Ominibus. Sed regna Tyri germanus habebat
Pygmalion, scelere ante alios immanior omnis,
Quos inter medius venit Furor. Ille Sychæum
Impius ante aras, atque auri cæcus amore,
Clam ferro incautum superat, securus amorum
Germanæ; factumque diu celavit, et ægram,
Multa malus simulans, vana spe lusit amantem.
Ipsa sed in somnis inhumati venit imago
Conjugis: ora modis attollens pallida miris,
Crudelis aras, trajectaque pectora ferro,
Nudavit; cæcumque domûs scelus omne retexit.
Tum celerare fugam patriaque excedere suadet,
Auxiliumque viæ veteres tellure recludit
Thesauros, ignotum argenti pondus et auri.
His commota, fugam Dido sociosque parabat.
Conveniunt, quibus aut odium crudele tyranni,
Aut metus acer erat: navis, quæ forte paratæ,
Corripiunt, onerantque auro. Portantur avari
Pygmalionis opes pelago: dux femina facti.
Devenere locos, ubi nunc ingentia cernes
Monia, surgentemque novæ Carthaginis arcem;
Mercatique solum, facti de nomine Byrsam,
Taurino quantum possent circumdare tergo.
Sed vos qui tandem, quibus aut venistis ab oris?
Quove tenetis iter? Quærenti talibus ille,
Suspirans, imoque trahens a pectore vocem:

O Dea! si prima repetens ab origine pergam,
Et vacet annalis nostrorum audire laborum;
Ante diem clauso componet vesper Olympo.
Nos Troja antiqua, si vestras forte per auris
Trojæ nomen iit, diversa per æquora vectos,

Forte sua Libycis tempestas appulit oris.
Sum pius Æneas, raptos qui ex hoste Penates
Classe veho mecum, fama super æthera notus.
Italiam quæro patriam, genus ab Jove summo.
Bis denis Phrygium conscendi navibus æquor,
Matre dea monstrante viam, data fata secutus:
Vix septem convolsæ undis Euroque, supersunt.
Ipse ignotus, egens, Libya deserta peragro,
Europa atque Asia pulsus. Nec plura querentem
Passa Venus medio sic interfata dolore est:

Quisquis es, haud, credo, invisus coelestibus auras
Vitales carpis, Tyriam qui adveneris urbem.
Perge modo, atque hinc te reginæ ad limina perfer.
Namque tibi reduces socios, classemque relatam,
Nuntio, et in tutum versis Aquilonibus actam;
Ni frustra augurium vani docuere parentes.
Adspice bis senos lætantis agmine cycnos,
Etheria quos lapsa plaga Jovis ales aperto
Turbabat cœlo: nunc terras ordine longo
Aut capere, aut captas jam despectare, videntur.
Ut reduces illi ludunt stridentibus alis,
Et coetu cinxere polum, cantusque dedere;
Haud aliter puppesque tuæ, pubesque tuorum
Aut portum tenet, aut pleno subit ostia velo.
Perge modo, et qua te ducit via, dirige gressum.

Dixit, et, avertens rosea cervice refulsit,
Ambrosiæque comæ divinum vertice odorem
Spiravere; pedes vestis defluxit ad imos,

Et vera incessu patuit dea. Ille, ubi matrem
Agnovit, tali fugientem est voce secutus:
Quid natum toties, crudelis tu quoque, falsis

Ludis imaginibus? cur dextræ jungere dextram
Non datur, ac veras audire et reddere voces ?
Talibus incusat, gressumque ad moenia tendit.
At Venus obscuro gradientis aëre sepsit,
Et multo nebulæ circum dea fudit amictu;
Cernere ne quis eos, neu quis contingere posset,
Molirive moram, aut veniendi poscere caussas.
Ipsa Paphum sublimis abit, sedesque revisit
Læta suas: ubi templum illi, centumque Sabæɔ
Ture calent aræ, sertisque recentibus halant.

Corripuere viam interea, qua semita monstrat:
Jamque adscendebant collem, qui plurimus urbi
Imminet, adversasque adspectat desuper arces.
Miratur molem Eneas, magalia quondam:
Miratur portas, strepitumque, et strata viarum.
Instant ardentes Tyrii: pars ducere muros,
Molirique arcem, et manibus subvolvere saxa:
Pars optare locum tecto, et concludere sulco.
Jura magistratusque legunt, sanctumque senatum.
Hic portus alii effodiunt: hic alta theatris
Fundamenta locant alii, immanisque columnas
Rupibus excidunt, scenis decora alta futuris.
Qualis apes, æstate nova, per florea rura
Exercet sub sole labor, quum gentis adultos
Educunt fetus, aut quum liquentia mella
Stipant, et dulci distendunt nectare cellas;
Aut onera accipiunt venientum, aut, agmine facto,
Ignavum fucos pecus a præsepibus arcent:
Fervet opus, redolentque thymo fragrantia mella.
O fortunati! quorum jam monia surgunt,

Per medios, miscetque viris; neque cernitur ulli.
Lucus in urbe fuit media, lætissimus umbræ,
Quo primum, jactati undis et turbine, Pœni
Effodêre loco signum, quod regia Juno
Monstrârat, caput acris equi; sic nam fore bello
Egregiam, et facilem victu per sæcula, gentem.
Hic templum Junoni ingens Sidonia Dido
Condebat, donis opulentum et numine diva:
Ærea cui gradibus surgebant limina, nexæque
Ære trabes; foribus cardo stridebat aënis.
Hoc primum in luco nova res oblata timorem
Leniit: hic primum Æneas sperare salutem
Ausus, et afflictis melius confidere rebus.
Namque, sub ingenti lustrat dum singula templo,
Reginam opperiens, dum, quæ fortuna sit urbi,
Artificumque manus inter se, operumque laborem,
Miratur, videt Iliacas ex ordine pugnas,
Bellaque, jam fama totum volgata per orbem,
Atridas, Priamumque, et sævum ambobus Achillem.
Constitit; et, lacrimans, Quis jam locus, inquit, Achate,
Quæ regio in terris nostri non plena laboris ?
En Priamus! Sunt hic etiam sua præmia laudi :
Sunt lacrimæ rerum; et mentem mortalia tangunt.
Solve metus; feret hæc aliquam tibi fama salutem.
Sic ait, atque animum pictura pascit inani,
Multa gemens, largoque humectat flumine voltum.
Namque videbat, uti bellantes Pergama circum
Hac fugerent Graii, premeret Trojana juventus:
Hac Phryges; instaret curru cristatus Achilles.

Nec procul hinc Rhesi niveis tentoria velis
Agnoscit lacrimans; primo quæ prodita somno
Tydides multa vastabat cæde cruentus;
Ardentisque avertit equos in castra, priusquam
Pabula gustâssent Troja, Xanthumque bibissent.
Parte alia fugiens amissis Troilus armis,
Infelix puer, atque impar congressus Achilli,
Fertur equis, curruque hæret resupinus inani,
Lora tenens tamen: huie cervixque comæque trahuntur
Per terram, et versa pulvis inscribitur hasta.
Interea ad templum non æquæ Palladis ibant
Crinibus Iliades passis, peplumque ferebant,
Suppliciter tristes, et tunsæ pectora palmis:
Diva solo fixos oculos aversa tenebat.

Ter circum Iliacos raptaverat Hectora muros,
Exanimumque auro corpus vendebat Achilles.
Tum vero ingentem gemitum dat pectore ab imo,
Ut spolia, ut currus, utque ipsum corpus amici,
Tendentemque manus Priamum conspexit inermis.
Se quoque principibus permixtum agnovit Achivis,
Eoasque acies, et nigri Memnonis arma.
Ducit Amazonidum lunatis agmina peltis
Penthesilea furens, mediisque in millibus ardet,
Aurea subnectens exsertæ cingula mammæ,
Bellatrix; audetque viris concurrere virgo.

Hæc dum Dardanio Æneæ miranda videntur,
Dum stupet, obtutuque hæret defixus in uno;
Regina ad templum, formâ pulcherrima, Dido
Incessit, magna juvenum stipante caterva.
