    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.
