Aeneid 7.81–106

Aen. 7.81At rēx sollicitus mōnstrīs ōrācula Faunī,
fātidicī genitōris, adit lūcōsque sub altā
cōnsulit Albuneā, nemorum quae maxima sacrō
fonte sonat saevamque exhālat opāca mephītim.But the king, troubled by the portents, goes to the oracle of Faunus, his prophetic father, and consults the groves beneath high Albunea, greatest of forests, which echoes with its sacred spring and in its darkness breathes out a deadly vapour. Aen. 7.85Hinc Ītalae gentēs omnisque Oenōtria tellūs
in dubiīs respōnsa petunt;From here the Italian peoples and all the Oenotrian land seek answers in times of doubt; Aen. 7.86hūc dōna sacerdōs
cum tulit et caesārum ovium sub nocte silentī
pellibus incubuit strātīs somnōsque petīvit,
multa modīs simulācra videt volitantia mīrīs
90et variās audit vōcēs fruiturque deōrum
conloquiō atque īmīs Acheronta adfātur Avernīs.when the priestess has brought gifts here and has lain down in the silent night on the spread skins of slaughtered sheep and sought sleep, she sees many phantoms flitting in wondrous ways, and hears various voices, and enjoys converse with the gods, and addresses Acheron in deepest Avernus. Aen. 7.92Hīc et tum pater ipse petēns respōnsa Latīnus
centum lānigerās mactābat rīte bidentīs
atque hārum effultus tergō strātīsque iacēbat
95velleribus: subita ex altō vōx reddita lūcō est:
Nē pete cōnūbiīs nātam sociāre Latīnīs,
Ō mea prōgeniēs, thalamīs neu crēde parātīs:
externī venient generī, quī sanguine nostrum
nōmen in astra ferant quōrumque ā stirpe nepōtēs
100omnia sub pedibus, quā Sōl utrumque recurrēns
aspicit Oceanum, vertīque regīque vidēbunt.Here too then father Latinus himself, seeking an answer, duly sacrificed a hundred woolly sheep, and lay propped on their hides and spread fleeces: suddenly a voice came from the depths of the grove: 'Do not seek to unite your daughter in a Latin marriage, O my offspring, and do not trust the bridal chamber made ready: sons-in-law will come from abroad, who by their blood will raise our name to the stars, and the descendants of whose stock will see the whole world, where the Sun looks on either Ocean in his course, turned and ruled beneath their feet.' Aen. 7.102Haec respōnsa patris Faunī monitūsque silentī
nocte datōs nōn ipse suō premit ōre Latīnus,
sed circum lātē volitāns iam Fāma per urbēs
105Ausoniās tulerat, cum Lāomedontia pūbēs
grāmineō rīpae religāvit ab aggere classem.These answers of his father Faunus, and the warnings given in the silent night, Latinus does not keep shut in his own lips, but Rumour, flitting far and wide, had already carried them through the Ausonian cities, when the sons of Laomedon moored their fleet to the grassy bank of the river.
