Description
Excerpt from Vergil''s Æneid: A Translation
Anchises; then renew the banquet. Having thus spoken, he then wreathes his brows with a leafy bough, and calls in prayer upon the Genius of the place and Tellus, first of the Gods, and the Nymphs and the Streams as yet unknown; and then he invokes the Night, and the Stars of Night now just rising, and Jove Of Ida, and, in due order, the Phrygian Mother, and his two parents, one in heaven the other in the Shades. Then the omnipotent father thundered loudly thrice from high heaven, and, shaking it with his own hand, showed from the clear sky a cloud glowing with rays of golden light. Then suddenly through the Trojan band runs the rumour that the day has come on which they are to found their destined city. Eagerly they renew the feast, and joyously, in consequence of this great omen, set forth the bowls and wreathe the cups with ?owers.
