Arma virumque canō , Trōiae quī prīmus ab ōrīs
Ītaliam , fātō profugus , Lāvīniaque vēnit

multa quoque et bellō passus , dum conderet urbem ,
inferretque deōs Latiō , genus unde Latīnum ,
Albānīque patrēs , atque altae moenia Rōmae

man

he
who
,
exiled
by
fate
,
first came from the coast of Troy to Italy , and to
Lavinian shores – hurled about endlessly by land and sea ,
by the will of the gods , by cruel Juno’s remorseless anger ,
long suffering also in war , until he founded a city
and brought his gods to Latium : from that the Latin people
came , the lords of Alba Longa , the walls of noble Rome .
