DRY DE N'S

VIRGI L.

VOLUME II.

a 2

When ruin'd Troy became the Grecians prey,
And Ilium's lofty towers in afhes lay:
Warn'd by celestial omens, we retreat,
To feek in foreign lands a happier feat.
Near old Antandros, and at Ida's foot,
The timber of the facred groves we cut;
And build our fleet: uncertain yet to find
What place the gods for our repose affign'd.
Friends daily flock, and fcarce the kindly spring
Began to cloathe the ground, and birds to sing :
When old Anchifes fummon'd all to fea :
The crew, my father and the fates obey.

With fighs and tears I leave my native fhore,

[ocr errors]

And empty fields, where Ilium ftood before.

My fire, my fon, our lefs, and greater gods,
All fail at once; and cleave the briny floods.

Against our coast appears a spacious land,
Which once the fierce Lycurgus did command:
Thracia the name; the people bold in war;
Vast are their fields, and tillage is their care.
A hofpitable realm, while fate was kind;
With Troy in friendship and religion join'd.
I land, with lucklefs omens; then adore
Their gods, and draw a line along the shore:
I lay the deep foundations of a wall:
And Enos, nam'd from me, the city call.
To Dionæan Venus vows are paid,
And all the powers that rifing labours aid;
A bull on Jove's imperial altar laid.
