da, pater, Iliacos Teucris.' tum regia Iuno

acta furore graui: 'quid me alta silentia cogis

rumpere et obductum uerbis uulgare dolorem?

Aenean hominum quisquam diuumque subegit65

bella sequi aut hostem regi se inferre Latino?

Italiam petiit fatis auctoribus (esto)

Cassandrae impulsus furiis: num linquere castra

hortati sumus aut uitam committere uentis?

num puero summam belli, num credere muros,70

Tyrrhenamque fidem aut gentis agitare quietas?

quis deus in fraudem, quae dura potentia nostra

egit? ubi hic Iuno demissaue nubibus Iris?

indignum est Italos Troiam circumdare flammis

nascentem et patria Turnum consistere terra,75

cui Pilumnus auus, cui diua Venilia mater:

quid face Troianos atra uim ferre Latinis,

arua aliena iugo premere atque auertere praedas?

quid soceros legere et gremiis abducere pactas,

pacem orare manu, praefigere puppibus arma?80

tu potes Aenean manibus subducere Graium

proque uiro nebulam et uentos obtendere inanis,

et potes in totidem classem conuertere nymphas:
