I wept for Dido's death, who made herselfe away with the sword," he declares, "and even so, the saying that two and two makes foure was an ungrateful song in mine ears; whereas the wooden horse full of armed men, the burning of Troy, and the very Ghost of Creusa, was a most delightful spectacle of vanity."
The three Misses Mason, as they always were called by the Groby Park people, had been christened Diana, Creusa, and Penelope, their mother having a passion for classic literature, which she indulged by a use of Lemprière's dictionary. They were not especially pretty, nor were they especially plain.
The apparition of Creusa. Her predictions. Her farewell to her husband. Preparations for departure. Æneas's company increases. His fleet. The embarkation. Map of the wanderings of Æneas. A dreadful prodigy. The bleeding myrtle. Words of the myrtle. Story of Polydorus. Æneas leaves Thrace. His various wanderings. The attempted settlement at Crete. Calamities. Æneas's perplexity. Advice of Anchises.
But lo! as he called, the image of her whom he sought seemed to stand before him, only greater than she had been while she was yet alive. And the spirit spake, saying, "Why art thou vainly troubled?

And when they had made an end of seeing these things came the Queen Creüsa herself and had speech with Ion.
