                             "Look now – for I
shall tear away each cloud that cloaks your eyes
and clogs your human seeing, darkening
all things with its damp fog: you must not fear
the orders of your mother; do not doubt, 
but carry out what she commands. For here,
where you see huge blocks ripped apart and stones
torn free from stones and smoke that joins with dust
in surges, Neptune shakes the walls, his giant 
trident is tearing Troy from its foundations;
and here the first to hold the Scaean gates
is fiercest Juno: girt with iron, she
calls furiously to the fleet for more
Greek troops. Now turn and look: Tritonian Pallas
is planted there; upon the tallest towers 
she glares with her storm cloud and her grim Gorgon.
And he who furnishes the Greeks with force
that favors and with spirit is the Father
himself, for he himself goads on the gods
against the Dardan weapons. Son, be quick
to flee, have done with fighting. I shall never 
desert your side until I set you safe 
upon your father's threshold."

– Venus commands Aeneas to flee Troy, from Book II of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
