29358 | 671 What shall betide the fellowship that followed me to war, Whom I have left? |
29358 | 70 To trust the Tuscan faith, and stir the peaceful folk to fight? |
29358 | 720 How can such mad desire be to win the worldly day?" |
29358 | 740"Where rushest thou?" |
29358 | 779 Then Mnestheus cries:"And whither now, and whither will ye flee? |
29358 | 810"Ah, whither rushest thou to die, and darest things o''ergreat? |
29358 | 840 Great Cato, can I leave thee then untold? |
29358 | Ah, shall I see Laurentum''s walls, or see my camp once more? |
29358 | Ah, what to do? |
29358 | Ah, what to do? |
29358 | Ah, what to do? |
29358 | Ah, whom to follow? |
29358 | Am I undying? |
29358 | And Pallas, might not she Burn up the Argive fleet and sink the Argives in the sea 40 For Oileus''only fault and fury that he wrought? |
29358 | And art thou that Æneas then, whom holy Venus bore Unto Anchises, Dardan lord, by Phrygian Simoïs''wave? |
29358 | And hath no eyes Ausonian sons, Lavinian land to see? |
29358 | And now-- the one shame wanting yet-- shall I stand deedless by Their houses''wrack, nor let my sword cast back that Drances''lie? |
29358 | And seest thou not how round about the peril gathered is? |
29358 | And shall I mine Æneas trust to lying breeze forsooth, 850 I, fool of peaceful heaven and sea so many times of old?" |
29358 | And shall I send thee unto deeds so perilous alone? |
29358 | And shall Æneas well assured stray every peril through? |
29358 | And where is he, thy master then, that God, That Eryx, told of oft in vain? |
29358 | And whither wend ye on your ways by road untried before? |
29358 | And wilt thou see the Tarquin kings and Brutus''lofty heart, And fasces brought aback again by his avenging part? |
29358 | And wouldst thou have me welter through such woeful tide of pain? |
29358 | And, witless, hear''st not Zephyr blow with gentle, happy wind? |
29358 | Answered her son, that swayeth still the stars that rule the earth:"O mother, whither call''st thou Fate? |
29358 | Are these Ulysses''shifts? |
29358 | Built I with hands, on Father- Gods with crying did I cry 680 To be away, a cruel heart, from thee laid down to die? |
29358 | But Palinure with scarce- raised eyes e''en such an answer gave:"To gentle countenance of sea and quiet of the wave Deem''st thou me dull? |
29358 | But ah, for death of such an one is Dian''s arrow due?" |
29358 | But doubtful, say ye, were the fate of battle? |
29358 | But if I would, who giveth leave, or takes on scornful keel 540 The hated thing? |
29358 | But these your ships, what counsel or what lack Hath borne them to Ausonian strand o''er all the blue sea''s back? |
29358 | But what shall be the end hereof? |
29358 | But whither waver I so oft? |
29358 | But who believed that Teucrian folk on any day might come Unto Hesperia''s shores? |
29358 | But who may hoodwink loving eyes? |
29358 | But whose will thee hath sent From high Olympus''house to bear such troubles, and so great? |
29358 | But ye, my chosen, who is dight with me to break the wall, That we upon their quaking camp with point and edge may fall? |
29358 | Deem ye that Danaan gifts May ever lack due share of guile? |
29358 | Deem ye the foe hath fared away? |
29358 | Deem''st thou dead ash or buried ghosts have heed of such- like things? |
29358 | Did I set weapons in his hand, breed lust to breed debate? |
29358 | Did I the Dardan lecher lead, who Sparta''s jewel reft? |
29358 | Do him Æneas, Hector gone, father and uncle, stir, To valour of the ancient days, and great hearts''glorious gain?'' |
29358 | Doth Hector''s own Andromache yet serve in Pyrrhus''bed?'' |
29358 | Fabii, where drive ye me outworn? |
29358 | Fabricius, poor and strong? |
29358 | Father Anchises seeth and saith:''New land, and bear''st thou war? |
29358 | Father, doth the counsel shift in thee? |
29358 | Feel''st not another might than man''s, and Heaven upon his part? |
29358 | For did he sigh the while I wept? |
29358 | For justice shall I praise thee most, or battle''s mastery? |
29358 | For what do I? |
29358 | From us, your friends, why must ye flee away? |
29358 | Had ye no might to wend as slaves? |
29358 | Hath any fortune worthy thee come back again at last? |
29358 | Hath he been vanquished unto tears, or pitied her that loved? |
29358 | He brake all right, slew Polydore, and all the gold he got Perforce: O thou gold- hunger cursed, and whither driv''st thou not The hearts of men? |
29358 | How many bodies of the slain laidst thou upon the field? |
29358 | How may I by early perils fare? |
29358 | How may I harden me''gainst this? |
29358 | If Carthage braveries And lovely look of Libyan walls hold fast thy Tyrian eyes, Why wilt thou grudge the Teucrian men Ausonian dwelling- place? |
29358 | If I am ready, Turnus dead, peace with these men to bind, Shall I not rather while thou liv''st cast all the war away? |
29358 | Is death, then, such a misery? |
29358 | Is it blind strayings o''er the sea that hither doth thee drive, Or bidding of the Gods? |
29358 | Is this the coming back again? |
29358 | Is this the good man''s guerdon then? |
29358 | Lo, here is Eryx''brother- land; Acestes is our host; 630 What banneth us to found our walls and lawful cities gain? |
29358 | My early glory.--Guest, to whom leav''st thou thy dying friend? |
29358 | Nay, where is gone thine hallowed faith, thy kinsomeness of yore? |
29358 | No less unto the wavy sea Menoetes, fearing hidden rocks, still turns away the bow: Gyas would shout him back again:"Menoetes, whither now? |
29358 | Now Nisus saith:"Doth very God so set the heart on fire, Euryalus, or doth each man make God of his desire? |
29358 | Now why the war that I forbade? |
29358 | O Father, hast thou nought of ruth of her, forsooth, and thee? |
29358 | O Father, is our dread of nothing worth When thou art thundering? |
29358 | O Jupiter, was this thy will, that nations doomed to live In peace hereafter, on that day in such a broil should strive? |
29358 | O children of Laomedon, the war then will ye gain? |
29358 | O evil Love, where wilt thou not drive on a mortal breast? |
29358 | O son, to me bringest thou back no more 490 Than this? |
29358 | Of ship- host burnt on Eryx shore why should I tell the tale? |
29358 | On whom of men, on whom of Gods, then laid I not the guilt? |
29358 | Or choose them sons- in- law, or brides from mothers''bosoms tear? |
29358 | Or doing what may I have might such toil to overbear?'' |
29358 | Or great Alcides? |
29358 | Or house of Gracchus? |
29358 | Or of the king of wind and storm, or wild and windy crowd Æolia bred, or Iris sent adown the space of cloud? |
29358 | Or shall he cast himself amid the swords to die, And hasten down the way of wounds to lovely death anigh? |
29358 | Or thee, Serranus, casting seed adown the furrows long? |
29358 | Or what of Gods hath borne thee on unwitting to our shore? |
29358 | Or, holding peace within their hands, lade ships with weapon- gear? |
29358 | Our love, it hath not held thee back? |
29358 | Paphus thou hast, Idalium, and high Cythera fair, Then why with cities big with war and hearts of warriors deal? |
29358 | Phoebus''sister? |
29358 | Right to give Turnus-- but for thee how was Juturna strong?-- The sword he lost? |
29358 | Say, Muse, what God from Teucrian folk such sore destruction turned? |
29358 | Shall I bemocked my early lovers try, And go Numidian wedlock now on bended knee to buy: I, who so often scorned to take their bridal- bearing hands? |
29358 | Shall I give back, and shall this land see craven Turnus fled? |
29358 | Shall I see never more Xanthus or Simoïs, like the streams where Hector dwelt of yore? |
29358 | Shall fear forsooth forbid us rest in that Ausonian land? |
29358 | Shall keels of mortal fashioning gain immortality? |
29358 | Shall no walls more be called of Troy? |
29358 | Shall this be right? |
29358 | So much he spake, and went his way to meet the foeman''s shaft; But spake the other:"Bitter wretch, who took''st away my son, Why fright me now? |
29358 | So wretchedly I rush to arms with all intent to die; For what availeth wisdom now, what hope in fate may lie? |
29358 | The Fates forbid it me forsooth? |
29358 | The sackless Harpies will ye drive from their own land away? |
29358 | Thee, who hast wooed me for thy sire, my daughter for thy bride? |
29358 | Then Turnus answered, with his eyes fixed on the awful maid:"O glory of Italian land, how shall the thanks be paid Worthy thy part? |
29358 | Then brake the God on him:"Forsooth, tall Carthage wilt thou found, O lover, and a city fair raise up from out the ground? |
29358 | Then called the helmsman Palinure from lofty deck on high:"Ah, wherefore doth such cloud of storm gird all the heavens about? |
29358 | Then cries Iapis:"Loiter ye? |
29358 | Then fearfully Æneas stayed, and drank the tumult in:"O tell me, Maiden, what is there? |
29358 | Then spake Queen Juno, heavy wroth:"Why driv''st thou me to part My deep- set silence, and lay bare with words my grief of heart? |
29358 | Then spake the Father, overcome by Love that ne''er hath waned:"Why fish thy reasons from the deep? |
29358 | There in the open house they sit, and he himself begins:"O Dwellers in the House of Heaven, why backward thuswise wins Your purpose? |
29358 | They break in on me, and he their fellow is, Ulysses, preacher of all guilt.--O Gods, will ye not pay The Greeks for all? |
29358 | Thine hand that oft to Turnus''hand, thy kinsman, promise bore? |
29358 | Thy mastering will I know it holdeth good, O Jove the great!--was this the gift thou gav''st for maidenhood? |
29358 | To trust his walls and utmost point of war unto a boy? |
29358 | Unto whom giv''st thou Iulus''life, Thy father''s, yea and mine withal, that once was called thy wife?'' |
29358 | Unto whom the Tuscan spake, when he Got sense again, and breathed the air, and o''er him heaven did see:"O bitter foe, why chidest thou? |
29358 | Was it thy very death I wrought? |
29358 | Was it to see thy brother''s end and most unhappy fate? |
29358 | Was there no dead man''s place for you on that Sigean plain? |
29358 | Was there no time for one last word amid my misery? |
29358 | We!--or the one who thwart the Greeks the wretched Trojans dashed? |
29358 | What God hath driven him to lie, what hardness of my might? |
29358 | What God sent you to Italy? |
29358 | What do I? |
29358 | What doth he? |
29358 | What earth hides thy body, mangled sore, And perished limbs? |
29358 | What end of toil then giv''st thou, King of heaven? |
29358 | What folk and from what home are ye? |
29358 | What force to dare, what stroke to snatch away The youth? |
29358 | What gift for Gods; what gin of war is he?'' |
29358 | What hath fouled in such an evil wise Thy cheerful face? |
29358 | What hath yoked thy life to this wild shore? |
29358 | What heal is left in aught that may befall? |
29358 | What if a peace that shall endure, and wedlock surely bound, 99 We fashion? |
29358 | What images of sin? |
29358 | What joyful ages brought Thy days to birth? |
29358 | What madness changeth me? |
29358 | What man might hear it told Of Dolopes, or Myrmidons, or hard Ulysses''band, And keep the tears back? |
29358 | What men among men are ye then? |
29358 | What might have Trojan men to sin? |
29358 | What of the boy Ascanius? |
29358 | What one of all the Gods or men Æneas drave to go On warring ways, or bear himself as King Latinus''foe? |
29358 | What other walls, what other town have ye a hope to find? |
29358 | What praise of words is left to me to raise thee to the sky? |
29358 | What saw I bitterer to be borne in all the city spilt? |
29358 | What seek the souls, and why must some depart the river''s rim, While others with the sweep of oars the leaden waters skim?" |
29358 | What the wail yon city casts abroad?" |
29358 | What then is left of deed to do that yet I must abide? |
29358 | What then? |
29358 | What was the guilt of Lapithæ? |
29358 | What will ye, Father Neptune, now?" |
29358 | What winds, what fates gave thee the road to cross the ocean o''er? |
29358 | What, saw they not the war- walls of Troy- town, The fashioning of Neptune''s hand, amid the flame sink down? |
29358 | What, what will ye?" |
29358 | Whence this so sudden clear Of weather? |
29358 | Whence? |
29358 | Where hurrieth he? |
29358 | Where is the fierce heart?" |
29358 | Where shall I seek thee, gathering up that tangle of the ways 390 Through the blind wood?" |
29358 | Where shall I seek thee? |
29358 | Where shall I turn so left alone? |
29358 | Wherein hath Fortune worn thee so, That thou, midst sunless houses sad, confused lands, must go?" |
29358 | While I, who go forth Queen of Gods, the very Highest''s bride And sister, must I wage a war for all these many years With one lone race? |
29358 | Who drave away from Trojan keels so mighty great a flame? |
29358 | Who had the might to deal thee this? |
29358 | Who knoweth not Æneas''folk? |
29358 | Whom first, whom last, O bitter Maid, didst thou overthrow with spear? |
29358 | Whom fleest thou? |
29358 | Whom fleest thou? |
29358 | Whom unto thee when Troy yet was---- 340 The boy then, of his mother lost, hath he a thought of her? |
29358 | Why arm they not? |
29358 | Why bear our hands these useless spears, this steel not made for fight? |
29358 | Why bide I till Pygmalion comes to lay my walls alow, Till taken by Getulian kings, Iarbas''slave I go? |
29358 | Why doubt''st thou? |
29358 | Why fleest thou not in haste away, while haste is yet to win? |
29358 | Why gather not from all the town in chase? |
29358 | Why give me everlasting life, and death- doom take away? |
29358 | Why hide it now? |
29358 | Why kept I not the faith of old to my Sychæus sworn?" |
29358 | Why linger? |
29358 | Why quake our limbs, yea e''en before they feel the trumpet''s gale? |
29358 | Why ragest thou? |
29358 | Why tell those deaths unspeakable, and many a tyrant''s deed? |
29358 | Why was I not allowed to live without the bridal bed, 550 Sackless and free as beasts afield, with no woes wearièd? |
29358 | Why, with hearts unruled, raise ye the strife so sore? |
29358 | Wilt thou not first behold the place where worn by eld is he, Anchises, left? |
29358 | Wilt thou not see if yet thy wife abide Creusa, or Ascanius yet? |
29358 | Wilt thou not set thy speed aside, and''gainst me dare the fight On equal ground, and gird thyself for foot- fight face to face? |
29358 | With all the emptiness of hope his headlong heart he fed:"Where fleest thou, Æneas, then? |
29358 | Works Juno here, or Iris sent adown the cloudy way? |
29358 | Yea, and what brought it all about that thus in arms they clashed, 90 Europe and Asia? |
29358 | Yea, hast thou not within thy mind amidst whose bounds we are? |
29358 | Yea, or ye, twin thunderbolts of war, Ye Scipios, bane of Libyan land? |
29358 | ah me, where have I left thy face? |
29358 | and hast thou hoped with lies to cover o''er Such wickedness, and silently to get thee from my shore? |
29358 | and have I followed this o''er every land and sea? |
29358 | and is he gone? |
29358 | and is it peace or war?" |
29358 | and is thy Mars indeed A dweller in the windy tongue and feet well learned in speed, 390 The same today as yesterday? |
29358 | and shall I follow lone the joyous mariners? |
29358 | and why hath Fate held back your doom till now? |
29358 | and why with images and lies Dost thou beguile me? |
29358 | and with what word may he be bold to win Peace of the Queen all mad with love? |
29358 | by what craft shall I stay Thy light of life? |
29358 | com''st thou a messenger 310 Alive indeed? |
29358 | doth her own heart know the deed that all this wrath hath won? |
29358 | fellows, from the lofty ships come ye but even now?'' |
29358 | forsooth What place, what land in all the earth but with our grief is stored? |
29358 | from what shore com''st thou then, Long- looked- for Hector? |
29358 | gave Troy so poor a flame To burn her men, that through the fire and through the swords ye came? |
29358 | hadst thou the heart to leave me lone and spent? |
29358 | hangs Turnus back again? |
29358 | hath any God the power such things to do? |
29358 | he cried,"what mighty grief stirs up the city so? |
29358 | his eyes-- what were they moved? |
29358 | hoping for what hope in Libya dost thou wear Thy days? |
29358 | how cast myself in such a monster''s way? |
29358 | is there left a soul that Juno fears Henceforth? |
29358 | is this the promised throne?" |
29358 | is this the triumph won? |
29358 | lack we aught in might or muster- roll 230 To match them? |
29358 | lives he and breathes he yet? |
29358 | might I see thee not on such a peril sent? |
29358 | must I wait till Turnus grows fain of the battle- play? |
29358 | no shame, no pity do they raise?" |
29358 | nor Dido doomed to die a bitter death? |
29358 | nor right hand given in faith Awhile agone? |
29358 | on every side they hedge the wall about Go we against them!--tarriest thou? |
29358 | or if from thee the holy light is fled, Where then is Hector?'' |
29358 | or of nymphs whom shall I call thee now? |
29358 | or vanquished men, to give their might increase? |
29358 | or whither then is gone thy heed of me? |
29358 | or who might trow Cassandra then? |
29358 | or who would wish war against thee to hold, If only this may come to pass, and fate the deed may seal? |
29358 | or will one suppliant hand gifts on mine altar lay?" |
29358 | pass Cossus o''er? |
29358 | seaward then, or Troyward shall we fall?" |
29358 | tarrying for what hope among the enemy? |
29358 | that at last, so many died away, Such toil of city, toil of men, we see thy face today, We so forewearied? |
29358 | that men brake the plighted peace by theft? |
29358 | there breaks withal a voice from out her breast:''What, war to pay for slaughtered neat, war for our heifers slain? |
29358 | thy lordship and thy deeds hast thou forgotten quite? |
29358 | was it right that mortal wound a God''s own flesh should wrong? |
29358 | we it was who strove to wrack the fainting Trojan weal? |
29358 | what abyss of earth is deep enough to hide The wretched man? |
29358 | what country''s soil may bear Such savage ways? |
29358 | what crime wrought Calydon? |
29358 | what deed is left thine hand? |
29358 | what evil heart hast thou, With weapons thus to gird thyself, or whither wilt thou now? |
29358 | what folly shifts my mind? |
29358 | what hap hath caught thee up from such a man downcast? |
29358 | what is this that rolleth on, this misty, mirky ball? |
29358 | what madness hither sped? |
29358 | what man shall I come back again? |
29358 | what mean these hurts thou showest to mine eyes?'' |
29358 | what mighty ones gave such an one today? |
29358 | what skills it man to trust in Gods compelled to good? |
29358 | what sloth is this delayeth so your ways? |
29358 | what stronghold keep we yet?'' |
29358 | what wise shall he begin? |
29358 | what wouldst thou have them be? |
29358 | whence will he That we should seek us aid of toil; where turn to o''er the sea? |
29358 | where is thy fame sown broad Through all Trinacria, where the spoils hung up beneath thy roof?" |
29358 | where is thy trust in me, I prithee, O my God and Love? |
29358 | where to go? |
29358 | where wends our contest now? |
29358 | wherefore then is hand to hand not given And we to give and take in words that come from earth and heaven?" |
29358 | wherein our home set forth? |
29358 | whither? |
29358 | who driveth thee from these embraces fain?" |
29358 | who egged on these or those To fear or fight, or drave them on with edge of sword to close? |
29358 | who knoweth not Troy- town, The valour, and the men, and all the flame of such a war? |
29358 | why hold me back lest greater evil be? |
29358 | why leave thy plighted bride? |
29358 | why run ye not the ships down from their standing- place? |
29358 | why slayest thou with words? |
29358 | why this flight? |
29358 | why thus afoot, and why in weapons do ye wend, And whither go ye?" |
29358 | why tread I longer ways 480 Of speech, and stay the rising South with words that I would tell?'' |
29358 | would''st have me trow in such a monster''s truth? |
29358 | Æneas calls me only of the peers? |
29358 | Æneas cried:"where hurriest thou again? |
29358 | Æneas wondered at the press, and moved thereby he spoke:"Say, Maid, what means this river- side, and gathering of the folk? |
22456 | How stands the state, O Panthus? 22456 ''Ah, whither hurriest thou?'' 22456 ''Goddess- born, canst thou sleep on in such danger? 22456 ''How, O Turnus, can thine own sister help thee now? 22456 ''If this,''cries Nisus,''is the reward of defeat, and thy pity is stirred for the fallen, what fit recompense wilt thou give to Nisus? 22456 ''Lingerest thou to vow and pray,''she cries,''Aeneas of Troy? 22456 ''Take you not shame to be again held leaguered in your ramparts, O Phrygians twice taken, and to make walls your fence from death? 22456 ''Was it this, mine own? 22456 ''Was life''s hold on me so sweet, O my son, that I let him I bore receive the hostile stroke in my room? 22456 ''What guerdon shall I deem may be given you, O men, what recompense for these noble deeds? 22456 ''What now shall good Aeneas give thee, what, O poor boy, for this thy praise, for guerdon of a nature so noble? 22456 ''What shapes of crime are here? 22456 ''What strange madness is this?'' 22456 ''What terror, what utter cowardice hath fallen on your spirits, O never to be stung to shame, O slack alway? 22456 ''What yet shall be the end, O wife? 22456 ''Whither wanderest thou away? 22456 ''Who will be with me, my men, to be first on the foe? 22456 --''O father, must we think that any souls travel hence into upper air, and return again to bodily fetters? 22456 Achates first accosts Aeneas:''Goddess- born, what purpose now rises in thy spirit? 22456 Aeneas rushes up, drawing his sword from the scabbard, and thus above him:''Where now is gallant Mezentius and all his fierce spirit?'' 22456 Ah me, was I cause of thy death? 22456 Ah, and who is he apart, marked out with sprays of olive, offering sacrifice? 22456 Alas, what can he do? 22456 Alas, what shall he do? 22456 Am I, thy father, saved by these wounds of thine, and living by thy death? 22456 And Mnestheus:''Whither next, whither press you in flight? 22456 And Turnus pursuing and aiming as he ran, thus upbraids him in triumph:''Didst thou hope, madman, thou mightest escape our hands?'' 22456 And do we yet hesitate to give valour scope in deeds, or shrink in fear from setting foot on Ausonian land? 22456 And he:''Why seek to frighten me, fierce man, now my son is gone? 22456 And how should they let me, if I would? 22456 And then? 22456 And unfold the truth to this my question: wherefore have they reared this vast size of horse? 22456 Are we eating our tables too?_ cries Iülus jesting, and stops. 22456 Are we going to meet them? 22456 Art thou that Aeneas whom Venus the bountiful bore to Dardanian Anchises by the wave of Phrygian Simoïs? 22456 As she saw him glittering in arms and idly exultant:''Why,''she cries,''wanderest thou away? 22456 Believe you the foe is gone? 22456 But Aeneas presses on, brandishing his vast tree- like spear, and fiercely speaks thus:''What more delay is there[ 889- 924]now? 22456 But good Aeneas, his head bared, kept stretching his unarmed hand and calling loudly to his men:''Whither run you? 22456 But if so many oracles guided them, given by god and ghost, why may aught now reverse thine ordinance or write destiny anew? 22456 But to thee how did winds, how fates give passage? 22456 But what shall be the end? 22456 But when I assail a third spearshaft with a stronger effort, pulling with knees pressed against the sand; shall I speak or be silent? 22456 But who hath bidden thee descend from heaven to bear this sore travail? 22456 But who was to believe that Teucrians should come to Hesperian shores? 22456 But who, I pray, are you, or from what coasts come, or whither hold you your way?'' 22456 But why, unhappy, do I delay the Trojan arms? 22456 But you, my chosen, who of you makes ready to breach their palisade at the sword''s point, and join my attack on their fluttered camp? 22456 But, I think, my deity lies at last outwearied, or my hatred sleeps and is satisfied? 22456 By what means may he essay entrance? 22456 Careless, O winds, of my deity, dare you confound sky and earth, and raise so huge a coil? 22456 Caïcus raises a cry from the mound in front:''What mass of misty gloom, O citizens, is rolling hitherward? 22456 Comest thou driven on ocean wanderings, or by promptings from heaven? 22456 Could I not have riven his body in sunder and strewn it on the waves? 22456 Could Pallas lay the Argive fleet in ashes, and sink the Argives in the sea, for one man''s guilt, mad Oïlean Ajax? 22456 Could they be ensnared when taken? 22456 Could they perish on the Sigean[ 295- 326]plains? 22456 Couldst thou, the latest solace of mine age, leave me alone so cruelly? 22456 Deemest thou the ashes care for that, or the ghost within the tomb? 22456 Did the fires of Troy consume her people? 22456 Did these very hands build it, did my voice call on our father''s gods, that with thee lying thus I should be away as one without pity? 22456 Did we urge him to quit the camp or entrust his life to the winds? 22456 Didst thou disdain a sister''s company in death? 22456 Dost thou, Hector''s Andromache, keep bonds of marriage with Pyrrhus? |
22456 | Even so she begins, and thus revolves with her heart alone:''See, what do I? |
22456 | Fliest thou from me? |
22456 | Fliest thou not hence headlong, while headlong flight is yet possible? |
22456 | For what do I wait? |
22456 | For what further outrage do I wait? |
22456 | For what had counsel or chance yet to give? |
22456 | For why do I conceal it? |
22456 | From whom fliest thou? |
22456 | From whom fliest thou? |
22456 | Go,"he continues,"happy in thy son''s affection: why do I run on further, and delay the rising winds in talk?" |
22456 | Hath any man or god constrained Aeneas to court war or make armed attack on King Latinus? |
22456 | Hath he broken into tears, or had pity on his lover? |
22456 | Have you no pity, no shame, cowards, for your unhappy country, for your ancient gods, for great Aeneas?'' |
22456 | He stopped and cried weeping,''What land is left, Achates, what tract on earth that is not full of our agony? |
22456 | He yonder, seest thou? |
22456 | Here are our brother Eryx''borders, and Acestes''welcome: who denies us to cast up walls and give our citizens a city? |
22456 | How leavest thou me to die, O my guest? |
22456 | How shall I begin my desolate moan? |
22456 | How shall I trust Aeneas to deceitful breezes, and the placid treachery of sky that hath so often deceived me?'' |
22456 | I forbade Italy to join battle with the Teucrians; why this quarrel in face of my injunction? |
22456 | If such glories kindle him in nowise, and he take no trouble for his own honour, does a father grudge his Ascanius the towers of Rome? |
22456 | If thy Phoenician eyes are stayed on Carthage towers and thy Libyan city, what wrong is it, I pray, that we Trojans find our rest on Ausonian land? |
22456 | Is Death all so bitter? |
22456 | Is anger so fierce in celestial spirits? |
22456 | Is it granted, O my son, to gaze on thy face and hear and answer in familiar tones? |
22456 | Is it not thus the Phrygian herdsman wound his way to Lacedaemon, and carried Leda''s Helen to the Trojan towns? |
22456 | Is it peace or arms you carry hither?'' |
22456 | Is it thus thou dost restore our throne?'' |
22456 | Is it we who would overthrow the tottering state of Phrygia? |
22456 | Is this all of what thou wert that returns to me, O my son? |
22456 | Is this his repayment for my maidenhood? |
22456 | Is this the reward of goodness? |
22456 | Knowest thou not the strength is another''s and the gods are changed? |
22456 | Let us exchange shields, and accoutre ourselves in Grecian suits; whether craft or courage, who will ask of an enemy? |
22456 | Lo, the deep shuts us in with vast sea barrier; even now land fails our flight; shall we make ocean or Troy our goal?'' |
22456 | Long they ran on in mutual change of talk; of what lifeless comrade spoke the soothsayer, of what body for burial? |
22456 | Markest thou what sentry is seated in[ 575- 609]the doorway? |
22456 | May hulls have the right of immortality that were fashioned by mortal hand? |
22456 | Moved with marvel at the confused throng:''Say, O maiden,''cries Aeneas,''what means this flocking to the river? |
22456 | Must I wait forsooth till Turnus please to stoop to combat, and choose again to face his conqueror? |
22456 | Nisus cries:''Lend the gods this fervour to the soul, Euryalus? |
22456 | Now so many woes are spent, and the same fortune still pursues them; Lord and King, what limit dost thou set to their agony? |
22456 | O citizens? |
22456 | Or will you even find rest here with me and share my kingdom? |
22456 | Our love holds thee not, nor the hand thou once gavest, nor the bitter death that is left for Dido''s portion? |
22456 | Palinurus, master of the fleet, cries from the high stern:''Alas, why have these heavy storm- clouds girt the sky? |
22456 | Paphos is thine and Idalium, thine high Cythera; why meddlest thou with fierce spirits and a city big with war? |
22456 | Plead you for peace to the lifeless bodies that the battle- lot hath slain? |
22456 | See, is this his promise- keeping?'' |
22456 | Seest thou how the twin plumes straighten on his crest, and his father''s own emblazonment already marks him for upper air? |
22456 | Shall I again make trial of mine old wooers that will scorn me? |
22456 | Shall I have faith in this perilous thing? |
22456 | Shall I look again on the camp or walls of Laurentum? |
22456 | Shall I make mention of the realm of Neoptolemus, and Idomeneus''household gods overthrown? |
22456 | Shall my hand not refute Drances''jeers? |
22456 | Shall she see her spousal and her home, her parents and children, attended by a crowd of Trojan women and Phrygians to serve her? |
22456 | Shall she verily see Sparta and her native Mycenae unscathed, and depart a queen and triumphant? |
22456 | Shall thy righteousness first wake my wonder, or thy toils in war? |
22456 | Shalt thou die, and by Diana''s weapons?'' |
22456 | Shalt thou without burial behold the Stygian waters and the awful river of the Furies? |
22456 | She swoons away, and hardly at last speaks after long interval:"Comest thou then a real face, a real messenger to me, goddess- born? |
22456 | Straightway[ 265- 299]he breaks in:''Layest thou now the foundations of tall Carthage, and buildest up a fair city in dalliance? |
22456 | The destruction of their households, this was the one thing yet lacking; shall I suffer it? |
22456 | Then Queen Juno, swift and passionate:''Why forcest thou me to break long silence and proclaim my hidden pain? |
22456 | Then her lord speaks, enchained by Love the immortal:''Why these far- fetched pleas? |
22456 | Then indeed Turnus, when he believed Aeneas turned and fled from him, and his spirit madly drank in the illusive hope:''Whither fliest thou, Aeneas? |
22456 | Then shall I follow the Ilian fleets and the uttermost bidding of the Teucrians? |
22456 | Then she thus addressed me, and with this speech allayed my distresses:"What help is there in this mad passion of grief, sweet my husband? |
22456 | Then she thus[ 228- 261]accosts her amazed lord:''Wakest thou, seed of gods, Aeneas? |
22456 | Thereto the Tyrrhenian, as he came to himself and gazing up drank the air of heaven:''Bitter foe, why these taunts and menaces of death? |
22456 | This only was left in his strait, to kindle them to valour, now by entreaties, now by taunts:''Whither flee you, comrades? |
22456 | This thou didst promise: why, O father, is thy decree reversed? |
22456 | Thoughtest thou my feet, O father, could retire and abandon thee? |
22456 | Thus Phoebus; and mingled outcries of great gladness uprose; all ask, what is that city? |
22456 | Thus at last she opens out upon Aeneas:''And thou didst hope, traitor, to mask the crime, and slip away in silence from my land? |
22456 | Thus he ended, and the soothsayer thus began:''Whence, O Palinurus, this fierce longing of thine? |
22456 | To this Turnus, with eyes fixed on the terrible maiden:''O maiden flower of Italy, how may I essay to express, how to prove my gratitude? |
22456 | To what god is power so great given? |
22456 | To what is little Iülus and thy father, to what am I left who once was called thy wife?" |
22456 | To whom Juno beseechingly:''Why, fair my lord, vexest thou one sick at heart and trembling at thy bitter words? |
22456 | To whom Palinurus, scarcely lifting his eyes, returns:''Wouldst thou have me ignorant what the calm face of the brine means, and the waves at rest? |
22456 | Troy blazed in fire? |
22456 | Was it in my guidance the[ 92- 125]adulterous Dardanian broke into Sparta? |
22456 | Was it this thy pyre, ah me, this thine altar fires meant? |
22456 | Was it well that a deity should be sullied by a mortal''s wound? |
22456 | Was it well, O God, that nations destined to everlasting peace should clash in so vast a shock? |
22456 | Was my summons a snare? |
22456 | Were it not better to have[ 59- 91]clung to the last ashes of their country, and the ground where once was Troy? |
22456 | What art of mine can lengthen out thy day? |
22456 | What do I talk? |
22456 | What do I? |
22456 | What god, O Muses, guarded the Trojans from the rage of the fire? |
22456 | What god, what madness, hath driven you to Italy? |
22456 | What god, what potent cruelty of ours, hath driven him on his hurt? |
22456 | What guest unknown is this who hath entered our dwelling? |
22456 | What happy ages bore thee? |
22456 | What hath availed me Syrtes or Scylla, what desolate Charybdis? |
22456 | What indignity hath marred thy serene visage? |
22456 | What is this strife that so spreads and swells? |
22456 | What is your kin, whence your habitation? |
22456 | What man or god did I spare in frantic reproaches? |
22456 | What of that array of men who followed me to arms? |
22456 | What race of men, what land how barbarous soever, allows such a custom for its own? |
22456 | What shall he do? |
22456 | What terror hath bidden one or another run after arms and tempt the sword? |
22456 | What then were thy thoughts, O Dido, as thou sawest it? |
22456 | Whence is this sudden sheen of weather? |
22456 | Where is Juno in this, or Iris sped down the clouds? |
22456 | Where is thy plighted faith? |
22456 | Where now prithee is divine Eryx, thy master of fruitless fame? |
22456 | Where thine ancient care for thy people, and the hand Turnus thy kinsman hath so often clasped? |
22456 | Where, where shall I begin? |
22456 | Whither am I borne? |
22456 | Whither does he run? |
22456 | Whither shall I follow? |
22456 | Whither whirl you me all breathless, O Fabii? |
22456 | Whither, O goddess, is thy trust in me gone? |
22456 | Who can be ignorant of the race of Aeneas''people, who of Troy town and her men and deeds, or of the great war''s consuming fire? |
22456 | Who may unfold in speech that night''s horror and death- agony, or measure its woes in weeping? |
22456 | Who might leave thee, lordly Cato, or thee, Cossus, to silence? |
22456 | Whom first, whom last, fierce maiden, does thy dart strike down? |
22456 | Whom follow[ 88- 121]we? |
22456 | Why again and again hurlest thou these unhappy citizens on peril so evident, O source and spring of Latium''s woes? |
22456 | Why do I linger? |
22456 | Why does a shudder seize our limbs before the trumpet sound? |
22456 | Why fall I away again and again? |
22456 | Why hesitate? |
22456 | Why is it forbidden to clasp hand in hand, to hear and utter true speech?'' |
22456 | Why linger? |
22456 | Why mockest thou thy son so often in feigned likeness? |
22456 | Why ravest thou? |
22456 | Why should I recall the fleets burned on the coast of Eryx? |
22456 | Why should I relate the horrible murders, the savage deeds of the monarch? |
22456 | Why speak of the war gathering from Tyre, and thy brother''s menaces? |
22456 | Why tell of the Lapithae, of Ixion and Pirithoüs? |
22456 | Why wear we steel? |
22456 | Why, were thy quest not of alien fields and unknown dwellings, did thine ancient Troy remain, should Troy be sought in voyages over tossing seas? |
22456 | Will they not issue in armed pursuit from all the city, and some launch ships from the dockyards? |
22456 | Will thy bravery ever be in that windy tongue and those timorous feet of thine? |
22456 | Wilt thou never then let our leaguer be raised? |
22456 | Wilt thou see also the Tarquin kings, and the haughty soul of Brutus the Avenger, and the fasces regained? |
22456 | With what device or in what hope hangest thou chill in cloudland? |
22456 | Yet hath the child affection for his lost mother? |
22456 | [ 369- 400]Hath our weeping cost him a sigh, or a lowered glance? |
22456 | [ 93- 126]Thus her son in answer, who wheels the starry worlds:''O mother, whither callest thou fate? |
22456 | after such an husband, what fate receives thy fall? |
22456 | ah hapless race, for what destruction does Fortune hold thee back? |
22456 | and Fabricius potent in poverty, or[ 844- 875]thee, Serranus, sowing in the furrow? |
22456 | and Priam have fallen under the sword? |
22456 | and because fate forbids me? |
22456 | and fell so unnatural words from a parent''s lips? |
22456 | and hast thou no compassion on[ 361- 392]thy daughter and on thyself? |
22456 | and may Aeneas traverse perils secure in insecurity? |
22456 | and slain with the sword his comrades and his dear Ascanius, and served him for the banquet at his father''s table? |
22456 | and stoop to sue for a Numidian marriage among those whom already over and over I have disdained for husbands? |
22456 | are we unequal in numbers or bravery? |
22456 | art thou ignorant, ah me, even in ruin, and knowest not yet the forsworn race of Laomedon? |
22456 | because it is good to think they were once raised up by my[ 539- 570]succour, or the grace of mine old kindness is fresh in their remembrance? |
22456 | by what passage hurl the imprisoned Trojans from the rampart and fling them on the plain? |
22456 | can I contend with this ominous thing? |
22456 | cries Aeneas;''whither so fast away? |
22456 | declare, O maiden; or what the punishment that pursues them, and all this upsurging wail?'' |
22456 | for what are these idle weapons in our hands? |
22456 | for what do I, or what fortune yet gives promise of safety? |
22456 | from beneath the mound is heard a pitiable moan, and a voice is uttered to my ears:"Woe''s me, why rendest thou me, Aeneas? |
22456 | from what borders comest thou, Hector our desire? |
22456 | he cried,"what land now, what seas may receive me? |
22456 | how his Trojans? |
22456 | how long is it seemly to keep me? |
22456 | how may vows or shrines help her madness? |
22456 | how venture to smooth the tale to the frenzied queen? |
22456 | how, that they choose their brides and tear plighted bosom from bosom? |
22456 | if I am ready to take them into alliance after Turnus''destruction, why do I not rather bar the strife while he lives? |
22456 | is he roused to the valour of old and the spirit of manhood by his father Aeneas, by his uncle Hector?" |
22456 | is it this I have followed by land and sea? |
22456 | is it thus we know Ulysses? |
22456 | is this my strong assurance? |
22456 | lingerest thou? |
22456 | livest thou? |
22456 | lord Neptune, what wilt thou?'' |
22456 | no compassion on her mother, whom with the first northern wind the treacherous rover will abandon, steering to sea with his maiden prize? |
22456 | nor does it cross thy mind whose are these fields about thy dwelling? |
22456 | nor hearest the breezes blowing fair? |
22456 | nor when sent into such danger was one last word of thee allowed thine unhappy mother? |
22456 | of what are the souls so fain? |
22456 | on what ground have I left thee? |
22456 | or did I send the shafts of passion that kindled war? |
22456 | or do we shudder vainly when our father hurls the thunderbolt, and do blind fires in the clouds and idle rumblings appal our soul? |
22456 | or does fatal passion become a proper god to each? |
22456 | or he who brought the Achaeans down on the hapless Trojans? |
22456 | or how may earth ever yawn for me deep enough? |
22456 | or if sweet light is fled, ah, where is Hector?" |
22456 | or in what guidance may I overcome these sore labours?" |
22456 | or of the Locrians who dwell on the Libyan beach? |
22456 | or plunge forth girt with all my Tyrian train? |
22456 | or shall he rush on his doom amid their swords, and find in their wounds a speedy and glorious death? |
22456 | or take the odious woman on their haughty ships? |
22456 | or that the lost sword-- for what without thee could Juturna avail?--should be restored to Turnus and swell the force of the vanquished? |
22456 | or think you any Grecian gift is free of treachery? |
22456 | or what crueller sight met me in our city''s overthrow? |
22456 | or what difference makes these retire from the banks, those go with sweeping oars over the leaden waterways?'' |
22456 | or what dost thou seek for these of thine? |
22456 | or what fortune keeps thee from rest, that thou shouldst draw nigh these sad sunless dwellings, this disordered land?'' |
22456 | or what is the last doom that yet awaits my misery? |
22456 | or what is this cry that fleets so loud from the distant town?'' |
22456 | or what land now holds thy mangled corpse, thy body torn limb from limb? |
22456 | or what more is there if I break not under this? |
22456 | or what their aim? |
22456 | or what worthier fortune revisits thee? |
22456 | or where am I? |
22456 | or where shall I follow, again unwinding all the entanglement of the treacherous woodland way?'' |
22456 | or whither do you steer? |
22456 | or whither dost thou bid us go, where fix our seat? |
22456 | or whither dost thou run? |
22456 | or whither hold you your way?'' |
22456 | or whither is thy care for us fled? |
22456 | or who withholds thee from our embrace?'' |
22456 | or whom might Cassandra then move by prophecy? |
22456 | or whose divinity landed thee all unwitting on our coasts? |
22456 | or why all this contest now? |
22456 | or why discern I these wounds?" |
22456 | or why, Turnus, dost thou yet shrink away? |
22456 | others plunder and harry the burning citadel; are you but now on your march from the tall ships?" |
22456 | shall I accompany the triumphant sailors, a lonely fugitive? |
22456 | shall I nowhere see a Xanthus and a Simoïs, the rivers of Hector? |
22456 | shall I send thee alone into so great perils? |
22456 | shall I turn my back, and this land see Turnus a fugitive? |
22456 | shall an alien make mock of our realm? |
22456 | shall there never be a Trojan town to tell of? |
22456 | shall we set one life in the breach for so many such as these? |
22456 | she cries,''shall he go? |
22456 | sister of Phoebus perchance, or one of the nymphs''blood? |
22456 | so hardly severed from Sidon city, shall I again drive them seaward, and bid them spread their sails to the tempest? |
22456 | son, or other of his children''s princely race? |
22456 | that Trojans subjugate and plunder fields not their own? |
22456 | that their gestures plead for peace, and their ships are lined with arms? |
22456 | the shore of Dardania so often soaked with blood? |
22456 | thou wilt see thy son cruelly slain; is this our triumphal return awaited? |
22456 | till Pygmalion overthrow his sister''s city, or Gaetulian Iarbas lead me to captivity? |
22456 | to give the issue of war and the charge of his ramparts to a child? |
22456 | to stir the loyalty of Tyrrhenia or throw peaceful nations into tumult? |
22456 | was it that thou mightest see thy hapless brother cruelly slain? |
22456 | we? |
22456 | what agony shakes the city? |
22456 | what flight is this, or in what guise do I return? |
22456 | what good is his gift of life for ever? |
22456 | what height of madness hath seized thy mind? |
22456 | what mad change is on my purpose? |
22456 | what madness bends my purpose? |
22456 | what mighty parents gave thy virtue birth? |
22456 | what of the boy Ascanius? |
22456 | what other walls, what farther city have you yet? |
22456 | what prologue shall he find? |
22456 | what propitiation, or what engine of war is this?" |
22456 | what remains at the last? |
22456 | what shape guards the threshold? |
22456 | what stronghold are we to occupy?" |
22456 | what the cause or whereof the need that hath borne you over all these blue waterways to the Ausonian shore? |
22456 | what violence lands thee on this monstrous coast? |
22456 | whence came I? |
22456 | where thy renown over all Sicily, and those spoils hanging in thine house?'' |
22456 | whether, torn by fate from her unhappy husband, she stood still, or did she mistake the way, or sink down outwearied? |
22456 | whither calls Phoebus our wandering, and bids us return? |
22456 | who is claimed of Apollo? |
22456 | who is their counsellor? |
22456 | who made Europe and Asia bristle up in arms, and whose theft shattered the alliance? |
22456 | who repelled the fierce flame from their ships? |
22456 | who the Gracchan family, or these two sons of the Scipios, a double thunderbolt of war, Libya''s bale? |
22456 | who was allowed to use thee thus? |
22456 | whom did I fear[ 604- 635]with my death upon me? |
22456 | why have I forfeited a mortal''s lot? |
22456 | why on the march, or how are you in arms? |
22456 | why stand you?'' |
22456 | why the king of storms, and the raging winds roused from Aeolia, or Iris driven down the clouds? |
22456 | why this their strange sad longing for the light?'' |
22456 | will aught of mine be sweet to me without thee, my brother? |
22456 | with what device or in what hope loiters he among a hostile race, and casts not a glance on his Ausonian children and the fields of Lavinium? |
22456 | with what force, what arms dare his rescue? |
18466 | ''And point to far Italia,--One alone, Celaeno, sings of famine foul and dread, A nameless prodigy, a plague unknown,-- What perils first to shun? 18466 ''E''en on his threshold, when the adulterer lay In wait for Asia''s conqueror? |
18466 | ''Real, then, real is thy face, and true Thy tidings? 18466 ''Still grieves he for his mother? |
18466 | ''What boots this idle passion? 18466 ''What,_ I_ to leave thee helpless, and to flee? |
18466 | ''Wilt thou not see, if yet thy sire survive, Worn out with age, amid the war''s alarms? 18466 Ah, whither,"cried AEneas,"wilt thou fly? |
18466 | And harass peaceful nations? 18466 And rob their maidens of the love they vow, And lift, and burn and ravage as they list, Then plead for peace, with arms upon the prow? |
18466 | Art thou, then, come at last? 18466 Ay, who had won, had Chance not interfered, And baffled me, like Salius? |
18466 | But see, who, crowned with olive wreath, doth bring The sacred vessels? 18466 Cowards, why faint ye, Tuscans but in name? |
18466 | Dear son, was life so tempting to the sire, To let thee face the foemen in my room, Whom I begot? 18466 Entellus, once our bravest, but in vain, Can''st_ thou_ sit tamely, with the field unfought, And see this braggart glory in his gain? |
18466 | Fool,he cries,"Why rush to death, and dare a deed too great? |
18466 | Gallants,he hails them from a mound afar,"What drove you hither by strange ways to steer? |
18466 | Great Sire, was I so guilty in thy sight, To make thee deem such punishment my due? 18466 Heaven''s great inhabitants, what change hath brewed Rebellious thoughts, my purpose thus to mar? |
18466 | I beaten? 18466 If thee, Tyre- born, a Libyan town detain, What grudge to Troy Ausonia''s land denies? |
18466 | Me, me would Nisus from such deeds debar? 18466 O Iris, Heaven''s fair glory, who hath sent Thee hither? |
18466 | O Turnus, cause of all our ills to- day, Why make the land these miseries endure? 18466 O maid,"he asks,"what crimes are theirs? |
18466 | Oh, who hath tears to match our grief withal? 18466 Shalt thou, great Cato, unextolled remain? |
18466 | Shalt_ thou_ go hence, and with the loved one''s spoils? 18466 Shame, will ye risk, Rutulians, for his host The life of one? |
18466 | Son of a goddess, if none risks the fray, How long shall Dares guerdonless remain? 18466 Straight rose a joyous uproar; each in turn Ask what the walls that Phoebus hath designed? |
18466 | Think''st thou the Stygian waters to explore Unburied, and the Furies''flood to see, And reach unbidden yon relentless shore? 18466 Thou-- is it thou, Euryalus, my own? |
18466 | To die-- and unavenged? 18466 Was I the robber, who the war begun, Whose theft in arms two continents arrayed, When Europe clashed with Asia? |
18466 | What am I doing? 18466 What can I do? |
18466 | What dreams, dear Anna, fill me with alarms; What stranger guest is this? 18466 What first? |
18466 | What gifts can match such valour? 18466 What madness this, poor women?" |
18466 | What mischief, Latins, hath your minds misled, To shun our friendship in the hour of need, And rush to arms? 18466 What pride of birth possessed you, Earth and air Without my leave to mingle in affray, And raise such hubbub in my realm? |
18466 | What, fly alone, and join their shouting crew? 18466 What, shall I see our houses wrapt in flame,-- Last wrong of all-- and coward- like, stand by, Nor make this arm put Drances''taunts to shame? |
18466 | What, then,she sadly ponders,"shall I do? |
18466 | What, thou-- wilt thou build Carthage? |
18466 | Where shall I follow thee? 18466 Whither from thy course so wide? |
18466 | Who knows not Troy, th''AEneian house of fame, The deeds and doers, and the war''s renown That fired the world? 18466 Whom then did I upbraid not, wild with woe, Of gods or men? |
18466 | Why fail we on the threshold, faint with fears, And sick knees tremble ere the trumpets bray? 18466 Why now those ancient Lapithae recall, Ixion and Pirithous? |
18466 | Why stay''st thou, Turnus? 18466 Would''st thou behold the Tarquins? |
18466 | Wretch,cries Mezentius,"having robbed my son, Why scare me now? |
18466 | _ Me_ dost thou fly? 18466 _ This_ for my robbed virginity? |
18466 | ''Panthus,''I cry,''how fares the fight? |
18466 | Again Laurentum''s city shall I view? |
18466 | Ah, why Did immortality the Sire bestow, And grudge a mortal''s privilege-- to die? |
18466 | Ah, why So cruel? |
18466 | Am I to send thee singly to thy fate? |
18466 | And bring ye peace or war?" |
18466 | And doubt we then to celebrate so far Our prowess, and shall fear Ausonian fields debar? |
18466 | And if thy wife Creusa be alive, And young Ascanius? |
18466 | And is it then so terrible to die? |
18466 | And shall AEneas sail the uncertain main, Himself of safety certain, and his band? |
18466 | And unoffending Harpies would ye chase Forth from their old, hereditary reign? |
18466 | And whither art thou hurrying? |
18466 | Art thou, then, that AEneas, whom of yore Venus on Simois''banks to old Anchises bore? |
18466 | Awe- struck, AEneas would the cause enquire: What streams are yonder? |
18466 | But Dido-- who can cheat a lover''s care? |
18466 | But I, who walk the Queen of Heaven confessed, Jove''s sister- spouse, shall I forevermore With one poor tribe keep warring without rest? |
18466 | But enough, ye say, Once to have fallen? |
18466 | But thou, make answer, and in turn explain What brought thee, living, to these realms of shade? |
18466 | But what power on high Hath willed thee, sent from the Olympian reign, Such toils to suffer, and such tasks to try? |
18466 | But who are ye, pray answer? |
18466 | But why the tale prolong? |
18466 | But ye, my chosen, who with me will scale Yon wall, and storm their trembling camp? |
18466 | By force of arms how dare His friend to rescue? |
18466 | By heaven''s command, or wandering o''er the main, Com''st thou to view these shores, this sunless, sad domain?" |
18466 | By the tempest tost, or blown At random, needful of what help and how Came ye to Latin shores the dark- blue deep to plough? |
18466 | C."Is yours no pity, sluggard souls? |
18466 | Cam''st thou, forsooth, to see thy wretched brother die? |
18466 | Can I dare To face this fiend? |
18466 | Can neither love, nor this my plighted hand, Nor dying Dido keep thee? |
18466 | Cossus? |
18466 | Could Pallas burn the Grecian fleet, and drown Their crews, for one man''s crime, Oileus''frenzied son? |
18466 | Could e''er A parent speak of such a crime to me? |
18466 | Could''st thou leave me here alone, Nor let thy mother bid a last good- bye? |
18466 | Did I with lust the fatal strife sustain, And fan the feud, and lend the Dardans aid? |
18466 | Did ever God such privilege attain? |
18466 | Did ever crime of theirs the Dardans''meed require? |
18466 | Do I care? |
18466 | Dost thou thy faith remove, And cease to trust in Vulcan? |
18466 | Dotard, why delay? |
18466 | Doth the name Of sire or uncle make his young heart glow For deeds of valour and ancestral fame?'' |
18466 | Dream they here To find such Danaan striplings, weak as they Whom Hector baffled till the tenth long year? |
18466 | Dreams he in his pride To end the war, and drive us from the land? |
18466 | Feel''st not that more than mortal is his aid? |
18466 | For me this fraud? |
18466 | For this did I prepare That pyre, those flames and altars? |
18466 | Forth springs AEneas, glorying in his prize, And plucks the glittering falchion from his thigh,"Where now is fierce Mezentius? |
18466 | From the stern loud cries The pilot Palinurus:"Whence and why This cloudy rack that gathers o''er the skies? |
18466 | Grant that I wished it, of these lordings who Would take me, humbled and a thing of scorn? |
18466 | Grant that it had been, whom should Dido dread, What fear had death for me, self- destined to be dead? |
18466 | Has filial love, Thrice welcome, braved the perils of the way? |
18466 | Hath he taught Thine arm its vaunted cleverness for naught? |
18466 | Have foes and fire found passage for the slain? |
18466 | Have the sword And flames of Troy avenged me but in vain? |
18466 | He, an alien, flout my sway? |
18466 | Hector''s Andromache, art thou the mate Of Pyrrhus?'' |
18466 | Hermes cried,"And stay to beautify thy lady''s town, And dote on Tyrian realms, and disregard thine own? |
18466 | His son? |
18466 | How tost with perils do I greet thee? |
18466 | I leave thee, cheated of my care, to fall, The daughter''s lover, and the father''s friend? |
18466 | I the one, Who led the Dardan leman on his raid, To storm the chamber of the Spartan maid? |
18466 | If dead, then where is Hector?'' |
18466 | If, maugre Turnus slain, I deign to welcome as a friend his foe, Why not, while Turnus lives, the needless strife forego? |
18466 | Immortal I? |
18466 | In number, strength and show Do we not match them? |
18466 | Is Dido blind, if Trojans are untrue? |
18466 | Is theirs no rest from leaguer-- not a day? |
18466 | Is this the triumph? |
18466 | Is this then all of what was once my child? |
18466 | Is thy sacred faith forsworn? |
18466 | Jove, shall he escape me? |
18466 | Know''st thou not yet, O lost one and forlorn, Troy''s perjured race still shows Laomedon forsworn? |
18466 | Let the bark break, with such a haven here What harm, if once upon the shore we stand?" |
18466 | Liv''st thou, child of heavenly seed? |
18466 | Loudly he shrills in anger to his train,"Who first with me will at the foemen-- who? |
18466 | Moved he those eyes? |
18466 | Must Cynthia waste her shafts on worthless knaves like thee?" |
18466 | Must I wait all day? |
18466 | Must captives be twice captured? |
18466 | Must thou fly, When North- winds howl, and wintry waves are high? |
18466 | Must we, poor souls, that Turnus may obtain A royal bride, like carrion strew the plain, Unwept, unburied? |
18466 | Near lay the rock, the goal was close in sight, When Gyas, first o''er half a length of tide Shouts to his helmsman:"Whither to the right? |
18466 | Nor care sweet sons, fair Venus''gifts to know? |
18466 | O say, What manner of mankind is here? |
18466 | O tell How can in heavenly minds such fierce resentment dwell? |
18466 | O when, great Monarch, shall their toil be o''er? |
18466 | O, what madness turns my brain? |
18466 | O, whither wilt thou go? |
18466 | Of Locrians, cast upon the Libyan plain? |
18466 | Of what avail are temples, vows, and prayers, To quell a raging passion? |
18466 | Once more Anchises bids us cross the main And seek Ortygia, and the god constrain By prayer to pardon and advise, what end Of evils to expect? |
18466 | Or give-- for thine was all Juturna''s might-- Lost Turnus back his sword, and renovate the fight? |
18466 | Or launch, and chase them with my Tyrian train Scarce torn from Tyre? |
18466 | Or make we gods of but a wild desire? |
18466 | Or poor Idomeneus, expelled his state? |
18466 | Or thee, Serranus, scattering the seed? |
18466 | Ours shalt thou be; but mark, and tell me now, What means this monster, for what use designed? |
18466 | Peace ask ye for the dead, The War- God''s prey, whom folly doomed to bleed? |
18466 | Pensive he stood, and with a rising tear,"What lands, Achates, on the earth, but know Our labours? |
18466 | Poor Dido, hath thy folly found its prey? |
18466 | Reared I this pyre, did I the gods invoke To leave thee thus companionless, to die? |
18466 | Saw they not Troy, which Neptune reared of old, Sink down in ruin, as the flames uprolled? |
18466 | Say whither wending? |
18466 | Say, what bitter grief doth move Thy soul to rage untamed? |
18466 | Seaward or Troyward-- whither shall we flee?" |
18466 | See''st thou what sentinel Sits in the porch? |
18466 | Shall Turnus run, and Latins see him fly? |
18466 | Shall he face them there, And rush upon the foemen''s swords, to die, And welcome wounds that win a death so fair? |
18466 | Shall he mock My queenship? |
18466 | Shall the Trojans claim The realm, and bastards dare the Latin race to shame? |
18466 | Shall this be, And Troy have blazed and Priam''s self been slain, And Trojan blood so oft have soaked the Dardan plain? |
18466 | Shall vessels, fashioned by a mortal hand, The gift of immortality command? |
18466 | Shalt thou, my son, expire, And I live on, my darling in the tomb, Saved by thy wounds, and living by thy doom? |
18466 | Shrill and loud"Stand, who are ye in armour dight, and why? |
18466 | So madly long they for the light?" |
18466 | So swar''st thou; Father, say, why changed is thy decree? |
18466 | Some sign Vouchsafe us, whom to follow? |
18466 | Some warlike engine? |
18466 | Still dwells thy War- God in a windy tongue, And flying feet, and knees all feeble and unstrung? |
18466 | Such floods of passion can thy breast contain? |
18466 | Take we the Danaans''bucklers; with a foe Who asks, if craft or courage guide the blow? |
18466 | Tell me, why With ghastly wounds do I behold thee scarred?'' |
18466 | Then Jove, as from a saffron cloud above Looked Juno, pleased the doubtful strife to view,"When shall this end, sweet partner of my love? |
18466 | Then Juno meekly:"Dearest, why delight With cruel words to vex me, sad with fear And sick at heart? |
18466 | Then Mnestheus cries:"Friends, whither would ye flee? |
18466 | Then Nisus:"Is it that the Gods inspire, Euryalus, this fever of the breast? |
18466 | Then She with tears:"What if thy heart should give The pledge and promise, that thy lips disdain, And Turnus by thy warrant still should live? |
18466 | Then Turnus, glorying in his fancied prize,"Where now, AEneas, from thy plighted bride? |
18466 | Then Vulcan, mastered by immortal love, Answers his spouse,"Why, Goddess mine, invent Such far- fetched pleas? |
18466 | Then brave Caicus from a bastion cried,"What dark mass, rolling towards us, have we here? |
18466 | Then first with eager joy"O Goddess- born,"the bold Achates cries,"How now-- what purpose doth thy mind devise? |
18466 | Then he in scorn:"Yea, Tiber''s waves beset With foreign ships-- I know it; wherefore feign For me such terrors? |
18466 | Then spake AEneas, for with strange dismay He viewed the tumult,"Prithee, maiden, say What means this thronging to the river- side? |
18466 | Then spake her son, who wields the starry sphere,"Mother, what would''st thou of the Fates demand? |
18466 | Then, roused with rage, spake Juno:"Wherefore make My lips break silence and lay bare my woe? |
18466 | Then,"Watchest thou, AEneas, child divine? |
18466 | Think''st thou such grief concerns the shades below? |
18466 | This the end? |
18466 | This the return? |
18466 | Thou, the late solace of my age? |
18466 | Thus, thus dost thou thy plighted word regard, Our sceptred realms restore, our piety reward?" |
18466 | Thy corpse defiled, Thy mangled limbs-- where are they? |
18466 | Thy sceptre to a Dardan guest transferred? |
18466 | To us what booteth thy Trinacrian name, Thy spoil- hung house, thy roof with prizes fraught?" |
18466 | Unarmed, AEneas, with uncovered brow, Stretched out his hands, and shouted to his train:"Where rush ye, men? |
18466 | V. Then Anna:"Sister, dearer than the day, Why thus in loneliness and endless woe Wilt thou for ever wear thy youth away? |
18466 | War do ye bring, our cattle stol''n and slain? |
18466 | Was it for this I roamed the land and sea? |
18466 | Was it right A god with mortal weapons to pursue? |
18466 | What God or man AEneas forced to take The sword, and make the Latin King his foe? |
18466 | What God, what madness blinded you, that e''er Ye thought to venture to Italia''s land? |
18466 | What Myrmidon, or who Of stern Ulysses''warriors can withhold His tears, to tell such things, as thou would''st have re- told? |
18466 | What art thou seeking for these Teucrians here? |
18466 | What care Or craft thy days can lengthen? |
18466 | What clue Shall trace the mazes of this silvan snare, The tangled path unravelling?" |
18466 | What end of standing? |
18466 | What fate hereafter shall our steps attend? |
18466 | What fear hath stirred them to provoke the war? |
18466 | What flight Is this? |
18466 | What godlike parents bore a child so bright? |
18466 | What happy ages did thy birth delight? |
18466 | What hinders for the homeless here to gain A home-- an Ilion for the one we lost? |
18466 | What is AEneas''ignorance to me? |
18466 | What joy hath aught beside, Thou, Turnus, dead? |
18466 | What land Is this, to treat us in this barbarous way? |
18466 | What make ye there?" |
18466 | What more? |
18466 | What most-- thy deeds or justice-- shall I prize? |
18466 | What name, O maiden, shall I give to thee, For mortal never had thy voice or mien? |
18466 | What noise of grief,"he cries,"comes rolling from the town?" |
18466 | What of that band, who followed me, whom I-- Shame on me-- left a shameful death to rue? |
18466 | What other choice was left, what other chance to try? |
18466 | What other walls, what further town have we? |
18466 | What pain Do they endure? |
18466 | What pledge of safety more Doth Fortune give? |
18466 | What praise can match thee? |
18466 | What presence guards the gate? |
18466 | What rest for toil- worn men, and whitherward to wend? |
18466 | What sadder sight elsewhere Had Troy, now whelmed in utter wreck, to show? |
18466 | What scheme is thine? |
18466 | What schemes he now? |
18466 | What seek the souls? |
18466 | What shall he do? |
18466 | What should he do? |
18466 | What use of weapons, if ye fear to fight? |
18466 | What wilt thou, chill in cloudland? |
18466 | What worthy fate Hath caught thee, fallen from a spouse so high? |
18466 | What, father Neptune, now, what mischief dost devise?" |
18466 | What, fell they not on the Sigean plain? |
18466 | What, hapless Dido, were thy feelings then? |
18466 | What; swerving still?" |
18466 | When shall this end? |
18466 | Whence came I? |
18466 | Whence comest thou again, Long- looked- for Hector? |
18466 | Whence this impious jar? |
18466 | Where am I? |
18466 | Where can Earth for me Gape deep enough? |
18466 | Where hurriest thou again?" |
18466 | Where is his match? |
18466 | Where is thy god, that Eryx? |
18466 | Where is thy old affection? |
18466 | Where that hand So oft to Turnus pledged, thy kinsman of the land? |
18466 | Where then was Juno? |
18466 | Where vanished is thy love? |
18466 | Where, Euryalus, shall I follow thee? |
18466 | Wherefore cheat Thy son so oft with images and lies? |
18466 | Wherefore this delay? |
18466 | Which way to wander, whither to return? |
18466 | Whither am I borne? |
18466 | Who dreamed that Teucrians should Hesperia gain? |
18466 | Who parts the shades, what doom the difference can decide?" |
18466 | Who planned the steed, and why? |
18466 | Who tears thee hence? |
18466 | Who then henceforth shall Juno''s power adore? |
18466 | Who then her fanes frequent, her deity implore?" |
18466 | Who was there The God, and whose the tyranny to blame For fraud like that? |
18466 | Who would fail to tell of thee, Fabricius, potent in thy poverty? |
18466 | Who, foul spawn of earth, shall call Me beaten? |
18466 | Whom dost thou fly? |
18466 | Whom first, dread maiden, did thy javelin quell? |
18466 | Whom last? |
18466 | Whom shuns he? |
18466 | Whom to be buried? |
18466 | Whose heart had will, whose cruel hand had might To wreak such punishment? |
18466 | Why Theseus? |
18466 | Why change and change? |
18466 | Why delay? |
18466 | Why fawn and feign? |
18466 | Why keep aloof? |
18466 | Why may I not clasp hands, and talk without disguise?" |
18466 | Why seek for towns with battle in their womb, And beard a savage foeman in his lair? |
18466 | Why separate, do they Turn back, while others sweep the leaden tide? |
18466 | Why shifts my frenzied purpose to and fro? |
18466 | Why should more words of mine the rising South delay?'' |
18466 | Why so fain Sweet husband, thus to sorrow and repine? |
18466 | Why stand ye thus afraid?" |
18466 | Why stay I? |
18466 | Why stay your hand? |
18466 | Why tell of wars from Tyre, A brother''s threats? |
18466 | Why this sword and spear? |
18466 | Why, Teucrians, do I keep you? |
18466 | Will no one arm and chase them, or undock The ships? |
18466 | With her right hand she grasped me from above, And thus with roseate lips:''O son, what mean These transports? |
18466 | Would''st thou in death desert me, and pretend To scorn a sister''s care, and shun me as a friend? |
18466 | Wrought we the wreck, when Ilion sank in gloom, We, or the hands that urged poor Trojans to their doom? |
18466 | Your kin, and where your home? |
18466 | _ Thus_ Ulysses do ye know? |
18466 | and cloak such treason with a lie? |
18466 | and how do I return, and who? |
18466 | and lay your choicest low? |
18466 | and to plant in vain These walls, to shield you from the foemen''s hand? |
18466 | and whence and whither are ye bound?" |
18466 | ay, and he Cooped thus within your ramparts, work such woe, Such deaths-- and unavenged? |
18466 | could''st thou fancy it? |
18466 | cries Volscens from the crowd,"And whither wend ye?" |
18466 | do I behold thee? |
18466 | do ye think the foe Gone, or that guileless are their gifts? |
18466 | dost thou think to flee? |
18466 | dropped he a single tear Sighed he with me, or spake a lover''s heart to cheer? |
18466 | eating boards as well?" |
18466 | he an outcast? |
18466 | he chides her, as she flies,"Art thou, then, also cruel? |
18466 | he exclaims,"What mean ye now? |
18466 | hear thee move Sweet converse as of old? |
18466 | how many in the dust lay low? |
18466 | how shall thanks be paid? |
18466 | like whom in face? |
18466 | ne''er hear the name of Troy? |
18466 | nevermore shall I behold with joy A Xanthus and a Simois again, Our Hector''s streams? |
18466 | no shame For Troy''s old gods, and for your native land, And for the great AEneas, and his name?" |
18466 | nor her mother, left forlorn, When, with the rising North- wind, o''er the sea Yon faithless pirate hath the maiden borne? |
18466 | on what quest Come ye? |
18466 | or religious vow? |
18466 | or scion of his stock renowned? |
18466 | or the Scipios, ye Twin thunderbolts of battle, and the bane Of Libya? |
18466 | or why a feud so dire? |
18466 | said AEneas,"can it be, That souls sublime, so happy and so free, Can yearn for fleshly tenements again? |
18466 | shall Dido, made a jest To former lovers, stoop herself to sue, And beg the Nomad lords their oft- scorned vows renew? |
18466 | shall I wait, and wait, till Turnus deign To take fresh heart, and tempt the war''s rough game, And, conquered, face his conqueror again? |
18466 | shall a woman scatter you in flight? |
18466 | shall tongue make utterance or refrain? |
18466 | she cries,''what mad desire Arms thee for battle? |
18466 | the Gracchi? |
18466 | the cause of death? |
18466 | thine this snare? |
18466 | this the promise sworn? |
18466 | thought''st thou''twas the chase? |
18466 | till Pygmalion waste my state, Or on Iarbas''wheels, a captive queen, to wait? |
18466 | to fly, whom I have doomed to fall; Think''st thou to baffle Turnus of his prize?" |
18466 | was this thy secret? |
18466 | what art To calm her frenzy, now hath vow or shrine? |
