THE GATES of heav n unfold Jove summons all	A
The gods to council in the common hall	A
Sublimely seated he surveys from far	B
The fields the camp the fortune of the war	C
And all th inferior world From first to last	D
The sov reign senate in degrees are plac d	E
Then thus th almighty sire began Ye gods	F
Natives or denizens of blest abodes	F
From whence these murmurs and this change of mind	G
This backward fate from what was first design d	E
Why this protracted war when my commands	F
Pronounc d a peace and gave the Latian lands	F
What fear or hope on either part divides	F
Our heav ns and arms our powers on diff rent sides	F
A lawful time of war at length will come	H
Nor need your haste anticipate the doom	I
When Carthage shall contend the world with Rome	J
Shall force the rigid rocks and Alpine chains	F
And like a flood come pouring on the plains	F
Then is your time for faction and debate	K
For partial favor and permitted hate	K
Let now your immature dissension cease	F
Sit quiet and compose your souls to peace	F
Thus Jupiter in few unfolds the charge	L
But lovely Venus thus replies at large	L
O pow r immense eternal energy	E
For to what else protection can we fly	M
Seest thou the proud Rutulians how they dare	N
In fields unpunish d and insult my care	N
How lofty Turnus vaunts amidst his train	O
In shining arms triumphant on the plain	O
Ev n in their lines and trenches they contend	P
And scarce their walls the Trojan troops defend	P
The town is fill d with slaughter and o erfloats	F
With a red deluge their increasing moats	F
neas ignorant and far from thence	F
Has left a camp expos d without defense	F
This endless outrage shall they still sustain	O
Shall Troy renew d be forc d and fir d again	Q
A second siege my banish d issue fears	F
And a new Diomede in arms appears	F
One more audacious mortal will be found	R
And I thy daughter wait another wound	R
Yet if with fates averse without thy leave	S
The Latian lands my progeny receive	S
Bear they the pains of violated law	T
And thy protection from their aid withdraw	T
But if the gods their sure success foretell	U
If those of heav n consent with those of hell	U
To promise Italy who dare debate	K
The pow r of Jove or fix another fate	K
What should I tell of tempests on the main	O
Of olus usurping Neptune s reign	O
Of Iris sent with Bacchanalian heat	V
T inspire the matrons and destroy the fleet	V
Now Juno to the Stygian sky descends	F
Solicits hell for aid and arms the fiends	F
That new example wanted yet above	W
An act that well became the wife of Jove	W
Alecto rais d by her with rage inflames	F
The peaceful bosoms of the Latian dames	F
Imperial sway no more exalts my mind	G
Such hopes I had indeed while Heav n was kind	G
Now let my happier foes possess my place	F
Whom Jove prefers before the Trojan race	F
And conquer they whom you with conquest grace	F
Since you can spare from all your wide command	X
No spot of earth no hospitable land	X
Which may my wand ring fugitives receive	W
Since haughty Juno will not give you leave	W
Then father if I still may use that name	Y
By ruin d Troy yet smoking from the flame	Y
I beg you let Ascanius by my care	N
Be freed from danger and dismiss d the war	C
Inglorious let him live without a crown	Z
The father may be cast on coasts unknown	A2
Struggling with fate but let me save the son	B2
Mine is Cythera mine the Cyprian tow rs	F
In those recesses and those sacred bow rs	F
Obscurely let him rest his right resign	C2
To promis d empire and his Julian line	C2
Then Carthage may th Ausonian towns destroy	D2
Nor fear the race of a rejected boy	D2
What profits it my son to scape the fire	E2
Arm d with his gods and loaded with his sire	E2
To pass the perils of the seas and wind	G
Evade the Greeks and leave the war behind	G
To reach th Italian shores if after all	A
Our second Pergamus is doom d to fall	A
Much better had he curb d his high desires	F
And hover d o er his ill extinguish d fires	F
To Simois banks the fugitives restore	C
And give them back to war and all the woes before	C
Deep indignation swell d Saturnia s heart	F2
And must I own she said my secret smart	F2
What with more decence were in silence kept	G2
And but for this unjust reproach had slept	G2
Did god or man your fav rite son advise	F
With war unhop d the Latians to surprise	F
By fate you boast and by the gods decree	E
He left his native land for Italy	E
Confess the truth by mad Cassandra more	C
Than Heav n inspir d he sought a foreign shore	C
Did I persuade to trust his second Troy	D2
To the raw conduct of a beardless boy	D2
With walls unfinish d which himself forsakes	F
And thro the waves a wand ring voyage takes	F
When have I urg d him meanly to demand	X
The Tuscan aid and arm a quiet land	X
Did I or Iris give this mad advice	F
Or made the fool himself the fatal choice	F
You think it hard the Latians should destroy	D2
With swords your Trojans and with fires your Troy	D2
Hard and unjust indeed for men to draw	T
Their native air nor take a foreign law	T
That Turnus is permitted still to live	W
To whom his birth a god and goddess give	W
But yet t is just and lawful for your line	C2
To drive their fields and force with fraud to join	H2
Realms not your own among your clans divide	I2
And from the bridegroom tear the promis d bride	I2
Petition while you public arms prepare	N
Pretend a peace and yet provoke a war	C
T was giv n to you your darling son to shroud	J2
To draw the dastard from the fighting crowd	J2
And for a man obtend an empty cloud	J2
From flaming fleets you turn d the fire away	K2
And chang d the ships to daughters of the sea	F
But t is my crime the Queen of Heav n offends	F
If she presume to save her suff ring friends	F
Your son not knowing what his foes decree	F
You say is absent absent let him be	F
Yours is Cythera yours the Cyprian tow rs	F
The soft recesses and the sacred bow rs	F
Why do you then these needless arms prepare	N
And thus provoke a people prone to war	C
Did I with fire the Trojan town deface	F
Or hinder from return your exil d race	F
Was I the cause of mischief or the man	L2
Whose lawless lust the fatal war began	L2
Think on whose faith th adult rous youth relied	I2
Who promis d who procur d the Spartan bride	I2
When all th united states of Greece combin d	F
To purge the world of the perfidious kind	G
Then was your time to fear the Trojan fate	K
Your quarrels and complaints are now too late	K
Thus Juno Murmurs rise with mix d applause	F
Just as they favor or dislike the cause	F
So winds when yet unfledg d in woods they lie	M
In whispers first their tender voices try	M
Then issue on the main with bellowing rage	M2
And storms to trembling mariners presage	N2
Then thus to both replied th imperial god	O2
Who shakes heav n s axles with his awful nod	O2
When he begins the silent senate stand	X
With rev rence list ning to the dread command	X
The clouds dispel the winds their breath restrain	O
And the hush d waves lie flatted on the main	O
Celestials your attentive ears incline	C2
Since said the god the Trojans must not join	H2
In wish d alliance with the Latian line	C2
Since endless jarrings and immortal hate	K
Tend but to discompose our happy state	K
The war henceforward be resign d to fate	K
Each to his proper fortune stand or fall	A
Equal and unconcern d I look on all	A
Rutulians Trojans are the same to me	F
And both shall draw the lots their fates decree	F
Let these assault if Fortune be their friend	P
And if she favors those let those defend	P
The Fates will find their way The Thund rer said	P2
And shook the sacred honors of his head	P2
Attesting Styx th inviolable flood	Q2
And the black regions of his	F
