I sing of arms to the man, who first from the shores of Troy came to Italy, Having been exiled by fate, and the Lavinian shores– That guy was tossed much both on land and sea
Talia iactanti stridens Aquilone procella
velum adversa ferit, fluctusque ad sidera tollit.
Franguntur remi; tum prora avertit, et undis / dat latus...

To him tossing around such things, a storm shrieking with north wind strikes the opposite sail,

3) Mūsa, mihī causās memorā, quō nūmine laesō, quidve dolēns, rēgīna deum tot volvere cāsū īnsīgnem pietāte virum, tot adīre labōrēs / impulerit. [laedo—to hurt; impello—to force]

Oh Diomedes the strongest of the race of the Greeks!”“Why was I not able to fall on the Illian fields and pour out this life by your right hand,where fierce Hector lies by the sword of Achilles, where huge Sarpedon lies

Qualis in Eurotae ripis aut per iuga Cynthi exercet Diana choros, quam mille secutae hinc atque hinc glomerantur oreades; illa pharetram / fert umero…
On the bank of Eurotas or through mountain ridges of the Cynthus, Diana trains her chorus–whom the thousand Oreas having followed clumped together here and there.
