ARLT Reading Competition Aeneid 2 ausus quin etiam voces iactare per umbram implevi clamore vias, maestusque Creusam nequiquam ingeminans iterumque iterumque vocavi. 770 quaerenti et tectis urbis sine fine ruenti infelix simulacrum atque ipsius umbra Creusae visa mihi ante oculos et nota maior imago. obstipui, steteruntque comae et vox faucibus haesit. tum sic adfari et curas his demere dictis: 775 ‘quid tantum insano iuvat indulgere dolori, o dulcis coniunx? non haec sine numine divum eveniunt; nec te comitem hinc portare Creusam fas, aut ille sinit superi regnator Olympi. longa tibi exsilia et vastum maris aequor arandum, 780 et terram Hesperiam venies, ubi Lydius arva inter opima virum leni fluit agmine Thybris. illic res laetae regnumque et regia coniunx parta tibi; lacrimas dilectae pelle Creusae. non ego Myrmidonum sedes Dolopumve superbas 785 aspiciam aut Grais servitum matribus ibo, Dardanis et divae Veneris nurus; sed me magna deum genetrix his detinet oris. iamque vale et nati serva communis amorem.’ haec ubi dicta dedit, lacrimantem et multa volentem 790 dicere deseruit, tenuesque recessit in auras.
