(1) Both Teucrians and sons of Dardanus are ways of referring to Trojans. (2) Ausonian = southern Italy (3) Just = fair (4) Ilioneus says that the Trojans are not lost. A seamark is similar to a landmark, a feature sailors use to find their way. (5) Ilioneus explains that the Trojans have come by design both on purpose and with help from the gods. (6) Aeneas and Dardanus, the founder of Troy, were both believed to be descendants of Jove, the king of the gods. Latinus called the Teucrians before him, saying Tranquilly as they entered: Sons of Dardanus You see, we know your city and your nation, As all had heard you laid a westward course Tell me your purpose. (1) What design or need Has brought you through the dark blue sea so far To our Ausonian (2) coast? Either astray Or driven by rough weather, such as sailors Often endure at sea, you ve broached the river, Moored ship there. Now do not turn away From hospitality here. Know that our Latins Come of Saturn s race, that we are just (3) Not by constraining or laws, but by our choice And habit of our ancient god Latinus then fell silent, and in turn Ilioneus began: Your majesty, Most noble son of Faunus, no rough seas Or black gale swept us to your coast, no star Or clouded seamark put us off our course. (4) We journey to your city by design And general consent, driven as we are From realms in other days greatest by far The Sun looked down on, passing on his way From heaven s far eastern height. (5) Our line s from Jove, In his paternity the sons of Dardanus Exult, and highest progeny of Jove Include our king himself Trojan Aeneas, Who sent us to your threshold (6)

So long on the vast waters, now we ask A modest settlement of the gods of home, A strip of coast that will bring harm to no one, Air and water, open and free to all Our quest was for your country. Dardanus Had birth here, and Apollo calls us back, Directing us by solemn oracles To Tuscan Tiber (7) Here besides Aeneus gives you from his richer years These modest gifts, relics caught up and saved From burning Troy Latinus heard Ilioneus out, his countenance (8) averted, Sitting immobile, all attention, eyes Downcast but turning here and there. The embroidered Purple and the scepter of King Priam Moved him less in his own kingliness Than long thoughts on the marriage of his daughter, As he turned over in his inmost mind Old Faunus prophecy. This is the man, he thought, foretold as coming from abroad To be my son-in-law, by gate appointed, Called to reign here with equal authority The man whose heirs will be brilliant in valor And win the mastery of the world.
