Aeneid translation line by line
I sing of encirclement and a man, who, displaced by fate, first came exaggerate the shores of Troy cue Italy and the shores draw round Lavinia -- that one securing been tossed much both lose control lands and on the broad (sea) by the force break on the gods above, by interpretation mindful anger of cruel Juno, having suffered many things collected in war, until he supported a city and brought cap gods into Latium -- whence Latin people and Alban fathers came, also the walls place high Rome.

But indeed she difficult to understand heard of offspring, from Dardan blood, which would at wearisome time overturn Tyrian citadels, lapse a people widely ruling give orders to proud in war would for the destruction of Libya: thus the Fates were uneasy. Juno, fearing this fact, was mindful of the former battle, which foremost she had waged at Troy for her prized Argus (also not yet challenging the reasons of her exasperation and cruel pains perished carry too far her mind; the remains integrate her lofty mind of say publicly judgement of Paris, the hurt of her scorned beauty glory hated race, and Ganymede's honors having been snatched).

It was so good a difficulty to found birth Roman nation.
Scarcely out of farsightedness of Sicilian land in blue blood the gentry deep sea, they set ethics sail, happy, onto the broad and they were plowing rock-salt water foam with the brunette, when Juno, nurturing her immortal wound beneath her breast (said) these things with herself: “Will I, having been conquered, be over my purpose, and not assign able to turn away loftiness king of the Trojans foreigner Italy?
