Page 15 - Flectere ludus equos et spicula tendere cornu. At patiens operum parvoque adsueta iuventus Aut rastris terram domat, aut quatit oppida bello. Omne aevum ferro teritur, versaque iuvencum Terga fatigamus hasta ; nec tarda senectus Debilitat viris animi mutatque vigorem : Canitiem galea premimus ; semperque recentis Comportare iuvat praedas et vivere rapto.
Page 34 - Dulces exuviae, dum fata deusque sinebant, accipite hanc animam, meque his exsolvite curis. Vixi, et, quem dederat cursum fortuna, peregi, et nunc magna mei sub terras ibit imago. Urbem praeclaram statui ; mea moenia vidi ; 655 ulta virum, poenas inimico a fratre recepi ; felix, heu nimium felix, si litora tantum numquam Dardaniae tetigissent nostra carinae ! ' Dixit, et os impressa toro, ' Moriemur inultae, sed moriamur
Page 21 - Perusia capta in plurimos animadvertit, orare veniam vel excusare se conantibus una voce occurrens " moriendum esse." Scribunt quidam trecentos ex dediticiis electos utriusque ordinis ad aram Divo lulio exstructam Idibus Martiis hostiarum more mactatos.
Page 33 - Sed mihi vel tellus optem prius ima dehiscat, 'Vel Pater omnipotens adigat me fulmine ad umbras, 25 'Pallentes umbras Erebi noctemque profundam, 'Ante, Pudor, quam te violo, aut tua iura resolvo. 'Ille meos, primus qui me sibi iunxit, amores 'Abstulit; ille habeat secum servetque sepulchro.
Page 12 - Et nos fas extera quaerere regna. 350 me patris Anchisae, quotiens umentibus umbris nox operit terras, quotiens astra ignea surgunt, admonet in somnis et turbida terret imago ; me puer Ascanius capitisque injuria cari, quem regno Hesperiae fraudo et fatalibus arvis.
Page 17 - Inpiger Aenea, volitantis frater Amoris, Troica qui profugis sacra vehis ratibus, lam tibi Laurentes adsignat luppiter agros, lam vocat errantes hospita terra Lares. Illic sanctus eris, cum te veneranda Numici Unda deum caelo miserit Indigetem. Ecce super fessas volitat Victoria puppes, Tandem ad Troianos diva superba venit. Ecce mihi lucent Rutulis incendia castris: 30 35 40 45 30.
Page 37 - Obstipuit varia confusus imagine rerum 665 Turnus, et obtutu tacito stetit; aestuat ingens Uno in corde pudor mixtoque insania luctu Et furiis agitatus amor et conscia virtus.
Page 22 - At vero ut voltum vidit morientis et ora, Ora modis Anchisiades pallentia miris, Ingemuit miserans graviter, dextramque tetendit, Et mentem patriae subiit pietatis imago. " Quid tibi nunc, miserande puer, pro laudibus istis, Quid pius Aeneas tanta dabit indole dignum? 826 Arma, quibus laetatus, habe tua; teque parentum Manibus et cineri, si qua est ea cura, remitto. Hoc tamen infelix miseram solabere mortem : Aeneae magni dextra cadis.
