Aeneid IV, 373-375,381 - Virgil: Nusquam tuta fides. "Nowhere does a person's word mean anything. Ejectum litore, egentem excepi, He was washed up on our shore with nothing, and I welcomed him et regni demens in parte locavi; - fool that I was - and gave him a share of my kingdom; amissam classem, socios a morte reduxi. I saved his scattered fleet and rescued his comrades from death. I, sequere Italiam ventis, Go then, set your course for Italy pete regna per undas. seek your kingdom across the waves." |
