Aeneid

Virgil

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

  1. The Trojans peering from the lofty walls
  2. survey the foe, and arm for sure defence
  3. of every point exposed. They prove the gates
  4. with fearful care, bind bridge with tower, and bring
  5. good store of javelins. Serestus bold
  6. and Mnestheus to their labors promptly fly,
  7. whom Sire Aeneas bade in time of stress
  8. to have authority and free command
  9. over his warriars. Along the walls
  10. the legions, by the cast of lots, divide
  11. the pain and peril, giving each his due
  12. of alternating vigil and repose.
