  Speaker 1: Recording by Philip Jevons. The Inneared by Publius Vigilius Marrow,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: translated by John Dryden, Book ten, The Death of Princes,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Part one. The gates of heaven are unfold. Jove summons
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: all the gods to counsel in the common hall. Sublimely seated,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: he surveys from far the fields, the camp, the fortune
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of the war, and all the inferior world, from first
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to last the sovereign senate in degrees are placed. Then
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: thus the Almighty Sire began ye gods, natives or denizens
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of blessed abodes. From whence these murmurs, and this change
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of mind, this backward fate, from what was first designed?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Why this protracted war? When my commands pronounced a peace
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and gave the Latin lance. What fear or hope on
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: either part divides our heavens and arms our powers on
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: different sides? A lawful time of war at length will come,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Nor need your haste anticipate the doom. When Carthage shall
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: contend the world with Rome, shall force the rigid rocks
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and alpine chains, and like a flood come pouring on
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the plains. Then is your time for faction and debate,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: for partial favor and permitted hate. Let now your immature dissension, cease,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: sit quiet, and compose your souls to peace. Thus, Jupiter
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in few unfolds the charge. But lovely Venus thus replies
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: at large, O power, immense eternal energy. For to what
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: else protection can we fly? Seest thou the proud Rutulians,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: how they dare in fields unpunished and insult my care.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: A lofty turner's vaunts amid his train in shining arms,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: triumphant on the plain. Even in their lines and trenches
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they can tend and scarce their walls. The Trojan troops defend.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: The town is filled with slaughter and afloats with a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: red deluge. Their increasing motes eneas ignorant and far from
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Thence has left a camp exposed without defense. This endless
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: outrage shall they still sustain? Shall Troy renewed be forced
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and fired again? A second siege? My banished issue fears
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and a new Diomede in arms appears one more audacious
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: mortal will be found, and I, thy daughter wait another wound. Yet,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: if with fates averse, without thy leave the Latin lands,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: my progeny receive, bear they the pains of violated law,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and thy protection from their aid withdraw. But if the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: gods their sure success for Hotel, if those of Heaven
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: consent with those of Hell to promise Italy, who dare
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: debate the power of Jove or fix another fate? What
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: should I tell of tempests on the main of earless
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: usurping Neptune's reign of Iris, sent with Bacchanalian heat to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: inspire the Matrons and destroy the fleet. Now Juno to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the Stygian sky descends, solicits Hell for aid and arms
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the fiends. That new example wanted. Yet above an act
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that well became the wife of Jove. Alecto raised by
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: her with rage inflames the peaceful bosoms of the Latin
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: dames imperial sway no more exalts my mind such hopes
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I had, Indeed, while Heaven was kind. Now let my
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: happier foes possess my place, whom Jove prefers before the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Trojan race and conquer they whom you with conquest grace,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: since you can spare from all your wide command, no
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: spot of earth, no hospitable land, which may my wandering
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: fugitives receive. Since haughty Juno will not give you leave, Then, Father,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: if I still may use that name by ruined Troy,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: yet smoking from the flame, I beg you, let Ascanius,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: by my care, be freed from danger and dismiss the war. Inglorious,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: let him live without a crown. The father may be
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: cast on coasts unknown, struggling with fate. But let me
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: save the sun mine is clithera mine, the Cyprian towers,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in those recesses, and those sacred bowers obscurely let him
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: rest his right, resigned to promised empire and his Julian line.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Then Carthage, may the Arsonian towns destroy, nor fear the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: race of a rejected boy. What profits it my son
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to escape the fire, armed with his gods and loaded
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: with his sire, to pass the perils of the seas,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and wind evade the Greeks, and leave the war behind
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to reach the Italian shores. If, after all, our second
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Pergamus is doomed to fall, much better had he curbed
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: his high desires and hovered o'er his ill extinguished fires
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to Simois banks the fugitives restore and give them back
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to war and all the woes before. Deep indignation swelled
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Saturnia's heart, And must I own? She said, my secret? Smart,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: what with more decence were in silence kept? And but
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: for this unjust reproach had slept? Did God or Man
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: your favorite son advise with war unhoped the Latians to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: surprise by fate, you boast, and by the God's decree
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he left his native land for Italy. Fess the truth
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: by mad Cassandra, more than heaven inspired he sought of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: foreign shore. Did I persuade to trust his second troy
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to the raw conduct of a beardless boy with walls unfinished,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: which himself forsakes and through the waves a wandering voyage takes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: When have I urged him meanly to demand the Tuscan
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: aid and arm a quiet land? Did I or Iris
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: give this mad advice? Or made the fool himself the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: fatal choice? You think it hard? The Latians should destroy
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: with swords your trojans and with fires your troy. Hard
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and unjust. Indeed, for men to draw their native air,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: nor take a foreign law that Turnus has permitted still
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to live, to whom his birth a God and goddess give.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: But yet is just and lawful for your line to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: drive their fields, and false with fraud to join realms
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: not your own among your clans, divide, and from the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: bridegroom tear the promised bride petition. While you public arms prepare,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: pretend a peace, and yet provoke a war. Twas given
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to you, your darling son, to shroud, to draw the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: dustard from the fighting crowd, and for a man attend
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: an empty cloud from flaming fleets. You turned the fire
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: away and changed the ships to daughters of the sea.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But is my crime? The Queen of Heaven offends if
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: she presumed to save her suffering friends. Your son, not
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: knowing what his foes decree, you say, is absent. Absent,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Let him be yours? Is Kythera yours? The Cyprian towers,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the soft recesses, and the sacred bowers. Why do you, then,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: these needless arms, prepare and thus provoke a people to war?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Did I with fire the trojan town deface or hinder
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: from return your exiled race was I the cause of mischief,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: or the man whose lawless lust the fatal war began.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Think on whose faith the adulterous youth relied, who promised,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: who procured the spartan bride? When all the United States
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of Greece combined to purge the world of the perfidious kind,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: then was your time to fear the Trojan fate. Your
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: quarrels and complaints are now too late. Thus, Duno murmurs
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: rise with mixed applause, just as they favor or dislike
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the cause. So winds, when yet unfledged in woods, they
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: lie in whispers. First their tender voices try then issue
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: on the main with bellowing rage and storms to trembling
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: mariners presage. Then thus to both, replied the imperial God,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: who shakes Heaven's axles with his awfulness when he begins.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: The silent Senate stand with reverence, listening to the dread command.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The clouds dispel, the winds their breath restrain, and the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: hushed waves lie flattered on the main celestials. Your attentive
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: ears incline. Since said the God, the Trojans must not
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: join in wished alliance with the Latin line. Since endless
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: jarrings and immortal hate tend but to discompose our happy state.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: The war henceforward be resigned to fate. Each to his
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: proper fortune, stand or fall, equal and unconcerned. I look
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: on all Retulians Trojans are the same to me, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: both shall draw the lots their fates decree. Let these assault,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: if fortune be their friend, and if she favors those,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: let those defend. The fates will find their way. The
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: thunder said, and shook the sacred honors of his head,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: attesting sticks the inviolable flood, and the black regions of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: his brother God trembled the poles of heaven and Earth,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: confessed the nod. This end. The Sessions had the Senate rise,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and to his palace wait their sovereign through the skies meantime,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: intent upon their siege the foes within their walls, the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Trojan host inclose, they wound, they kill, They watch at
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: every gate, renew the fires, and urge their happy fate.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: The Aeneans wish in vain their wonted chief, hopeless of flight,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: more hopeless of relief. Thin on the towers they stand,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and even those few a feeble, fainting and dejected crew.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yet in the face of danger some there stood the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: two bold brothers of Sarpedon's blood, Asseus and Acmon, both
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the Asarachi young Heemon, and though young, resolved to die.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: With these were Clarus and Thymoites, joined Tibris and Castor,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: both of Lycian kind. From Acmon's hands a rolling stone
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: there came so large it half deserved a mountain's name. Strong, sinewed,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was the youth and big of bone. His brother Nestus
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: could not more have done, or the great father of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the intrepid son. Some firebrands throw, some flights of arrows send,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and some with darts, and some with stones defend amid
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the press appears the beauteous boy, the care of Venus
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and the hope of Troy. His lovely face unarmed, his
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: head was bare in ringlets. Over his shoulders hung his hair,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: his forehead circled with a diadem. Distinguished from the crowd.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He shines a gem in chaste, in gold or polished ivory.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Set amidst the meaner foil of sable jet nor Ismarus
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: was wanting to the war, directing pointed arrows from Afar
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and death with poison armed in lydiaborn, where plenty of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: harvests the fat fields a dawn, where proud Pactolus floats
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the fruitful lands and leaves a rich manure of golden sands.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: There CAPPIs author of the Capuan name, and there was
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Nestheus too, increased in fame, since turners from the camp
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: he cast with shame. Thus mortal war was waged on
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: either side. Meantime, the hero cut the knightly tide for
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: anxious from a vander. When he went, he sought the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Tyrian camp, and Tarcon's tent exposed the cause of coming
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to the chief his name and country, told and asked relief,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: proposed the terms his own small strength, declared what vengeance
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: proud Mezentius had prepared, what turnus, bold and violent designed,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: then showed the slippery state of human kind, and fickle
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: fortune warned him to beware, And to his wholesome counsel
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: added prayer. Tarcon, without delay the treaty signs, and to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the Trojan troops the Tuscan joins. They soon set sail.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Nor Now the fates withstand their forces. Trusted with a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: foreign hand, Eneus leads upon his stern appear two lions
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: carved which rising Ida bear Ida to wandering Trojans, ever
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: deer under their grateful shade. Eneas sat revolving war's events
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and various fate, his left young pallace kept fixed to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: his side, and oft of winds inquired, and of the tide,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: oft of the stars, and of their watery way, and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: what he suffered both by land and sea. Now, sacred sisters,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: open all your spring. The Tuscan leaders and their army sing,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: which followed greatern ears to the war. Their arms, their numbers,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and their names declare a thousand youths brave massacres obey
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: borne in the Tiger, through the foaming sea from Asium,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: brought and Kosa by his care for arms, light quivers,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: bows and shafts, they bear fierce abbas next his men,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: bright armor, war his stern. Apollo's golden statue bore six
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: hundred Populonia sent along all skilled in martial exercise and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: strong three hundred more for battle. Ilva joins an isle
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: renowned for steel and unexhausted mines, as Silas on his prow.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: The third appears, who heaven interprets, and the wandering stars
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: from offer'd entrails, prodigies, expounds, and peals of thunder with
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: presaging sounds. A thousand spears in warlike order stand sent
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: by the peasants under his command. Fair Astir follows in
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the watery field, proud of his managed horse and painted shield,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: gravisca noissome from the neighb'ring Fen and his own chire,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: sent three hundred men, with those which minnows feels and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: pergy gave, all bred in arms unanimous and brave thou
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: muse the name of sinniras renew and brave Cupavo followed,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: but by few, whose helm confessed the lineage of the man,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and bore with wings displayed a silver swan. Love was
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the fault of his famed ancestry, whose forms and fortunes
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: in his ensigns fly for Kyknus loved unhappy Phyaton and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: sung his loss in poplar groves alone beneath the sister
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: shades to soothe his grief. Heaven heard his song and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: hastened his relief, and changed to snowy plumes his hoary hair,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and wing'd his flight to chant Aloft. In air. His
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: son Coupavo brush'd the briny flood. Upon his stern, A
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: brawny centaur stood, who heaved a rock and threatening still
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to throw with lifting hands, alarmed the seas below. They
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: seemed to fear the formidable sight and rolled their billows
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: on to speed his flight. Ocnus was next, who led
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: his native train of hardy warriors through the watery plain
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the sun of Manto by the Tuscan stream, from whence
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the Mantuan town derives the name. An ancient city, but
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of mixed descent. Three several tribes composed the government. Four
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: towns are under each, but all obey the Manchuan laws
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and own the Tuscan sway. Hate to Mezentius, armed five
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: hundred more, whom Mincius from his sire Benacus bore. Minchius
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: with wreaths of reeds, his forehead coverdur these grave aulites,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: leads a hundred sweep with stretching oars. At once the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: glassy deep him and his marshal train. The triton bears
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: high on his poop. The sea green guard appears frowning.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He seems his crooked shell to sound, and at the blast,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the billows dance around a hairy man above the waist,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: he shows a paupoised tail beneath his belly grows and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: ends a fish his breast. The waves divides, and froth
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and foam augment the murmuring tides. Full thirty ships transport
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the chosen train for Troy's relief and scour. The briny
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Maine now was the world forsaken by the sun, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: phoebe half her nightly race had run the careful chief,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: who never closed his eyes himself. The rudder holds the sails,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: supplies a choir of nereids met him on the flood,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: once his own galleys hewn from Ida's wood. But now
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: as many nymphs the sea, they sweep as rode before
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: tall vessels on the deep. They know him from Afar,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and in a ring inclose the ship that bore the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Trojan King. Commodesty, whose voice selled the rest above the waves,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: advanced her snowy breast. Her right hand stops the stern,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: her left divides the curling ocean and corrects the tides.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: She spoke for all the choir, and thus began with
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: pleasing words to warn the unknowing man. Sleeps our loved Lord,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: our goddess born awake, spread every sail, pursue your watery track,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and haste your course your navy. Once were we from
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Ida's height, descending to the sea, till turn us as
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: at anchor fixed we stood, presumed to violate our holy wood.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Then loosed from shore, we fled his fires profane unwillingly,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: we broke our master's chain, and since have sought you
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: through the Tuscan main. The Mighty Mother changed our forms
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to these, and gave us life immortal in the seas.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: But young Ascanius, in his camp, distressed by your insulting foes,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: is hardly pressed. The Arcadian hall horseman and a Trurian
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: host advance in order on the Latian coast to cut
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: their way. The Dawnian chief designs before their troops can
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: reach the Trojan lines. Thou, when the rosy morn restores
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the light, first arm thy soldiers for the ensuing fight.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Thyself the fated sword of Vulcan. Wield and bear aloft
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the impenetrable shield to Morrow's sun. Unless my skill be vain,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: shall see huge heaps of foes in battle. Slain parting,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: she spoke, and with immortal force, pushed on the vessel
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: in her watery course, for well she knew the way.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Impelled behind, the ship flew forward and outstripped the wind.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: The rest make up unknowing of the cause. The chief
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: admires their speed, and happy omens draws. Then thus he
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: prayed and fixed on heaven his eyes. Here thou, great
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: mother of the deities. With turrets crown on Ida's holy hill.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Fierce tigers reigned and curved. Obey thy will, firm, thy
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: own omens, lead us on to fight, and let thy
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Phrygians conquer in thy right. He said no more, And
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: now renewing day had chased the shadows of the night away.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: He charged the soldiers with preventing care, their flags to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: follow and their arms prepare warned of the ensuing fight,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and badam Hope the war Now his lofty poop he
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: viewed below, his camp encompassed, and the enclosing foe. His
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: blazing shield embraced, he held on high. The camp received
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the sign, and with loud shouts reply Hope arms their
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: courage from their towers. They throw their darts with double
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: force and drive the foe. Thus, at the signal given,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the cranes arise before the stormy south and blacken all
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the skies. King Turners wondered at the fight renewed. Looking
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: back the Trojan fleet, he viewed the seas with swelling
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: canvas covered o'er and the swift ships descending on the shore.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: The Latians saw from far with dazzled eyes, the radiant
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: crest that seemed in flames to rise and dart, diffusive
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: fires around the field, and the keen glittering of the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: golden shield, thus threatening comets, when by night they rise,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: shoot sanguine streams and sadden all the skies. So Sirius,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: flashing forth sinister lights, pale human kind with plagues and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: with dry famine fright. Yet Turnus, with undaunted mind, is
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: bent to man the shores and hinder their descent, and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: thus awakes the courage of his friends. What you so
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: long have wished. Kind fortune sends in ardent arms to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: meet the invading foe. You find and find him at advantage.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Now yours is the day you need, But only dare
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: All swords will make you masters of the war. Your sires,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: your sons, your houses, and your lands and dearest wives
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: are all within your hands. Be mindful of the race.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: From whence you came and emulate in arms your father's fame.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Now take the time while staggering. Yet they stand with
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: feet unfirm and prepossessed. The strand. Fortune befriends the bold.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: No more, he said, but balanced whom to leave and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: whom to lead. Then these elects the landing to prevent,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and those he leaves to keep the city pent. Meantime,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the trojan sends his troops ashore. Some are by boats,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: exposed by bridges. More with laboring oars, they bear along
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the strand where the tide languishes, and leap a land.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Tarkon observes the coast with careful eyes, and where no
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: ford he finds no water, fries nor billows. With unequal
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: murmurs roar, but smoothly slide along and swell the shore.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: That course he steered, and thus he gave command. Here
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: ply your oars, and at all hazard land force on
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the vessel, that her keel may wound this hated soil
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and furrow hostile ground. Let me securely, land, I ask
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: no more, then sink my ships or shatter on the shore.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: This fiery speech inflames his fearful friends. They tug at
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: every oar and every stretcher bends, they run their ships aground.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: The vessels knock, thus forced ashore and tremble with the shock.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Tarkan's alone was lost. That stranded, stood stuck on a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: bank and beaten by the flood, she breaks her back.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: The loosened sides give way and plunge. The Tuscan soldiers
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: in the sea, their broken oars and floating planks withstand
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: their passage while they labor to the land and ebbing
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: tides bare back upon the uncertain sand. Now turn, Zanus
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: leads his troops without delay, advancing to the margin of
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the sea. The trumpets sound. Eneus first assailed the clowns,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: new raised and roar, and soon prevailed. Great Theiron Fell,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: an omen of the fight. Great Theiron, large of limbs,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of giant height. He first in open fields defied the prince,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: But armor scaled with gold was no defense against the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: fated sword, which opened wide his plated shield and pierced
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: his naked side. Next lycas Fell, who not like others born,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: was from his wretched mother, ripped and torn sacred o
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Phoebus from his birth to thee for his beginning life
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: from biting steel, was free. Not far from him was
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Caius laid along of monstrous bulk with Kisseus, fierce and strong,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: vain bulk and strength, for when the chief assailed, nor Valor,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: nor Herculean arms availed no or their famed father won't
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: in war to go with great Alcides. When he toiled
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: below the noisy Pharos next received his death. Eneus writhed
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: his dart and stopped his bawling breath. Then wretched Sidon
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: had received his doom, who courted Clytius in his beardless bloom,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and sought with lust obscene, polluted joys. The Trojan's sword
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: had cured his love of boys, had not his seven
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: bold brethren stopped the course of the fierce champions with
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: united force. Seven darts were thrown at once, and some
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: rebound from his bright shield, some on his helmet sound.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: The rest had reached him, but his mother's care prevented
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: those and turned aside in air. The prince then called
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: acarts to supply the spears that knew the way to victory.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Those fatal weapons which inured to blood in Grecian bodies.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Under Ilium's stood. Not one of those my hand shall
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: toss in vain against our foes on this contented plain,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: he said, then seized a mighty spear, and through which
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: winged with fate through Mayon's buckler flew, pierced all the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: brazen plates and reached his heart. He staggered with intolerable
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: smart al canor saw and reached, but reached in vain.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: His helping hand his brother to sustain a second spear,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: which kept the former course from the same hand, and
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: sent with equal force his right arm pierced and holding
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: on bereft his use of both, and pinioned down his left.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Then numator from his dead brother, drew the aloned spear
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and at the trojan, through preventing Fate direct the lance away,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: which glancing only marked a Carti's thigh. In pride of youth,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the sabine Claususk came and from afar at dryops took
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: his aim. The spear flew hissing through the middle space
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and pierced his throat, directed at his face. It stopped
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: at once the passage of his wind, and the free
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: soul to flitting air resigned. His forehead was the first
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: that struck the ground. Life blood and life rushed mingled
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: through the wound. He slew three brothers of the Boian race,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and three whom Ismarus, their native place had sent to war,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: But all the sons of thrace hellisus. Next, the bold
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Aurunki leads the son of Neptune to his aide, succeeds
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: conspicuous on his horse. On either hand, these fight to
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: keep and those to win the land with mutual blood.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: The Arsonian soil is dyed, while on its borders each
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: their claimed aside as wintry winds contending in the sky
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: with equal force of lungs, their titles try, They rage,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: they roar, the doubtful rack of heaven stands without motion,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and the tide undriven. Each bent to conquer, neither side
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: to yield. They long suspend the fortune of the field.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Both armies thus perform what courage can foot, set to foot,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and mingled man to man. But in another part, the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Arcadian horse, with ill success, engaged the Latin force. For
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: where the impetuous torrent, rushing down huge craggy stones and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: rooted trees, had thrown, they left their courses, and, unused
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: to fight on foot, were scattered in a shameful flight. Pallas,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: who with disdain and grief had viewed his foes pursuing,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and his friends pursued, used threatenings mixed with prayers, his
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: last resource, with these to move their minds, and those
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to fire their force. Which way, companions, whither would you run?
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: By you yourselves and mighty bas won by my great sire,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: by his established name and early promise of my future fame,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: by my youth emulus of equal right to share his honors.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Shun ignoble flight, Trust not your feet. Your hands must
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: hew way through yon black body, and that thicker ray
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: tis through that forward path that we must come. There
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: lies our way, and that our passage home, nor powers above,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: nor destinies below oppress our arms. With equal strength, we
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: go with mortal hands to meet a mortal foe. See
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: on what foot we stand? A scanty shore the sea
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: behind our enemies before, no passage left unless we swim
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the mane or forcing these the trojan trenches. Gain this?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Said He strode with eager haste along and bore amidst
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the thickest of the throng lagas the first he met
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: with fate to foe. Had heaved a stone of mighty
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: weight to throw stew the spear descended on his chine,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: just where the bone distinguished either loin it stuck so fast,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: so deeply buried lay that scarce. The victor forced the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: steel away. His bond came on, but while he moved
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: too slow to wish to revenge, the prince prevents his blow,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: for warding his at once. At once he pressed and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: plunged the fatal weapon in his breast. Then Lewde and Kemelus,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: he laid in dust, who stained his step dam's bed
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: with impious lust, and after him the Dauchian twins were slain,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Laris and Thimbrous on the Latan plane, so wondrous like
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: in feature, shape and size, as caused an error in
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: her parent's eyes. Grateful mistake. But soon the sword decides
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the nice distinction, and their fate divides. For Thimbro's head
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: was lopped and Laris's hand dismembered, sought its owner on
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the strand the trembling fingers. Yet the Photian strain and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: threatened still the intended stroke in vain now to renew
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the charge. The Arcadians came sight of such acts, and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: sense of honest shame and grief with anger mixed their
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: minds in flame then with a casual blow was Roitius slain,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: who chanced as Pallas threw to cross the plain. The
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: flying spear was after Eylas sent, but Roitius happened on
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a death unment from Toeythrus and from Tyrees. While he
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: fled the lance athwart his body laid him dead, rolled
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: from his chariot with a mortal wound, and intercepted fate.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: He spurned the ground, as when in summer, welcome winds
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: arise the watchful shepherd to the forest flies and fires
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the midmost plants. Contagion spreads and catching flames infect the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: neighboring heads around the forest flies, the furious blood Us
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and all the leafy nation sinks at last, and Vulcan
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: rides in triumph for the waist. The pastor, pleased with
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: his dire victory, beholds the satiate flames in sheets ascend
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the sky. So Pallas troops, their scattered strength, unite and
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: pouring on their foes their prince delight. Hallasus came fierce
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: with desire of blood, but first collected in his arms,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: he stood advancing. Then he plied the spear so well
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: laid on Demodocus and fairies fell around his head. He
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: tossed his glittering brand, and from strimonious hewed his better hand,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: held up to guard his throat, then hurl a stone
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: at TOAs ample front and pierced the bone. It struck
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: beneath the space of either eye and blood, and mingled
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: brains together fly deep, Skilled in future fates, Helasis sired
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: with the youth to lonely groves retire. But when the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: father's mortal race was run dire, Destiny laid hold upon
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the sun and hauled him to the war to find
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: beneath the Avandrean spear a memorable death. Pallas the encounter seeks,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: but ere he throws to Tuscan. Tiber thus addressed his vows,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: our sacred stream, direct my flying dart, and give to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: pass the proud Hellasius heart, his arms and spoils thy
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: holy oak shall bear pleased with the bribe, the god
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: received his prayer, for while his shield protects a friend distressed,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the dart came driving on and pierced his breast. But Lausus,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: no small portion of the war permits not panic fear
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: to reign too far, caused by the death of so
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: renowned a knight, but by his own example cheers the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: fight fierce. Abbas first he slew Abbas the stay of
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Trojan hopes and his nindrance of the day. The Phrygian
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: troops escaped the Greeks in vain. They and their mixed
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: allies now load the plane to the rude shock of war.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Both armies came, their leaders equal and their strength the same.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: The rear so pressed the front they could not wield
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: their angry weapons to dispute the field. Here Pallas urges
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: On and lous Us, there of equal youth and beauty,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: both appear, But both, by fate forbid to breathe their
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: native air. Their congress in the field great Jove withstands.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Both doomed to fall, but fall by greater hands. End
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: of Book ten, Part one,
