Aen. 8.81Ecce autem subitum atque oculīs mīrābile mōnstrum;But look, a sudden portent, wonderful to the eyes; Aen. 8.82candida per silvam cum fētū concolor albō
prōcubuit viridīque in lītore cōnspicitur sūs.through the wood, white, of one colour with her white litter, a sow lay stretched and is seen on the green shore. Aen. 8.84Quam pius Aenēās tibi enim, tibi, maxuma Iūnō,
85mactat sacra ferēns et cum grege sistit ad āram.Her dutiful Aeneas sacrifices to you, yes to you, greatest Juno, bearing the sacred offerings, and sets her with her brood at the altar. Aen. 8.86Thybris eā fluvium, quam longa est, nocte tumentem
lēniit, et tacitā refluēns ita substitit undā,
mītis ut in mōrem stagnī placidaeque palūdis
sterneret aequor aquīs, remō ut luctāmen abesset.All that night long the Tiber calmed his swelling stream, and, flowing back with silent wave, so stood still that he levelled the surface of his waters like a gentle pond or a placid marsh, so that there might be no struggle for the oar. Aen. 8.90Ergō iter inceptum celerant rūmōre secundō;So they speed the journey they have begun with cheerful murmurs; Aen. 8.91lābitur ūncta vadīs abiēs;the pitch-smeared fir glides over the waters; Aen. 8.91mīrantur et undae,
mīrātur nemus īnsuētum fulgentia longē
scūta virum fluviō pictāsque innāre carīnās.the waves wonder, and the wood, unused to it, wonders at the shields of men gleaming far off and the painted hulls floating on the river.
Aen. 8.94Ollī rēmigiō noctemque diemque fatīgant
95et longōs superant flexūs variīsque teguntur
arboribus viridīsque secant placidō aequore silvās.They wear out night and day with rowing, and pass the long bends, and are shaded by various trees, and cut through the green woods on the calm surface. Aen. 8.97Sōl medium caelī cōnscenderat igneus orbem,
cum mūrōs arcemque procul ac rāra domōrum
tēcta vident, quae nunc Rōmāna potentia caelō
100aequāvit, tum rēs inopēs Euandrus habēbat:
ōcius advertunt prōrās urbīque propinquant.The fiery sun had climbed to the middle of the sky's circle when they see in the distance walls and a citadel and the scattered roofs of houses, which now Roman power has raised to the sky, but then Evander held, a poor estate: quickly they turn their prows and draw near the city.
