    Arms and the man I sing, who first made way,
    predestined exile, from the Trojan shore
    to Italy, the blest Lavinian strand.
    Smitten of storms he was on land and sea
    by violence of Heaven, to satisfy
    stern Juno's sleepless wrath; and much in war
    he suffered, seeking at the last to found
    the city, and bring o'er his fathers' gods
    to safe abode in Latium; whence arose
    the Latin race, old Alba's reverend lords,
    and from her hills wide-walled, imperial Rome.
