your latest offspring, whom in your old age at set of life 15

your spouse Lavinia will bear you in the woods, himself

a king and the father of kings to be: from him it is that

our race shall rule over Alba the Long. Next comes

mighty Procas, the pride of the people of Troy, and

Capys, and Numitor, and a second bearer of your name, 20

Silvius Æneas, himself renowned alike for piety and for

valour, if ever he should come to the throne of Alba.

What glorious youths! look what strength they carry in

their port, while their brows are shaded by the civic oak!
