"He was sir, | when this was the case, the king of Latium Latin, | A king who watched and placid for a long time | He had administered his kingdom in peace. | He was born of Faun and Marica | nymph of Laürento, and Faun at Pico | he was son, and Pico to thee, Saturn, | of his royal legging, the last author. | This king had no manly race, | what his destiny was like; and the one who had | In the flower of his green years he was ancisa. | Alone of such a blood, of such a kingdom | there remained one of his only daughters as heirs, [Lavinia] | that already matures in years, and in beauty | more than any other famous, it was by many | heroes of Lazio and Ausonia as a whole | desire and research. | Ahead of the Others | [Lavinia] asked Turn, a young man, the most handsome, | the mightiest and clearest lineage | than the others all; and more than to others, to him, | nay, to him alone his queen mother | With wondrous affection she bowed. (Book VII)"
