ABSTRACT
From thence his way the Trojan hero bent, Into a grassy plain with mountains pent, Whose brows were shaded with surrounding wood; Full in the midst o f this fair valley stood
5 A native theatre, which rising slow B y just degrees, o’erlooked the ground below. A numerous train attend in solemn state; High on the new-raised turf their leader sate. Here those who in the rapid race delight
10 Desire o f honour and the prize invite; The Trojans and Sicilians mingled stand With Nisus and Euryalus, the foremost o f the band: Euryalus with youth and beauty crowned, Nisus for friendship to the boy renowned.
