REVIEW,

XNEIS,

In our Review of the two rival Translations of
this Poem, we promised to proceed from the
opening of the Seventb.Book, which formed the
subject of our last Extract, to the machine of the
Fu y, which has always been regarded 'as consti-
toting its 'must shining putt: and we will intro-
duce it, as it is introduced in the Poem, with the
Soliloquy of Stmo. Our Extract begins at 1.286
of the originiti:---r` Ecce autem huebus 'sese re-
ferebm ab

As she from At4os took her airy flight,
belt id with envious eyes this hateful sight. }
She saw the Trojan and his joyful train
Descend upon the shore; desert the main:
Design a town, and with unhoped success
Embassadors return with promised peace.
Then pierced with pain She shook her haughty bead;
Sighed from her inmost soul; and thus she said:
" 0! hated offspring of my, Phrygian foes!
0 1 fates of Troy, which JuNoVates oppose!
Could they not fall unpitied on the plain;

But slain revive ; and, token, 'seape again?

Thro' fires and swords and seas they forced their way.

Her rage disarm'd, her empire at an end.
Breathless and tired, is all my fury spent ?
Or does my glutted spleen at length relent ?
As if 'twee little (rain their town to chase,

But'billutes rotted, and tempests raged in vain.

When these they overpass, and those they shun?

The Trojan race shall reign in Italy;
