    His demum exactis, perfecto munere divae,
    devenere locos laetos et amoena virecta
    fortunatorum nemorum sedesque beatas.
    640
    Largior hic campos aether et lumine vestit
    purpureo, solemque suum, sua sidera norunt.
    Pars in gramineis exercent membra palaestris,
    contendunt ludo et fulva luctantur harena;
    pars pedibus plaudunt choreas et carmina dicunt+.
    645
    Nec non Threïcius longa cum veste sacerdos
    obloquitur numeris septem discrimina vocum,
    iamque eadem+ digitis, iam pectine pulsat eburno.
    Hic genus antiquum Teucri, pulcherrima proles,
    magnanimi heroes, nati melioribus annis+,
    650
    Ilusque Assaracusque et Troiae Dardanus auctor.
    Arma procul currusque virum miratur inanes.
    Stant terra defixae hastae, passimque soluti
    per campum pascuntur equi. Quae+ gratia+ currum++
    armorumque fuit+ vivis+, quae cura nitentis
    655
    pascere equos, eadem sequitur+ tellure repostos.
    Conspicit, ecce, alios dextra laevaque per herbam
    vescentis, laetumque choro paeana canentis
    inter odoratum lauri nemus, unde superne
    plurimus Eridani per silvam volvitur amnis.
    660
    Hic manus ob patriam pugnando volnera passi,
    quique sacerdotes casti, dum vita manebat,
    quique pii vates et Phoebo digna locuti,
    inventas aut qui vitam excoluere per artes,
    quique sui memores alios fecere merendo,
    665
    omnibus his nivea cinguntur tempora vitta.
    Quos circumfusos sic est adfata Sybilla,
    Musaeum ante omnes, medium nam plurima turba
    hunc habet, atque umeris exstantem suspicit altis:
    “Dicite, felices animae, tuque, optime vates,
    670
    quae regio Anchisen, quis habet locus? Illius ergo
    venimus, et magnos Erebi transnavimus amnes.”
    Atque huic responsum paucis ita reddidit heros:
    “Nulli certa domus; lucis habitamus opacis,
    riparumque toros et prata recentia rivis
    675
    incolimus. Sed vos, si fert ita corde voluntas,
    hoc superate iugum; et facili iam tramite sistam.”
    Dixit, et ante tulit gressum, camposque nitentis
    desuper ostentat; dehinc summa cacumina linquunt.
