All mortal deeds; O Juno, who dost know and thus

Canst judge the grievous cares of wedlock; thou whom wild

And shrieking women worship through the dusky streets,

O Hecate; and ye avenging Furies;—ye,

The gods of failing Dido, come and bend your power

To these my woes and hear my prayer. If yonder wretch

Must enter port and reach his land decreed by fate,

If thus the laws of Jove ordain, this order holds:

But, torn in war, a hardy people’s foeman, far

From friends and young Iulus’ arms, may he be forced
