‘vix tandem, magnis Ithaci clamoribus actus,
composito rumpit vocem et me destinat arae.
adsensere omnes et, quae sibi quisque timebat,
unius in miseri exitium conversa tulere.
iamque dies infanda aderat; mihi sacra parari 5
et salsae fruges et circum tempora vittae.
eripui, fateor, leto me et vincula rupi,
limosoque lacu per noctem obscurus in ulva
delitui dum vela darent, si forte dedissent.
nec mihi iam patriam antiquam spes ulla videndi 10
nec dulces natos exoptatumque parentem,
quos illi fors et poenas ob nostra reposcent
effugia, et culpam hanc miserorum morte piabunt.
quod te per superos et conscia numina veri,
per si qua est quae restet adhuc mortalibus usquam 15
intemerata fides, oro, miserere laborum
tantorum, miserere animi non digna ferentis.’

Virgil, Aeneid II. 128–144


(e) composito … destinat arae (line 2): whose actions are described here? [1]


(f) * adsensere omnes … non digna ferentis (lines 3–17): what makes this such a powerful and

conventum tamen et pactum et sponsalia nostra
tempestate paras iamque a tonsore magistro
pecteris et digito pignus fortasse dedisti?
certe sanus eras. uxorem, Postume, ducis?
dic qua Tisiphone, quibus exagitere colubris. 5
ferre potes dominam salvis tot restibus ullam,
cum pateant altae caligantesque fenestrae,
cum tibi vicinum se praebeat Aemilius pons?
aut si de multis nullus placet exitus, illud
nonne putas melius, quod tecum pusio dormit - 10
pusio, qui noctu non litigat, exigit a te
nulla iacens illic munuscula, nec queritur quod
et lateri parcas nec quantum iussit anheles?
sed placet Ursidio lex Iulia: tollere dulcem
cogitat heredem, cariturus turture magno 15
mullorumque iubis et captatore macello.

Juvenal, Satire 6. 25–40
