1 Now too my mind rests the same; dismiss thy fear.
2 Such violence sits not in our mind, nor is a conquered people so insolent.
3 While Turnus fills the Rutulian minds with valour, Allecto on Stygian wing hastens towards the Trojans.
4 The hero sought his guest Aeneas in the privacy of his dwelling, mindful of their talk and his promised bounty.
5 All are of one mind, to leave the guilty land, and abandoning a polluted home, to let the gales waft our fleets.
6 So speaks she as she kept turning her mind round about, seeking how soonest to break away from the hateful light.
7 Thereon the son of Hyrtacus: 'Hear, O people of Aeneas, with favourable mind, nor regard our years in what we offer.'
8 Of set purpose and willing mind do we draw nigh this thy city, outcasts from a realm once the greatest that the sun looked on as he came from Olympus' utmost border.
9 Straightway he summons his crews and Acestes first of all, and instructs them of Jove's command and his beloved father's precepts, and what is now his fixed mind and purpose.
10 Aeneas, though the charge presses to give a space for burial of his comrades, and his mind is in the tumult of death, began to pay the gods his vows of victory with the breaking of the East.

12 But good Aeneas seeks the fortress where Apollo sits high enthroned, and the lone mystery of the awful Sibyl's cavern depth, over whose mind and soul the prophetic Delian breathes high inspiration and reveals futurity.
13 But Capys and they whose mind was of better counsel, bid us either hurl sheer into the sea the guileful and sinister gift of Greece, or heap flames beneath to consume it, or pierce and explore the hollow hiding-place of its womb.
14 One might descry them shifting their quarters and pouring out of all the town: even as ants, mindful of winter, plunder a great heap of wheat and store it in their house; a black column advances on the plain as they carry home their spoil on a narrow track through the grass.
15 But if they have a mind to try other coasts and another people, and can abide to leave our soil, let us build twice ten ships of Italian oak, or as many more as they can man; timber lies at the water's edge for all; let them assign the number and fashion of the vessels, and we will supply brass, labour, dockyards.
