[Identical] urbs antiqua fuit (Tyrii tenuere coloni)
Karthago, Italiam contra Tiberinaque longe
ostia, dives opum studiisque asperrima belli,
quam luno fertur terris magis omnibus unam
posthabita coluisse Samo,

There was an ancient city (Tyrian settlers possessed it)
Carthage, facing Italy and the mouth of the Tiber far away
rich in resources and very fierce in war's activities, which
alone juno is said to have cared for more than all other lands
since she esteemed Samos less.

[Identical] hoc illius arma,
hic curris fuit; hoc regnum dea gentibus esse.
si qua fata sinant, iam tum tenditque fovetque.,

Here was her armour, here was her chariot; even then the goddess both aimed and cherished (the aim) that this (city) should be the kingdom of
(all) races, if the fates allowed it in any way

[Identical] progeniem sed enim Troiano a sanguine duci
audierat Tyrias olim quae verteret arces;
hinc populum late regem belloque superbum
venturum excidio Libyae; sic volvere Parcas,

But in fact, she had heard that offspring was being produced from Trojan
blood to overthrow the Tyrian citadels some day. from this a
race would come ruling far and wide and arrogant in war to
destroy Libya; thus, the fates were bringing to pass.

[Identical] id metuens veterisque memor Saturnia belli,
prima quod ad Troiam pro caris gesserat Argis -
necdum etiam causae irarum saevique dolores
exciderant animo;,

The daughter of Saturn, fearing this, and mindful of the old
war, which she had previously waged near Troy on behalf of
her beloved Greeks - for even now the causes of her
(outbursts of) anger and her savage pains had not yet
disappeared from her mind;

[Identical] manet alta mente repostum
iudicium Paridis spretaeque iniuria formae
et genus invisum et rapti Ganymedis honores,

the judgement of Paris and the insult done to her spurned beauty and the hated race and the honours given to the snatched Ganymede remained buried deep in her mind:

[Identical] his accensa super jactatos aequore toto
Troas, reliquias Danaum atque immitis Achilli,
arcebat longe Latio, multosque per annos
errabant acti fatis maria omnia circum.,

fired by these (injustices) as well, she kept
the Trojans tossed about over
the whole sea, the remnants
left by the Greeks and savage
Achilles, far from Latium, and
for many years they wandered
driven by the fates around all
the seas.

[Identical] tantae molis erat Romanam condere gentem.,

It involved such great
difficulty to found the Roman
race.

[Identical] vix e conspectu Siculae telluris in altum
vela dabant laeti et spumas salis aere ruebant.,

Scarcely out of sight of the land of Sicily, (the Trojans) were
happily sailing into the high sea and churning up the foam of
the salt sea with their bronze (prows)

haec secum:,

when Juno, retaining
the everlasting wound beneath her breast, (said) these
(words) within herself:

[Identical] ‘mene incepto desistere victam nec posse Italia Teucrorum avertere regem!,

up my purpose, and not be able to divert the king of the
Trojans from Italy!

Argivum atque ipsos potuit submergere ponto
unius ob noxam et furias Aiacis Oilei?,

Was Pallas able to burn up the fleet of the Greeks and drown
(the Greeks) themselves in the sea because of one man's
offence and the madness of Ajax, son of Oileus?

[Identical] ipsa lovis rapidum iaculata e nubibus ignem
disiecitque rates evertitque aequora ventis,
illum expirantem transfixo pectore flammas turbine corripuit scopuloque infixit acuto;,

(She) herself,
hurling the swift fire of Jupiter from the clouds both scattered
the ships and upturned the seas with the winds, (while) him,
as he breathed forth flame from his pierced breast, she
snatched up in a whirlwind and impaled on a sharp rock.

[Identical] ast ego, quae divum incedo regina lovisque
et soror et coniunx, una cum gente tot annos
bella gero.,

But I, who (grandly) walk as queen of the gods, and both sister
and wife of Jupiter, have been waging wars for so many years
with one race.

[Identical] et quisquam numen lunonis adorat
practerea aut supplex aris imponet honorem?',

And does anyone worship the divine power of
Juno any more or in supplication will (anyone) place an

nimborum in patriam, loca feta furentibus Austris
Aeoliam venit.,

The goddess, turning over such (thoughts) with herself in her
inflamed heart, came to the land of the clouds, Aeolia, an
area teeming with raging south winds

luctantes ventos tempestatesque sonoras
imperio premit ac vinclis et carcere frenat.,

Here, King Aeolus by
means of his power confines the struggling winds and
sounding storms within a huge cave and curbs them with

circum claustra fremunt; celsa sedet Acolus arce
sceptra tenens mollique animos et temperat iras.,

They, indignant, roar around the prison
bars accompanied by the mighty murmur of the mountain;
Aeolus sits in the lofty citadel, holding the sceptre, soothes
their feelings and restrains their outbursts of anger.

[Identical] ni faciat, maria ac terras caelumque profundum
quippe ferant rapidi secum verrantque per auras;,

If he did not do (this), they would doubtless carry hurriedly
away with them seas, lands and the high heaven and sweep
them through the breezes;

[Identical] sed pater omnipotens speluncis abdidit atris
hoc metuens molemque et montes insuper altos
imposuit, regemque dedit qui foedere certo
et premere et laxas sciret dare iussus habenas.,

but the all-powerful father, fearing
this, hid (them) in dark caverns, placed a mass of high

[Identical] ad quem tum luno supplex his vocibus usa est:,

To him, then, Juno in
supplication used these words:

[Identical] Aeole (namque tibi divum pater atque hominum rex
et mulcere dedit fluctus et tollere vento),,

Aeolus (for to you the father of the gods and king of men has

Ilium in Italiam portans victosque penates:,

and its defeated household gods to italy:

[Identical] omnes ut tecum meritis pro talibus annos
exigat et pulchra faciat te prole parentem.',

so that, in return for such services, she might spend all
her years with you and make you a parent with a beautiful
offspring.'

[Identical] Aeolus haec contra: 'tuus, o regina, quid optes
explorare labor; (mihi iussa capessere fas est.,

In answer to this Aeolus (said): 'O queen, (it is) your task to
search out what you desire; for me, it is right to carry out your
orders

concilias, tu das epulis accumbere divum nimborumque facis tempestatumque potentem.',

Struck the Hollow Mountain on the side

[Identical] ac venti velut agmine facto,
qua data porta, ruunt et terras turbine perflant. ,

they had formed an (army) column, rush wherever passage
had been given and blow through the lands with a whirlwind.

Africus, et vastos volvunt ad litora fluctus.,

[Identical] eripiunt subito nubes caelumque diemque
Teucrorum ex oculis; ponto nox incubat atra;,

talia voce refert: ,

non potuisse taque animam hanc effundere dextra,,

the descendant of Aeacus, where mighty Sarpedon (lies),

[Identical] ubi tot Simois correpta sub undis
scuta virum galeasque et fortia corpora volvit!',

While he was shouting such (words), a storm, whistling with
the North wind, struck the sail full in front, and raised the
waves to the stars.

The oars were broken, then the prow
turned away and offered the side to the waves;a sheer mountain of water followed in a mass.

in brevia et syrtes urget, miserabile visu,
inliditque vadis atque aggere cingit harenae.,

The south wind, having snatched three (ships) hurled them onto hidden rocks (rocks in the middle of the waves which the Italians call the Alters, a huge ridge on top of the sea), three the east wind pushed from the high seas onto shoals and sandbanks, wretched to behold, dashed them onto the shallows and surrounded them with a mound of sand.

ipsius ante oculus ingens a vertice pontus in puppim ferit: ,

The huge sea, (falling) from its highest point, struck one (ship) on the stern, which was carrying the Lycians and faithful Orontes, before the very eyes (of Aeneas):

torquet agens circum et rapidus vorat acquote Vertex.,

Far apart (men) become visible swimming in the immense whirlpool, (along with) the arms of men, planks, and Trojan treasure throughout the waves.

Vicit hiems; ,

Now the storm overcame Illoneus’ strong ship, now brave Achates’, and both (the ships) in which Abas was carried and the one in which Aletes, advanced in years;
