Aeneid

© Virgil

THE ARGUMENT.- Turnus takes advantage of AEneas's absence,
fires some of his ships (which are transformed into sea nymphs),
and assaults his camp. The Trojans, reduc'd to the last extremities,
send Nisus and Euryalus to recall AEneas; which furnishes the
poet with that admirable episode of their friendship, generosity, and
the conclusion of their adventures.

Mr Pryce, if he's there,
Will get into 'the Chair,'

© Judith Wright

and over the white acres of our orchards
hurl their wild summoning cry, their animal cry….
the trains go north with guns.

And still, as memory crowds my brain,
  There’s pleasure in it too.

Far far from gusty waves these children's faces.

Like rootless weeds, the hair torn around their pallor.
