Behold this city with its gates and mighty walls,
And well-paved streets, where even now the Tyrians
With eager zeal press on their various toil. See there,
Some build the citadel and heave up massive stones
With straining hands; while some a humbler task essay,
And trace the furrow round their future homes. Behold,
Within the harbor others toil, and here thou seest
The deep foundations of the theater, where soon
Shall rise huge columns, stately set, to deck the scene.
Æneas(430-437):
