Page 91 - Spiritus intus alit: totamque infusa per artus ' Mens agitat molem, et magno se corpore miscet ' Inde hominum pecudumque genus vitaeque volantum ' Et quae marmoreo fert monstra sub aequore pontus. ' Igneus est ollis vigor et caelestis origo 730 ' Seminibus, quantum non noxia corpora tardant ' Terrenique hebetant artus moribundaque membra.
Page 73 - At, Phoebi nondum patiens, immanis in antro bacchatur vates, magnum si pectore possit excussisse deum ; tanto magis ille fatigat os rabidum, fera corda domans, fingitque premendo.
Page 31 - Aeneas aspectu obmutuit amens, arrectaeque horrore comae et vox faucibus haesit. 280 ardet abire fuga dulcisque relinquere terras attonitus tanto monitu imperioque deorum. heu quid agat? quo nunc reginam ambire furentem audeat adfatu ? quae prima exordia sumat ? atque animum nunc hue celerem, nunc dividit illuc, 285 in partisque rapit varias perque omnia versat.
Page 32 - Te propter Libycae gentes Nomadumque tyranni 320 odere, infensi Tyrii ; te propter eundem exstinctus pudor et, qua sola sidera adibam, fama prior. Cui me moribundam deseris, hospes? hoc solum nomen quoniam de coniuge restat.
Page 31 - Si te nulla movet tantarum gloria rerum, [nec super ipse tua moliris laude laborem,] Ascanium surgentem et spes heredis luli respice, cui regnum Italiae Romanaque tellus 275 debentur/ Tali Cyllenius ore locutus mortales visus medio sermone reliquit, et procul in tenuem ex oculis evanuit auram.
Page 83 - Continuo auditae voces vagitus et ingens, infantumque animae flentes, in limine primo quos dulcis vitae exsortis et ab ubere raptos abstulit atra dies et funere mersit acerbo.
Page 5 - But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near; And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity.
Page 80 - Nee ripas datur horrendas et rauca fluenta transportare prius quam sedibus ossa quierunt. Centum errant annos volitantque haec litora circum ; turn demum admissi stagna exoptata revisunt.
Page 41 - Tum vos, o Tyrii, stirpem et genus omne futurum exercete odiis, cinerique haec mittite nostro munera. Nullus amor populis, nec foedera sunto. Exoriare aliquis nostris ex ossibus ultor, 625 qui face Dardanios ferroque sequare colonos, nunc, olim, quocumque dabunt se tempore vires.
