Aeneid lines 12-33

there was an ancient city

urbs antiqua fuit,

Tyrian settlers held it

Tyrii tenuere coloni,

Carthage

Karthago,

opposite Italy

Italiam contra

and the far-off mouth of the Tiber

Tiberinaque longe ostia,

rich in wealth

dives opum

and most fierce in the pursuits of war

studiisque asperrima belli;

which Juno is said to have cherished more than all lands

quam Iuno fertur terris magis omnibus unam

with Samos put second

posthabita Samo

here were her weapons

hic illius arma,

here was her chariot

hic currus fuit;

even then the goddess both promoted and cherished

dea … iam tum tenditque fovetque

that this be the ruling power for the nations

hoc regnum … gentibus esse,

if somehow the fates allow

si qua fata sinant,

that a breed was being established from Trojan blood

progeniem sed enim Troiano a sanguine duci

she had heard

audierat

which one day was to overturn the Tyrian citadels

Tyrias olim quae verteret arces;

from this would come a nation wide-ruling and proud in war

hinc populum … venturum

coming for the destruction of Libya

excidio Libyae:

thus were the Fates unrolling

sic volvere Parcas.

fearing this

id metuens,

and mindful of the old war

veterisque memor Saturnia belli,

which she had waged first at Troy for the sake of her beloved Argos

prima quod ad Troiam pro caris gesserat Argis

nor yet still

necdum etiam

the causes of her anger and savage pains

causae irarum saevique dolores

had fallen from her soul

exciderant animo:

there remains deep in her mind stored up

manet alta mente repostum

the judgement of Paris

iudicium Paridis

and the outrage of her beauty spurned

spretaeque iniuria formae,

and the hated race

et genus invisum,

and the honours for the stolen Ganymede

et rapti Ganymedis honores.

inflamed by these things as well

his accensa super,

after they had been tossed across the whole ocean

iactatos aequore toto

the Trojans, the leftovers of the Greeks

Troas, reliquias Danaum

and of ruthless Achilles

atque immitis Achilli,

kept far from Latium

arcebat longe Latio

and throughout many years they were wandering

multosque per annos errabant

driven by the Fates

acti Fatis

around all the seas

maria omnia circum.

such a great difficulty it was

tantae molis erat

to found the Roman race

Romanam condere gentem!
