All were attentive to the godlike man, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4iDtnlhipo
When from his lofty couch he thus began: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFueLm1gL6h
"Great queen, what you command me to relate 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuyjrYH0XeG
Renews the sad remembrance of our fate: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXKZyTQog5I
An empire from its old foundations rent, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqDfiMkfbT6
And ev'ry woe the Trojans underwent; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMgxjadraNf
A peopled city made a desart place; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtS9xeECqKC
All that I saw, and part of which I was: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA7REdbpvvAb
Not ev'n the hardest of our foes could hear, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaZjN5ExlA5
Nor stern Ulysses tell without a tear. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATgC35cssrn
And now the latter watch of wasting night, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXbeGRdZswv
And setting stars, to kindly rest invite; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaCHqDPpi0m
But, since you take such int'rest in our woe, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhC26fAZgEs
And Troy's disastrous end desire to know, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjk6ICHTSbz
I will restrain my tears, and briefly tell 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAw760zKMTZy
What in our last and fatal night befell. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhdiLpDsLwJ
"By destiny compell'd, and in despair, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3uINZbggGc
The Greeks grew weary of the tedious war, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANRqCQ7zn3A
And by Minerva's aid a fabric rear'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyXDicfBWLA
Which like a steed of monstrous height appear'd: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnegu9X4UhX
The sides were plank'd with pine; they feign'd it made 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeNLjyBxmTf
For their return, and this the vow they paid. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyLKez2SHWC
Thus they pretend, but in the hollow side 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwA3NWia3kI
Selected numbers of their soldiers hide: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA38kvK1O4kE
With inward arms the dire machine they load, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPuzSsjy78s
And iron bowels stuff the dark abode. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALhPNr9ItsE
In sight of Troy lies Tenedos, an isle 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHflXppLua4
(While Fortune did on Priam's empire smile) 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADUlw5SWqya
Renown'd for wealth; but, since, a faithless bay, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3ywCl4jJiS
Where ships expos'd to wind and weather lay. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEo24NyLc6j
There was their fleet conceal'd. We thought, for Greece 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVfnKVH1udg
Their sails were hoisted, and our fears release. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiJGnEhjcEL
The Trojans, coop'd within their walls so long, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2XvLK3O7An
Unbar their gates, and issue in a throng, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAI11h7m8KfK
Like swarming bees, and with delight survey 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6udaXpu532
The camp deserted, where the Grecians lay: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAoVngl16JV4
The quarters of the sev'ral chiefs they show'd; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApkEomycf8Z
Here Phoenix, here Achilles, made abode; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkKnaGMft7g
Here join'd the battles; there the navy rode. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAii5zstHAM3
Part on the pile their wond'ring eyes employ: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA82skbve6Lz
The pile by Pallas rais'd to ruin Troy. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAy5jCEVDU5F
Thymoetes first ('t is doubtful whether hir'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATXXIvSxQbh
Or so the Trojan destiny requir'd) 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbjMNqN2jdj
Mov'd that the ramparts might be broken down, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwss6NUfbAS
To lodge the monster fabric in the town. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnjCnJLnhvD
But Capys, and the rest of sounder mind, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjz9imcYRX9
The fatal present to the flames designed, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATR6ieqaX0I
Or to the wat'ry deep; at least to bore 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACpWWHSX8r4
The hollow sides, and hidden frauds explore. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAieFaoTPFem
The giddy vulgar, as their fancies guide, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAxTrvDDVD1e
With noise say nothing, and in parts divide. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2fmVFPO8Cz
Laocoon, follow'd by a num'rous crowd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhtv3F8c80w
Ran from the fort, and cried, from far, aloud: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlEQQF9YjDC
'O wretched countrymen! what fury reigns? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAt4n4FQf0Xk
What more than madness has possess'd your brains? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASHmL5BiC5r
Think you the Grecians from your coasts are gone? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6WJGGFOJ55
And are Ulysses' arts no better known? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKt02vG3QKo
This hollow fabric either must inclose, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXIXAzzTayM
Within its blind recess, our secret foes; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUXfVHToAjG
Or 't is an engine rais'd above the town, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZFIT14KBLx
T' o'erlook the walls, and then to batter down. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1hw8fo9hcA
Somewhat is sure design'd, by fraud or force: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6XKdbOdQec
Trust not their presents, nor admit the horse.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOCehdxCV7H
Thus having said, against the steed he threw 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHlU4GLILp8
His forceful spear, which, hissing as flew, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATJr9TK7NYB
Pierc'd thro' the yielding planks of jointed wood, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS6zvPE8cSc
And trembling in the hollow belly stood. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwjXU2KjbPK
The sides, transpierc'd, return a rattling sound, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkH4YcLMf05
And groans of Greeks inclos'd come issuing thro' the wound 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKsYe1XItO8
And, had not Heav'n the fall of Troy design'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlHKHhm60VN
Or had not men been fated to be blind, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJHLYBCw4l8
Enough was said and done t'inspire a better mind. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA57DGrxlx0E
Then had our lances pierc'd the treach'rous wood, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFp0mo3rBNq
And Ilian tow'rs and Priam's empire stood. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgioKWu5bjr
Meantime, with shouts, the Trojan shepherds bring 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuWWGPXrsNG
A captive Greek, in bands, before the king; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAm8yXmbs1cf
Taken to take; who made himself their prey, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlR7TAYuZMM
T' impose on their belief, and Troy betray; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAY4Nem4xCHJ
Fix'd on his aim, and obstinately bent 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaPTkhbXEDB
To die undaunted, or to circumvent. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFcl9zzBetv
About the captive, tides of Trojans flow; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5lqruLOAYs
All press to see, and some insult the foe. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdm25cdVX99
Now hear how well the Greeks their wiles disguis'd; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8i24jxCF7l
Behold a nation in a man compris'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAifdZN2XmZu
Trembling the miscreant stood, unarm'd and bound; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS2RsUat2mD
He star'd, and roll'd his haggard eyes around, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS8ykxhq2MH
Then said: 'Alas! what earth remains, what sea 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeQCHLErYMn
Is open to receive unhappy me? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgvE9c0SRgq
What fate a wretched fugitive attends, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1vEsyoGTz6
Scorn'd by my foes, abandon'd by my friends?' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAob0VQYmQhq
He said, and sigh'd, and cast a rueful eye: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALc8xn9Rwvk
Our pity kindles, and our passions die. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2QFeUYRTLU
We cheer youth to make his own defense, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACsw28dgrW1
And freely tell us what he was, and whence: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOTbc7OUXRe
What news he could impart, we long to know, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADRQJff12c1
And what to credit from a captive foe. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJRH4mo60UH
"His fear at length dismiss'd, he said: 'Whate'er 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAecQV9szfFO
My fate ordains, my words shall be sincere: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWXfmsmgoBc
I neither can nor dare my birth disclaim; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAv6jZuZQKh
Greece is my country, Sinon is my name. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfqY4mycUkg
Tho' plung'd by Fortune's pow'r in misery, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1VwDkc1ENZ
'T is not in Fortune's pow'r to make me lie. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANHM0bTdK7D
If any chance has hither brought the name 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEBKUBgqW3n
Of Palamedes, not unknown to fame, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAq0VkAGzTLD
Who suffer'd from the malice of the times, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKGIkbtKlhc
Accus'd and sentenc'd for pretended crimes, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdgf5EvZg1U
Because these fatal wars he would prevent; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAInnraxTGS
Whose death the wretched Greeks too late lament- 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAItTm2kkH6E
Me, then a boy, my father, poor and bare 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAr6oKlKtK7N
Of other means, committed to his care, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQB9HmvE3Oj
His kinsman and companion in the war. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAu1k1JmMALu
While Fortune favor'd, while his arms support 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsP871szJLi
The cause, and rul'd the counsels, of the court, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASPVomGMtEi
I made some figure there; nor was my name 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAB05cSZGo1c
Obscure, nor I without my share of fame. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhSV1jRuPGT
But when Ulysses, with fallacious arts, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAf6BxlthvYs
Had made impression in the people's hearts, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9aJW6MnUwb
And forg'd a treason in my patron's name 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqPolRclkar
(I speak of things too far divulg'd by fame), 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARav74dZ6Lf
My kinsman fell. Then I, without support, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACDWrQPu4Mn
In private mourn'd his loss, and left the court. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmIH0piFs7q
Mad as I was, I could not bear his fate 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALoj1hCApms
With silent grief, but loudly blam'd the state, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgeb25fxCTg
And curs'd the direful author of my woes. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJBLxjjJNuj
'T was told again; and hence my ruin rose. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQNXsBpwYOw
I threaten'd, if indulgent Heav'n once more 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2iDP7JbzkK
Would land me safely on my native shore, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARn2KLylAzY
His death with double vengeance to restore. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmroZmOJsaO
This mov'd the murderer's hate; and soon ensued 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXlTKuFoU7G
Th' effects of malice from a man so proud. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALZp4CUJsWz
Ambiguous rumors thro' the camp he spread, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaQLvhXbpAo
And sought, by treason, my devoted head; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfRdI5sd7Ou
New crimes invented; left unturn'd no stone, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACr39Xok8cx
To make my guilt appear, and hide his own; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1QUvtkPsVc
Till Calchas was by force and threat'ning wrought- 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4X3SuDi6eW
But why- why dwell I on that anxious thought? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5TWJE1Rxl
If on my nation just revenge you seek, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArCbKI8GP1Q
And 't is t' appear a foe, t' appear a Greek; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjlWvyQKsvX
Already you my name and country know; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqonTkoh2BZ
Assuage your thirst of blood, and strike the blow: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAD1zUbn9smz
My death will both the kingly brothers please, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAoXZE2yw7LV
And set insatiate Ithacus at ease.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2efuqdkTkQ
This fair unfinish'd tale, these broken starts, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjNVWdeNrKk
Rais'd expectations in our longing hearts: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANW6iz0CokO
Unknowing as we were in Grecian arts. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvGwvrcjWn4
His former trembling once again renew'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATK7WVlhStU
With acted fear, the villain thus pursued: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAU4KzmFKmkP
"'Long had the Grecians (tir'd with fruitless care, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8sLqjDasf9
And wearied with an unsuccessful war) 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbUc5RwfdYU
Resolv'd to raise the siege, and leave the town; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyubZ2dKrtD
And, had the gods permitted, they had gone; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACWIaFTqr9P
But oft the wintry seas and southern winds 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYeSSy0wBEP
Withstood their passage home, and chang'd their minds. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsqgRAp1QO7
Portents and prodigies their souls amaz'd; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAac1gWEbjJ9
But most, when this stupendous pile was rais'd: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANiYGUixrNk
Then flaming meteors, hung in air, were seen, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMq9uh21osJ
And thunders rattled thro' a sky serene. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0bXVsryhDW
Dismay'd, and fearful of some dire event, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUcb7KmjMI5
Eurypylus t' enquire their fate was sent. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAueJZ8eagd5
He from the gods this dreadful answer brought: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGhco61NBWC
"O Grecians, when the Trojan shores you sought, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtQbUpyIMyV
Your passage with a virgin's blood was bought: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qff0THVcM
So must your safe return be bought again, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAznwRmK2TVG
And Grecian blood once more atone the main." 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASteDlB7OVC
The spreading rumor round the people ran; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcwF9uz1dhr
All fear'd, and each believ'd himself the man. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPknzJBjAOb
Ulysses took th' advantage of their fright; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA09m514Y98w
Call'd Calchas, and produc'd in open sight: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHPrZH6iIOY
Then bade him name the wretch, ordain'd by fate 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4LyGZDTG45
The public victim, to redeem the state. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAU6OEmPHo91
Already some presag'd the dire event, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJGIceNVAcO
And saw what sacrifice Ulysses meant. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANBySdipwfl
For twice five days the good old seer withstood 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJvaDeankY7
Th' intended treason, and was dumb to blood, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAc3empHhtvA
Till, tir'd, with endless clamors and pursuit 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYhRSVrFooJ
Of Ithacus, he stood no longer mute; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArIau2BlidX
But, as it was agreed, pronounc'd that I 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWVCVaRaKV4
Was destin'd by the wrathful gods to die. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA7XjBseA6Rb
All prais'd the sentence, pleas'd the storm should fall 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdRFeeyq1Xn
On one alone, whose fury threaten'd all. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAU47f3Pflg5
The dismal day was come; the priests prepare 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS1VOA53bAM
Their leaven'd cakes, and fillets for my hair. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyvs6mzyOCl
I follow'd nature's laws, and must avow 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJLhRllBW7m
I broke my bonds and fled the fatal blow. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABaRchyCjnE
Hid in a weedy lake all night I lay, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzTzr0QZYOy
Secure of safety when they sail'd away. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZwt4RP9BxG
But now what further hopes for me remain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlPSyY3K7Zb
To see my friends, or native soil, again; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlYQqa6qtv3
My tender infants, or my careful sire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjOy8kTLQvi
Whom they returning will to death require; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAUL6MF0YJa
Will perpetrate on them their first design, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9BYOZSdpLD
And take the forfeit of their heads for mine? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApYYWLDWlEf
Which, O! if pity mortal minds can move, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7RCIT8Yro
If there be faith below, or gods above, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABchn6n1d72
If innocence and truth can claim desert, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwnPcxtx0ii
Ye Trojans, from an injur'd wretch avert.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABYNxXWqziB
"False tears true pity move; the king commands 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADx6VRCw19x
To loose his fetters, and unbind his hands: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACSuCo2ap0b
Then adds these friendly words: 'Dismiss thy fears; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkSFXanwu5F
Forget the Greeks; be mine as thou wert theirs. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA88AqNBrmaz
But truly tell, was it for force or guile, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMrebHv9eRY
Or some religious end, you rais'd the pile?' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9I0ZiQ0I33
Thus said the king. He, full of fraudful arts, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hx2kAHalK
This well-invented tale for truth imparts: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbCfNiPJQ8V
'Ye lamps of heav'n!' he said, and lifted high 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaj7vqxsfcn
His hands now free, 'thou venerable sky! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWBBBFpABVV
Inviolable pow'rs, ador'd with dread! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYuSXj8325V
Ye fatal fillets, that once bound this head! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnwpBiMEp2B
Ye sacred altars, from whose flames I fled! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8zAs9mYhJn
Be all of you adjur'd; and grant I may, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdNovafJHpV
Without a crime, th' ungrateful Greeks betray, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuobtCczibX
Reveal the secrets of the guilty state, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAm6T73aeGmW
And justly punish whom I justly hate! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeYIcue85cr
But you, O king, preserve the faith you gave, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiCw4u86DAR
If I, to save myself, your empire save. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiJwzbRbWZL
The Grecian hopes, and all th' attempts they made, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALEZlbgaO6p
Were only founded on Minerva's aid. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQGUsun8Q9L
But from the time when impious Diomede, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGCZK8qpnm7
And false Ulysses, that inventive head, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFHFkGtoka8
Her fatal image from the temple drew, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQGlFP4gIkN
The sleeping guardians of the castle slew, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPKPuJjDR8z
Her virgin statue with their bloody hands 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAy5xNB3hEEG
Polluted, and profan'd her holy bands; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsJafBcDgjP
From thence the tide of fortune left their shore, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPWeEaMWF4A
And ebb'd much faster than it flow'd before: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnotgB1PyYU
Their courage languish'd, as their hopes decay'd; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAonqnVgL6AJ
And Pallas, now averse, refus'd her aid. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPjPU1mvHhY
Nor did the goddess doubtfully declare 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAO319Q5UlPq
Her alter'd mind and alienated care. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAODCur5fQ5P
When first her fatal image touch'd the ground, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAomslJWm4IX
She sternly cast her glaring eyes around, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3sSMUU9y3z
That sparkled as they roll'd, and seem'd to threat: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJBJG18envO
Her heav'nly limbs distill'd a briny sweat. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8k4gc4xxM8
Thrice from the ground she leap'd, was seen to wield 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWaegEmi8yI
Her brandish'd lance, and shake her horrid shield. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnyPJRBORs5
Then Calchas bade our host for flight 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAko4LflX55b
And hope no conquest from the tedious war, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASNsmuUx8yJ
Till first they sail'd for Greece; with pray'rs besought 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsjJpKp1yPs
Her injur'd pow'r, and better omens brought. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFKUpnuBl9l
And now their navy plows the wat'ry main, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAALaaRfWGoU
Yet soon expect it on your shores again, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPlwBeAzU5h
With Pallas pleas'd; as Calchas did ordain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4E9EcxYAua
But first, to reconcile the blue-ey'd maid 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjPCH498lK1
For her stol'n statue and her tow'r betray'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA18Kycg2eVr
Warn'd by the seer, to her offended name 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEpw5mFadee
We rais'd and dedicate this wondrous frame, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiVXqLbC007
So lofty, lest thro' your forbidden gates 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAL7HaRBh9iy
It pass, and intercept our better fates: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqqTn9z4R0T
For, once admitted there, our hopes are lost; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABiAmGEQFnq
And Troy may then a new Palladium boast; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyg6T5faEde
For so religion and the gods ordain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsDxmnPHYdh
That, if you violate with hands profane 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAM5DVO6qEYo
Minerva's gift, your town in flames shall burn, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA70CdiU53DX
(Which omen, O ye gods, on Graecia turn!) 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1H1yImXs1R
But if it climb, with your assisting hands, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA28W4j9BY3A
The Trojan walls, and in the city stands; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvATk0jefFW
Then Troy shall Argos and Mycenae burn, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdyHWzA0cGk
And the reverse of fate on us return.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQTRMRw0ThD

False tears and fawning words the city won. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1ES4atUY4n

Concurring to produce the dire event. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACrz057wVYP
Laocoon, Neptune's priest by lot that year, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAf7oOQn1XBl
With solemn pomp then sacrific'd a steer; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAoLvfYYYVFP
When, dreadful to behold, from sea we spied 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5P1VwCtCvu
Two serpents, rank'd abreast, the seas divide, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfAYdKRtCvK
And smoothly sweep along the swelling tide. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAE3jb4drb58
Their flaming crests above the waves they show; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADV8YhhNfil
Their bellies seem to burn the seas below; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAopMAcY6tSc
Their speckled tails advance to steer their course, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdtiIKnQml0
And on the sounding shore the flying billows force. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATE245cYH67
And now the strand, and now the plain they held; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfvDyokA9Cq
Their ardent eyes with bloody streaks were fill'd; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbgl7tJNIKU
Their nimble tongues they brandish'd as they came, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArBmEUejkkI
And lick'd their hissing jaws, that sputter'd flame. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAlDN3m7oOH
We fled amaz'd; their destin'd way they take, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAipFo2Oprki
And to Laocoon and his children make; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJgel2TaFUF
And first around the tender boys they wind, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzD5d642SEU
Then with their sharpen'd fangs their limbs and bodies grind. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIBw9u79BBu
The wretched father, running to their aid 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANb2ewQXYcT
With pious haste, but vain, they next invade; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGorvuca2tE
Twice round his waist their winding volumes roll'd; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAY63yEyzyWV
And twice about his gasping throat they fold. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAywc3K1OWCt
The priest thus doubly chok'd, their crests divide, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnHv95pPgmm
And tow'ring o'er his head in triumph ride. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4I9g4jUaeJ
With both his hands he labors at the knots; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEMzC95ER1H
His holy fillets the blue venom blots; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6rtPJchnot
His roaring fills the flitting air around. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACwn4bMYXtb
Thus, when an ox receives a glancing wound, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsl0fobTpfW
He breaks his bands, the fatal altar flies, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKJHgn2p5AE
And with loud bellowings breaks the yielding skies. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFOZemLbnq1
Their tasks perform'd, the serpents quit their prey, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArV5iuQctcl
And to the tow'r of Pallas make their way: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWn0jOFSjIW
Couch'd at her feet, they lie protected there 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWq16rt7w0c
By her large buckler and protended spear. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPGLpW0WMPi
Amazement seizes all; the gen'ral cry 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnQXdIGm269
Proclaims Laocoon justly doom'd to die, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAG0zwwxj1GG
Whose hand the will of Pallas had withstood, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiHNsFK9sxB
And dared to violate the sacred wood. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAooVgg5I0SR
All vote t' admit the steed, that vows be paid 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAK1OZbW7lgL
And incense offer'd to th' offended maid. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5AAUpDgnfh
A spacious breach is made; the town lies bare; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6rzk10nw1Q
Some hoisting-levers, some the wheels prepare 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVeezv5AioW
And fasten to the horse's feet; the rest 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAP7Spkhy8Lv
With cables haul along th' unwieldly beast. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtn57EZaJly
Each on his fellow for assistance calls; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAq3u5tjg6DF
At length the fatal fabric mounts the walls, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA65inretbjo
Big with destruction. Boys with chaplets crown'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1f9Flo501J
And choirs of virgins, sing and dance around. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADdy90mBlOe
Thus rais'd aloft, and then descending down, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArMlUIQUuOb
It enters o'er our heads, and threats the town. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAF9fdYtHbY9
O sacred city, built by hands divine! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsIbZdEehAQ
O valiant heroes of the Trojan line! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS9KTaBxAnb
Four times he struck: as oft the clashing sound 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAviztwSlGBP
Of arms was heard, and inward groans rebound. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPLoktMpkhl
Yet, mad with zeal, and blinded with our fate, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS524FyDG9A
We haul along the horse in solemn state; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAxIhNgW5o2P
Then place the dire portent within the tow'r. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAolLezxqGYt
Cassandra cried, and curs'd th' unhappy hour; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUhxEaLiVlQ
Foretold our fate; but, by the god's decree, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAckvV2FNfE4
All heard, and none believ'd the prophecy. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAW5sl37a97f
With branches we the fanes adorn, and waste, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsBN1xI1bku
In jollity, the day ordain'd to be the last. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAERQIoCaB9R
Meantime the rapid heav'ns roll'd down the light, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZuJXXTuWKc
And on the shaded ocean rush'd the night; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKAb45gBOA6
Our men, secure, nor guards nor sentries held, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASSCovI2hLW
But easy sleep their weary limbs compell'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5lxGWEyiLu
The Grecians had embark'd their naval pow'rs 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMYIJQ0Q6qw
From Tenedos, and sought our well-known shores, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABRx05AjNat
Safe under covert of the silent night, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALwqH49Q918
And guided by th' imperial galley's light; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABWeGDFcRaP
When Sinon, favor'd by the partial gods, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPp8hwjT4c4
Unlock'd the horse, and op'd his dark abodes; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYcwemc73Tj
Restor'd to vital air our hidden foes, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA96yLtVb1R9
Who joyful from their long confinement rose. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvMOofs82v0
Tysander bold, and Sthenelus their guide, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJI94ldYjmT
And dire Ulysses down the cable slide: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAC1z1LkOtGm
Then Thoas, Athamas, and Pyrrhus haste; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFltVN8tCL0
Nor was the Podalirian hero last, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQYXBqfsNfA
Nor injur'd Menelaus, nor the fam'd 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgDpBGDoJwL
Epeus, who the fatal engine fram'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASWrGgGvQHf
A nameless crowd succeed; their forces join 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuaDzfavVxc
T' invade the town, oppress'd with sleep and wine. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhwyLCgy178
Those few they find awake first meet their fate; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPd25RrN9tB
Then to their fellows they unbar the gate. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfHAUthzKuJ
"'T was in the dead of night, when sleep repairs 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUHSQNr40NS
Our bodies worn with toils, our minds with cares, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAl7FV4TfBSX
When Hector's ghost before my sight appears: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATrvTrGSD8L
A bloody shroud he seem'd, and bath'd in tears; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1bfDIGysxh
Such as he was, when, by Pelides slain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYApzIn9Z8a
Thessalian coursers dragg'd him o'er the plain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkk5uZNF3Lh
Swoln were his feet, as when the thongs were thrust 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzIL6xxrHd8
Thro' the bor'd holes; his body black with dust; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQdaOZmQn29
Unlike that Hector who return'd from toils 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAle7PbhRNZe
Of war, triumphant, in Aeacian spoils, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvSLe4lrr2m
Or him who made the fainting Greeks retire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHRNnNnrs27
And launch'd against their navy Phrygian fire. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4kD8CaDKIU
His hair and beard stood stiffen'd with his gore; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAH0puDepkwd
And all the wounds he for his country bore 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6EqCq5RZnU
Now stream'd afresh, and with new purple ran. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6lOkOMjitE
I wept to see the visionary man, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5wSwHzABP3
And, while my trance continued, thus began: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAusZFeSyykp
'O light of Trojans, and support of Troy, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuV5r5Sf0xt
Thy father's champion, and thy country's joy! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAU4XBLh5vAy
O, long expected by thy friends! from whence 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAV8bHDC0QHX
Art thou so late return'd for our defense? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3aqYDVs2ef
Do we behold thee, wearied as we are 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFOesAOQ34Z
With length of labors, and with toils of war? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcTZdWvwcXV
After so many fun'rals of thy own 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAy3N5BhCvOs
Art thou restor'd to thy declining town? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASpxNXSSsUw
But say, what wounds are these? What new disgrace 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA28QazKZeI6
Deforms the manly features of thy face?' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYPb2yYOxMP
"To this the specter no reply did frame, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAP9l8phPIwz
But answer'd to the cause for which he came, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfyEOUnZcbx
And, groaning from the bottom of his breast, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAH7pqdLcpuK
This warning in these mournful words express'd: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADCSzjVWTsY
'O goddess-born! escape, by timely flight, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyy0HqUgAd1
The flames and horrors of this fatal night. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ41j183s2
The foes already have possess'd the wall; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAojf8tql0n8
Troy nods from high, and totters to her fall. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0hcaBBws8p
Enough is paid to Priam's royal name, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAxHqR3YSs5i
More than enough to duty and to fame. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALkBipZcHdw
If by a mortal hand my father's throne 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwbzwCqlEfL
Could be defended, 't was by mine alone. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAt32vL7vFqY
Now Troy to thee commends her future state, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWp3LRYkZUk
And gives her gods companions of thy fate: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXA7SCvk3Uz
From their assistance walls expect, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAANHHGb2FNs
Which, wand'ring long, at last thou shalt erect.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGO2bQrHUpN
He said, and brought me, from their blest abodes, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAH5YUQ357lW
The venerable statues of the gods, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkYT9iZg8go
With ancient Vesta from the sacred choir, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAi60jkq2lDt
The wreaths and relics of th' immortal fire. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8eC4P5b9BW
"Now peals of shouts come thund'ring from afar, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZ61oWYlzQq
Cries, threats, and loud laments, and mingled war: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgOac2WwDju
The noise approaches, tho' our palace stood 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA46noPS0kAo
Aloof from streets, encompass'd with a wood. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcRgavcHPJY
Louder, and yet more loud, I hear th' alarms 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA09DOhhIVut
Of human cries distinct, and clashing arms. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOUlkF0pISX
Fear broke my slumbers; I no longer stay, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAikykCNG2zl
But mount the terrace, thence the town survey, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqDpB9Ss6Q3
And hearken what the frightful sounds convey. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlXOxVmynER
Thus, when a flood of fire by wind is borne, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzIqjNG7E5u
Crackling it rolls, and mows the standing corn; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKsIvxNWfAe
Or deluges, descending on the plains, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcjMuCqM8Km
Sweep o'er the yellow year, destroy the pains 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVU4DNTQbXc
Of lab'ring oxen and the peasant's gains; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXMpSqKxpsQ
Unroot the forest oaks, and bear away 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANg20uDQk1u
Flocks, folds, and trees, and undistinguish'd prey: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjnSRCGZZqt
The shepherd climbs the cliff, and sees from far 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjatLZTxCe3
The wasteful ravage of the wat'ry war. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdouhWImfAz
Then Hector's faith was manifestly clear'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAx27yBI3uqY
And Grecian frauds in open light appear'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJmYYoM8rak
The palace of Deiphobus ascends 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtWRwnJOxQ3
In smoky flames, and catches on his friends. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGSNGdOEJ1g
Ucalegon burns next: the seas are bright 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA35sZ7gzsUK
With splendor not their own, and shine with Trojan light. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS1iged2qdO
New clamors and new clangors now arise, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGxJLnPRjRJ
The sound of trumpets mix'd with fighting cries. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAc3X7Vfi1li
With frenzy seiz'd, I run to meet th' alarms, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3gFz8vccVX
Resolv'd on death, resolv'd to die in arms, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJYSJMq7Tio
But first to gather friends, with them t' oppose 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmh1C5CkPwc
(If fortune favor'd) and repel the foes; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACqWw9UuLcB
Spurr'd by my courage, by my country fir'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvruUxmZZu5
With sense of honor and revenge inspir'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWZIIijfDsm
"Pantheus, Apollo's priest, a sacred name, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACWvC6fuLQF
Had scap'd the Grecian swords, and pass'd the flame: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0CkeAzna6p
With relics loaden. to my doors he fled, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiFEzv88K85
And by the hand his tender grandson led. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFbzdypHEZq
'What hope, O Pantheus? whither can we run? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA52bMLVNasx
Where make a stand? and what may yet be done?' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKxIDzgr54r
Scarce had I said, when Pantheus, with a groan: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWDyopdTNiT
'Troy is no more, and Ilium was a town! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALiQ35VqdlZ
The fatal day, th' appointed hour, is come, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABON8QrmPbl

Transfers the Trojan state to Grecian hands. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANme5WbqExb
The fire consumes the town, the foe commands; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAG1KBXZSQ13
And armed hosts, an unexpected force, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARHpZpetAna
Break from the bowels of the fatal horse. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiOBLiZZI9E
Within the gates, proud Sinon throws about 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZIpd5kvco6
The flames; and foes for entrance press without, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlpVZ9395BK
With thousand others, whom I fear to name, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEl6MbbDjm8
More than from Argos or Mycenae came. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPDHNzOFxWQ
To sev'ral posts their parties they divide; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0LIAiroyWD
Some block the narrow streets, some scour the wide: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAG251sdYFLv
The bold they kill, th' unwary they surprise; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAw4NxQUoH9T
Who fights finds death, and death finds him who flies. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3gg10B6saU

And rush undaunted to defend the walls. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAikhV29tGAz
Ripheus and Iph'itus by my side engage, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAue7W3THtqc
For valor one renown'd, and one for age. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlWcSei9IOh
Dymas and Hypanis by moonlight knew 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZZpPIMQLu
My motions and my mien, and to my party drew; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApTN3UUyOwI
With young Coroebus, who by love was led 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgaX8IMMh7N
To win renown and fair Cassandra's bed, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8TJtvWW9S5
And lately brought his troops to Priam's aid, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsXpkt5ALFV
Forewarn'd in vain by the prophetic maid. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAc46WFjKjHk
Whom when I saw resolv'd in arms to fall, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzB5Q5tvHHo
And that one spirit animated all: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIfR4qJ1kQl
'Brave souls!' said I,- 'but brave, alas! in vain- 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASkpQHckEPr
Come, finish what our cruel fates ordain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAt0dnVWROCU
You see the desp'rate state of our affairs, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAF47tH6tCDy
And heav'n's protecting pow'rs are deaf to pray'rs. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA352IEsvaJL
The passive gods behold the Greeks defile 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2rMtPobgev
Their temples, and abandon to the spoil 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANVUQQvsZnN
Their own abodes: we, feeble few, conspire 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAug58Mr5Vlx
To save a sinking town, involv'd in fire. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAR28DJVDpE7
Then let us fall, but fall amidst our foes: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIY2vKmj6Hk
Despair of life the means of living shows.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZcYgrDdaYN
So bold a speech incourag'd their desire 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvREhxQcZQS
Of death, and added fuel to their fire. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAplCTjPpWvL
"As hungry wolves, with raging appetite, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKXPacDRc7X

So rush'd we forth at once; resolv'd to die, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAD79s86u3Ar
Resolv'd, in death, the last extremes to try. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAROrU41w8vm

Th' unequal combat in the public square: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQI29zzufCo
Night was our friend; our leader was despair. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEHp12D8XD0

An ancient and imperial city falls: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0uqRxS2Z6C
The streets are fill'd with frequent funerals; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWPb1OACjde
Houses and holy temples float in blood, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcdkaTCfsY7

Not only Trojans fall; but, in their turn, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHtvVutoXaE
The vanquish'd triumph, and the victors mourn. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJeAoPZ7Qwx
Ours take new courage from despair and night: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcyz7AoXHc7

Androgeos fell among us, with his band, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAokFcZM6CBK
Who thought us Grecians newly come to land. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcO3fDLS8R8
'From whence,' said he, 'my friends, this long delay? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6VHfkpkYU8
You loiter, while the spoils are borne away: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKk6xpUZHWE
Our ships are laden with the Trojan store; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPUeUenIIt0
And you, like truants, come too late ashore.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhVmKWAD7tk
He said, but soon corrected his mistake, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAse2iMdLn4B
Found, by the doubtful answers which we make: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAi65E94LtIX
Amaz'd, he would have shunn'd th' unequal fight; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2XU9IiHsFD
But we, more num'rous, intercept his flight. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJrpOfjzJbN
As when some peasant, in a bushy brake, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsUAGXkEWiA
Has with unwary footing press'd a snake; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJpl8W5aLiM
He starts aside, astonish'd, when he spies 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnpmX7FPRED
His rising crest, blue neck, and rolling eyes; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABBRuaU2QyJ
So from our arms surpris'd Androgeos flies. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALkVEMOUumY

Possess'd with fear, unknowing of the ground, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgq6ZCXcwP1
And of their lives an easy conquest found. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXLyQaFhtWM
Thus Fortune on our first endeavor smil'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAryIOptSlhz
Coroebus then, with youthful hopes beguil'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvyORjne7RG
Swoln with success, and a daring mind, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsgRdzw3VHf
This new invention fatally design'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOs05zR7Hfx

They find us arms.' This said, himself he dress'd 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFMfOMa5T0U
In dead Androgeos' spoils, his upper vest, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqUEHfUP1EL
His painted buckler, and his plumy crest. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwxKIOF1evH
Thus Ripheus, Dymas, all the Trojan train, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHOy6tmJoNP
Lay down their own attire, and strip the slain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVwVy0TDzgo
Mix'd with the Greeks, we go with ill presage, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmfu7FPxmiK
Flatter'd with hopes to glut our greedy rage; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADHNAhSLLE3
Unknown, assaulting whom we blindly meet, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6VylIk2lxQ
And strew with Grecian carcasses the street. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABS7T2z4pVJ
Thus while their straggling parties we defeat, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdiVMGlEQ6B
Some to the shore and safer ships retreat; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJSOKQEoL3U
And some, oppress'd with more ignoble fear, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAov6sLfHK0V

Whom not Minerva's shrine, nor sacred bands, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFkzj2TSkMk
In safety could protect from sacrilegious hands: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ck0DQY1fB

'T was all she could- her tender arms were tied. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5OZBmyFTln
So sad a sight Coroebus could not bear; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeyL1TaTwd0

Amid the barb'rous ravishers he flew: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWcklZocB5q
Our leader's rash example we pursue. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAz26lloz1Bb

They aim at the mistaken crests, from high; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXri69tUBsy
And ours beneath the pond'rous ruin lie. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHhPnIt906a
Then, mov'd with anger and disdain, to see 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2gSaZTmA4A
Their troops dispers'd, the royal virgin free, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARE6VUHGkTo
The Grecians rally, and their pow'rs unite, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAxK4dqO6l2r

"Thus, when the rival winds their quarrel try, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPgV7VqATlA
Contending for the kingdom of the sky, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhjdBE7bvA6

The whirlwind gathers, and the woods are torn: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIvrAcTjhmb

At Pallas' altar, by Peneleus pierc'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAh8a7761Ckp
Then Ripheus follow'd, in th' unequal fight; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsUfKtBiRBG
Just of his word, observant of the right: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAALF1nV9ss0
Heav'n thought not so. Dymas their fate attends, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA7qVMRrRSb0

Borne off to distance by the growing tide, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVWARjYxPnV
Old Iphitus and I were hurried thence, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXLN8oLNoA1
With Pelias wounded, and without defense. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjQQJ3Afhgw
New clamors from th' invested palace ring: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwmI7SmSzep

So hot th' assault, so high the tumult rose, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARAGIAhU4HS
While ours defend, and while the Greeks oppose 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvHmvskqz3h
As all the Dardan and Argolic race 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsfQdlxuGfP
Had been contracted in that narrow space; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA7aA9KgoQdn
Or as all Ilium else were void of fear, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQP37RksFPj
And tumult, war, and slaughter, only there. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANZ1i5aiDJz
Their targets in a tortoise cast, the foes, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzPD14ZTrsh
Secure advancing, to the turrets rose: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2XHRb86urW
Some mount the scaling ladders; some, more bold, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyyAt0M7v7Y

From their demolish'd tow'rs the Trojans throw 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXr7REdl3d9
Huge heaps of stones, that, falling, crush the foe; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvumFvgmh0J
And heavy beams and rafters from the sides 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuhALQe080F
(Such arms their last necessity provides) 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYvCBdUVij1

Join'd by the length of a blind gallery, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAPlvN7CFks
To the king's closet led: a way well known 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6b6Kc2AWn1
To Hector's wife, while Priam held the throne, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6n5jlOEZLT
Thro' which she brought Astyanax, unseen, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADSTvG97UuU
To cheer his grandsire and his grandsire's queen. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAxw8RzO4B4z
Thro' this we pass, and mount the tow'r, from whence 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS5bIsePmqC
With unavailing arms the Trojans make defense. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQJyO6Ap88u
From this the trembling king had oft descried 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAK1wdm2inzS
The Grecian camp, and saw their navy ride. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALP1cyyPph3
Beams from its lofty height with swords we hew, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATA8tzX0svK
Then, wrenching with our hands, th' assault renew; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATMcRc1eJOB
And, where the rafters on the columns meet, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHiHOHb5oyA
We push them headlong with our arms and feet. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbeUotK2ePW
The lightning flies not swifter than the fall, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAn5X6o0zd7Y
Nor thunder louder than the ruin'd wall: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAe5a047I29y
Down goes the top at once; the Greeks beneath 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkO0WgrieaX
Are piecemeal torn, or pounded into death. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAP8FiSVl6Vh
Yet more succeed, and more to death are sent; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3FQlGPICjF
We cease not from above, nor they below relent. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfPu4SyidOU
Before the gate stood Pyrrhus, threat'ning loud, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIozbebdTEr
With glitt'ring arms conspicuous in the crowd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAguRffmOglc
So shines, renew'd in youth, the crested snake, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACX6lfvdgPx
Who slept the winter in a thorny brake, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcId9wEyLyV
And, casting off his slough when spring returns, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFC3QvHVDGU
Now looks aloft, and with new glory burns; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAw3lfsT36CW
Restor'd with poisonous herbs, his ardent sides 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARtHza9uyse
Reflect the sun; and rais'd on spires he rides; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADGpSTm1WWm
High o'er the grass, hissing he rolls along, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZFRHO3GT3D
And brandishes by fits his forky tongue. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuhwlGt7AfO
Proud Periphas, and fierce Automedon, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAn6OUBLco1U
His father's charioteer, together run 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAe6YaEpZ2E3
To force the gate; the Scyrian infantry 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZazjdSzNiC
Rush on in crowds, and the barr'd passage free. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9T5HKbZ4if
Ent'ring the court, with shouts the skies they rend; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXHIpoBJxAj
And flaming firebrands to the roofs ascend. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJe86hJUUBv
Himself, among the foremost, deals his blows, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATYnGVANLN1
And with his ax repeated strokes bestows 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArGxeE1X57I
On the strong doors; then all their shoulders ply, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOnxpNKPjWI
Till from the posts the brazen hinges fly. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvHSZu9s6WT
He hews apace; the double bars at length 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6c9J17jz3N
Yield to his ax and unresisted strength. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiiPhmW4Vv7
A mighty breach is made: the rooms conceal'd 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2duaZJ8hN2
Appear, and all the palace is reveal'd; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJOdblsDAiJ
The halls of audience, and of public state, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPuCUiWUnuN
And where the lonely queen in secret sate. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiqCKJgnrRT
Arm'd soldiers now by trembling maids are seen, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJl7O3dFr71
With not a door, and scarce a space, between. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAp3rGjv5ITu
The house is fill'd with loud laments and cries, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOLtOQxS91k
And shrieks of women rend the vaulted skies; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASHK3lP9F0y
The fearful matrons run from place to place, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA7GTofdO372
And kiss the thresholds, and the posts embrace. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2nNNmFQDxQ
The fatal work inhuman Pyrrhus plies, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnhPJ1MMOHv
And all his father sparkles in his eyes; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAToACR1874f
Nor bars, nor fighting guards, his force sustain: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlzsRL7MiwY
The bars are broken, and the guards are slain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAt3DZDkcpB3
In rush the Greeks, and all the apartments fill; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdflsM3npRH
Those few defendants whom they find, they kill. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAj7fcmnSdgn
Not with so fierce a rage the foaming flood 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1HS45XqoM9
Roars, when he finds his rapid course withstood; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPAQzRxho9L
Bears down the dams with unresisted sway, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAETBcJRNBe1
And sweeps the cattle and the cots away. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8wJBym5aX
These eyes beheld him when he march'd between 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAq0Rokyxudn
The brother kings: I saw th' unhappy queen, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkFnViiHm6z
The hundred wives, and where old Priam stood, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0isbsVtyHK
To stain his hallow'd altar with his brood. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4Tn6n6F2hz
The fifty nuptial beds (such hopes had he, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASkfp2MZCyz
So large a promise, of a progeny), 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAt8UpgeBkCq
The posts, of plated gold, and hung with spoils, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAO7lrjAKCjG
Fell the reward of the proud victor's toils. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAm3YLWZLUng
Where'er the raging fire had left a space, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwOXlEGjqjb
The Grecians enter and possess the place. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQqKHhISldE
"Perhaps you may of Priam's fate enquire. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvTAtrY5yH8
He, when he saw his regal town on fire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAk15GgFVhRc
His ruin'd palace, and his ent'ring foes, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALgyBjEw0hF
On ev'ry side inevitable woes, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgdySLy9EXA
In arms, disus'd, invests his limbs, decay'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJPM351vk0H
Like them, with age; a late and useless aid. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwG0RbKocFj
His feeble shoulders scarce the weight sustain; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApu9AMBn10e
Loaded, not arm'd, he creeps along with pain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADYDPjIZ3ip
Despairing of success, ambitious to be slain! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApwj0cCcxsf
Uncover'd but by heav'n, there stood in view 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5miY2niWqM
An altar; near the hearth a laurel grew, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcR2XstPAhZ
Dodder'd with age, whose boughs encompass round 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKfaXF4rIEm
The household gods, and shade the holy ground. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnhT6eVQWGJ
Here Hecuba, with all her helpless train 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5PJciqAFs8
Of dames, for shelter sought, but sought in vain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIaxQygCbZc
Driv'n like a flock of doves along the sky, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gze7cS6BD
Their images they hug, and to their altars fly. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3VH1x5SeTh
The Queen, when she beheld her trembling lord, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPaKOI4CnF2
And hanging by his side a heavy sword, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGOxUSDX4Yj
'What rage,' she cried, 'has seiz'd my husband's mind? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOX1Ayy8pzu
What arms are these, and to what use design'd? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2kvkqUD5GD
These times want other aids! Were Hector here, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEwGsWcFpaT
Ev'n Hector now in vain, like Priam, would appear. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyoOUPAefsa
With us, one common shelter thou shalt find, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3PBYT6bluK
Or in one common fate with us be join'd.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYDekPbqF9p
She said, and with a last salute embrac'd 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJEfTaFjcUT
The poor old man, and by the laurel plac'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAEAP3zMvQv
Behold! Polites, one of Priam's sons, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAz1PhJhOU9i
Pursued by Pyrrhus, there for safety runs. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAo2sK9YuDj2
Thro' swords and foes, amaz'd and hurt, he flies 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAiOq9iljuF
Thro' empty courts and open galleries. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAV2LCZAUQGu
Him Pyrrhus, urging with his lance, pursues, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuY1rISBbr1
And often reaches, and his thrusts renews. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYY1SyXP6J6
The youth, transfix'd, with lamentable cries, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyYBRMRXwyo
Expires before his wretched parent's eyes: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAk6vaUqN9lD
Whom gasping at his feet when Priam saw, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOabu1eRRfW
The fear of death gave place to nature's law; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdnmaHnMXdm
And, shaking more with anger than with age, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJkoyP2mNOG
'The gods,' said he, 'requite thy brutal rage! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVdr5EAS5Jk
As sure they will, barbarian, sure they must, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsghrrrEN2I
If there be gods in heav'n, and gods be just- 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAovABd53xzB
Who tak'st in wrongs an insolent delight; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlvBm4lEdsp
With a son's death t' infect a father's sight. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q8qkD2DDL
Not he, whom thou and lying fame conspire 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASIz7CutiNU
To call thee his- not he, thy vaunted sire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmucHDyhBMf
Thus us'd my wretched age: the gods he fear'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXq4bIcJuwu
The laws of nature and of nations heard. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8e6afXpuY2
He cheer'd my sorrows, and, for sums of gold, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYChQl82pBw
The bloodless carcass of my Hector sold; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1bIZzQtOhn
Pitied the woes a parent underwent, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWhdwkAALpU
And sent me back in safety from his tent.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIu75u6lNya
"This said, his feeble hand a javelin threw, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUomGyh6Tar
Which, flutt'ring, seem'd to loiter as it flew: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKeYRbk5eQT
Just, and but barely, to the mark it held, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9YIs0REFtZ
And faintly tinkled on the brazen shield. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAItDZrwD5c1
"Then Pyrrhus thus: 'Go thou from me to fate, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAj26ZlX7YYt
And to my father my foul deeds relate. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhCdpRu6mYN
Now die!' With that he dragg'd the trembling sire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVjKHl48A40
Slidd'ring thro' clotter'd blood and holy mire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2uX0CaA7OM
(The mingled paste his murder'd son had made,) 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAq47VQZ5hon
Haul'd from beneath the violated shade, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuemKbrOukt
And on the sacred pile the royal victim laid. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1NAMqQ8ZEK
His right hand held his bloody falchion bare, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANWi2oYNuzd
His left he twisted in his hoary hair; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuM0UcURT0P
Then, with a speeding thrust, his heart he found: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaQOfuXnykz
The lukewarm blood came rushing thro' the wound, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGvWRYtPYzb
And sanguine streams distain'd the sacred ground. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlbVX4Ddf1U
Thus Priam fell, and shar'd one common fate 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiFGFtsVzMk
With Troy in ashes, and his ruin'd state: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUiPSpzwrP6
He, who the scepter of all Asia sway'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEHdeeIUd8c
Whom monarchs like domestic slaves obey'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWdE4jAkX7E
On the bleak shore now lies th' abandon'd king, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZM6j1OqItB
A headless carcass, and a nameless thing. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADbCSi2oUXR
"Then, not before, I felt my cruddled blood 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbRM5anDCrQ
Congeal with fear, my hair with horror stood: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzb3Alo0sht
My father's image fill'd my pious mind, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlHPKktxFOf
Lest equal years might equal fortune find. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAoq6peg1VDE
Again I thought on my forsaken wife, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAz5jB05f0jL
And trembled for my son's abandon'd life. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAT2jHMd0sRb
I look'd about, but found myself alone, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtyKpdcZIq4
Deserted at my need! My friends were gone. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUuicT8eRXA
Some spent with toil, some with despair oppress'd, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZSpmIHBjop
Leap'd headlong from the heights; the flames consum'd the rest. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6nMdajvCXX
Thus, wand'ring in my way, without a guide, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKavFHMEvEC
The graceless Helen in the porch I spied 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYUmBNAIsJB
Of Vesta's temple; there she lurk'd alone; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAhdAiQAxVt
Muffled she sate, and, what she could, unknown: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWYjWdEXzzD
But, by the flames that cast their blaze around, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAu58Yjv9r1E
That common bane of Greece and Troy I found. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtUWn0a9k1L
For Ilium burnt, she dreads the Trojan sword; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAf18mKqOHU6
More dreads the vengeance of her injur'd lord; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAocCpWXismA
Ev'n by those gods who refug'd her abhorr'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA304mlzcJ4t
Trembling with rage, the strumpet I regard, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8Pkvyk67it
Resolv'd to give her guilt the due reward: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA851I6xQFrr
'Shall she triumphant sail before the wind, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnjVXhoRDLL
And leave in flames unhappy Troy behind? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACiyJyVeDEh
Shall she her kingdom and her friends review, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASO80pRcHw2
In state attended with a captive crew, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJYQzz7FGAd
While unreveng'd the good old Priam falls, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACZvKwJNggx
And Grecian fires consume the Trojan walls? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuyw8zeVaql
For this the Phrygian fields and Xanthian flood 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAB31sasmsB9
Were swell'd with bodies, and were drunk with blood? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS1fkqJ6Nli
'T is true, a soldier can small honor gain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVyHO1egp8A
And boast no conquest, from a woman slain: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcFO3ptipBd
Yet shall the fact not pass without applause, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4ay3ywwqMR
Of vengeance taken in so just a cause; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALo1NP0g8Ww
The punish'd crime shall set my soul at ease, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvV78AgZBOG
And murm'ring manes of my friends appease.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARQh2WFZp98
Thus while I rave, a gleam of pleasing light 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkMl4MmIVgr
Spread o'er the place; and, shining heav'nly bright, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALIerOerNcl
My mother stood reveal'd before my sight 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAU4HNStsyeP
Never so radiant did her eyes appear; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjB81kn3XKb
Not her own star confess'd a light so clear: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYY3TKON58M
Great in her charms, as when on gods above 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA23dz7ny9iy
She looks, and breathes herself into their love. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmEOq43CyG2
She held my hand, the destin'd blow to break; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjAg3kvCQpI
Then from her rosy lips began to speak: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARh9HcQmfru
'My son, from whence this madness, this neglect 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEJxrmXbdVX
Of my commands, and those whom I protect? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzNNC4pzrhy
Why this unmanly rage? Recall to mind 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJS0zwb2rg2
Whom you forsake, what pledges leave behind. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAV632ntfyEd
Look if your helpless father yet survive, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4fjvgw1Qn1
Or if Ascanius or Creusa live. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXFsMAxD24R
Around your house the greedy Grecians err; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHhGeTHUVkQ
And these had perish'd in the nightly war, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMyhxqOgAlQ
But for my presence and protecting care. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAk62pHn9cq
Not Helen's face, nor Paris, was in fault; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzy4nvNWh6d
But by the gods was this destruction brought. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAx44TKE5YVM
Now cast your eyes around, while I dissolve 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2m955EFBe3
The mists and films that mortal eyes involve, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdyUv1RSOD7
Purge from your sight the dross, and make you see 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5euVTGNHVR
The shape of each avenging deity. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3AecVATWxT
Enlighten'd thus, my just commands fulfil, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAp8DlLfwdZU
Nor fear obedience to your mother's will. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkHy3JJL3hF
Where yon disorder'd heap of ruin lies, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmAw4ClmZXj
Stones rent from stones; where clouds of dust arise- 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPCT4BMKpZl
Amid that smother Neptune holds his place, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmDVszCC5XP
Below the wall's foundation drives his mace, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArByE0JCs1C
And heaves the building from the solid base. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAibVHI6WBlQ
Look where, in arms, imperial Juno stands 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqGJZsLlPMK
Full in the Scaean gate, with loud commands, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnsCISWFXvB
Urging on shore the tardy Grecian bands. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMmCthEq7qZ
See! Pallas, of her snaky buckler proud, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAh36FQH2Hh0
Bestrides the tow'r, refulgent thro' the cloud: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATPOudXJzDw
See! Jove new courage to the foe supplies, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAq25j7c1z0q
And arms against the town the partial deities. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuUJ0gTSUC1
Haste hence, my son; this fruitless labor end: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWjElebONZK
Haste, where your trembling spouse and sire attend: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3xelOdAtoz
Haste; and a mother's care your passage shall befriend.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAliPHJ9tgBE
She said, and swiftly vanish'd from my sight, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbiuGRfMz9a
Obscure in clouds and gloomy shades of night. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkUzi9BTCaJ
I look'd, I listen'd; dreadful sounds I hear; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATjs0shDdZV
And the dire forms of hostile gods appear. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqTJwf4r1Sn
Troy sunk in flames I saw (nor could prevent), 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsX5HIvDQtd
And Ilium from its old foundations rent; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZZugdotVWd
Rent like a mountain ash, which dar'd the winds, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABzZRbE1r8o
And stood the sturdy strokes of lab'ring hinds. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjXjQbsdBr6
About the roots the cruel ax resounds; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuB3vuqEZR8
The stumps are pierc'd with oft-repeated wounds: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeQYWW2COeF
The war is felt on high; the nodding crown 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyb6GjAH1eb
Now threats a fall, and throws the leafy honors down. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAV1RXY0pGUW
To their united force it yields, tho' late, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdj8oIgQKwS
And mourns with mortal groans th' approaching fate: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6ugRTmq0MM
The roots no more their upper load sustain; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkSCNBPZyuk
But down she falls, and spreads a ruin thro' the plain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAglY1BweAzh
"Descending thence, I scape thro' foes and fire: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyK6uDJrOKM
Before the goddess, foes and flames retire. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJof3zUVbkB
Arriv'd at home, he, for whose only sake, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANjoiCBetv6
Or most for his, such toils I undertake, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKvwNNqiUqi
The good Anchises, whom, by timely flight, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVGt1CFL3RE
I purpos'd to secure on Ida's height, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiE1FvE6ClR
Refus'd the journey, resolute to die 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0ooBvyDG6Z
And add his fun'rals to the fate of Troy, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACCbxRKS0RD
Rather than exile and old age sustain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADAd5wBqo2i
'Go you, whose blood runs warm in ev'ry vein. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAylGg5lKevv
Had Heav'n decreed that I should life enjoy, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnD4JG0QxtO
Heav'n had decreed to save unhappy Troy. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANzSqBTRCcq
'T is, sure, enough, if not too much, for one, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAk8OkfNsmlx
Twice to have seen our Ilium overthrown. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAk0o3H7LU2q
Make haste to save the poor remaining crew, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaZNojTgvhU
And give this useless corpse a long adieu. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABkQPyhtG1K
These weak old hands suffice to stop my breath; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeJKFdwJnV9
At least the pitying foes will aid my death, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdKTC3fvQSr
To take my spoils, and leave my body bare: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAwr83GfKaTJ
As for my sepulcher, let Heav'n take care. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYVfJcNRpK4
'T is long since I, for my celestial wife 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtO8TRSMqHd
Loath'd by the gods, have dragg'd a ling'ring life; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtAGpNDKgy0
Since ev'ry hour and moment I expire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWifWBwsd4W
Blasted from heav'n by Jove's avenging fire.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4VVjmZzo1I
This oft repeated, he stood fix'd to die: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJIt7670Xq2
Myself, my wife, my son, my family, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALiKPZnwzmQ
Intreat, pray, beg, and raise a doleful cry- 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApXl6hlLguj
'What, will he still persist, on death resolve, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEQAivMsb5Z
And in his ruin all his house involve!' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaPZchMAHgA
He still persists his reasons to maintain; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuuDeM0JptP

"Urg'd by despair, again I go to try 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApdS1I2My5z
The fate of arms, resolv'd in fight to die: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUSCTYXKDV1
'What hope remains, but what my death must give? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiNjJY4vUHU
Can I, without so dear a father, live? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMqxpHA85hk
You term it prudence, what I baseness call: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgJukDdVuH7
Could such a word from such a parent fall? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWInrA4pp5w
If Fortune please, and so the gods ordain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyAZrkkKzhZ
That nothing should of ruin'd Troy remain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmQsLiZ9cSe
And you conspire with Fortune to be slain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcXUmaqbORm
The way to death is wide, th' approaches near: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6vHcuWLrGq
For soon relentless Pyrrhus will appear, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAp1qBRboRxK
Reeking with Priam's blood- the wretch who slew 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gh4IywM66
The son (inhuman) in the father's view, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS30H5D29Ds
And then the sire himself to the dire altar drew. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0vNkTQ1b6i
O goddess mother, give me back to Fate; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAt7OSPzypMd
Your gift was undesir'd, and came too late! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVsFUDRbLcH
Did you, for this, unhappy me convey 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPeF69tjxXU
Thro' foes and fires, to see my house a prey? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtW3ne721EE
Shall I my father, wife, and son behold, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6HbHSFUqWX
Welt'ring in blood, each other's arms infold? 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQcoBnYQYgq
Haste! gird my sword, tho' spent and overcome: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQgCOCMBQ8i
'T is the last summons to receive our doom. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYzcjqsfNSx
I hear thee, Fate; and I obey thy call! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyUK1kbC8Dg

Restore me to the yet unfinish'd fight: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAvk852Rzyd
My death is wanting to conclude the night.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWJEBLZqkLd

While th' other hand sustains my weighty shield, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdpmO4HKHXQ
And forth I rush to seek th' abandon'd field. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADhGCtJW424
I went; but sad Creusa stopp'd my way, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAp5idOriPfH
And cross the threshold in my passage lay, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIbZifrKKxt
Embrac'd my knees, and, when I would have gone, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5UPuIj5Mg
Shew'd me my feeble sire and tender son: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYtqW0zW6yP
'If death be your design, at least,' said she, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbZRcJfsmiK
'Take us along to share your destiny. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsQmxowBBW9

While thus she fills the house with clam'rous cries, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWmbo7fN9Lp
Our hearing is diverted by our eyes: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyV6d9pUrr1
For, while I held my son, in the short space 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlHY35SRJqo
Betwixt our kisses and our last embrace; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6lmd4DYHyn
Strange to relate, from young Iulus' head 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZHLmEjOtFo
A lambent flame arose, which gently spread 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQacQPjpI0m
Around his brows, and on his temples fed. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1NeKSVuQUK
Amaz'd, with running water we prepare 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAN0TX2H2U95
To quench the sacred fire, and slake his hair; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALpkZTMkgnn
But old Anchises, vers'd in omens, rear'd 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJgPfqSXxxE
His hands to heav'n, and this request preferr'd: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9MOkmgawDb
'If any vows, almighty Jove, can bend 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqmGUgy99FG
Thy will; if piety can pray'rs commend, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0MGLh7baVu
Confirm the glad presage which thou art pleas'd to send.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6nW990ARRA
Scarce had he said, when, on our left, we hear 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADlNmKmP3mn
A peal of rattling thunder roll in air: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWiJwrYEUxx
There shot a streaming lamp along the sky, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKre51QwSMo
Which on the winged lightning seem'd to fly; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACDcq97szCb
From o'er the roof the blaze began to move, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAv5evfk9H12
And, trailing, vanish'd in th' Idaean grove. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtPGA11gjY7
It swept a path in heav'n, and shone a guide, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArorimaZ56v
Then in a steaming stench of sulphur died. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlk7qG0Jwo5
"The good old man with suppliant hands implor'd 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHVy2PTZ9iJ
The gods' protection, and their star ador'd. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACXMXcJhGK7

This tender child! These omens are your own, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaYlf70AwKf
And you can yet restore the ruin'd town. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAV0dades4sC
At least accomplish what your signs foreshow: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAne47S6DWuo
I stand resign'd, and am prepar'd to go.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABdv5j6bO2A
"He said. The crackling flames appear on high. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZaQ87rucZ
And driving sparkles dance along the sky. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0j7dBx4hcC
With Vulcan's rage the rising winds conspire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZTheivK0z8
And near our palace roll the flood of fire. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3j5kOUmO8C
'Haste, my dear father, ('t is no time to wait,) 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASiWHqSNw40
And load my shoulders with a willing freight. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAygDYzjbMOq
Whate'er befalls, your life shall be my care; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAg5tITSvccS
One death, or one deliv'rance, we will share. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA49J9zMp5ni
My hand shall lead our little son; and you, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAT0JOoTKgUH
My faithful consort, shall our steps pursue. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWfBcgawlOY
Next, you, my servants, heed my strict commands: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATuhov5CY2p
Without the walls a ruin'd temple stands, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUVbg9DXLtj
To Ceres hallow'd once; a cypress nigh 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiQerYpFYRV
Shoots up her venerable head on high, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQTsjfpQ3VT
By long religion kept; there bend your feet, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0XZU9ffKoB
And in divided parties let us meet. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArWYQKEid8L
Our country gods, the relics, and the bands, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHqAaodY5Et
Hold you, my father, in your guiltless hands: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANADWHMylM94h
In me 't is impious holy things to bear, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfIsb6GdhdI
Red as I am with slaughter, new from war, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdXKNLXHLK3
Till in some living stream I cleanse the guilt 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJMxjljwYnH
Of dire debate, and blood in battle spilt.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANASt4GjfeHT2
Thus, ord'ring all that prudence could provide, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlLx1PyMWL0
I clothe my shoulders with a lion's hide 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAoDG13vCkcz
And yellow spoils; then, on my bending back, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAE4jzWzvpO4
The welcome load of my dear father take; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiJUmhohg9u
While on my better hand Ascanius hung, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMDdGeL63nu
And with unequal paces tripp'd along. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjTR78Z3BaQ
Creusa kept behind; by choice we stray 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWEc2D17OLH
Thro' ev'ry dark and ev'ry devious way. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6IasvSZ4DZ
I, who so bold and dauntless, just before, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACTj7YEuWHQ
The Grecian darts and shock of lances bore, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0osR9tmumY
At ev'ry shadow now am seiz'd with fear, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUndpuKZAsT
Not for myself, but for the charge I bear; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOIHA8fpsuj
Till, near the ruin'd gate arriv'd at last, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXWBwvSuqWI
Secure, and deeming all the danger past, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJLl4PQ9GML
A frightful noise of trampling feet we hear. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANANuakydescC
My father, looking thro' the shades, with fear, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAajeCf5HOU4
Cried out: 'Haste, haste, my son, the foes are nigh; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0xQt2HPZAN
Their swords and shining armor I descry.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUwaTN9M352
Some hostile god, for some unknown offense, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFNr3xeAQU2
Had sure bereft my mind of better sense; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3MP0ePoZ2O
For, while thro' winding ways I took my flight, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAW8u8WUMOMM
And sought the shelter of the gloomy night, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdr1IGe4LtA
Alas! I lost Creusa: hard to tell 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArgsDFDlgOK
If by her fatal destiny she fell, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUZfh2PCiFd
Or weary sate, or wander'd with affright; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEFhk53ZRkM
But she was lost for ever to my sight. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAq3SwSXem0k
I knew not, or reflected, till I meet 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5IDyqs8JXY
My friends, at Ceres' now deserted seat. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0puki15aIQ
We met: not one was wanting; only she 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9kCWDycq9
Deceiv'd her friends, her son, and wretched me. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYU6UkMg9Qq
"What mad expressions did my tongue refuse! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9ONxxUkkIN
Whom did I not, of gods or men, accuse! 1095Please respect copyright.PENANABn8604wnaw
This was the fatal blow, that pain'd me more 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZEn3RTvg1
Than all I felt from ruin'd Troy before. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAp2IeEmMkF6
Stung with my loss, and raving with despair, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfYqLwJ4kyn
Abandoning my now forgotten care, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQtuBnStH0C
Of counsel, comfort, and of hope bereft, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAp8PJm89YlD
My sire, my son, my country gods I left. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgAIj2UM8Re
In shining armor once again I sheathe 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFSms2QTe6y
My limbs, not feeling wounds, nor fearing death. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAEbMxx6cpKs
Then headlong to the burning walls I run, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnQJni16dkW
And seek the danger I was forc'd to shun. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXTnVZqCf0W
I tread my former tracks; thro' night explore 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAukjVQrvEJf
Each passage, ev'ry street I cross'd before. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvuY8q6YHTa
All things were full of horror and affright, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmoeCzIEOQS
And dreadful ev'n the silence of the night. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdS4VCzjzKo
Then to my father's house I make repair, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACQgqmmduMm
With some small glimpse of hope to find her there. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfeMRiInngt
Instead of her, the cruel Greeks I met; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeFAhRFVrZV
The house was fill'd with foes, with flames beset. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYFhEoFO481
Driv'n on the wings of winds, whole sheets of fire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANATmxpoHwgZv
Thro' air transported, to the roofs aspire. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnrxIZpuc7i
From thence to Priam's palace I resort, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA03LJxKTx40
And search the citadel and desart court. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQomTORalCl
Then, unobserv'd, I pass by Juno's church: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkJkXApKg4j
A guard of Grecians had possess'd the porch; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXVPuG1oWoU
There Phoenix and Ulysses watch prey, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAL1oHuNDTYS
And thither all the wealth of Troy convey: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAI6NBkPSmtk
The spoils which they from ransack'd houses brought, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbFPCN9PnGF
And golden bowls from burning altars caught, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANARhH0r4X8H7
The tables of the gods, the purple vests, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0zEvmpIcq
The people's treasure, and the pomp of priests. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnT2z5wBczj
A rank of wretched youths, with pinion'd hands, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8hvFQ5dJSU
And captive matrons, in long order stands. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmyTRS9Orho
Then, with ungovern'd madness, I proclaim, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA487g75vNN3
Thro' all the silent street, Creusa's name: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXB5kd4XcR6
Creusa still I call; at length she hears, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAC7GdTI6JIg
And sudden thro' the shades of night appears- 1095Please respect copyright.PENANACOAIiyRYat
Appears, no more Creusa, nor my wife, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhDtyNebDRQ
But a pale specter, larger than the life. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAk0PkzYgerE
Aghast, astonish'd, and struck dumb with fear, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArOZsX1RcSb
I stood; like bristles rose my stiffen'd hair. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVLo6zUFr8E
Then thus the ghost began to soothe my grief 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbfumI2oWYh
'Nor tears, nor cries, can give the dead relief. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtly3ESjP56
Desist, my much-lov'd lord,'t indulge your pain; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAT2E4dJUAYs
You bear no more than what the gods ordain. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAr7epJN5axm
My fates permit me not from hence to fly; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMDf4I7iUyy
Nor he, the great controller of the sky. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHkzglT9ioH
Long wand'ring ways for you the pow'rs decree; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1ya86xf6i6
On land hard labors, and a length of sea. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnhyd4b9vBP
Then, after many painful years are past, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAaIl1r5D3oI
On Latium's happy shore you shall be cast, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAdb0CAggb40
Where gentle Tiber from his bed beholds 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5k28rTC8b7
The flow'ry meadows, and the feeding folds. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAF6BAtfXgU0
There end your toils; and there your fates provide 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAf0A5aKMlW8
A quiet kingdom, and a royal bride: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQG9l8tdeyD
There fortune shall the Trojan line restore, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMGq8iTaqKN
And you for lost Creusa weep no more. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnJcA6IYukz
Fear not that I shall watch, with servile shame, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANALa5htwT34M
Th' imperious looks of some proud Grecian dame; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnpQHbmzURa
Or, stooping to the victor's lust, disgrace 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVNLBZxyY5Y
My goddess mother, or my royal race. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYZlbLktvJ1
And now, farewell! The parent of the gods 1095Please respect copyright.PENANArHNox5x1we
Restrains my fleeting soul in her abodes: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAOX4O2SMnZT
I trust our common issue to your care.' 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYoG0mB16zc
She said, and gliding pass'd unseen in air. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzPApLHNUZS
I strove to speak: but horror tied my tongue; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAA6R5MOAnKQ
And thrice about her neck my arms I flung, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyZYG8RhtkA
And, thrice deceiv'd, on vain embraces hung. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8IFTOguoqS
Light as an empty dream at break of day, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbLYVXYzs8j
Or as a blast of wind, she rush'd away. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA73MBBMVvXA
"Thus having pass'd the night in fruitless pain, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApOwusoWSWk
I to my longing friends return again, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgRU1HvYwJZ
Amaz'd th' augmented number to behold, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQmBzV9rnLa
Of men and matrons mix'd, of young and old; 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAa7GavdNmpC
A wretched exil'd crew together brought, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5j6QbBnEyE
With arms appointed, and with treasure fraught, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5UokaxVW7U
Resolv'd, and willing, under my command, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4SSqcxkg4h
To run all hazards both of sea and land. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANApVwU8oCSRZ
The Morn began, from Ida, to display 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYm3Qjb1V3R
Her rosy cheeks; and Phosphor led the day: 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfk2vFvnRFp
Before the gates the Grecians took their post, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXhOiCmpzMC
And all pretense of late relief was lost. 1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4oIDpOeJ36
I yield to Fate, unwillingly retire, 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjeRamq0HUz
And, loaded, up the hill convey my sire." 1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKX9u5YkCvo
