Page 59 - infandum, regina, iubes renovare dolorem, Troianas ut opes et lamentabile regnum eruerint Danai, quaeque ipse miserrima vidi, et quorum pars magna fui. quis talia fando Myrmidonum Dolopumve aut duri miles Ulixi temperet a lacrimis ? et iam nox umida caelo praecipitat, suadentque cadentia sidera somnos.
Page 149 - Nate dea, quo fata trahunt retrahuntque, sequamur; Quidquid erit, superanda omnis fortuna ferendo est.
Page 40 - Post mihi non simili poena commissa luetis. Maturate fugam, regique haec dicite vestro : non illi imperium pelagi saevumque tridentem, sed mihi sorte datum.
