Will be tasked on land; though Latium’s lord
Prepares to hail the offer of thy sword,
Thou’llt wish thyself soon afar! Look! a flood—
Tiber foaming to the sea—of men’s blood.
Horrors Simois, Xanthus showed might seem
Repeated by thy loath fancy in a dream.
Nor even wanting to this war—fell war—
An Achilles, Goddess born; Troy’s ill star,
Queen Juno; and, of worse augury yet
For Trojans, or, of snares that Fate has set
