Virgil

Vergil. The Aeneid of Virgil. Williams, Theodore, C, translator. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1910.

  1. Virgins of Helicon, renew my song!
  2. Instruct me what proud kings to battle flown
  3. with following legions throng the serried plain.
  4. Tell me what heroes and illustrious arms
  5. Italia's bosom in her dawning day
  6. benignant bore: for your celestial minds,
  7. have memory of the past, but faint and low
  8. steals glory's whisper on a mortal ear.
