Certainly is this the god which guides you, you are driven by the uneven winds

And you waste such a long time in the rapid straight?

It would scarcely be expected that you would expend so much work to return to troy itself

If it were still the city it was when Hector lived.

You do not seek the Simoenta of your fathers, but the Tiber's waves --

It is certain that when you will arrive, something you long for, you will be a stranger;

The land escapes notice and thus hidden evades your keels,

Scarcely will this sought for land touch you as an old man.

without roundaboutness, ably accept this people as a dowry

and the imported gifts of Pygmalion

Happily transfer Troy into the Tyrian city

Hold both the affairs of the kingdom and the sacred scepters in this place.

If to you the mind is greedy of war, if Ascanius seeks,

From whence a triumph would procede because of his own prowess,
