Now, to ease thy woes, Since sorrow for his sake hath dimmed thine eyes, More will I tell, and hidden fates disclose.
He in Italia long shall battle with his foes, XXXV.

"And crush fierce tribes, and milder ways ordain, And cities build and wield the Latin sway, Till the third summer shall have seen him reign, And three long winter-seasons passed away Since fierce Rutulia did his arms obey.
Then, too, the boy Ascanius, named of late Iulus--Ilus was he in the day When firm by royalty stood Ilium's state-- Shall rule till thirty years complete the destined date.
XXXVI.

"He from Lavinium shall remove his seat, And gird Long Alba for defence; and there 'Neath Hector's kin three hundred years complete The kingdom shall endure, till Ilia fair, Queen-priestess, twins by Mars' embrace shall bear.
Then Romulus the nation's charge shall claim, Wolf-nursed and proud her tawny hide to wear, And build a city of Mavortian fame, And make the Roman race remembered by his name.
XXXVII.

"To these no period nor appointed date, Nor bounds to their dominion I assign; An endless empire shall the race await.
Nay, Juno, too, who now, in mood malign, Earth, sea and sky is harrying, shall incline To better counsels, and unite with me To cherish and uphold the imperial line, The Romans, rulers of the land and sea, Lords of the flowing gown.

So standeth my decree.
XXXVIII.
