If such glories kindle him in nowise, and he take no trouble for his own honour, does a father grudge his Ascanius the towers of Rome? with what device or in what hope loiters he among a hostile race, and casts not a glance on his Ausonian children and the fields of Lavinium? Let him set sail: this is the sum: thereof be thou our messenger. He ended: his son made ready to obey his high command.
Himself, when he saw the pillowed head and fair face of Pallas, and on his smooth breast the gaping wound of the Ausonian spear-head, speaks thus with welling tears: 'Did Fortune in her joyous coming, he cries, 'O luckless boy, grudge thee the sight of our realm, and a triumphal entry to thy father's dwelling?
And do we yet hesitate to give valour scope in deeds, or shrink in fear from setting foot on Ausonian land? Ah, and who is he apart, marked out with sprays of olive, offering sacrifice?
AEtolian Mars had marked us for his prey; Or he who, bursting from the Ausonian fold, In Titus' form the waves of battle rolled; And taught AEma'thia's boastful lord to run So swift that swiftest stags were by his speed outdone.
Nay, but when, their duty done, they shall lie at last in their Ausonian haven, from all that have outgone the waves and borne their Dardanian captain to the fields of Laurentum, will I take their mortal body, and bid them be goddesses of the mighty deep, even as Doto the Nereïd and Galatea, when they cut the sea that falls away from their breasts in foam. He ended; and by his brother's Stygian streams, by the banks of the pitchy black-boiling chasm he nodded confirmation, and shook all Olympus with his nod.
Hence shall spring a race of tempered Ausonian blood, whom thou shalt see outdo men and gods in duty; nor shall any nation so observe thy worship. To this Juno assented, and in gladness withdrew her purpose; meanwhile she quits her cloud, and retires out of the sky. This done, the Father revolves inly another counsel, and prepares to separate Juturna from her brother's arms.
