Meanwhile the kings ride forth: Latinus first,

looming tall-statured from his four-horse car;

twelve rays of gold encircle his bright brow,

sign of the sun-god, his progenitor;

next Turnus, driving snow-white steeds, is seen,—

two bread-tipped javelins in his hand he bears;

Aeneas, of Rome's blood the source and sire,

with star-bright shield and panoply divine,

far-shining comes; Ascanius by his side—

of Roman greatness the next hope is he.

To camp they rode, where, garbed in blameless white,

with youngling swine and two-year sheep unshorn,

the priest before the flaming altars drove

his flock and offering: to the rising sun

all eyes are lifted, as with careful hand

the salted meal is scattered, while with knives

they mark each victim's brow, outpouring wine

from shallow bowls, the sacrifice to bless.

Then good Aeneas, his sword drawn, put forth

this votive prayer: “O Sun in heaven; and thou,

Italia, for whom such toils I bear,

be witness of my orison. On thee,

Father omnipotent, I call; on thee,

his Queen Saturnia,—now may she be

more gracious to my prayer! O glorious Mars,

beneath whose godhead and paternity

all wars begin and end, on thee I call;

hail, all ye river-gods and haunted springs;

hail, whatsoever gods have seat of awe

in yonder distant sky, and ye whose power

is in the keeping of the deep, blue sea:

if victory to Ausonian Turnus fall,

then let my vanquished people take its way

unto Evander's city! From these plains

Iulus shall retire—so stands the bond;

nor shall the Trojans with rebellious sword

bring after-trouble on this land and King.

But if on arms of ours success shall shine,

as I doubt not it shall (may gods on high

their will confirm!), I purpose not to chain

Italian captive unto Teucrian lord,

nor seek I kingly power. Let equal laws

unite in federation without end

the two unconquered nations; both shall share

my worshipped gods. Latinus, as my sire,

shall keep his sword, and as my sire receive

inviolable power. The Teucrians

shall build my stronghold, but our citadel

shall bear forevermore Lavinia's name.”
