Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Virgil´s Aeneid: First Book Of war and of the fated exile now I sing, who from the shores of Troy his prow Towards Italy and Lavinia´s confines bent; Much tossed about on lands and seas he went, Forced by the gods, to please fierce Juno´s ire; And much he suffered on war´s hideous pyre To bring his gods to Latium and to build A city that with Latins would be filled; Protected by the towering walls of Rome, Where the Albanian fathers found a home. Tell me, O Muse! the cause - divinity Despised-smarting at what, heaven´s queen could be Induced, this chieftain great and true to force, Vicissitudes and countless labors worse TO undergo! Lives there in heaven such ire? An ancient city colonized by Tyre There was - Carthage, facing, yet far away From Tiber´s mouths, most rich, fierce in the fray Of war, and skilled. This, Juno loved far more Than other lands, ´tis said, e´en passing o´cr Samos; her chariots here and here her arms She kept. The goddess this state free from harms Would keep, caressing for the nations now, If by some chance the gods would back her vow. But ´twas not to be so; for she had heard A race sprung from the blood of Trojan herd Would later overturn the Tyrian towers.
