25
(storm) men shouted,
ropes screamed
26
(Carthage) they were like
bees at the beginning of summer
27
Aeneas saw a strange sight which for the first
time allayed his fears
28
our king is aeneas
He had no equal for his piety and his care
29
but who could fail to know
about the people of Aeneas and his ancestory
30
unmarried girls and boys sang hyms around it and
rejoiced to have a hand on the rope
31
gliding
smoothly
32
you must escape
son of a goddess. you must save yourself from these flames
33
Frenzy and anger
drove me on and suddenly it seemed a noble thing to die in arms
34
like a ancient ash tree
high in the mountains...blow upon blow...threatens to fall...dying groan
35
as I ran toward her ranting
and raving, suddenly appeared before my eyes
36
the flame seemed to
lick his soft hair
37
Little Iulus
twined his fingers in my right hand
38
Creusa was torn from me by
the cruelty of fate
39
I stormed and
raged and blamed everyman that ever was
40
There prosperity is waiting for you,
and a kingdom and a royal bride
41
With these words Anna
lit a fire of wild loove
42
The flame was eating
the soft marrow of her bones
43
(Anna says she shouldn't live) without knowing the delight
of children and the rewards of love
44
he would be the man to rule an Italy
pregnant with empire
45
(Mercury) Have you entirely forgotten your own kingdom
and your own destiny
46
The warning, the command from the gods
had struck him like a thunderbolt
47
utterly betrayed and
desolate
48
But Aeneas was
faithful to his duty
49
Much as he longed to soothe her...
he nevertheless carried out the commands of the gods
50
uproot the
mighty oak
51
stop the flow of
rivers and turn stars back in their courses
52
Women are
unstable creatures
53
I have not kept faith with
the ashes of Sychaeus
54
to think that it was my hands
that built the pyre
55
the cause of all this trojan suffuring will be
a foreign bride
56
Aeneas took lead
in all this work
57
Aeneas strode
fearlessly along beside her
58
vast quagmire of boiling
whirlpools which belches sand
59
begging... stretching out their arms
in longing for the further shores
60
The son of Anchises checked his stride and
stood stock still with many thoughts coursing through his mind as he pitied their cruel fate
61
in that instant he wept and spoke
sweet words of love to her
62
I swear by the stars, by the gods above, by whatever their is to sear by in the depths of the earth,
it was against my will
63
let us
hasten
64
(Deiphobus) there is no need for anger
great princess
65
I knew your devotion
would prevail
66
I counted the
hours knowing you would come
67
Three times
the phantom melted in his hands
68
Come now, and I shall tell you of
the glory that lies in store
69
the other is made all in gleaming whit eivory, but through it the powers of the underworld send
false dreams up toward the heavans
70
The princess' hair was
blazing, her crown with all its lovely jewels was blazing
71
A sacred building, massive and soaring to the sky with
100 columns, stood on the highest point of the city
72
He spoke at last,
and joyfully
73
Allecto
bringer of grief
74
Dear to her heart were the horrors of
war, anger and viscous accusations
75
Taking one of the sankes from her
dark hair, the goddess Alecto threw it on Amata's breast to enter deep into her heart
76
liquid
venom
77
Turnus was laughing...war is the
business of men
78
she threw a burning torch at the warrior
and it lodged deep in his heart, smoking with black light
79
In a frenzy of rage
he roared for his armour
80
The list for battle raged within him,
the criminal madness of war, and above all, anger
81
Last of all came
Camillia… she could could have skimmed the tops of standing crop without touching them
82
The scorner of gods
Mezentius
83
You must choose your leaders from
across seas
84
my only source of
joy
85
Augustus Caesar, leading the men of Italy into battle alongside
the senate and the people
86
from his radiant forehead there
streamed a double flame
