The latter begins thus: Arms and the \| man I \| sing, who \| driven from \| Troy by ill-\| fortune First into \| Italy \| came, as \| far as the \| shores of La-\| vina. Much was he harassed by land, much tossed on the pitiless ocean, All by the force of the gods, and relentless anger of Juno. E. C. B.
