And, till Æneas shall Lavinia wed,

The wrath of heaven is hovering o'er his head.

{ The gods, he saw, espoused the juster side,

{ When late their titles in the field were tried:

{ Witness the fresh laments, and funeral tears undried.

Thus full of anxious thought, he summons all

The Latian senate to the council-hall.

The princes come, commanded by their head,

And crowd the paths that to the palace lead.
