AN

ESSAY

ON THE

ÆNEID

BEING A

Translation of the First Book.

RMS and the Man I sing, the first who bore
His Course to Latium, from the Trojan Shore;
By Fate expell’d, on Land and Ocean tost;
Before he reach’d the fair Lavinian Coast.
Doom’d by the Gods a Length of Wars to wage,5
And urg’d by Juno’s unrelenting Rage;
