Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Presented to the Library of the University of Toronto 1. And while these things are going on in a far different place, Juno, Saturn´s daughter, sent Iris to the bold Turnus. Turnus then chanced to be sitting in the grove, in the sacred valley of his ancestor Pilumnus; whom thus Thaumas´ daughter addressed with rosy lips: "Turnus, what none of the Gods dared promise to thy prayers, lo, day in its course has brought to thee unasked. Æneas has left his settlement, his friends, his fleet, and has gone in quest of the royal abode of Palatine Evander. And this is not all; he has made his way to the extremest cities of Corythus, and is arming a force of the collected rustics of the Etruscans. Why dost thou hesitate? Now is the time to call for steed and car. Cease all delay: confound and seize his camp!" She spoke, and raised herself to the skies on balanced wings, and as she flew cut in the clouds a vast bow. The warrior knew her, and raised his clasped hands to the stars, and with these words followed her as she fled: "Iris, glory of heaven, who has brought thee down to me, wafted from the clouds to earth? Whence this sudden brightness? I see the mid heaven part in twain, and the stars wandering in the sky. Such omens I will follow, whoever thou art who callest me to arms." And thus speaking he went to the stream, and drew pure water from the surface of the flood, uttering many prayers to the Gods, and burthened the air with his vows. 25. Presently the whole army was advancing on the open plain, rich in horses, rich in embroidered garments and golden ornaments.
