الصفحة 163 - I permitted, my son, to see thy face, to hear and return the well-known accents? So indeed I concluded in my mind, and reckoned it would happen, computing the time : nor have my anxious hopes deceived me. Over what lands, O son, and over what immense seas, have you, I hear, been tossed! with what dangers harassed! how I dreaded lest you had sustained harm from Libya's realms! But he [said], Your ghost, your sorrowing ghost, my sire, oftentimes appearing, compelled me to set forward to these thresholds....
الصفحة 149 - Before the vestibule itself, and in the first jaws of hell, Grief and vengeful Cares have placed their couches, and pale Diseases dwell, and disconsolate Old Age, and Fear, and the evil counsellor Famine, and vile, deformed Indigence, forms ghastly to the sight ! and Death, and Toil ; then Sleep, akin to Death, and criminal Joys of the mind ; and in the opposite threshold murderous War, and the iron bedchambers of the Furies, and frantic Discord, having her viperous locks bound with bloody fillets.
الصفحة 149 - Here ^Eneas, disconcerted with sudden fear, grasps his sword, and presents the naked point to each approaching shade : and had not his skilful guide put him in mind that they were airy unbodied phantoms, fluttering about under an empty form, he had rushed in and with his sword struck at the ghosts in vain.
الصفحة 167 - Cures and a poor estate to vast empire. Whom Tullus shall next succeed, who shall break the peace of his country, and rouse to arms his inactive subjects, and troops now unused to triumphs. Whom follows next vainglorious Ancus, even now too much rejoicing in the breath of popular applause. Will you also see...
الصفحة 151 - ... to swear and violate their oath. All that crowd which you see consists of naked and unburied persons : that ferryman is Charon : these, whom the stream carries, are interred ; for it is not permitted to transport them over the horrid banks, and hoarse waves, before their bones are quietly lodged in a final abode. They wander a hundred years, and flutter about these shores : then, at length admitted, they visit the wished-for lakes. The offspring of Anchises paused and repressed his steps, deeply...
الصفحة 77 - Whatever verses the virgin has inscribed on the leaves, she ranges in harmonious order, and leaves in the cave enclosed by themselves : uncovered they remain in their position, nor recede from their order. But when, upon turning the hinge, a small breath of wind has blown upon them, and the door [by opening] has discomposed the tender leaves, she never afterwards cares to catch the verses as they are fluttering in the hollow cave, nor to recover their situation, or join them together.
الصفحة 162 - ... a fragrant grove of laurel ; whence from on high the river Eridanus rolls in copious streams through the wood. Here is a band of those who sustained wounds in fighting for their country ; priests who preserved themselves pure and holy, while life remained ; pious poets, who sang in strains worthy of Apollo; those who improved life by the invention of arts, and who by their worthy deeds made others remember them : all these have their temples crowned with a snow-white fillet. Whom, gathered around,...
الصفحة 150 - A grim ferryman guards these floods and riv"ers, Charon, of frightful slovenliness; on whose chin a load of grey hair neglected lies; his eyes are flame: his vestments hang from his shoulders by a knot, with filth overgrown. Himself thrusts on the barge with a pole, and tends the sails, and wafts over the bodies in his ironcolojjred boat, now in years : but the god .is of fresh and green old age.
الصفحة 152 - I thee implore, invincible one, release me from these woes : either throw on me some earth (for thou canst do so), and seek out the Veline port ; or, if there be any means, if thy goddess mother point out any, (for thou dost not, I presume, without the will of the gods, attempt to cross such mighty rivers and the Stygian lake,) lend your hand to an unhappy wretch, and bear me with you over the waves, that in death at least I may rest in peaceful seats. Thus he spoke, when thus the prophetess began...
الصفحة 160 - Pirithoiis, over whom hangs a black flinty rock, every moment threatening to tumble down, and seeming to be actually falling? Golden pillars supporting lofty genial couches shine, and full in their view are banquets furnished out with regal magnificence ; the chief of the Furies sits by them, and debars them from touching the provisions with their hands j and starts up, lifting her torch on high, and thunders over them with her voice. Here are those...
