by endurance. Here you have Acestes, the blood of Dardanus
and of gods mingling in his veins—make him the 35
partner of your thoughts, and invite the aid he will gladly
give. Consign to him the crews whom your missing ships
have left homeless, and those who are tired of high emprize
and of following your fortunes—the old, old men,
and the matrons, weary of ocean, and whatever you have
that is weak and timorsome—set these apart, and suffer
them to have in this land a city of rest. The town’s name,
with leave given, they shall call Acesta.” 5
