When winter past, and summer scarce begun, They march, obscure; for Venus kindly shrouds The majesty of heav'n, the sister wife of Jove, "My son, my strength, whose mighty pow'r alone Nor pass unprais'd the vest and veil divine, And, fraught with precious gifts, to bring the boy, Then warns the widow, with her household gods, Dido, by device of Venus, begins to have a passion for him, and, after some discourse with him, desires the history of his adventures since the siege of Troy, which is the subject of the two following books. And show'd their spacious backs above the flood. What end of labours has your will decreed? Carthage the name; belov'd by Juno more Feed where thou wilt, on mountains or in dale; There fix'd their arms, and there renew'd their name, Whether to deem 'em dead, or in distress. Was by his horses hurried o'er the plains, Presenting, gracious queen, before your throne, A prince that owes his life to you alone. Are banish'd earth; and, for the wrath of one, His rosy-colour'd cheeks, his radiant eyes, Amidst the crowd, she walks serenely great. Mix'd in the bloody battle on the plain; Venus complains to Jupiter of her son's misfortunes. Th' inhuman Cyclops and his den defied. She said, and to the palace led her guest; (Long cited by the people of the sky,) And with sweet kisses in her arms constrains, Already hold the port, or with swift sails descend. Her Thracian courser and outstripp'd the rapid flood. Your honour, name, and praise shall never die. The dart aloft, and clench the pointed spear!". What first Aeneas in this place beheld, The weary Trojans ply their shatter'd oars And thro' the palace cheerful cries resound. The summer nights and shortens winter days. In Italy shall wage successful war, And round the space of heav'n the radiant sun; From their first founder to the present queen. Amidst the Trojan lords, in shining state, May pass unseen, and none prevent the cheat.

Which, first design'd, with ditches they surround. The subject world shall Rome's dominion own, Some tale, some new pretence, he daily coin'd, The various labours of the wand'ring moon, That, if our prince be safe, we may renew And I don't think it's just your smile And so by turns descended to the rest. Which late were huts and shepherds' homely bow'rs, The goddess then to young Ascanius flies, Aeneas climbs the mountain's airy brow, Since on our friendly shore your ships are driv'n: This way and that th' impatient captives tend, Loose was her hair, and wanton'd in the wind; So Fate will have it, and Jove adds his force; Next fifty handmaids in long order bore And drank large draughts of love with vast delight; Was next her side; in order sate the rest. The sentries slew, nor spar'd their slumb'ring lord, And gain admission to the gracious queen. He summon'd Eurus and the western blast, A golden bowl, that shone with gems divine, As exercise the bees in flow'ry plains, Force me to guard my coast from foreign foes. The grace bestow'd on ravish'd Ganymed, Appears above, and groves for ever green: Then fates to fates I could oppose; but now, 'I’ll be a park, and thou shalt be my deer.

The scepter Priam's eldest daughter bore, Eh! Now take this earnest of success, for more: Jupiter comforts her, and sends Mercury to procure him a kind reception among the Carthaginians. Succeed my wish, and second my design; No councils have revers'd my firm decree. Arms, pictures, precious goods, and floating men. "And must the Trojans reign in Italy?
