The account of several Trojans, and especially Æne'as, having survived the destruction of the city, is as old as the earliest narrative of that famous siege; Homer distinctly asserts it when he makes Neptune declare, Nor thus can Jove resign The future father of the Dardan line: The first great ancestor obtain'd his grace, And still his love descends on all the race.
The powerful stroke was repeated, and propelled them with lightning speed. Now was the exciting race, the regatta of war! The Dardan rowers would have been distanced here. On! on! with the velocity of the wind, over the blue waves, through the snowy surf on!
"Blood, pulse, and breast confirm the Dardan shepherd's prize." The most highly esteemed of all the remains of ancient sculpture is the statue of Apollo, called the Belvedere, from the name of the apartment of the Pope's palace at Rome in which it was placed. The artist is unknown. It is supposed to be a work of Roman art, of about the first century of our era.
"Our prince presents with his request, Some small remains of what his sire possessed; This golden charger, snatched from burning Troy, Anchises did in sacrifice employ; This royal robe and this tiara wore Old Priam, and this golden sceptre bore In full assemblies, and in solemn games; These purple vests were weaved by Dardan dames."
A phantom in AEneas' mould She fashions, wondrous to behold, Of hollow shadowy cloud, Bids it the Dardan arms assume, The shield, the helmet, and the plume, Gives soulless words of swelling tone, And motions like the hero's own, As stately and as proud.
"So stands the statue that enchants the world; So bending tries to veil the matchless boast, The mingled beauties of exulting Greece." Byron also alludes to this statue. Speaking of the Florence Museum, he says: "There too the goddess loves in stone, and fills The air around with beauty;" And in the next stanza, "Blood, pulse, and breast confirm the Dardan shepherd's prize."
Whether it was that the lay of the ground hindered my view towards the sea, or that I was all intent upon Ida, or whether my mind was in vacancy, or whether, as is most like, I had strayed from the Dardan plains all back to gentle England, there is now no knowing, nor caring, but it was not quite suddenly indeed, but rather, as it were, in the swelling and falling of a single wave, that the reality of that very sea-view, which had bounded the sight of the Greeks, now visibly acceded to me, and rolled full in upon my brain.
Juno was Jupiter's Ganymede before the Dardan boy mixed the luscious cup. If you are so devoted to propriety be a Lucretia to your heart's content all day, I want a Lais at night." xi, 105. I will prove to you that you gain more by the boys than your lord: they make your husband keep to one woman. They give what a wife will not give.
