Heroic pair [Note 1] and blest! If aught I [Note 2] sing have lasting music, no remotest age shall blot your names from honor's storied scroll: not while the altars of Aeneas' line shall crown the Capitol's unshaken hill, nor while the Roman Father's hand sustains its empire o'er the world. Note 1: pair = Nisus and Euryalis Event: Sortie of Nisus and Euryalis |
446-449 Fortunati ambo! si quid mea carmina possunt, nulla dies umquam memori uos eximet aeuo, dum domus Aeneae Capitoli immobile saxum accolet imperiumque pater Romanus habebit. |
