Olli subridens hominum sator atque deorumvultu, quo caelum tempestatesque serenat,
 oscula libavit natae, dehinc talia fatur;
 "parce metu, Cytherea, manent immota tuorum
 fata tibi; cernes urbem et promissa Lavini                             5
 moenia, sublimemque feres ad sidera caeli
 magnanimum Aenean; neque me sententia vertit.
 hic tibi (fabor enim, quando haec te cura remordet,
 longius et volvens fatorum arcana movebo)
 bellum ingens geret Italia populosque ferocis                       10
 contundent moresque viris et moenia ponet,
 tertia dum Latio regnantem viderit aetas
 ternaque transierint Rutulis hiberna subactis."
