Corpora fundat humi, et numerum cum navibus æquet.
Hinc portum petit, et socios partitur in omnis.
Vina, bonus quæ, deinde, cadis onerarat Acestes
Littore Trinacrio, dederatque abeuntibus heros,
Dividit, et dictis morentia pectora mulcet:

O socii! neque enim ignari sumus ante malorum;
O passi graviora! dabit Deus his quoque finem.
Vos et Scyllæam rabiem penitusque sonantis
Accêstis scopulos: vos et Cyclopea saxa
Experti. Revocate animos, moestumque timorem
Mittite: forsan et hæc olim meminisse juvabit.
Per varios casus, per tot discrimina rerum,
Tendimus in Latium; sedes ubi fata quietas
Ostendunt: illic fas regna resurgere Trojæ.
Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis.

Talia voce refert; curisque ingentibus æger
Spem voltu simulat, premit altum corde dolorem.
Illi se prædæ accingunt dapibusque futuris:
Tergora deripiunt costis, et viscera nudant.
Pars in frusta secant, veribusque trementia figunt:
Littore aëna locant alii, flammasque ministrant.
Tum victu revocant vires; fusique per herbam
Implentur veteris Bacchi pinguisque ferinæ.
Postquam exempta fames epulis, mensæque remotæ,
Amissos longo socios sermone requirunt,
Spemque metumque inter dubii, seu vivere credant,
Sive extrema pati, nec jam exaudire vocatos.
Præcipue pius Æneas, nunc acris Oronti,
Nunc Amyci casum gemit, et crudelia secum
Fata Lyci, fortemque Gyan, fortemque Cloanthum.

Et jam finis erat: quum Jupiter, æthere summo

Despiciens mare velivolum, terrasque jacentis,
Littoraque, et latos populos, sic vertice cœli
Constitit, et Libyæ defixit lumina regnis.
Atque illum, talis jactantem pectore curas,
Tristior, et lacrimis oculos suffusa nitentis,
Alloquitur Venus: O qui res hominumque deûmque
Æternis regis imperiis, et fulmine terres!
Quid meus Æneas in te committere tantum,
Quid Troës potuere? quibus, tot funera passis,
Cunctus ob Italiam terrarum clauditur orbis.
Certe hinc Romanos olim, volventibus annis,
Hinc fore ductores, revocato a sanguine Teucri,
Qui mare, qui terras omni ditione tenerent,
Pollicitus. Quæ te, Genitor, sententia vertit?
Hoc equidem occasum Troja, tristisque ruinas,
Solabar, fatis contraria fata rependens.

Nunc eadem fortuna viros, tot casibus actos,
Insequitur. Quem das finem, Rex magne, laborum ?
Antenor potuit, mediis elapsus Achivis,

Illyricos penetrare sinus atque intima tutus
Regna Liburnorum, et fontem superare Timavi:
Unde per ora novem vasto eum murmure montis
It mare proruptum, et pelago premit arva sonanti.
Hic tamen ille urbem Patavi, sedesque locavit
Teucrorum, et genti nomen dedit, armaque fixit
Troïa; nune placida compostus pace quiescit.
Nos, tua progenies, cœli quibus annuis arcem,
Navibus, infandum! amissis, unius ob iram
Prodimur, atque Italis longe disjungimur oris.
Hic pietatis honos? sic nos in sceptra reponis?
Olli subridens hominum sator atque deorum

Voltu, quo cœlum tempestatesque serenat,
Oscula libavit natæ; dehinc talia fatur:
Parce metu, Cytherea; manent immota tuorum
Fata tibi; cernes urbem et promissa Lavinî
Moenia, sublimemque feres ad sidera cœli
Magnanimum Ænean: neque me sententia vertit.
Hic (tibi fabor enim, quando hæc te cura remordet,
Longius et volvens fatorum arcana movebo)
Bellum ingens geret Italia, populosque ferocis
Contundet; moresque viris et moenia ponet:
Tertia dum Latio regnantem viderit æstas,
Ternaque transierint Rutulis hiberna subactis.
At puer Ascanius, cui nunc cognomen Iulo
Additur (Ilus erat dum res stetit Ilia regno),
Triginta magnos volvendis mensibus orbis
Imperio explebit, regnumque ab sede Lavinî
Transferet, et longam multa vi muniet Albam.
Hic jam ter centum totos regnabitur annos
Gente sub Hectorea; donec regina sacerdos,
Marte gravis, geminam partu dabit Ilia prolem.
Inde, lupa fulvo nutricis tegmine lætus,
Romulus excipiet gentem, et Mavortia condet
Moenia, Romanosque suo de nomine dicet.
His ego nec metas rerum, nec tempora, pono;
Imperium sine fine dedi. Quin aspera Juno,

Quum domus Assaraci Phthiam clarasque Mycenas
Servitio premet, ac victis dominabitur Argis.
Nascetur pulchra Trojanus origine Caesar,
Imperium Oceano, famam qui terminet astris,
Julius, a magno demissum nomen Iulo.
Hunc tu olim cœlo, spoliis orientis onustum,
Accipies secura: vocabitur hic quoque votis.
Aspera tum positis mitescent sæcula bellis;
Cana Fides, et Vesta, Remo cum fratre Quirinus,
Jura dabunt; diræ ferro et compagibus arctis
Claudentur Belli portæ; Furor impius intus,
Sæva sedens super arma, et centum vinctus aënis
Post tergum nodis, fremet horridus ore cruento.

Hæc ait: et Maia genitum demittit ab alto,
Ut terræ, utque novæ pateant Carthaginis arces,
Hospitio Teucris; ne fati nescia Dido
Finibus arceret. Volat ille per aëra magnum
Remigio alarum; ac Libya citus adstitit oris.
Et jam jussa facit; ponuntque ferocia Poeni
Corda, volente deo. In primis regina quietum
Accipit in Teucros animum, mentemque benignam.
At pius Æneas, per noctem plurima volvens,
Ut primum lux alma data est, exire, locosque
Explorare novos; quas vento accesserit oras,
Qui teneant, nam inculta videt, hominesne feræne,
Quærere constituit, sociisque exacta referre.
Classem in convexo nemorum, sub rupe cavata,
Arboribus clausam circum atque horrentibus umbris,
Occulit: ipse uno graditur comitatus Achate,
Bina manu lato crispans hastilia ferro.
Cui mater media sese tulit obvia silva,

Virginis os habitumque gerens, et virginis arma

Spartanæ; vel qualis equos Threïssa fatigat
Harpalyce, volucremque fuga prævertitur Eurum.
Namque humeris de more habilem suspenderat arcum
Venatrix, dederatque comam diffundere ventis,
Nuda genu, nodoque sinus collecta fluentis.
Ac prior, Heus, inquit, juvenes! monstrate, mearum
Vidistis si quam hic errantem forte sororum,
Succinctam pharetra, et maculosæ tegmine lyncis,
Aut spumantis apri cursum clamore prementem.
Sic Venus; et Veneris contra sic filius orsus:
Nulla tuarum audita mihi neque visa sororum,
O, quam te memorem? Virgo! namque haud tibi voltus
Mortalis, nec vox hominem sonat; o, Dea certe!
An Phoebi soror? an Nympharum sanguinis una?
Sis felix, nostrumque leves, quæcumque, laborem;
Et, quo sub cœlo tandem, quibus orbis in oris,
Jactemur, doceas: ignari hominumque locorumque
Erramus, vento huc et vastis fluctibus acti:
Multa tibi ante aras nostra cadet hostia dextra.

Tum Venus: Haud equidem tali me dignor honore: 335 7 Virginibus Tyriis mos est gestare pharetram, Purpureoque alte suras vincire cothurno. Punica regna vides, Tyrios, et Agenoris urbem: Sed fines Libyci, genus intractabile bello. Imperium Dido, Tyria, regit, urbe profecta, Germanum fugiens. Longa est injuria, longæ Ambages: sed summa sequar fastigia rerum. Huic conjunx Sychæus erat, ditissimus agri Phœnicum, et magno miseræ dilectus amore: Cui pater intactam dederat, primisque jugârat
