Of his own filial love, a sadly pleasing thought,)

Then stretched his hand to hold him up, and said:—

"Poor hapless youth! what praises can be paid

To love so great, to such transcendent store

Of early worth, and sure presage of more?

Accept whate'er Æneas can afford;

Untouched thy arms, untaken be thy sword;

And all that pleased the living, still remain

Inviolate, and sacred to the slain.
