Did I persuade to trust his second Troy

To the raw conduct of a beardless boy,

With walls unfinished, which himself forsakes,

And through the waves a wandering voyage takes?

When have I urged him meanly to demand

The Tuscan aid, and arm a quiet land?

Did I or Iris give this mad advice?

Or made the fool himself the fatal choice?

You think it hard, the Latians should destroy

With swords your Trojans, and with fires your Troy!
