Vix ea fātus erat senior, subitōque fragōre
intonuit laevum, et dē caelō lāpsa per umbrās
stella facem dūcēns multā cum lūce cucurrit.
Illam summa super lābentem culmina tēctī695
cernimus Īdaeā clāram sē condere silvā
signantemque viās; tum longō līmite sulcus
dat lūcem et lātē circum loca sulphure fūmant.
Hīc vērō victus genitor sē tollit ad aurās
adfāturque deōs et sānctum sīdus adōrat.700
'Iam iam nūlla mora est; sequor et quā dūcitis adsum,
Dī patriī; servāte domum, servāte nepōtem.
Vestrum hoc augurium, vestrōque in nūmine Trōia est.
Cēdō equidem nec, nāte, tibī comes īre recūsō.'
Dīxerat ille, et iam per moenia clārior ignis705
audītur, propiusque aestūs incendia volvunt.
'Ergō age, cāre pater, cervīcī impōnere nostrae;

Vōs, famulī, quae dīcam animīs advertite vestrīs.
Est urbe ēgressīs tumulus templumque vetustum

hanc ex dīversō sēdem veniēmus in ūnam.
Tū, genitor, cape sacra manū patriōsque Penātīs;

Haec fātus lātōs umerōs subiectaque colla
