"Hic – tibi fabor enim, quando haec te cura remordet, / longius et volvens fatorum arcana movebo – / bellum ingens geret Italia, populosque feroces / contundet, moresque viris et moenia ponet, / tertia dum Latio regnantem viderit aestas, / ternaque transierint Rutulis hiberna subactis".
"Now, to ease thy woes, / since sorrow for his sake hath dimmed thine eyes, / more will I tell, and hidden fates disclose. / He in Italia long shall battle with his foes, / and crush fierce tribes, and milder ways ordain, / and cities build and wield the Latin sway, / till the third summer shall have seen him reign, / and three long winter-seasons passed away / since fierce Rutulia did his arms obey."
