Then thus the founder of mankind replies:—

(Unruffled was his front, serene his eyes,)

"Can Saturn's issue, and heaven's other heir,

Such endless anger in her bosom bear?

Be mistress, and your full desires obtain;

But quench the choler you foment in vain.

From ancient blood, the Ausonian people, sprung,

Shall keep their name, their habit, and their tongue:

}

{ The Trojans to their customs shall be tied.
