Forte die sollemnem illo rex Arcas honorem
Amphitryoniadae magno divisque ferebat
ante urbem in luco. Pallas huic filius una,
105una omnes iuvenum primi pauperque senatus
tura dabant, tepidusque cruor fumabat ad aras.
Ut celsas videre rates atque inter opacum
adlabi nemus et tacitis incumbere remis,
terrentur visu subito cunctique relictis
110consurgunt mensis. Audax quos rumpere Pallas
sacra vetat raptoque volat telo obvius ipse
et procul e tumulo: “Iuvenes, quae causa subegit
ignotas temptare vias, quo tenditis?” inquit.
“Qui genus? Unde domo? Pacemne huc fertis an arma?”
115Tum pater Aeneas puppi sic fatur ab alta
paciferaeque manu ramum praetendit olivae:
“Troiugenas ac tela vides inimica Latinis,
quos illi bello profugos egere superbo.
Euandrum petimus. Ferte haec et dicite lectos
120Dardaniae venisse duces socia arma rogantis.”
Obstipuit tanto percussus nomine Pallas:
“Egredere o quicumque es” ait “coramque parentem
adloquere ac nostris succede penatibus hospes.”
excepitque manu dextramque amplexus inhaesit.
125Progressi subeunt luco fluviumque relinquunt.
