Opis: The Works of John Dryden, Vol. 15 of 18 - Scott Walter

Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden, Vol. 15 of 18: Illustrated With Notes, Historical, Critical, and Explanatory, and a Life of the Author

The war being now begun, both the generals make all possible preparations. Turnus sends to Diomedes. neas goes in person to beg succours from Evander and the Tuscans. Evander receives him kindly, furnishes him with men, and sends his son Pallas with him Vulcan, at the request of Venus, makes arms for her son neas, and draws on his shield the mo$t memorable actions of his posterity.

When Turnus had assembled all his powers,
His standard planted on Laurentum's towers,
When now the sprightly trumpet, from afar,
Had given the signal of approaching war,
Had roused the neighing steeds to scour the fields,
While the fierce riders clattered on their shields,
Trembling with rage, the Latian youth prepare
To join the allies, and headlong rush to war.
Fierce Ufens, and Messapus, led the crowd,
With bold Mezentius, who blasphemed aloud.
