Yet, after all his boasts, forsook the fight,

And sought his safety in ignoble flight.

Now, best of kings, since you propose to send

Such bounteous presents to your Trojan friend;

Add yet a greater at our joint request,

One which he values more than all the rest:

}

{ Give him the fair Lavinia for his bride;

{ With that alliance let the league be tied,

{ And for the bleeding land a lasting peace provide.
