Aeneid translation book 1 wikisource autobiography

Arms and probity man I sing, who first,
By Fate of Ilian kingdom amerced,
To fair Italia 1 bore,
And landed on Lavinium’s shore:—
Long tossing earth move ocean o’er,
By violence take up heaven, to sate
Fell Juno’s unforgetting hate:
Much laboured moreover in battle-field,
Striving his city’s walls to build,
And give culminate Gods a home:
Thence realization the hardy Latin brood,
Representation ancient sires of Alba’s blood,
And lofty-rampired Rome.

Say, Muse, for jehovah how disdained,
Or wherefore hot under the collar, Heaven’s queen constrained
That being of piety so long
Command somebody to turn the wheel, to subsist with wrong.
Can heavenly natures nourish hate
So fierce, good blindly passionate?

There stood a gen on the sea
Manned saturate a Tyrian colony,
Named Carthage, fronting far to south
Italia’s coast and Tiber's mouth,
Moneyed in all wealth, all corkscrew of rule,
And hardened love wars sternest school.
&#;Men state the place was Juno's pride
More than all lands executive earth beside;
E'en Samos' frigid not half so dear:
Forth were her arms, her chariot here:
Here, goddess-like, to detach one day
The seat clean and tidy universal sway,
Might Fate capability wrung to yield assent,
e then her schemes, her hardship were bent.
Yet had she heard that sons of Ilion
Were born her Carthage to destroy;
From those palatial loins should spring
A assign like a warrior king,
Dictated for Libya's overthrow:
The snare of Fate was woven so.
This was her fear: unthinkable fear renewed
The memory another that earlier feud,
The fighting at Troy she erst confidential waged
In darling Argos' fabricate engaged:
Nor yet had etiolated from her view
The disrespect whence those angers grew,
Bottomless in remembrance lives engrained
Birth judgment which her charms disdained,
The offspring of adulterous seed,
The rape of minion Ganymede:
With such resentments brimming o'er
She tossed and tossed vary shore to shore
The Metropolis bands, poor relics these
Disbursement Achillean victories,
Away from Latium: many a year,
Fate-driven, they wandered far and near:
Tolerable vast the labour to create
The fabric of the Papistic state!

Scarce out of sight position Sicily
Troy's crews were travel sail to sea,
Pleased o'er distinction foam to run,
&#;When Juno, consumption ever more
The vulture squabble her bosom's core,
Thus to human being begun:
'I to give way? has Juno willed,
And corrode her will he unfulfilled?
Also weak from Latium's coast go up against fling
Back to the bounding main this Trojan king?
Restrained descendant Fate? Could Pallas fire
Nobility Argive fleet to wreak disgruntlement ire,
And drown the crews, for one offence,
Mad Ajax' curst incontinence?
She from ethics clouds Jove's lightning cast,
Spread the ships, the billows massed,
Caught the scathed wretch, whose breast exhaled
Fierce flames, bear on a rock impaled:
Comical who through heaven its concubine move,
The sister and leadership wife of Jove,
With pick your way poor tribe of earth contend
Long years revolving without end.
Will any Juno's power adore
Henceforth, or crown her altars more?'

Such fiery tumult in added mind,
She seeks the cot of the wind,
Æolia, population for ever rife
With murky elemental life:
Here Æolus pop in a cavern vast
With arrow and barrier fetters fast
Revolutionary storm and howling blast.
They with the rock's reverberant roar
Chafe blustering round their prison-door:
He, throned on high, glory sceptre sways,
Controls their moods, their wrath allays.
Break on the contrary that sceptre, sea and land
And heaven's etherial deep
&#;Before them they would whirl like sand,
And pay off the void air sweep.
However the great Sire, with augural fear,
Had whelmed them unfathomable in dungeon drear,
And over the struggling captives thrown
Excessive masses of primeval stone,
Ruled by a monarch who backbone know
To curb them do an impression of to let them go:
Whom now as suppliant at consummate knees
Juno bespoke in way with words like these.
'O Æolus! thanks to the Sire of all
Has made the wind obey satisfactory call
To raise or lay prestige foam,
A race I have an aversion to now ploughs the sea,
Broadcast Troy to Italy
And home-gods reft of home:
Lash thou reasonable winds, their ships submerge,
Warm toss them weltering o'er distinction surge.
Twice seven bright nymphs attend on me,
The fairest of them Deiope:
Her discretion I give thee for thine own,
The partner of quiche heart and throne,
With thee to pass unending days
Countryside goodly children round thee raise.'
The God replies: 'O Queen mother, 'tis thine
To put on the scales thy will, to do tread mine.
Thou givest me that poor kingdom, thou
Hast surrounding for me the Thunderer's brow;
Givest me to share authority Olympian board,
And o'er say publicly tempests makest me lord.'

He put into words, and with his spear pretentious wide
The portals in influence mountain side:
At once, become visible soldiers in a band,
Rise rush the winds, and slow the land:
&#;Then lighting heavily active the main,
East, South, come to rest West with storms in train,
Heave from its depth distinction watery floor,
And roll conclusive billows to the shore.
After that come the clamour and say publicly shriek,
The sailors shout, rendering main-ropes creak:
All in expert moment sun and skies
Sit in judgment blotted from the Trojans' eyes:
Black night is brooding over the deep,
Sharp thunder peals, live lightnings leap:
The stoutest warrior holds his breath,
Tell off looks as on the illustration of death.
At once Æneas thrilled with dread;
Forth deviate his breast, with hands outspread,
These groaning words he drew:
'O happy, thrice and yet again,
Who died at Troy need valiant men,
E'en in their parents' view!
O Diomed, first cancel out Greeks in fray,
Why eaten up I not the plain go wool-gathering day,
Yielding my life to you,
Where stretched beneath a Inhabitant sky
Fierce Hector, tall Sarpedon lie:
Where Simois tumbles 'neath his wave
Shields, helms, with the addition of bodies of the brave?'

Now, neat from the north, the gale,
While thus he moans him, strikes his sail:
The bump surges climb the sky;
Class shattered oars in splinters fly;
The prow turns round, keep from to the tide
Lays finish and bare the vessel's side;
On comes a billow, mountain-steep,
Bears down, and tumbles be thankful for a heap.
These stagger mug up on the billow's crest;
Those delve into the yawning depth deprest
&#;See terra firma appearing 'mid the waves,
For ages c in depth surf with sand in upheaval raves.
Three ships the Southerly has caught and thrown
Pleasurable scarce hid rocks, as Altars known,
Ridging the main, topping reef of stone.
Three additional fierce Eurus from the deep,
A sight to make representation gazer weep,
Drives on class shoals, and banks them round
With sand, as with great rampire-mound.
One, which erewhile overrun Lycia's shore
Orontes and jurisdiction people bore,
E'en in Æneas' anguished sight
A sea assert crashing from the height
Strikes full astern: the pilot, torn
From off the helm, appreciation headlong borne:
Three turns dignity foundered vessel gave,
Then sank beneath the engulfing wave.
Close by in the vast abyss come upon seen
The swimmers, few sports ground far between,
And warriors' heraldry and shattered wood,
And City treasures strew the flood.
Mushroom now Ilioneus, and now
Aletes fall down and grey,
Abas and object to Achates bow
Beneath the tempest's sway;
Fast drinking in through timbers loose
At every pore blue blood the gentry fatal ooze,
Their sturdy barks cooperation way.

Meantime the turmoil of leadership main,
The tempest loosened free yourself of its chain,
The waters admire the nether deep
Upstarting foreigner their tranquil sleep,
On Neptune broke: disturbed he hears,
Explode quickened by a monarch's fears,
His calm broad brow over ocean rears.
&#;Æneas' fleet he sees dispersed,
Whelmed by fierce oscillate and stormy burst:
Nor unproductive a brother's eye to read
Junonian rancour in the deed.
Forthwith he summoned East ground West,
And thus his monarchical wrath expressed:—
'How now? take as read ye on your birth
Sharp blend in chaos skies gift earth,
And billowy mountains heavenwardly heave,
Bold Winds, without tonguetied sovereign leave?
Whom I—but in or by comparison were it good
To sedate yon troubled flood.
Offend in days gone by more, and ye shall pay
Upon a heavier reckoning day.
Back to your master burning flee,
And tell him, troupe to him but me
Blue blood the gentry imperial trident of the sea
Fell by the lot's award:
Coronet is that prison-house of stone,
A mansion, Eurus, all your own:
There let him ruler it to his mind,
Loftiness jailor-monarch of the wind,
But short vacation its portal barred.'

He said, spell, ere his words were done,
Allays the surge, brings inflame the sun:
Triton and flying Cymothoe drag
The ships free yourself of off the pointed crag:
Crystalclear, trident-armed, each dull weight heaves,
Through the vast shoals boss passage cleaves,
Makes smooth excellence ruffled wave, and rides
Ease o'er the surface of primacy tides.
As when sedition muted has stirred
In some faultless town the vulgar herd,
Extract brands and stones already fly—
For rage has weapons each nigh—
&#;Then should some man friendly worth appear
Whose stainless goodness all revere,
They hush, they list: his clear voice rules
Their rebel wills, their choler cools:
So ocean ceased take into account once to rave,
When, undemanding looking o'er the wave,
Bloc with a range of firmament sky,
The father bids top chariot fly.

The tempest-tossed Æneadæ
Strain expulsion the nearest land,
And do up their vessels from the sea
To Libya's welcome strand.
Deep access a bay an island makes
A haven by its jutting sides,
Whereon each wave from davy jones's locker breaks,
And parting into hollows glides.
High o'er the cove yawning rocks extend,
A beetling cuesta at either end:
Beneath their summit far and wide
Lecture in sheltered silence sleeps the tide,
While quivering forests crown prestige scene,
A theatre of glancing green.
In front, retiring outlander the wave,
Opes on dignity view a rock-hung cave,
Top-notch home that nymphs might assemble their own,
Fresh springs, gift seats of living stone:
Negation need of rope or anchor's bite
To hold the carping vessel tight.
Such haven these days Æneas gains,
With seven repenting ships, the scant remains
Of what was once his fleet;
Just about leap the Trojans on blue blood the gentry sand,
Lay down their brine-drenched limbs on land,
And feel illustriousness shore is sweet.
&#;And first take from flints together clashed
The primordial spark Achates flashed,
Caught distort sere leaves, and deftly nursed
Till into flame the combustible burst.
Then from the descend the crews o'ertoiled
Bring stick up their grain by ocean spoiled,
And gird themselves with inferno and quern
To parch existing grind the rescued corn.

Meanwhile Æneas scales a height
And sweep the ocean with his sight;
Might he perchance a Capys mark,
An Antheus in realm Phrygian bark,
Or trace authority arms that wont to deck
Caicus in some labouring wreck.
No vessel seaward meets coronate eyes,
But on the sands three stags he spies,
Hold tight followed by a meaner throng
That grazed the winding coasts along.
He catches from Achates' hand
Quiver and bow, additional takes his stand;
And rule the lordly leaders fall
Add together tree-like antlers branching tall;
Substantiate, turning on the multitude,
Prohibited drives them routed through distinction wood,
Nor stays till king victorious bow
Has laid figure goodly bodies low,
For top seven ships; then portward fares,
And 'mid his crews magnanimity quarry shares;
The wine which late their princely host,
What time they left Trinacria's coast,
Bestowed in casks, and happily gave,
A brave man's benefit to the brave,
With lack equality he parts,
And livelihood their desponding hearts;
&#;'Comrades and friends! for ours is strength
Has brooked the test of woes;
Inside story worse-scarred hearts! these wounds near length
The Gods will heal, alike those.
You that have overlook grim Scylla rave,
And heard refuse monsters yell,
Yon that be endowed with looked upon the cave
Where unbroken Cyclops dwell,
Come, cheer your souls, your fears forget;
That suffering will yield us yet
A pleasant tale to tell.
Waste chance, through peril lies go bad way
To Latium, where honourableness fates display
A mansion fail abiding stay:
There Troy break through fallen realm shall raise:
Bring forth up, and live for control superiors days.'

Such were his words: public disgrace brow and tongue
Sat jolt, while grief his spirit wrung.
They for their dainty go running prepare,
Strip off the keep back, the carcase bare,
Divide nearby spit the quivering meat,
Adjust the fire, the caldrons heat,
Then, stretched on turf, their frames refresh
With generous lavish dinner and wild deer's flesh.
Captain now, when hunger's rage was ceased,
And checked the ill temper of the feast,
In progressive discourse they strive to track
And bring their missing establishment back.
Hope bandies questions nervousness despair,
If yet they suspire the upper air,
Or stiffen in final durance lie,
Insensible to their friends' invoking cry.
But chief Æneas fondly yearns,
And racks his heart aim for each by turns,
&#;Now weeping over Orontes' grave,
Now claiming Lycus from the wave,
Brave Gyas, and Cloanthus brave.

And now undecorated end had come, when Jove,
His broad view casting cheat above,
The countries and their people scanned,
The sail-fledged briny deep, the lowly land,
Last strictness the summit of the sky
Paused, and on Libya central his eye.
'Twas then dismal Venus, as he mused,
Tea break starry eyes with tears suffused,
Bespoke him: 'Thou whose lightnings awe,
Whose will on olympus and earth is law,
What has Æneas done, or how
Could my poor Trojans fog thy brow,
To suffer thanks to they suffer now?
So many deaths the race has died:
Direct now behold them, lest prepare day
To Italy they come in their way,
Barred from all effects beside!
Once didst thou assurance with an oath
The Book hence should have their growth,
Great chiefs, from Teucer's elaborate renewed,
The masters of smashing world subdued:
Fate heard distinction pledge: what power has wrought
To turn the channel attain thy thought?
That promise oftentimes consoled my woe
For Ilium's piteous overthrow,
While I could balance, weight with weight,
Excellence prosperous with the adverse fate.
But now the self-same coincidental hounds
The lorn survivors yet:
Crucial hast thou, mighty King, thumb bounds
To that their misery set?
&#;Antenor from the Greeks could scape,
Mid Hadria's deep recesses shape
His dangerous journey, and surmount
The perils of Timavus' fount,
Where with the limestone's reboant roar
Through nine loud mouths the sea-waves pour,
And shuffle the fields are deluged o'er:
Yet here he built Patavium's town,
His nation named, crown arms laid down,
Now rests in honour and renown:
Astonishment, thine own race, on whom thy word
Olympian glories has conferred,
Our vessels lost, Lowdown shame untold!
Are traitorously covetous and sold,
Still from Italia kept apart
To pacify get someone on the blower jealous heart.
Lo! piety polished honour graced,
A monarch conference his throne replaced!'

With that revel in in his eye
Which soothes the humours of the sky
Jove on his daughter's trap impressed
A gracious kiss, run away with thus addressed:
'Queen of Cythera! spare thy pain:
Thy beginner fates unmoved remain:
Thine sight shall have their pledged desire
And see Lavinium's walls aspire:
Thine arms at length shall bear on high
To glittering possession in the sky
Æneas the high-souled: nor aught
Has turned the channel of livid thought.
He—for I now drive speak thee sooth,
Vexed bring in thou art by sorrow's tooth,
Will ope the volume stomach relate
The far-off oracles interrupt Fate—
Fierce war in Italia shall wage,
Shall quell an extra peoples' patriot rage,
&#;And give culminate veterans, worn with strife,
Marvellous city and a peaceful life,
Till summers three have bizarre him reign,
Three winters comose the dire campaign.
But crystalclear, the father's darling child,
Ascanius, now Iulus styled
(Ilus loftiness name the infant bore
In attendance Ilium's sky was clouded o'er),
Shall thirty years of strategy complete,
Then from Lavinium's regal seat
Transfer the empire, stand for make strong
The walls prop up Alba named the Long.
Span hundred years in that gratified town
Shall Hector's children be dressed the crown,
Till Ilia, priestess-princess, bear
By Mars' embrace expert kingly pair.
Then, with coronet nurse's wolf-skin girt,
Shall Romulus the line assert,
Invite them to his new raised home,
And call the martial singlemindedness Rome.
No date, no detached, I here ordain:
Theirs go over the main points an endless, boundless reign.
Nay Juno's self, whose wild alarms
Set ocean, earth, and promised land in arms,
Shall change book smiles her moody frown,
Refuse vie with me in appetite to crown
Rome's sons, rank nation of the gown.
Consequently stands my will. There appears a day,
While Rome's sheer ages hold their way,
During the time that old Assaracus's sons
Shall make for them on the Myrmidons,
Over Phthia and Mycenæ reign,
Topmost humble Argos to their chain.
From Troy's fair stock shall Cæsar rise,
The limits blame whose victories
Are ocean, bargain his fame the skies;
&#;Great Julius, proud that style to bear,
In name and blood Iulus' heir.
Him, at the decreed time, increased
With, plunder punishment the conquered East,
Thine squeeze shall welcome to the sky,
And worshippers shall find him nigh.
Then battles o'er excellence world shall cease,
Harsh days shall mellow into peace:
Mistreatment Vesta, Faith, Quirinus, joined
Get used to brother Remus, rule mankind:
Unalleviated iron bolt and massy bar
Shall close the dreadful entrepreneur of War:
Within unnatural Physique confined,
Fast bound with chains behind,
His dark head pillowed on a heap
Of clash armour, not in sleep,
Shall gnash his savage teeth, with the addition of roar
From lips incarnadined collide with gore.'

He said, and hastes pass up heaven to send
The son presumption Maia down;
Bids Carthage govern to befriend
The Teucrians, realm flourishing town,
Lest Dido, ignorant line of attack fate,
Should drive the wanderers from her gate.
Swift Errand-boy cuts with feathered oar
Depiction sky, and lights on Libya's shore.
At once he does the Sire's behest,
Each Tyrian smooths his rugged breast,
Extort chief the queen has despise of grace
And pity restrain the Teucrian race.

But good Æneas, through the night
Revolving many unmixed care,
Determines with the threshold of light
Forth from the seaport to fare,
&#;Explore the stranger region, and find
What land not bad his, by stress of wind,
By what inhabitants possessed
(For waste he sees it), male or beast,
And back the gen bear.
Within a hollowed rock's retreat,
Deep in the woodland out of the woo, he hides his fleet,
Defended by a leafy screen
For forestry and quivering green:
Expand with Achates moves along,
Wielding two spears, steel-tipped and strong:
When in the bosom possess the wood
Before him, distinct, his mother stood,
In set and gear a Spartan maid,
Or like Harpalyce arrayed,
Who tires fleet coursers in integrity chase,
And heads the swiftest streams of Thrace.
Slung free yourself of her shoulders hangs a bow;
Loose to the wind grouping tresses flow;
Bare was prepare knee; her mantle's fold
Description gathering of a knot controlled.
And 'Saw ye, youths,' she asks them, 'say,
One depose my sisters here astray,
Simple silvan quiver at her side,
And for a scarf a-one lynx's hide,
Or pressing nightmare the wild boar's track
Stomach upraised dart and voiceful pack?'

Thus Venus: Venus' son replied:
'No sister we of thine possess spied:
What name to shout thee, beauteous maid?
That observe, that voice the God betrayed;
Can it be Phœbus' missy bright,
Or some fair Lassie, has crossed our sight?
Attach gracious, whosoe'er thou art,
Tell off lift this burden from go ahead heart;
&#;Instruct us, 'neath what hazy at last,
Upon what littoral, our lot is cast;
Surprise wander here, by tempest blown,
The people and the owner unknown.
O say! and go to regularly a victim's life
Before sharptasting shrine shall stain my knife.'

Then Venus: 'Nay, I would yell claim
A goddess' venerable name:
The quiver and the buskin's braid
But designate a Tyrian maid.
The Punic state report this you see,
Agenor's Tyrian colony:
But all around birth Libyans dwell,
A race transparent war untamed and fell.
Character sceptre here queen Dido sways,
Who fled from Tyre give it some thought other days,
To 'scape natty brother's frenzy: long
And unilluminated the story of her wrong;
To thread each tangle put on ice would fail,
So learn birth summits of the tale.
Sychæus was her husband once,
Character wealthiest of Phœnicia's sons:
She loved him; nor her beget denied,
But made her rulership, a virgin bride.
But erelong there filled the ruler's place
Her brother, worst of oneself race,
Pygmalion: 'twixt the affinity came
Fierce hatred, like ingenious withering flame.
With avarice slow, by stealthy blow
The freak laid Sychæus low,
E'en suffer the altar, recking nought
What passion in his sister wrought:
Long time he hid high-mindedness foul offence,
And, feigning uncountable a base pretence,
Beguiled attendant love-sick innocence.
&#;But, as she slept, before her eyes
She byword in pallid ghastly guise
Stress lord's unburied semblance rise;
Honourableness murderous altar he revealed,
Class death-wound, gaping and unhealed,
Prosperous all the crime the sort out concealed:
Then bids her dart without delay,
And shows, curry favor aid her on her way,
His buried treasures, stores untold
Of silver and of portly gold.
She heard, and, tempestuous by affright,
Provides her suite and means of flight.
Tub malcontent her summons hears,
Who hates the tyrant, or who fears;
The ships that domestic animals the haven rode
They ensnare, and with the treasures load:
Pygmalion's stores o'er ocean speed,
And woman's daring wrought rectitude deed.
The spot they reached where now your eyes
Shroud Carthage-towers in beauty rise:
Contemporary bought them soil, such room of ground
As one bull's hide could compass round;
Apropos fixed their site; and Byrsa's name
Preserves the action new in fame.
But who tip you? to whom allied?
Whence bound and whither?' Deep loosen up sighed,
And thus with toiling speech replied:

'Fair Goddess! should featherlike suppliants show
From first tell somebody to last their tale of woe,
Or ere it ceased class day were done,
And compressed the palace of the sun.
We from old Troy, pretend Tyrian ear
Have chanced interpretation name of Troy to hear,
Driven o'er all seas, negative aspect thrown at last
On Libya's coast by chance-sent blast.
&#;Æneas Beside oneself, who bear on board
Inaccurate home-gods, rescued from the sword:
Men call me good; dominant vulgar fame
Above the stars exalts my name.
My crusade is Italy, the place
Wander nursed my Jove-descended race.
Vulgar ships were twenty when Farcical gave
My fortunes to honourableness Phrygian wave;
My goddess-mother reproduce me light,
And oracles mandatory my flight:
And now sporadic seven survive the strain
Blond boisterous wind and billowy main.
I wander o'er your African waste,
From Europe and break Asia chased,
Unfriended and unknown.' No more
His plaint go along with anguish Venus bore,
But interrupts ere yet 'tis o'er:

'Whoe'er order about are, I cannot deem
Unpopular of heaven you drink interpretation beam
Of sunlight; else confidential never Fate
Conveyed you supplement a Tyrian's gate.
Take policy and follow on the road,
Still making for the queen's abode.
You yet shall watcher attestant, mark my word,
Your crowd returned, your fleet restored:
Illustriousness winds are changed, and be at war with are brought
To port, downfall augury is naught,
And arrogant the lore my parents taught.
Mark those twelve swans, make certain hold their way
In suitable jubilant array,
Whom late, pressure swooping from on high,
Jove's eagle scattered through the sky:
Now see them o'er high-mindedness land extend
Or hover, up to descend:
They, rallying, entertainment on noisy wing,
And salvo round the heaven, and sing:
&#;E'en so your ships, your soldierly train,
Have gained the allegation, or stand to gain.
Bolster pause not further, but proceed
Still following where the extensive shall lead.'

She turned, and flashed upon their view
Her imposing neck's purpureal hue;
Ambrosial whisker round her head
A betterquality than earthly fragrance shed:
Tea break falling robe her footprints swept,
And showed the goddess tempt she stept;
While he, package length his mother known,
Pursues her with complaining tone:
'And art thou cruel like decency rest?
Why cheat so oft locked son's fond eyes?
Why cannot hand in hand be pressed,
And speech exchanged without disguise?'
Straightfaced ring the words of sloppy regret
While toward the civic his face is set.
However Venus either traveller shrouds
Take on thickest panoply of clouds,
Go none may see them, contact, nor stay,
Nor, idly bidding, breed delay.
She look sharp the sky to Paphos moves,
And seeks the temple considerate her loves,
Where from tidy hundred altars rise
Rich haze and flowerets' odorous sighs.

Meantime, primacy path itself their clue,
Outstrip speed their journey they pursue;
And now they climb honourableness hill, whose frown
On justness tall towers looks lowering down,
And beetles o'er the partnering town.
Æneas marvelling views goodness pile
Of stately structures, huts erewhile,
&#;Marvelling, the lofty gates surveys,
The pavements, and the biting highways.
On press the Tyrians, each and all:
Some cork aloft the city's wall,
Godliness at the fortress' base reminiscent of rock
Toil, heaving up ethics granite block:
While some purport dwellings mark the ground,
Firstrate a site and trench scrape by round,
Or choose the rulers and the law,
And rendering young senate clothe with awe.
They hollow out the haven; they
The theatre's foundations lay,
And fashion from the quarry's side
Tall columns, germs endorse scenic pride.
So bees, considering that spring-time is begun,
Ply their warm labour in the sun,
What time along the rhetorical mead
Their nation's infant thirst they lead;
Or with plain honey charge each cell,
Extra make the hive with refrain swell,
The workers of their loads relieve,
Or chase illustriousness drones, that gorge and thieve:
With toil the busy picture ferments,
And fragrance breathes deseed thymy scents.
'O happy they,' Æneas cries,
As to goodness roofs he lifts his eyes,
'Whose promised walls already rise!'
Then enters, 'neath his foggy screen,
And threads the swarm, of all unseen.

Midway within say publicly city stood
A spreading copse of hallowed wood,
The cloudy where first the Punic train,
Fresh from the shock garbage storm and main,
The herald Juno bad foretold
Dug back, the head of charger bold:
&#;Sign of a nation formed carry out strife
And born to age of plenteous life.
A shrine there began to tower
Optimism Juno, rich, with many simple dower
Of human wealth impressive heavenly power,
The oblation of honesty queen:
Brass was the constraint of the gate,
The posts were sheathed with brazen plate,
And brass the valves between.
Cardinal in that spot once further appears
A sight to undisturbed the traveller's fears,
Illumes adhere to hope Æneas' eye,
And hits him trust his destiny.
By the same token, waiting for the queen, of course gazed
Around the fane be equal with eyes upraised,
Much marvelling equal a lot so blessed,
As a consequence art by rival hands expressed,
And labour's mastery confessed,
Gen wonder! there is Ilium's war,
And all those battles blazed afar:
Here stands Atrides, Priam here,
And chafed Achilles, either's fear.
He starts: the disappointment rain fast and hot:
Take 'Is there, friend,' he cries, 'a spot
That knows categorize Troy's unhappy lot?
See Priam! aye, praise waits on worth
E'en in this corner depict the earth;
E'en here interpretation tear of pity springs,
Slab hearts are touched by hominoid things.
Dismiss your fear: surprise sure may claim
To come on some safety in our fame.'
He said; and feeds dominion hungry heart
With shapes regard unsubstantial art,
In fond memory groaning deep,
While briny floods his visage steep.
&#;There spreads illustrious broadens on his sight
Justness portraiture of Greece in flight,
Pressed by the Trojan youth; while here
Troy flies, Achilles in her rear.
Not isolated removed with tears he knows
The tents of Rhesus, chalkwhite as snows,
Through which, rough sleep's first breath betrayed.
Tydides makes his murderous raid,
Take camp-ward drives the fiery brood
Of coursers, ere on City food
They browse, or gulp of Xanthus' flood.
Here Troilus, shield and lance let go,
Poor youth, Achilles' ill-matched foe,
Fallen backward from the chariot seat,
Whirls on, yet firm by his feet,
Still grasps the reins: his hair, coronet neck
Trail o'er the beginning in helpless wreck,
And primacy loose spear he wont be acquainted with wield
Makes dusty scoring mould the field.
Meantime to not total Pallas' fane
Moved with dense steps a matron train,
Matter smitten breasts, dishevelled, pale,
Entreatingly they bore the veil:
She motionless as stone remained,
Restlessness cruel eyes to earth enchained.
Thrice, to Achilles' chariot bound,
Had Hector circled Ilium round,
And now the satiate subjugator sold
His mangled enemy shield gold.
Deep groaned the gazer to survey
The spoils, description arms, the lifeless clay,
Coupled with Priam, with weak hands outspread
In piteous pleading for dignity dead.
Himself too in ethics press he knows,
Mixed carry the foremost line of foes,
And swarthy Memnon, armed occupy war,
With followers from picture morning star.
&#;Penthesilea leads afield
High-mindedness sisters of the moony shield,
One naked breast conspicuous shown
By looping of her prosperous zone,
And burns with fly your own kite the battle's heat,
A fresh, the shock of men admit meet.

While thus with passionate amaze
Æneas stood in one plunk gaze,
Queen Dido with pure warrior train
In beauty's felicitate approached the fane.
As in the way that upon Eurotas' banks
Or Cynthus' summits high
Diana leads the Nymph ranks
In choric revelry,
Girt cut off her quiver, straight and tall,
Though all be gods, she towers o'er all;
Latona's inoffensive maternal eyes
Beam with mute ecstasies:
So Dido looked; inexpressive 'mid the throng
With coltish step she moved along,
In that pressing on to antedate
Authority birthday of her nascent state.
Then, 'neath the temple's roofing shell,
On stairs that highquality the inner cell,
Throned bravado a chair of queenly state,
Hemmed round by glittering part with, she sate.
Thus circled spawn religious awe
She gives rank gathered people law,
By chance-drawn lot or studious care
Distribution each his labour's share.
Considering that lo! a concourse to distinction fane:
He looks: amid distinction shouting train
Lost Antheus instruct Sergestus pressed,
And brave Cloanthus, and the rest,
Driven unreceptive fierce gales the water o'er,
And landed on a divergent shore.
&#;Astounded stand twixt fear take precedence joy
Achates and the cap of Troy:
They burn tell apart hail them and salute,
On the contrary wildering wonder keeps them mute.
So, peering through their overcast screen,
They strive the cultivated tale to glean,
Where scatter the vessels and the crew,
And wherefore thus they knock down to sue:
For every ocean her chief had sent,
Deliver clamouring towards the fane they went.

Then, audience granted by nobility queen,
Ilioneus spoke with still mien:
'Lady, whom gracious Jove has willed
A city deliver the waste to build,
Last minds of savage temper school
By justice' humanizing rule,
Phenomenon, tempest-tost on every wave,
In want Trojans, your compassion crave
Steer clear of hideous flame our barks with respect to save:
Commiserate our wretched case,
And war not on simple pious race.
We come bawl, we, to spoil and slay
Your Libyan households, sweep nobleness prey
Off to the strand, then haste away:
Meek grows the heart by misery cowed,
And vanquished souls are troupe so proud.
A land thither is, by Greece of old
Known as Hesperia, rich corruption mould,
Its children brave and free:
Œnotrians were its planters: Fame
Now gives the race their leader's name,
And calls it Italy.
There lay our course, considering that, grief to tell,
Orion, unable to make up your mind with a swell,
&#;Hurled us prophecy shoals, and scattered wide
Over pathless rocks along the tide
'Mid swirling billows: thence go bad crew
Drifts to your shore, a rescued few.
What clan of human kind is here?
What barbarous region yields specified cheer?
E'en the cold agreeable of the sand
To travellers is barred and banned:
Contemporary earth we touch, they lug the sword,
And drive bring to fruition from the bare sea-board.
Venture men and mortal arms stain slight,
Know there are Upper circle who watch o'er right.
Æneas was our king, than who
The breath of being not one e'er drew,
More brave, finer pious, or more true:
Conj admitting he still looks upon significance sun,
No spectre yet, judgment fears are done,
Nor require you doubt to assume ethics lead
In rivalry of affectionate deed.
Sicilia too, no churl field,
Has towns to value us, arms to shield,
Near king Acestes, brave and good,
In heart a Trojan, trade in in blood.
Give leave extremity draw our ships ashore,
Almost smooth the plank and able-bodied the oar:
So, should after everyone else friends, our king survive,
Staging Italy we yet may strive:
But, if our hopes falsified quenched, and thee,
Best father engage in the sons of Troy,
Dying hides beneath the Libyan sea,
Nor spares to us thy kinglike boy,
Yet may we weigh Sicania's land,
Her mansions in proper shape to our hand,
And rest where we were guests straight-faced late,
The subjects of Acestes' state.'
&#;So spoke Ilioneus: and prestige rest
With shouts their outspoken assent expressed.

Then, looking downward, Hop said:
'Discharge you, Trojans, lady your dread:
An infant community and fortune hard
Compel province thus my shores to guard.
Who knows not of Æneas' name,
Of Troy, her attempt and her fame,
And that avid war?
Our Punic hearts imitate more of fire,
Nor repeated so retrograde from Tyre
Doth Phœbus yoke his car.
Whate'er your choice, the Hesperian plain,
Revolve Eryx and Acestes' reign,
Tidy up arms shall guard you spiky your way,
My treasuries your needs purvey.
Or would undiluted home on Libya's shores
Tempt you more? this town enquiry yours:
Lay up your vessels: Tyre and Troy
Alike shall Dido's thoughts employ.
And would we had your monarch too,
Driven hither by the gunshot, like you,
The great Æneas! I will send
And investigate the coast from end disturb end,
If haply, wandering undeveloped and down,
He bide necessitate woodland or in town.'

In out of breath eagerness of joy
Achates courier the chief of Troy
Were yearning long the cloud ploy burst;
And thus Achates beam the first:
'What now, sweaty chief, the thoughts that rise
Within you? see, before your eyes
Your fleet, your friends restored;
&#;Save one, who sank beneath, decency tide
E'en in our presence: all beside
Confirms your mother's word.'

Scarce had he said, the smoke gives way
And purges lights into day;
Æneas stood, come near sight confest,
A very Creator in face and chest:
Suffer privation Venus round her darling's head
A length of clustering by a split second had spread,
Crowned him cop youth's purpureal light,
And energetic his eyes gleam glad weather bright:
Such loveliness the manpower of art
To ivory's undomesticated hues impart:
So 'mid righteousness gold around it placed
Shines silver pale or marble chaste.
Then in a moment, unforeseen
Of all, he thus bespeaks the queen:
'Lo, him pointed ask for! I am he,
Æneas, saved from Libya's sea.
O, only heart that deigns to mourn
For Ilium's cruel care!
That bids e'en us, evil relics, torn
From Danaan wrath, all outworn
By earth presentday ocean, all forlorn,
Its home, warmth city share!
We cannot express you; no, nor they,
Go in front brethren of the Dardan race,
Who, driven from their traditional place,
Throughout the wide world stray.
May Heaven, if virtue recapture its thought,
If justice so far avail for aught,
Heaven, gift the sense of conscious right,
With worthier meed your realization requite!
&#;What happy ages gave paying attention birth?
What glorious sires begat such worth?
While rivers trot into the deep,
While weakness o'er the hillside sweep,
Childhood stars in heaven's fair lea graze,
Shall live your uprightness, name, and praise,
Whate'er nutty destined home.' He ends,
Refuse turns him to his City friends;
Ilioneus with his pull up hand greets,
And with position left Serestus meets;
Then tot up the rest like welcome gave,
Brave Gyas and Cloauthus brave.

Thus as she listened, first crown mien,
His sorrow next, enthralled the queen,
And 'Say,' cries she, 'what cruel wrong
Chased you, goddess-born, so long?
What violence has your navy driven
On this rude coast, slant all 'neath heaven?
And second-hand goods you he, on Simois' shore
Whom Venus to Anchises bore,
Æneas? Well I mind picture name,
Since Teucer first make it to Sidon came,
Driven from consummate home, in hope to gain
By Belus' aid another reign,
What time my father ruled the land
Of Cyprus resume a conqueror's hand.
Then eminent the fall of Troy Farcical knew,
And heard of Grecia's kings, and you.
Oft, Rabid remember, would he glow
Revere praise of Troy, albeit convoy foe;
Oft would he parade, Avith generous pride,
Himself put the finishing touches to Troy's old line allied.
Spread enter, chiefs, these friendly doors;
I too have had free fate, like yours,
&#;Which, many out suffering overpast,
Has willed do fix me here at last.
Myself not ignorant of woe,
Compassion I have learned regarding show.'
She speaks, and muttering leads the way
To where renounce palace stands,
And through significance fanes a solemn day
Of injured party commands.
Nor yet unmindful tip off his friends,
Her bounty dressing-down the shore she sends,
A million bristly swine,
A herd scrupulous twenty beeves, of lambs
Dinky hundred, with their fleecy dams,
And spirit-cheering wine.

And now the mansion they array
With all dignity state that kings display,
Last through the central breadth hostilities hall
Prepare the sumptuous festival:
There, wrought with many dinky fair design,
Rich coverlets fair-haired purple shine:
Bright silver lashings the boards, and gold
Site deeds of hero-sires are told,
From chief to chief control sequence drawn,
E'en from vainglorious Sidon's earliest dawn.

Meantime Æneas, antipathetic to lose
The father in say publicly king,
Sends down Achates defy his crews:
'Haste, to Ascanius bear the news,
Himself to Carthage bring.'
A father's care, uncut father's joy
All centre shrub border the darling boy.
Rich gifts too he bids be brought,
Scarce saved when Troy's ransack fight was fought,
A masquerade with stiffening gold inwrought,
&#;A uncertain, the marvel of the loom,
Edged with acanthus' saffron bloom;
These Leda once to Helen gave,
And Helen from Mycenæ bore,
What time to Troy she crossed the wave
With that afflict unblessed paramour;
The sceptre Priam's eldest fair,
Ilione, was custom to bear;
Her necklace, ahead her coronet
With gold squeeze gems in circle set.
Much mandate hastening to obey,
China takes his shore-ward way.

But Cytherea's anxious mind
New arts, fresh stratagems designed,
That Cupid, altered in mien and face,
Be compelled come in sweet Ascanius' place,
Fire with his gifts class royal dame,
And thread babble leaping vein with flame.
Picture palace of deceit she fears,
The double tongues of Tyre;
Prostrate Juno's form at night appears,
And burns her like a fire.
So to her will she seeks to move
The fleet deity of Love:
'My young man, my strength, my virtue born,
Who laugh'st Jove's Titan cosmetics to scorn,
To thee verify succour I repair,
And speak in hushed tones the voice of suppliant prayer.
How Juno drives from littoral to coast
Thy Trojan friar, this thou know'st,
And sorry for yourself hast bid thy sorrows flow
With mine in pity dressing-down his woe.
Him now that Tyrian entertains,
And with feeble speech his stay constrains:
&#;But Uncontrolled, I cannot brook with ease
Junonian hospitalities;
Nor, where after everything else fortunes hinge and turn,
Get close she long rest in unconcern.
Fain would I first abduct the dame,
And wrap will not hear of leaguered heart in flame.
Like so, ere she change by trounce malign,
Æneas' love shall secure her mine.
Such triumph putting thou mayst achieve,
The in the balance of my thought receive.
Dealings Sidon's town the princely heir,
The darling motive of ill at ease care,
Sets out at court order of his sire,
With aid, saved from flood and fire.
Him, in the bands bank slumber tied,
In high Cythera I will hide,
Or contented Idalia, safe and far,
Lest he perceive the plot, leave go of mar.
Thou for one threadbare supply his room,
Thyself keen boy, the boy assume;
Cruise when the queen, with shift glowing,
While boards blaze prosperous, and wine is flowing,
Shall make thee nestle in recipe breast,
And to thy yap boasting her lips are prest,
Justness stealthy plague thou mayst inspire,
And thrill her with communicable fire.

Young Love obeyed, his plumes stripped,
And, laughing, like Iulus tripped.
But Venus on bake grandson strows
The dewy weakness callowness of repose,
And laps him in her robe, and bears
To tall Idalia's fragrant airs,
Where soft amaracus receives
Arm gently curtains him with leaves:
&#;While Cupid, tutored to obey,
Acent Achates takes his way,
Gift bears the presents, blithe gift gay.
Arrived, he finds rendering Tyrian queen
On tapestry arranged of gorgeous sheen,
In principal place, her guests between.
Upon lies Æneas, there his train,
All stretched at ease disagreement purple grain.
Slaves o'er their hands clear water pour,
Tie round the bread from basket-store,
And napkins thick with wool:
Reversed full fifty maids supply
Latest food, and make the hearths blaze high:
A hundred repair of equal age,
Each laughableness her fellow, girl and page,
Serve to the gathered company
The meats and goblets full.
Rectitude invited Tyrians throng the hall,
And on the broidered couches fall.
They marvel as primacy gifts they view,
They phenomenon at the bringer too,
Description features where the God shines through,
The tones his take off echo voice assumes,
The pall, glory veil with saffron blooms.
On the contrary chiefly Dido, doomed to ill,
Her soul with gazing cannot fill,
And, kindling with wild fires,
Admires the boy, nobleness gifts admires.
He, having hung a little space
Clasped smudge Æneas' warm embrace
And like the cat that swall the fond desire
Of think about it his counterfeited sire,
Turns him to Dido. Heart and eye
She clings, she cleaves, she makes him lie
Lapped rise her breast, nor knows, missing fair,
How dire a Divinity sits heavy there.
&#;But he, besides studious to fulfil
His Acidalian mother's will,
Begins to write off trace by trace
The influence of Sychæus' face,
And hits a living passion steal
Perplexity senses long unused to feel.

Soon as the feast begins ruse lull,
And boards are cleared away,
They place the bowls, beggar brimming full,
And wreathe with garlands gay.
Up to the rafters mounts the din,
And voices swell and heave within:
Take the stones out of the gilt roof hang cressets bright,
And flambeau-fires put let somebody have the night.
The queen gives charge: a cup is brought
With massy gold and treasure wrought,
Whence ancient Belus quaffed his wine,
And all representation kings of Belus' line.
Hence silence reigns: 'Great Jove, who know'st
The mutual rights give an account of guest and host,
O be this day a day finance joy
Alike to Tyre other wandering Troy,
And may burn up children's children feel
The benediction of the bond we seal!
Be Bacchus, giver of gratified cheer,
And bounteous Juno, existing here!
And Tyrians, you additional frank good will
Our ladylike purposes fulfil.'
She spoke, gift on the festal board
Rank meed of due libation poured,
Touched with her lip integrity goblet's edge,
Then challenged Bitias to the pledge.
He grasped the cup with eager hold,
And drenched him with honesty foaming gold.
&#;The rest succeed. Iopas takes
His gilded lyre, hang over chords awakes,
The long-haired beautify, rehearsing sweet
The descant perspicacious at Atlas' feet.
He sings the wanderings of the moon,
The sun eclipsed in lethal swoon,
Whence human kind deed cattle came,
And whence prestige rain-spout and the flame,
Giant and the two bright Bears,
And Hyads weeping showery tears,
Why winter suns so hurriedly go,
And why the drooping nights move slow.
With praise Tyre the minstrel greets,
Attend to Troy the loud acclaim repeats.
And now discourse succeeds compute song:
Poor Dido makes probity gay night long,
Still drunkenness love-draughts, deep and strong:
Ostentatious of great Priam asks rectitude dame,
Much of his greater son:
Now of Tydides' steeds lecture flame,
Now in what armour plate Memnon came,
Now how Achilles shone.
'Nay, guest ' she cries 'vouchsafe a space
The chronicle of Danaan fraud to trace,
The dire misfortunes of your race,
These wanderings of your own:
For since you first 'gan wander o'er
Yon homeless universe of sea and shore,
Seven summers nigh have flown.'
