Question 1

sic equidem ducebam animo rebarque futurum tempora dinumerans, nec me mea cura fefellit.

Answer 1

Thus for my part, I kept considering in my mind and kept thinking that it would be, counting the seasons, nor did my anxiety fail me.

Question 2

quas ego te terras et quanta per aequora vectum accipio! quantis iactatum, nate, periclis! quam metui ne quid Libyae tibi regna nocerent!’

Answer 2

I welcome you; over what lands and what great seas you have travelled! By what great dangers you have been tossed about, o son! How I feared that the kingdoms of Libya would harm you in some way!’

Question 3

ille autem: ‘tua me, genitor, tua tristis imago saepius occurrens haec limina tendere adegit; stant sale Tyrrheno classes.

Answer 3

But that [Aeneas replied]: ‘Your image, father, your sad image, so often springing to my mind, drove me to make my way to these thresholds; my ships lie anchor on the Tyrrhenian sea.

Question 4

da iungere dextram, da, genitor, teque amplexu ne subtrahe nostro.’

Grant, father, grant [me] to join our right hands, and do not withdraw from my embrace.’

Question 5

sic memorans largo fletu simul ora rigabat.

Answer 5

As he spoke in this way, he moistened his face at the same time with copious weeping.

Question 6

ter conatus ibi collo dare bracchia circum; ter frustra comprensa manus effugit imago, par levibus ventis volucrique simillima somno.

Answer 6

Three times he tried there to put his arms around [Anchises’] neck; three times the image, grasped in vain, escaped his hands, like light winds and most similar to winged sleep.
