Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Aeneid, II: A Translation
Cruel to be told, 0 queen, is the grief thou biddest me renew, how the Danai overthrew the Trojan might and woeful empire, and the sad events of which I myself was a witness, in which I had no small share. Who of the Myrmidones or the Dolopes, what soldier of the stern Ulysses, could restrain his tears as I told such a tale? And already dark night is hurrying down the sky, and the setting stars invite to sleep. But if thou hast so great a longing to learn our calamities, and to hear brie?y told the dying struggle of Troy, though my heart shudders and shrinks with grief from recalling those things to mind, yet will I attempt it.
