Aeneid 1.1-7
Arma virumque canō, Trōiae quī prīmus ab ōrīs
Ītaliam fātō profugus Lāvīniaque vēnit
lītora, multum ille et terrīs iactātus et altō
vī superum, saevae memorem Iūnōnis ob īram,
multa quoque et bellō passus, dum conderet urbem5
īnferretque deōs Latiō; genus unde Latīnum
Albānīque patrēs atque altae moenia Rōmae.
Aeneid 1.258-259
fāta tibī; cernēs urbem et prōmissa Lavīnī
moenia,
Aeneid 1.269-271
trīgintā magnōs volvendīs mēnsibus orbīs
imperiō explēbit, rēgnumque ab sēde Lavīnī
trānsferet, et Longam multā vī mūniet Albam.
