by Virgil

  • Book I:

  • Book II:
    All were attentive to the godlike man, When from his lofty couch he thus began:
  • Book III:

  • Book IV:
    But anxious cares already seiz'd the queen: She fed within her veins a flame unseen
  • Book V:
    Meantime the Trojan cuts his wat'ry way, Fix'd on his voyage, thro' the curling sea
  • Book VI:
    He said, and wept; then spread his sails before The winds, and reach'd at length the Cumaean shore
  • Book VII:
    And thou, O matron of immortal fame, Here dying, to the shore hast left thy name
  • Book VIII:

  • Book XII:
    When Turnus saw the Latins leave the field, Their armies broken, and their courage quell'd
