Page 437 - Tros Anchisiade, facilis descensus Averno : noctes atque dies patet atri ianua Ditis ; sed revocare gradum superasque evadere ad auras, hoc opus, hie labor est.

Page 200 - Accipiet reduces. Antiquam exquirite matrem. Hie domus Aeneae cunctis dominabitur oris, Et nati natorum, et qui nascentur ab illis.
