Id metuēns, veterisque memor Sāturnia bellī,

prīma quod ad Trōiam prō cārīs gesserat Argīs—

necdum etiam causae īrārum saevīque dolōrēs                          25

exciderant animō: manet altā mente repostum

iūdicium Paridis sprētaeque iniūria fōrmae,

et genus invīsum, et raptī Ganymēdis honōrēs.

arcēbat longē Latiō, multōsque per annōs

errābant, āctī Fātīs, maria omnia circum.

Tantae mōlis erat Rōmānam condere gentem!
