Virgil pg 8 (752-759) Flashcards
dixerat Anchises natumque unaque Sibyllam
conventus trahit in medios turbamque sonantem, et tumulum capit unde omnes longo ordine posset adversos legere et venientum discere vultus.
Anchises had spoken, and he drew his son and the Sibyl together into the middle of the gathering and the noisy crowd, and he selected a mound from which he could survey everyone face to face in a long line and become aquainted with the faces of those who came.
‘nunc age, Dardaniam prolem quae deinde sequatur gloria, qui maneant Itala de gente nepotes, inlustres animas nostrumque in nomen ituras, expediam dictis, et te tua fata docebo.
‘Come now, I will set forth in words what glory is to attend the Trojan race in the future, what grandchildren from the Italian race are waiting, the distinguished souls and those destined to come into our name, and I will teach you your fates.
