Need I mention, how Cnidus, and Colophon, and Samos, most noble cities, and others too in countless numbers, were taken by them, when you know that your own harbours, and those harbours too from which you derive, as it were, your very life and breath, were in the power of the pirates? Are you ignorant that the harbour of Caieta, that illustrious harbour, when full of ships, was plundered by the pirates under the very eyes of the praetor? and that from Misenum, the children of the very man who had before that waged war against the pirates in that place, were carried off by the pirates? For why should I complain of the disaster of Ostia, and of that stain and blot on the republic, when almost under your very eyes, that fleet which was under the command of a Roman consul was taken and des

t consequence in an ancient family, as appears in the tragedians. Comp. 5. 645. The town and promontory of Caieta were on the confines of Latium and Campania, near Formiae; and at Formiae, according to Livy 40. 2, there was a temple of Apollo and Caieta. For the legend and etymology of the name see Heyne, Exc. 1, Lewis vol. 1. pp. 326 foll. Litoribus nostris is a vague or exaggerated expression. Caieta may be said to have conferred fame on a single spot on the Italian coast: the coast itself rat the legend and etymology of the name see Heyne, Exc. 1, Lewis vol. 1. pp. 326 foll. Litoribus nostris is a vague or exaggerated expression. Caieta may be said to have conferred fame on a single spot on the Italian coast: the coast itself rather conferred fame on her. The poet speaks in his own person, as in 9. 446, though the feeling here is more national than personal. Aeneia nutrix like Aeneia puppis 10. 156, Aeneia hospitia ib. 494, Tithonia coniunx 8. 384.

And thy renown still broods over thy resting-place. Sedem like sedibus 6. 328. Servat seems to include the notions of haunting (G. 4. 459), guarding (6. 575), observing and preserving in memory. Perhaps the last is the most prominent in the parallel 6. 507, Nomen et arma locum servant. Ov. M. 14. 443 gives Caieta's epitaph.

Proxuma after leaving Caieta. Raduntur by the ships in passing, 3. 700. Circaeae terrae, Circeii; which, being on the mainland, is identified with Homer's island of Circe (Od. 10. 135 foll.) by supposing that the island had become joined to the mainland, by alluvial deposits or, as Varro ap. Serv. says, by the draining of marshes. Comp. Theophrast. Hist. Plant. 5. 9, Pliny 3. 5. 9 (quoted by Heyne). Virg. himself calls it Aeaeae insula Circae, 3. 386, where Helenus predicts that Aeneas should vthe shore, where the flat land of the marshes sinks below the horizon. For the legends which connected Ulysses with this part of Italy see Lewis pp. 327 foll. Telegonus, son of Ulysses and Circe, is the mythical founder of Tusculum. The very name Caieta was said by some to have been originally *ai)h/th (comp. Caulon, Aulon, note on 3. 553), a name associated by Lycophron, v. 1273, with the mooring of the Argo there, but more probably having to do with the Aeaean Circe, the sister of Aeetes of Co

Two gates the silent house of Sleep adorn; Of polish'd ivory this, that of transparent horn: True visions thro' transparent horn arise; Thro' polish'd ivory pass deluding lies. Of various things discoursing as he pass'd, Anchises hither bends his steps at last. Then, thro' the gate of iv'ry, he dismiss'd His valiant offspring and divining guest. Straight to the ships Aeneas his way, Embark'd his men, and skimm'd along the sea, Still coasting, till he gain'd Caieta's bay. At length on oozy ground his galleys moor; Their heads are turn'd to sea, their sterns to shore.

Now Sleep has portals twain, whereof the one Is horn, they say, and easy exit gives To visions true; the other, gleaming white With polished ivory, the.dead employ To people night with unsubstantial dreams. Here now Anchises bids his son farewell; And with Sibylla, his companion sage, Up through that ivory portal lets him rise. Back to his fleet and his dear comrades all Aeneas hastes.Then hold they their straight course Into Caieta's bay. An anchor holds Each lofty prow; the sterns stand firm on shore.

One more immortal name thy death bequeathed, Nurse of Aeneas, to Italian shores, Caieta; there thy honor hath a home; Thy bones a name: and on Hesperia's breast Their proper glory.

This was the end of Macars tale. And ere long tyme was gone, Aenaeas Nurce was buryed in a tumb of marble stone, And this short verse was set theron: In this same verry place My Nurcechyld whom the world dooth know to bee a chyld of grace Delivering mee, Caieta, quicke from burning by the Grayes, Hathe burnt mee dead with such a fyre as justly winnes him prayse. Theyr Cables from the grassye strond were loosde, and by and by From Circes slaunderous house and from her treasons farre they fly. And making to the thickgrowen groves where through the yellow dust The shady Tyber into sea his gusshing streame dooth thrust, Aenaeas got the Realme of king Latinus, Fawnus sonne, And eeke his daughter, whom in feyght by force of armes he wonne. He enterprysed warre ageinst a Nation feerce and strong. And Turne was wrothe for holding of his wyfe away by wrong. Ageinst the Shyre of Latium met all Tyrrhene, and long With busye care hawlt victorie by force of armes was sought. Eche partie t
