  Speaker 1: Reading by lash Orlando The Enid by Poblius Virgilius Marrow,

  Speaker 1: translated by John Dryden, Book nine, A night thirty a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: day Assault, Part two. But far they had not passed
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: before they spied three hundred horse with valzens for their guide.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: The queen a legian too king turner's scent, But the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: swift horse, the slower foot prevent and now advancing, sought
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the leader's tend. They saw the pair for throw the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: doubtful shade his shining helm. Everylis betrayed on which the moon,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: with full reflection played, tis not for nought, cried Walzens
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: from the crowd. These men go there, then raised his
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: voice aloud, stand stand why thus in arms and wither
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: bent from whence to whom? And on what ERRM sent silent?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They scud away and hazed their flight to neighboring woods,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and trust themselves to night. The speedy horse all passages
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: belay and spur their smoking steeds to cross their way
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and watch each entrance of the winding wood. Black was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the forest, thick with speech. It stood horrid with fern,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and intricate with thorn. Few paths of human feet or
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: tracks of beasts were born the darkness.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Of the shades.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: His heavy prey and fear mislid the younger from his way.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But Nus hit the turns with happier haste and thoughtless
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of his friend. The forest passed an alban place from
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Alva's names are called, where King Latinus then his oxen
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: stalled till turning at the length, He stood his ground
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and missed his friend, and cast his eyes around. Ah wretch,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: She cried, where have I left behind the unhappy youth?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Where shall I hope to find? Or what way take?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Again?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: He ventures back and treads the maces of his former track.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: He winds the wood, and listening, hears the noise of tramping.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Courses and the rider's voice.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The sound approached, and suddenly he viewed the foes enclosing,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and his friend pursued forelaid untaken, while he strew in
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: vain the shelter of the friendly shades to gain What
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: should he next attempt?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: What arms employer?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: What fruitless force to free the captive boy, or desperate,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: should he rush and lose his life with odds suppressed
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in such unequal strive. Resolved at length his pointed spear,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: he shook, and, casting on the moon a mournful look,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Guardian of grows and goddess of the knight, Fair queen,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: he said, direct my dart aright, if ever my peous father,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: for my sake did grateful offerings on thy altars, make
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: or I increased them with my Sylvan's toils, and hung
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: thy holy roofs with savage spoils, give me to scatter these.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Then from his ear he poised and aim'd and launched
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the trembling spear, the deadly weapon. He sing from the grove,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: impetuous on the back of Sulmu drove, pierced his thin armor,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: drank his vital blood, and in his body left the broken,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: his staggers round his eyeballs, roll in death, and with
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: short sobs he gasped away his breath, all stand amazed.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: A second javelin flies with equal strength and quivers through
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the skies, This through thy temples. Targus forced the way
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and in the brain pan warmly barried, lay fierce Walsen's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: foams with rage and gazing round, descried not him who
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: gave the fatal wound, nor knew to fix revenge, but thou,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: he cries, shalt pay for both, And at the prisoner
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: flies with his strong sword. Then struck with deep despair
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that cruel sight the lover could not bear. But from
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: his cowart rush'd in open view and sent his voice
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: before him. As he flew me me, he cried, turn
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: all your swords alone on me the fact confess'd the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: fault my own. He neither could nor durst. The guiltless youth,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: yem moon and stars bear witness to the truth. His
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: only crime, if friendship can offend, is too much love
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to this unhappy friend too late, he speaks, the sword
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: which fury guides, driven with full forth, had pierced his
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: tender sides down, fell the beauteous youth. The yawning wound
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: gushed out a purple stream and stained the ground. His
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: snowy neck reclines upon his breast like a fair flower
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: by the keen share, oppressed like a white poppy sinking
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on the plain, whose heavy head is overcharged with rain, despair, enraged,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and vengeance justly wout drew Nisus headlong on the hostile
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: crowd volsons he seeks on him alone, he bends, borne
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: back and bored by his surrounding friends. Onward he pressed
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and kept still in sight, then whirled aloft his sword
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: with all his might. The unerring steel descended while he spoke,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: peered his wide mouth and throw his weazon broke, dyeing
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: his slew and staggering on the plain with swimming eyes,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: he sought his lover slain. Then quiet on his bleeding
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Bosom fell content in death to be revenged. So well, O,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: happy friends, for if my verse can give immortal life,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: your fame shall ever live, fixed as the capital's foundation lies,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and spread wherever the Roman eagle flies. The conquering party
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: first divide the prey, then their slain leader to the camp,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: convey with wonder as they went. The troops were filled
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to see such numbers whom so few had killed. Serranus Rumnus,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and the rest They found vast crowds, the dying and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the dead surround, and the yet reeking blood o'erfrowes the ground.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Or knew the helmet which Messapus lost, but mourned a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: purchase that so dear had cost. Now rose the ruddy
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: morn from Teeton's bed, and with the dawn of day
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the skies o'erspread, nor long the sun his daily course withheld,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but added colors to the world. Reveal'd when Earthly Turnus,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: wakening with the light, all clad in armor, caused his
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: troops to fight his martial men with fierce harangue. He fired,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and his own ardor in their souls, inspired this doun
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to give new terrors to his foes. The heads of
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Nisus and his friends he shows, rais'd high on point
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to spears, a ghastly sight, loud peals of shouts, enshoe,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and barbarous delight. Meantime, the Troyans run where danger calls.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: They lined their trenches, and they manned their walls. In front,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: extended to the left, they stood safe. Was the right
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: surrounded by the flood, but casting from their towers a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: frightful view, they saw the faces which too well they knew,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: though then disguised in death and smear'd all over with filth,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: obscene and dropping putrid gore. Soon hasty fame through the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: sad city bears the mournful messages to the mother's ears.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: An icy cold benumbs her limbs. She shakes her cheeks,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the blood her hand, the web forsakes. She runs the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: rampires round amidst the war, nor fearce the flying darts.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: She rends her hair and fills with loud laments the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: liquid air. Thus, then my lov'd every garlas appears. Thus
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: looks the prop my declining years was on this face,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: my famished eyes. I fed, Oh, how unlike the living.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Is the dead?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And couldst thou leave me cruel? Thus alone? Not one
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: kind kiss from a departing son, No look, no last adieu.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Before he went an ill boding hour to slaughter, send
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: cold on the ground, and pressing foreign clay, to LARTs,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: young dogs and fowls. He lies a prey. Nor was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I near to close his dying eyes, to wash his wounds,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to weep his obsequies, to call about his corpse, his
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: crying friends, or spread the mantle made for other ends
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: on his dear body, which I woe with care. Nor
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: did my daily pains or knightly labor spare. Where shall
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I find his corpse? What earth sustains his trunk is
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: meant and his cold remains for this alas I left
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: my needful ease, expos'd my life to winds and winter seas.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: If any pity touch Rutulian hearts here, empty all your quivers,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: all your darts, or if they fail, thou jove, conclude
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: my woe and send me thunderstructor shades below her shrieks
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and clamors pierced the tryant's ears, unman their courage and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: augment their fears. Nor young Ascanius could the sight sustain,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: nor old Ileonius his tears restrain. But actor enideous jointly
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: send to bear the madding mother to her tent. And
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: now the trumpets terribly from far, with rattling clangor rose
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the sleepy war. The soldiers shout succeed the brazen sounds,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and heaven. From pole to pole the noise rebounds. The
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Volcians bare their shields upon their head, and rushing forward,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: form a moving shed. These filled the ditch, those pulled
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the bulwarks down, some raise the ladders, others scaled the town.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: But where voyage spaces on the walls appear, or thin defense,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: they pour their forces there with pools and missive weapons.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: From afar the tryants skeep aloof the rising war. Taught
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: by their ten years seek defensive fight. They rolled down
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: ribs of rocks, an unresisted white, to break the pentas
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: with a ponderous blow with Yet the patient Volcians undergo,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: but could not bear the unequal combat long. For where
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the Tryants find the thickst strong, the ruined falls, their
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: shutter shields give way, and their crushed heads come an
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: easy prey. They shrink, for fear, abated of the rage,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: no longer dare in a blind fight. Engage contended now
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to gall them from below with darts and slings, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: with a distant bow elsewhere. Missentious terrible to view a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: blazing pine within the trenches through but brave Messapus Neptun's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: warlike sun broke down the palisades, the trenches one and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: lowed for ladders. Calls to scale the town, calliope, begin
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: ye sacred nine. Inspire your poet in his high design
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to sing what slaughter Mandy Turnus made? What souls he
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: sent below the Stygian shade, What fame the soldiers with
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: their captain's share, and the vast circuit of the fatal
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: wear For you in singing martial facts. Ex cell you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: best remember, and alone can tell there stood a tower
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: amazing to the site, built up of beams and of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: stupendous height. Art and the nature of the place conspired
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to furnish all the strength that war.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Required to level this.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: The bold Italians join the wary Troyants, obviate their design
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: with weighty stones, overwhelmed their troops below, shoot through the loopholes,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and sharp javelin's throw turnus. The chief tossed from his
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: thundering hand against the wooden walls. A flaming brand. It
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: struck the fiery plague. The winds were high, the planks
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: were seasoned, and the timber dry contagion caught the posts.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: It spread along, scorch'd and to distance drew the scattered throng.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: The Troyans fled. The fire pursued a maine, still gathering
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: fast upon the trembling train, till crowding to the corners
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of the wall. Down the defense, and the defenders fall.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The mighty floor makes Heaven itself resound. The dead and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: dying Troyans strew the ground. The tower that followed on
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the fallen crew wolmed over their heads and buried whom
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: it slew. Some struck upon the darts themselves had sent
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: all the same equal ruin underwent young Licus and Helener.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Only escape saved, how they know not from the steep
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: be leap. Helener, elder of the two by birth on
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: one side, royal one, son of Earth, whom to the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Lydian king Licymnia bear and sent her boasted bastard to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the wear a privilege which none but freemen share. Slight
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: were his arms, a sword and silver shield, no marks
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: of honor charged its empty feel light. As he fell,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: so light the youth arose, and rising, found himself amidst
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: his foes. Nor flight was left, nor hopes to force
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: his way. Embolded by despair, he stood at bay, and,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: like a stag whom all the troops surrounds, o eager
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: huntsman and invading hounds. Resolved on death, he dissipates his
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: fears and bounds aloft against the pointed spears. So dares
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the youth, secure of death, and throws his dying body
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: on his thickest foes, But leek as swifter on his
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: feet by far, runs, doubles, winds, and turns amidst the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: warm springs to the walls, and leaves his foes behind,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and snatches at the beam. He first confined, looks up
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and leaves aloft at all the stretch in hopes the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: helping hand of some kind friend to reach. But Turnus
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: followed hard his hunted prey. His spear had almost reached
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: him in the way, short of his reins, and scarce
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a span behind. Fool, said the chief, Thou fleeter than
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the wind couldst Thou presume to escape when I pursue,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: he said, And downward by the feet he drew the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: trembling dastard. At the tug he falls. Vhist ruins come
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: along rent from the smoking walls. Thus on some silver
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: swan or Timrou's hair. Jove's spurred comes sousing down from
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: upper air. Her crooked talons trusts the fearful prey. Then
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: out of sight she soars and wings her way, so
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: ceases the grim wolf, the tender lamb in vain, lamented
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: by the bleating dam. Then rushing onward with a barbarous cry,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the troops of Turnus to the combat fly the ditch
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: with fagus filled. The daring foe tossed firebrands.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: To the steep Tarret's throw.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Ilonius as bold as Lycatius came to force the gate
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and feed the kindling flame rolled down the fragment of
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a rock so right it crushed him double underneath his weight.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Two more young Leager and Asilla slow to bend the bow.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Young Leager better knew Asilla's best. The pointed javelin through
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: brave Kinius laid Ortigius on the plain. The victor Kinus
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: was by Turnus slain by the same hand Clonius and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Etu's fall. Sagar and ed are standing on the wall
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: from Carpis's arms, his fate. Privernus found hurt by Temilla first,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: but slight the wound, his shield thrown by. To mitigate
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the smart he clapp'd his hand upon the wounded part.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: The second shaft came swift and unespied and pierced his
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: hand and nailed it to his side, transfixed his breathing
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: lungs and beating heart. The soul came issuing out and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: hissed against the dart. The sun of Arkans shone amid
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the rest in glittering armor, and a purple vest fair
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: was his face, his eyes inspiring love bred by his
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: father in the Martian growl, where the fat altars of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Palichu's flame and sending arms to purchase early fame him.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: When he spied from far, the Tuscan king laid by
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the lance and took him to the sling thrice well.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: The throng around his head and through the heated lead,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: half melted as it flew, it pierced his hollow temples
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and his brain. The youth came tumbling down and spurned
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the plain. Then young Ascanius, who before this day was
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: wont in woods, to shoot the savage prey, first bent
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: in martial strife the twanging bow, an exit sized against
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a human fowl. With this bereft Dumanus of his life,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: who Turne's younger sister took to wife, proud of his
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: realm and of his royal bride, vaunting before his troops,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and lengthened with a stride in these insulting terms the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: troyance he defied twice. Conquer'd cowards. Now your shame is
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: shown coop'd up a second time within your town. Who
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: dare not issue forth in open field, but hold your
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: walls before you for a shield. Thus threat you war.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Thus our alliance force, what God's what madness? Heather star'd
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: your course. You shall not find the sons of Arthur's here,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: nor need the frauds of sly ulysses. Fear strong from
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the craddle of a sturdy brood. We bear our new
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: born infants to the flood. There, bathed amid the stream.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Our boys we hold with winter, hardened and inured to cold.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: They wake before the day to range the wood kill ere.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: They eat nor taste unconquered food, no sports, but what
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: belong to war. They know to break the stubborn colts,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to bend the bow. Our youth of labor patient, earn
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: their breed hardly. They work with frugal diet, fed from
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: plows and harrows. Sent to seek renown. They fight in
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: fields and storm the shaken town. No part of life
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: from toils of war is free, No change in age
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: or difference in degree. We plow until in arms our
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: oxen feel instead of goads, the spur and pointed steel.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: The inverted lance makes fur us in the plain. Even
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: time that changes all, yet changes us in vain. The body,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: not the mind, nor can control the immortal vigor or
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: obeate the soul our helms, defend the young, disguise the gray.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: We live by plunder and delight in prey. Your vests
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: embroidered with rich purple shine. In sloth you glory and
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: in dances. Join your vests, have sweeping sleeves with female pride.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Your turbans underneath your chins are tied. Go Phrigians to
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: your Dindymus. Again, go less than women in the shape
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: of men. Go mix'd with eunuchs in the mother's rights,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: where with unequal sound the flute invites sing, dance, and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: howl by turns in DA's shade. Resign the war to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: men who know the martial trade. This foul reproach, as
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Carnius could not hear with patience or avowed revenge forbear.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: At the full stretch.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Of both his hands, he drew and almost join'd the horns.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Of the tough yew.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: But first before the throne of Joe he stood, and thus,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: with lifted hands invoked the God. My first attempt, Great
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Jupiter succeed an annual offering. In thy grow, shall plead
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a snow white stare before thy altar. Lad who likes
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: his mother bears aloft his head butts with his threatening
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: brows and bellowing stands and dares the fight and spurns
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the yellow sands. Joe bowed the heavens and lent a
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: gracious air, and thundered on the left amidst the clear
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: sounded at once the bow and swiftly flies the feathered
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: death and hisses through the skies. The steels throw both
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: his temples, forced the way extended on the ground. Numanus
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: lay go now, vain boaster and true valor. Scorn the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: phrigins twice subdued, Yet make this third return. Ascarnu said,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: no more the troy, and shake the heavens with shouting
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and new vigor. Take Apollo, then bestrode a golden cloud
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to view the feats of arms and fighting crowd. And
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: thus the beardless victory bespoke aloud, advance, illustrous youth, increase
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: in fame and wide from east to west. Extend thy name,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: offspring of gods, thyself and Rome shall owe to thee
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: a race of demi gods. Below this is the way
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to heaven. The powers divine from this beginning day the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Julian line to thee, to them and their victorious heirs.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: The conquer'd war is due, and the vast world is theirs.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Troy is too narrow for thy name, he said, and,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: plunging downward, shot his ragiant head dispelled the breathing air
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that broke his flight, Shorn of his beams, a man
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to mortal sight, old bootus form me to and keys,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a squire now left to rule Ascarnius by his sire,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: his wrinkled visage, and his hoary hairs, his mienest habit,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: and his arms he wears, and thus salutes the boy
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to forward for his years. Sophisit thee thy father's worthy son.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: The warlike Christ, thou hast already won. The God of
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: archers gives thy youth a part of his own praise,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: nor envies equal art. Now tempt the war no more,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: he said, and flew obscure in air, and vanish'd from
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: their view. The Troyans by his arms, that patron know
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: and hear the twanging of his heavenly bow. Then Dutius
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: force the us and foibus name to keep from fight.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: The youth to fond of fame. Undaunted, they themselves no danger.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Shun from wall to wall, the shouts and clamors run
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: they bend their boughs, they whirl their slings around. Heaps
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of spent arrows fall and strew the ground, and helms
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and shields and rattling arms resound. The combat thickens like
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the storm that flies from westward when the showery kids arise,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: or pattering hail comes pouring on the main when Jupiter
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: descends in hardened rain or bellowing clouds burst with a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: stormy sound, and with an armed winters through the ground,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: pondras and beats Ya's Thunderbolts of war, whom hiera to
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: bold alcanor bear on Ida's top to youth of height
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and size, like first that on their mother mountain, rise,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: presuming on their force the gates unbar and of their
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: own accord in white the war with fates averse against
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the king's command. Armed on the right and on the left,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: they stand and flank the passage. Shining steel they wear
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and waving crests above their heads.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Appear.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Thus two tall oaks that pardus banks adorn lift up
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to heaven. Their leafy heads, unshorn and overpress'd with nature's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: heavy load, dance to the whistling winds and at each
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: other nod inflows a tide of Lattians. When they see
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the gate set opened and the passage free. Bold coarisons
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: with rushed Mars rushing on Equicolus, that in bright armor
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: shone and haymon first, but soon repulsed, they fly, or
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: in the well defended past they die. These with successorified
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and those with rage, and each on equal terms at
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: length engage drawn from their lines and issume on the plain.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: The Troyan's hand to hand. The fight maintained fierce turners
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: in another quarterfat when suddenly the unhoped for news was brought.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: The foes had left the fastness of their place, prevailed
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in fight, and had his men in chase. He quits
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the attack, and to prevent their fate, runs where the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: giant brothers guard the gate. The first he met Antipathus,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the brave, but base begotten on a Tebon slave saraded
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: on Sun. He slew the deadly dart, found passage through
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: his breast, and pierced his heart. Fixed in the wound,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: the Italian corner stood warmed in his lungs and in
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: its vital blood. Aphidnus next and Rimantus Diyes and meropus
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and the gigantic size Obetzias, threatening with his ardent eyes.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Not by the feeble dart he fellow prest a dart
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: were lost within that roomy breast, but from a knotted lance,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: large heavy strong, which roared like thunder as it whirled along.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Not two bull hides, the impetuous force withhold nor coat
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: of double mail, with scales of gold down sunk the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: monster bulk and press'd the ground, his arms and clatching
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: shield on the vast body sound not with less ruin
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: than the by and mole raised on the seas, the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: surges to control at once comes stumbling down the rocky wall,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: prone to the deep. The stone's disjointed fall of the
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: vast pile, the scattered ocean flies, black sands, discolor'd, froth
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and mingled mud arise, The frighted billows roll and seek
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the shores. Then trembles prokita, then Ischia roars. Tefheus, thrown
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: beneath by Joe's command, astonished at the floor that shakes
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the land, soon shifts his weary side and scarce awake
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: with wonder fields, the weight pressed lighter on his back.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: The warrior god, the Latian troops inspired news strung their
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: sinews and their courage fired, but chills the troy in
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: hearts with cold affright, then black despair precipitates their flight.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: When Panderus beheld his brother killed, the town with fear
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and wild confusion filled, he turns the hinges of the
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: heavy gate with both his hands and adds his shoulders
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to the weight. Some happier friends within the walls enclosed,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the rest, shut out to certain death. Exposed fool as
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: he was, and frantic in his care to admit young
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Turnus and include the war he thrust amid the crowd,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: securely boldd like a fierce tiger, penned amid the fold,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: too late his placing butler, They descry and sparkling fires
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that shoot from either eye, his mighty members and his
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: ample breast, his ratting armor, and his crimson crest. Far
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: from that hated face, the Triumph's flee all but the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: fool who sought his destiny. Mad Panderas steps forth with vengeance,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: wout forbeats Yus death, and threatens thus aloud.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: These are not Ardea's walls nor his The.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Town Armata proffers with Lavina's crown Tis hostile earth, Ye
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: tread of hopereft. No means of safe return by flight
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: are left to whom with countenance, calm and soul sedate.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Thus turns, then begin and try thy fate. My message
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: to the ghost of Priambert. Tell him a new a
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: calls sent thee there a lance of tough ground ash
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the troy and through rough in the wind and knotted
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: as it grew with his full force, he whirl'd it
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: first around, but the soft jealing air received the wound.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Imperial Junior turn'd the course before and fix'd the wandering
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: weapon in the door. But hope not, thou, said turnus,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: when I strike to shun thy fate. Our force is
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: not alike nor thy steel temper'd by the Lemnian God. Then,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: rising on his outmost stretch, he stood and aim'd from high.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: The full descending blow cleaves the broad front and bared
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: his cheeks in two down sinks the giant with a
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: thundering sound. His ponderous limbs oppress the trembling ground. Blood
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: brains and foam gush from the gaping wound scalp face
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: and shoulders. The keen steel divides, and the shard visage
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: hangs on equal sides. The Troyants fly from their approaching fate,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and had the victor then secur'd the gate and to
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: his troops without unclosed the bars. One lucky day had
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: ended all his wars, but boiling youth and blind desire
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: of blood push'd his fury to pursue the crowd ham
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: string behind. Unhappy, Gigus died. Then phalaris Is added to
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: his side. The pointed javelins from the dead he drew,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and their friend's arms against their fellows. Through strong Harley
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: stands in vain, weak Fleagus flies, Saturnia still at hand,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: new force and fire supplies. Then Harlius Britannus alcanderfall engaged
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: against the foes who scaled the wall, but whom they
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: feared without they found within, But whom they feared without
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: they found within. At last, though late by Lyncaeus he
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: was seen. He calls new succors and assaults the prince.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: But weak is force and vain is their defense. Turned
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: to the right his sword, the hero drew, and at
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: one blow the bold aggressor slow he joins the neck,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and with a stroke so strong the helm flies off
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and bears the head along. Next him, the huntsman Amuchus,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: he killed in darts, in vencomed, and in poison skilled.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Then Cletus fell beneath his fatal spear, and Creatius, whom
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the muses held so dear, he fought with courage, and
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: he sung the fight. Arms were his business, verses his delight.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: The troy and chiefs behold with rage and grief their
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: slaughtered friends, and hasten their relief. Bold Menestus rallies first
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the broken train whom braves. Syrest Us and his troops sustain,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: to save the living and revenge the dead against one
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: warrior's arms, all Troy they led, Oh, void of sense
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: and courage, Minestus cried, where can you hope your coward
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: heads to hide?
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Ah?
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Where beyond these rampires can you run?
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: One man?
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: And in your camp inclosed you shun? Shall then a
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: single sword such slaughter, bows and pass unpunish'd from a
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: numerous host, forsaking honor and renouncing fame, your God's, your country,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and your king your shame. This just reproach their virtue
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: does excite? They stand, They join, They thick into the fight.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Now turnus doubts, and yet disdains to yield. But with
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: slow paces, measures back the field and inches to the walls,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: where tibers tied washing the camp defends the weaker side.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: The more he.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Loses, they advance the more, and tread in every step
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: he trod before they shout, they bear him back, and
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: whom by might they cannot conquer, they oppress with weight,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: as compasted with a wood of spears around the lordly
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: lion still maintains his ground, grins horrible, retires and turns again,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: threats his distended paws and shakes his mane. He loses,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: while in vain he presses on, Nor will his courage
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: let him dare to run, So turners fares, and, unresolved
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: of flight, moves tardy back and just recedes from fight.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Yet twice, enraged the combat he renews, twice breaks, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: twice his broken foes pursues. But now they swarm, and
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: with fresh troops supplied, come rolling on and rush from
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: every side. Nor Juno, who sustained his arms before, dares
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: with new strength sufface the exhausted store for Joe, with
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: sour commands, sent Iris down to force the invader from
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the frighted town. With labor spent no longer can he
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: wheel of heavy fansion or sustain the shield overwhelmed with darts,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: which from afar they fling the weapons round his hollow
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: temple string. His golden helm gives way with stony blows.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Battered and flat and beaten to his brows, his crest
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: is rushed away, his ample shield is falsified and round
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: with javelins filled. The foe now faint, the triumphs overwhelm,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: and Minestus lays hard load upon his helm. Six sweets succeeds.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: He drops at every pore with driving dust. His cheeks
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: are pasted o'er shorter and shorter. Every glass betakes, and
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: vain efforts and hurtest blows he makes plung'd in the flood,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: And may the waters fly the yell of God, the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: welcome burthen boar, and whip the sweet and wash'd away
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the gore. Then gently wafts him to the farther coast,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and sends him safe to cheer his anxious host.
