  1. ipse ego te nuper Tiberino in litore vidi,
  2. qua Tyrrhena vadis Laurentibus aestuat unda,
  3. tendentem cursus vexantemque ilia nuda
  4. calce ferocis equi, vultu dextraque minacem:
  5. —si qua fides dictis, stupui armatumque [*]() putavi—:
  6. Gaetulo sic pulcher equo Troianaque quassans
  7. tela novercales ibat venator in agros
    8. [*](nec te reus ipse timebat M: some edd. mark a lacuna after reus: de te, pro te edd., nec tunc Leo: se tenebat conj. Pliillimore. )[*](armatumque M: Martemque Markland. be dealt with under the Lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus. (" nec reus ipse= et ipse is qui non erat reus "). I do not, )
  8. Ascanius miseramque patri flagrabat Elissam;
  9. Troilus haud aliter gyro leviore minantes
  10. eludebat equos aut quem de turribus altis
  11. Arcadas Ogygio versantem in pulvere metas
  12. spectabant Tyriae non torvo lumine matres.
  13. Ergo age iam [*]() magno—ducis indulgentia pulsat
  14. certaque dat votis hilaris vestigia frater—
  15. surge animo et fortes castrorum concipe curas,
  16. monstrabunt acies Mavors Actaeaque virgo,
  17. flectere Castor equos, umeris quatere arma Quirinus,
  18. qui tibi tam tenero permisit plaudere collo
  19. nubigenas clipeos intactaque caedibus arma.
