Aen. 3.320Dēiēcit vultum et dēmissā vōce locūta est:
Ō fēlīx ūna ante aliās Priamēïa virgō,
hostīlem ad tumulum Troiae sub moenibus altīs
iussa morī, quae sortītus nōn pertulit ūllōs,
nec victōris erī tetigit captīva cubīle!She lowered her face and spoke in a low voice: 'O happy beyond all others, that maiden daughter of Priam, ordered to die at an enemy's tomb beneath the high walls of Troy, who did not endure any casting of lots, nor as a captive touched the bed of a conquering master! Aen. 3.325nōs, patriā incēnsā, dīversa per aequora vectae,
stirpis Achillēae fastūs iuvenemque superbum,
servitiō ēnīxae, tulimus: quī deinde, secūtus
Lēdaeam Hermionēn Lacedaemoniōsque hymenaeōs,
mē famulō famulamque Helenō trānsmīsit habendam.We, our homeland burnt, carried over far-scattered seas, endured the arrogance of Achilles' offspring and his proud youth, bearing children in slavery: he afterwards, pursuing Hermione, Leda's granddaughter, and a Spartan marriage, handed me over, a slave, to his slave Helenus to keep. Aen. 3.330Ast illum, ēreptae magnō īnflammātus amōre
coniugis et scelerum Furiīs agitātus, Orestēs
excipit incautum patriāsque obtruncat ad ārās.But Orestes, inflamed with great love for the bride snatched from him and driven by the Furies of his crimes, catches him off guard and cuts him down at his father's altars.
Aen. 3.333Morte Neoptolemī regnōrum reddita cessit
pars Helenō, quī Chaoniōs cognōmine campōs
335Chaoniamque omnem Trōiānō ā Chaone dīxit,
Pergamaque Īliacamque iugīs hanc addidit arcem.At the death of Neoptolemus a part of the kingdom passed to Helenus, who named the plains Chaonian and the whole land Chaonia after Trojan Chaon, and set on the ridges a Pergamum and this Ilian citadel. Aen. 3.337Sed tibi quī cursum ventī, quae fāta dedēre?But you — what winds, what fates have given you your course? Aen. 3.338Aut quisnam ignārum nostrīs deus adpulit ōrīs?Or what god has driven you, unknowing, to our shores? Aen. 3.339Quid puer Ascanius?What of the boy Ascanius? Aen. 3.339superatne et vēscitur aurā,
340quem tibi iam Troia—
Ecqua tamen puerō est āmissae cūra parentis?Does he survive and feed on the air of life, the boy whom to you, when Troy already — Yet does the boy have any thought for the mother he has lost? Aen. 3.342Ecquid in antīquam virtūtem animōsque virīlīs
et pater Aenēās et avunculus excitat Hector?Do both his father Aeneas and his uncle Hector rouse him at all to ancient courage and manly spirit?' Aen. 3.344Tālia fundēbat lacrimāns longōsque ciēbat
345incassum flētūs, cum sēsē ā moenibus hērōs
Priamidēs multīs Helenus comitantibus adfert,
adgnōscitque suōs, laetusque ad līmina dūcit,
et multum lacrimās verba inter singula fundit.Such words she was pouring out, weeping, and raising long laments in vain, when the hero Helenus, son of Priam, comes from the walls with many attendants, and recognises his own people, and gladly leads them to his threshold, and sheds many tears between each word.
Aen. 3.349Prōcēdō, et parvam Troiam simulātaque magnīs
350Pergama, et ārentem Xanthī cognōmine rīvum
adgnōscō, Scaeaeque amplector līmina portae.I go on, and recognise a little Troy, a Pergamum copying the great one, and a dry stream with the name of Xanthus, and I embrace the threshold of a Scaean gate. Aen. 3.352Nec nōn et Teucrī sociā simul urbe fruuntur:
illōs porticibus rēx accipiēbat in amplīs;The Teucrians too enjoy the friendly city with me: the king was receiving them in his spacious colonnades; Aen. 3.354aulāï mediō lībābant pōcula Bacchī,
355impositīs aurō dapibus, paterāsque tenēbant.in the middle of the hall they were pouring out cups of wine, the feast set out on gold, and held bowls in their hands.
