takes his ease and
• 6:32:01
  Speaker 4: nightly visions in his slumber seas a swarm of thin
• 6:32:06
  Speaker 4: aerial shapes appears, and fluttering round his temples, deafs his ears.
• 6:32:13
  Speaker 4: These he consults and the future fates to know from
• 6:32:17
  Speaker 4: powers above and from the fiends below. Here for the
• 6:32:22
  Speaker 4: god's advice. Latinus flies, offering a hundred sheep for sacrifice.
• 6:32:28
  Speaker 4: There willy fleeces as the rites required. He lay beneath him,
• 6:32:33
  Speaker 4: and to rest retired no sooner were his eyes in
• 6:32:37
  Speaker 4: slumber bound, when from above a more than mortal sound
• 6:32:42
  Speaker 4: invades his ears. And thus the vision spoke, seek not
• 6:32:49
  Speaker 4: my seed in Latian bands to yoke our fair Lavinia,
• 6:32:55
  Speaker 4: nor the gods provoke a foreign sun upon thy shore descends,
• 6:33:01
  Speaker 4: whose martial fame from pole to pole extends his race
• 6:33:07
  Speaker 4: in arms and arts of peace renowned. Not Latiam shall contain,
• 6:33:13
  Speaker 4: nor Europe bound tis theirs, whate'er the sun surveys around
• 6:33:20
  Speaker 4: these answers in the silent night received the king himself
• 6:33:24
  Speaker 4: divulged the land believed the fame through all the neighboring
• 6:33:29
  Speaker 4: nations flew. When now the Trojan navy was in view.
• 6:33:35
  Speaker 4: Beneath the shady tree, the hero spread his table on
• 6:33:38
  Speaker 4: the turf with cakes of bread, and with his chiefs
• 6:33:42
  Speaker 4: on forest fruits. He fed They sate, and not without
• 6:33:47
  Speaker 4: the god's command, their homely fare dispatched. The hungry band
• 6:33:52
  Speaker 4: invaded their trenchers next, and soon devour to mend the
• 6:33:56
  Speaker 4: scanty meal their cakes of flower. Ascanius thus observed and
• 6:34:01
  Speaker 4: smiling said, see we devour the plates on which we fed.
• 6:34:08
  Speaker 4: The speech had omen that the Trojan race should find
• 6:34:11
  Speaker 4: repose in this the time and place. Eneas took the
• 6:34:16
  Speaker 4: word and thus replies, confessing fate with wonder in his eyes.
• 6:34:23
  Speaker 4: All hail, o Earth, All hail my household. Gods, behold
• 6:34:30
  Speaker 4: the destined place of your abodes. For thus Anchises prophesied
• 6:34:35
  Speaker 4: of old, in this our fatal place of rest, foretold,
• 6:34:40
  Speaker 4: when on a foreign shore, instead of meat, by famine
• 6:34:44
  Speaker 4: forced your trenchers, shall you eat, Then ease your weary
• 6:34:50
  Speaker 4: trojans will attend, and the long labors of your voyage end.
• 6:34:56
  Speaker 4: Remember on that happy coast to build, and with a
• 6:35:00
  Speaker 4: trench enclose the fruitful field. This was that famine, This
• 6:35:06
  Speaker 4: the fatal place which ends the wandering of our exiled race.
• 6:35:12
  Speaker 4: Then on tomorrow's dawn your care employ to search the
• 6:35:16
  Speaker 4: land in where the cities lie and what the men.
• 6:35:22
  Speaker 4: But give the state a joy. Now pour to Jove,
• 6:35:25
  Speaker 4: and after Jove is blessed, call great Anchises to the
• 6:35:29
  Speaker 4: genial feast. Crown high the goblets with a cheerful draft,
• 6:35:34
  Speaker 4: enjoy the present hour, adjourn the future thought. Thus having said,
• 6:35:41
  Speaker 4: the hero bound his brows with leafy branches, then performed
• 6:35:46
  Speaker 4: his vows, adoring first the genius of the place, then Earth,
• 6:35:50
  Speaker 4: the mother of the heavenly race, the nymphs and native
• 6:35:54
  Speaker 4: godheads yet unknown in Knight, and all the stars that
• 6:35:58
  Speaker 4: gild her sable throne, the ancient sea bell and idean Jove,
• 6:36:04
  Speaker 4: and last his sire below and Mother Queen above. Then
• 6:36:08
  Speaker 4: Heaven's high monarch thundered thrice aloud, and thrice he shook
• 6:36:12
  Speaker 4: aloft a golden cloud. Soon through the joyful camp of
• 6:36:18
  Speaker 4: Rumor flew the time was come their city to renew.
• 6:36:22
  Speaker 4: Then every brow with cheerful green is crowned. The feasts
• 6:36:27
  Speaker 4: are doubled, and the bulls go round. When next the
• 6:36:32
  Speaker 4: rosy morn disclose the day. The scouts, to several parts,
• 6:36:36
  Speaker 4: divide their way to learn the native's names. Their towns
• 6:36:40
  Speaker 4: explore the coasts and trendings of the crooked shore. Here
• 6:36:46
  Speaker 4: Tiber flows, and here Numicus stands. Here, warlike Latins hold
• 6:36:54
  Speaker 4: the happy lands. The pious chief, who sought by peaceful
• 6:36:58
  Speaker 4: ways to found his imp and his town to raise
• 6:37:03
  Speaker 4: a hundred youths from all his trains, selects and to
• 6:37:06
  Speaker 4: the Latian court. Their course directs the spacious palace where
• 6:37:11
  Speaker 4: their prince resides, and all their heads with wreaths of
• 6:37:15
  Speaker 4: olive hides. They go, commissioned to require peace and carry
• 6:37:20
  Speaker 4: presents to procure access. Thus, while they speed their pace,
• 6:37:26
  Speaker 4: the prince designs his new elected seat and draws the lines.
• 6:37:31
  Speaker 4: The trojans round the place. A rampire cast in palisades
• 6:37:35
  Speaker 4: about the trenches placed. Meantime, the train, proceeding on their
• 6:37:40
  Speaker 4: way from the far the town in lofty towers, survey
• 6:37:45
  Speaker 4: at length approach the walls. Without the gate, they see
• 6:37:50
  Speaker 4: the boys in Latian youth debate the martial prizes on
• 6:37:54
  Speaker 4: the dusty plain. Some drive the cars, and some the
• 6:37:58
  Speaker 4: courser's reign. Some bend the stubborn beau for victory, and some,
• 6:38:03
  Speaker 4: with darts their active sinews try. A posting messenger, despatched
• 6:38:09
  Speaker 4: from hence of this fair troop, advised their aged prince
• 6:38:14
  Speaker 4: that foreign men of mighty stature came, uncouth their habit,
• 6:38:19
  Speaker 4: and unknown their name. The king ordains their entrance and
• 6:38:24
  Speaker 4: ascends his regal seat, surrounded by his friends. The palace,
• 6:38:31
  Speaker 4: built by Picus, vast and proud, supported by a hundred pillars,
• 6:38:37
  Speaker 4: stood and round, encompassed with a rising wood. The pile
• 6:38:43
  Speaker 4: o'erlooked the town and drew the sight, surprised at once
• 6:38:47
  Speaker 4: with reverence and delight. There kings received the marks of
• 6:38:51
  Speaker 4: sovereign power. In state, the monarchs marched, the victors, bore
• 6:38:56
  Speaker 4: their awful axes and the rods. Before Here the tribunal
• 6:39:02
  Speaker 4: stood the house of prayer. And here the sacred senators
• 6:39:06
  Speaker 4: repair all at large tables in long order, set a
• 6:39:12
  Speaker 4: ram their offering, and a ram their meat. Above the
• 6:39:18
  Speaker 4: portal carved in cedar wood. Placed in their ranks their
• 6:39:22
  Speaker 4: godlike grandsires. Stood Old Saturn with his crooked scythe on high,
• 6:39:28
  Speaker 4: and Idoleus that led the colony, and Ancient Janus, with
• 6:39:34
  Speaker 4: his double face and a bunch of keys, the porter
• 6:39:37
  Speaker 4: of the place. There good Sabinus, planter of the vines,
• 6:39:43
  Speaker 4: on a short pruning hook. His head reclines and studiously
• 6:39:48
  Speaker 4: surveys his generous wines. Then warlike kings, who for their
• 6:39:54
  Speaker 4: country fought and honorable wounds from battle brought around the posts,
• 6:40:02
  Speaker 4: hung helmets, darts and spears, and captive chariots, axes, shields
• 6:40:10
  Speaker 4: and bars, and broken beaks of ships, the trophies of
• 6:40:15
  Speaker 4: their wars. Above the rest. As chief of all the
• 6:40:19
  Speaker 4: band was Pikeus, placed a buckler in his hand. His
• 6:40:25
  Speaker 4: other waved a long divining wand girt in his gabin gown.
• 6:40:30
  Speaker 4: The hero sate, yet could not, with his art, avoid
• 6:40:34
  Speaker 4: his fate. For Circe long had loved the youth in
• 6:40:38
  Speaker 4: vain till love refused converted to disdain. Then, mixing powerful
• 6:40:44
  Speaker 4: herbs with magic art, she changed his form, who could
• 6:40:48
  Speaker 4: not change his heart, constrained him in a bird, and
• 6:40:53
  Speaker 4: made him fly with parti colored plumes, a chattering pie
• 6:41:00
  Speaker 4: in this high temple on a chair of state, the
• 6:41:03
  Speaker 4: seat of audience o Latina's sate, and gave admission to
• 6:41:09
  Speaker 4: the Trojan train. And thus, with pleasing accents, he began,
• 6:41:15
  Speaker 4: tell me, ye, Trojans, for that name you own, Nor
• 6:41:19
  Speaker 4: is your course upon our coasts unknown? Say what you seek?
• 6:41:25
  Speaker 4: And whither were you bound? Were you by stress of weather?
• 6:41:29
  Speaker 4: Cast aground? Such dangers as on seas are often seen,
• 6:41:34
  Speaker 4: and oft befall to miserable men, are come your shipping
• 6:41:41
  Speaker 4: in our ports de lay spent and disabled in so
• 6:41:44
  Speaker 4: long a way. Say what you want, the Latians you
• 6:41:49
  Speaker 4: shall find not forced to goodness, but by will inclined.
• 6:41:55
  Speaker 4: For since the time of Saturn's holy reign his hospitable customs,
• 6:41:59
  Speaker 4: we reach i call to mind, but time the tale
• 6:42:04
  Speaker 4: has worn. The Urunki told that Dardanus, though born on
• 6:42:08
  Speaker 4: Latian plains, yet sought the Phrygian shore and Samothracia Seimus called.
• 6:42:15
  Speaker 4: Before from Tuscan curatum, he claimed his birth, but after,
• 6:42:21
  Speaker 4: when exempt from mortal earth, from thence ascended to his
• 6:42:25
  Speaker 4: kindred skies a god, and as a god augments their
• 6:42:30
  Speaker 4: sacrifice
