Arma virumque cano Troiae qui primus ab oris
Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit
litora multum ille et terris iactatus et alto
vi superum saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram
multa quoque et bello passus dum conderet urbem
inferretque deos Latio genus unde Latinum
Albanique patres atque altae moenia Romae
Musa mihi causas memora quo numine laeso
quidve dolens regina deum tot volvere casus
insignem pietate virum tot adire labores
impulerit Tantaene animis caelestibus irae

I
tell
about
war
and
the
hero
who
first
from
Troy’s
frontier
Displaced by destiny came to the Lavinian shores
To Italy a man travailed on sea and land
By the powers above because of the brooding anger of Juno
Suffering much in war until he could found a city
And march his gods into Latium whence rose the Latin race
The royal line of Alba and the high walls of Rome
Where lay the cause of it all How was her godhead injured
What grievance made the queen of heaven so harry a man
Renowned for piety through such toils such a cycle of calamity
Can a divine being so persevere in anger
