Stout for the war, and studious of their trade: Involv'd his anxious life in endless cares,Д¬an heav'nly minds such high resentment show, What goddess was provok'd, and whence her hate ДЇor what offense the Queen of Heav'n began O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine,ДЇrom whence the race of Alban fathers come, The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore, After the feast Iopas sings the wonders of the firmament, and Dido, bewitched by Cupid, begs Г†neas to tell the whole story of his adventures (775-891).ДЄrms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate,Д®xpell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore. Cupid, persuaded by Venus to personate Ascanius and inspire Dido with love for Г†neas, comes with the gifts to Dido's palace, while Ascanius is carried away to Idalia. Г†neas sends Achates to summon his son and bring gifts for Dido (724-774). Dido welcomes Г†neas to Carthage and prepares a festival in his honour. Г†neas appears thanks Dido, and greets Ilioneus (662-723). Dido speaks him fair and echoes his words, 'If Г†neas were here!' The mist scatters. Ilioneus, their spokesman, tells the story of the storm and asks help. To her enter, as suppliants, Trojan leaders, whom Г†neas had imagined dead.

They reach the citadel unobserved, and are encouraged on seeing pictures of scenes from the Trojan war (479-576). Hidden in a magic mist, the pair approach Carthage, which they find still building. Venus changes before their eyes from nymph to goddess, and vanishes before Г†neas can utter his reproaches. Let him but persist, all will be well (352-478). Г†neas in reply bewails his own troubles, but is interrupted with promises of success. Г†neas and Achates, while reconnoitring, meet Venus in the forest disguised as a nymph. Mercury is sent to secure from Dido, Queen of Libya, a welcome for Г†neas. Juno shall eventually relent, and Rome under Augustus shall be empress of the world (262-351). His son shall found Alba and his son's sons Rome. Venus appeals to Jupiter, who comforts her with assurance that Г†neas shall yet be great in Italy. Г†neas escapes, lands in Libya, and heartens his men (190-261). One Trojan ship is already lost, when Neptune learns the plot and lays the storm (127-189). Descrying him and his Trojans in sight of Italy, she bribes Г†olus to raise a storm for their destruction (46-99).
