Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...et famam extingui veterum sic posse malorum. Quid moror? Inrumpunt thalamo, comes additus una hortator scelerum Aeolides. Di, talia Grais instaurate, pio si poenas ore reposco. бзо Sed te qui vivum casus, age fare vicissim, attulerint. Pelagine venis erroribus actus an monitu divom? An quae te Fortuna fatigat, ut tristis sine sole domos, loca turbida, adires?' Нâc vice sermonum roseis Aurora quadrigis 535 iam medium aetherio cursu traiecerat axem. Et fors omne datum traherent per talia tempus, sed comes admonuit breviterque adfata Sibylla est. 'Nox ruit, Aenea; nos flendo ducimus horas. Hic locus est, partis ubi se via findit in ambas: 540 dextera quae Ditis magni sub moenia tendit, hac iter Elysium nobis; at laeva malorum exercet poenas et ad impia Tartara mittit.' Deiphobus contra 'Ne saevi, magna sacerdos: discedam, explebo numerum reddarque tenebris. 545 I decus, i, nostrum: melioribus utere fatis.' Tantum effatus, et in verbo vestigia torsit.

Porta adversa ingens, solidoque adamante columnae, vis ut nulla virum, non ipsi exscindere bello caelicolae valeant; stat ferrea turris ad auras, Tisiphoneque sedens, palla succincta cruenta, 555 vestibulum exsomnis servat noctésque diesque. Hinc exaudiri gemitus et saeva sonare verbera, tum stridor ferri tractaeque catenae. Constitit Aeneas strepitumque exterritus hausit. 'Quae scelerum facies?

About the Author:
Publius Vergilius Maro, known to us as Virgil (70 B.C.-19 B.C.), is best remembered for his masterpiece, the Aeneid, in which he represented the Emperor Augustus as a descendant of the half-divine Aeneas, a refugee from the fall of Troy and legendary founder of Rome. Virgil claimed on his deathbed that the Aeneid was unfinished and expressed a desire to have it burned, but it became the national epic of ancient Rome, a monument of Latin literature, and has been regarded as one of the great classics of Western literature ever since. Virgil's other works include the Eclogues and the Georgics, also considered masterpieces.
