VERGILI AENEIS II. 31<br />
Nunc tantulll sinus et statio male fida carinis :<br />
Huc se provecti <strong>de</strong>serto in Jitore condunt.<br />
Nos abiisse rati et vento petiisse Mycenas. 25<br />
Ergo omnis longo solvit se Teucria luctu.<br />
Panduntur portae; juvnt ire et Dorica cash'a<br />
Desertosque vi<strong>de</strong>re locos litusque relictum.<br />
'Hic Dolopum manus, hic sacvus ten<strong>de</strong>bat Achilles,<br />
Classibus hic locus, bic acie cOl'tare solebant.' 30<br />
