Talia iactabam, et furiata mente ferebar:
cum mihi se, non ante oculis tam clara, videndam
590obtulit et pura per noctem in luce refulsit
alma parens, confessa deam, qualisque videri
caelicolis et quanta solet, dextraque prehensum
continuit, roseoque haec insuper addidit ore:
Nate, quis indomitas tantus dolor excitat iras?
595Quid furis, aut quonam nostri tibi cura recessit?
Non prius aspicies, ubi fessum aetate parentem
liqueris Anchisen; superet coniunxne Creüsa,
Ascaniusque puer? Quos omnes undique Graiae
circum errant acies, et, ni mea cura resistat,
600iam flammae tulerint inimicus et hauserit ensis.
Non tibi Tyndaridis facies invisa Lacaenae
culpatusve Paris: divom inclementia, divom,
has evertit opes sternitque a culmine Troiam.
Aspicenamque omnem, quae nunc obducta tuenti
605mortalis hebetat visus tibi et umida circum
caligat, nubem eripiam; tu ne qua parentis
iussa time, neu praeceptis parere recusa:—
hic, ubi disiectas moles avolsaque saxis
saxa vides mixtoque undantem pulvere fumum.
610Neptunus muros magnoque emota tridenti
fundamenta quatit, totamque a sedibus urbem
eruit; hic Iuno Scaeas saevissima portas
prima tenet, sociumque furens a navibus agmen
ferro accincta vocat.
615Iam summas arces Tritonia, respice, Pallas
insedit, nimbo effulgens et Gorgone saeva.
Ipse pater Danais animos viresque secundas
sufficit, ipse deos in Dardana suscitat arma.
Eripe, nate, fugam, finemque impone labori.
620Nusquam abero, et tutum patrio te limine sistam.”
Dixerat, et spissis noctis se condidit umbris.
Adparent dirae facies inimicaque Troiae
numina magna deum.
