of the war.
But his bright motherfrom a breaking cloud
To cheer her issuethunder'd thrice aloud;
Thrice forky lightning flash'd along the sky
And Tyrrhene trumpets thrice were heard on high.
Thengazing uprepeated peals they hear;
Andin a heav'n serenerefulgent arms appear:
Redd'ning the skiesand glitt'ring all around
The temper'd metals clashand yield a silver sound.
The rest stood tremblingstruck with awe divine;
Aeneas onlyconscious to the sign
Presag'd th' eventand joyful view'dabove
Th' accomplish'd promise of the Queen of Love.
Thento th' Arcadian king: "This prodigy
(Dismiss your fear) belongs alone to me.
Heav'n calls me to the war: th' expected sign
Is giv'n of promis'd aidand arms divine.
My goddess motherwhose indulgent care
Foresaw the dangers of the growing war
This omen gavewhen bright Vulcanian arms
Fated from force of steel by Stygian charms
Suspendedshone on high: she then foreshow'd
Approaching fightsand fields to float in blood.
Turnus shall dearly pay for faith forsworn;
And corpsand swordsand shieldson Tiber borne
Shall choke his flood: now sound the loud alarms;
AndLatian troopsprepare your perjur'd arms."
