seemed to give burning torches in her sleep: "Seek Troy here; is your home," she says.
Iam tempus agi res, §5.639nec tantis mora prodigiis.
"Now is the time for action, is there delay for such great wonders.
En quattuor arae §5.640Neptuno; deus ipse faces animumque ministrat. §5.641Haec memorans, prima infensum vi corripit ignem, §5.642sublataque procul dextra conixa coruscat, §5.643et iacit: arrectae mentes stupefactaque corda
Behold, four altars Neptune; the god himself supplies the torches and the courage." these things, she first seizes the hostile fire with force, with her right hand raised far, she brandishes it with effort, throws it: the minds of the Trojan women were aroused their hearts astounded.
§5.644Iliadum. Hic una e multis, quae maxima natu, §5.645Pyrgo, tot Priami natorum regia nutrix: §5.646Non Beroë vobis, non haec Rhoeteïa, matres, §5.647est Dorycli coniunx; divini signa decoris §5.648ardentesque notate oculos; qui spiritus illi, §5.649qui voltus, vocisque sonus, vel gressus eunti. §5.650Ipsa egomet dudum Beroen digressa reliqui §5.651aegram, indignantem, tali quod sola careret §5.652munere, nec meritos Anchisae inferet honores. §5.653Haec effata. §5.654At matres primo ancipites oculisque malignis §5.655ambiguae spectare rates miserum inter amorem §5.656praesentis terrae fatisque vocantia regna, §5.657cum dea se paribus per caelum sustulit alis, §5.658ingentemque fuga secuit sub nubibus arcum. §5.659Tum vero attonitae monstris actaeque furore §5.660conclamant, rapiuntque focis penetralibus ignem; §5.661pars spoliant aras, frondem ac virgulta facesque §5.662coniciunt. Furit immissis Volcanus habenis §5.663transtra per et remos et pictas abiete puppes. §5.664Nuntius Anchisae ad tumulum cuneosque theatri §5.665incensas perfert naves Eumelus, et ipsi §5.666respiciunt atram in nimbo volitare favillam. §5.667Primus et Ascanius, cursus ut laetus equestres §5.668ducebat, sic acer equo turbata petivit §5.669castra, nec exanimes possunt retinere magistri.
Here one from many, who was the eldest,, the royal nurse of so many children of Priam, says:"This is no Beroe for you, mothers, this is not the Rhoeteian of Doryclus; note the signs of divine beauty her burning eyes; what spirit is in her, a countenance, and the sound of her voice, or her gait as she goes. myself just now left Beroe behind, grieving because she alone was lacking such duty, and would not pay the merited honors to Anchises." spoke these words. the mothers at first, hesitating and with hostile eyes, doubtfully at the ships between their wretched love the present land and the kingdoms calling by the fates, the goddess raised herself through the heaven with equal wings, cut a vast rainbow under the clouds in her flight. indeed astounded by the wonders and driven by madness cry out, and snatch fire from the inner hearths; despoil the altars, and throw leafy branches, brushwood, and torches. rages with loose reins the benches and oars and painted fir-wood sterns. carries the news of the burning ships to the tomb Anchises and the wedges of the theater, and they themselves back and see black ash flying in a cloud. also Ascanius, just as he was gladly leading the equestrian, so fiercely on his horse sought the troubled, nor can the breathless teachers hold him back."What is this new madness?
§5.670Quis furor iste novus? Quo nunc, quo tenditis
inquit,
Whither now, whither do you tend," says, "alas, wretched citizens?
Not the enemy and the hostile camp the Greeks, but your own hopes you burn.
En, ego vester §5.673Ascanius!
Galeam ante pedes proiecit inanem, §5.674qua ludo indutus belli simulacra ciebat; §5.675accelerat simul Aeneas, simul agmina Teucrum. §5.676Ast illae diversa metu per litora passim §5.677diffugiunt, silvasque et sicubi concava furtim §5.678saxa petunt; piget incepti lucisque, suosque §5.679mutatae adgnoscunt, excussaque pectore Iuno est. §5.680Sed non idcirco flammae atque incendia vires §5.681indomitas posuere; udo sub robore vivit §5.682stuppa vomens tardum fumum, lentusque carinas §5.683est vapor, et toto descendit corpore pestis, §5.684nec vires heroum infusaque flumina prosunt. §5.685Tum pius Aeneas umeris abscindere vestem, §5.686auxilioque vocare deos, et tendere palmas: §5.687Iuppiter omnipotens, si nondum exosus ad unum §5.688Troianos, si quid pietas antiqua labores §5.689respicit humanos, da flammam evadere classi §5.690nunc, Pater, et tenues Teucrum res eripe leto. §5.691Vel tu, quod superest infesto fulmine morti, §5.692si mereor, demitte, tuaque hic obrue dextra. §5.693Vix haec ediderat, cum effusis imbribus atra §5.694tempestas sine more furit, tonitruque tremescunt §5.695ardua terrarum et campi; ruit aethere toto §5.696turbidus imber aqua densisque nigerrimus austris; §5.697implenturque super puppes; semiusta madescunt §5.698robora; restinctus donec vapor omnis, et omnes, §5.699quattuor amissis, servatae a peste carinae. §5.700At pater Aeneas, casu concussus acerbo, §5.701nunc huc ingentes, nunc illuc pectore curas §5.702mutabat versans, Siculisne resideret arvis, §5.703oblitus fatorum, Italasne capesseret oras. §5.704Tum senior Nautes, unum Tritonia Pallas §5.705quem docuit multaque insignem reddidit arte, §5.706haec responsa dabat, vel quae portenderet ira §5.707magna deum, vel quae fatorum posceret ordo; §5.708isque his Aenean solatus vocibus infit: §5.709Nate dea, quo fata trahunt retrahuntque, sequamur; §5.710quidquid erit, superanda omnis fortuna ferendo est. §5.711Est tibi Dardanius divinae stirpis Acestes: §5.712hunc cape consiliis socium et coniunge volentem; §5.713huic trade, amissis superant qui navibus, et quos §5.714pertaesum magni incepti rerumque tuarum est; §5.715longaevosque senes ac fessas aequore matres,
Behold, I am your!" He cast his empty helmet before his feet, which clothed in play he was stirring up the images of war; the same time Aeneas hastens, at the same time the troops of the Trojans. those women scatter in fear everywhere along the diverse shores, seek the woods and wherever there are hollow secretly; they are weary of their undertaking and the light, and recognizing own people with changed mind, Juno is shaken from their breast. not on that account did the flames and fires lay down untamed strength; under the wet oak lives oakum, vomiting slow smoke, and a slow heat the hulls, and the plague descends through the whole body, do the strengths of heroes and poured-in waters profit. pious Aeneas tore the garment from his shoulders, called the gods for help, and stretched out his palms:"Almighty Jupiter, if you do not yet hate the Trojans a man, if ancient pity looks back upon human at all, grant that the fleet escape the flame, Father, and snatch the weakened fortunes of the Trojans from death. do you, if I deserve it, send down what remains to death with your hostile thunderbolt, overwhelm me here with your right hand." had he uttered these things, when with poured-out rains a black rages without measure, and with thunder tremble high places of the earth and the plains; there rushes from the whole sky turbulent rain with water and very black with dense south winds; the sterns are filled from above; the half-burned become wet; until all heat was extinguished, and all, four lost, the ships were saved from the plague. father Aeneas, struck by the bitter misfortune, turning massive cares in his breast, now here, now there, whether he should settle in the Sicilian fields, of the fates, or seek the Italian shores. elder Nautes, whom alone Tritonian Pallas and rendered distinguished with much skill, these responses, whether what the great wrath the gods portended, or what the order of the fates required; consoling Aeneas with these words, he begins:"Goddess-born, whither the fates draw us and draw us back, let us follow; shall be, every fortune must be overcome by enduring. have Trojan Acestes of divine lineage: him as a partner for your counsels and join him willing; over to him those who are left over from the lost ships, and those are weary of your great undertaking and your fortunes; the aged elders and the mothers weary of the sea,"
