Aeneas (for his father's love could not
permit his mind to rest) now quickly sends
Achates to the Trojan ships, to carry
these tidings to Ascanius, to lead
Aeneas' son up to the walls of Carthage:
all his paternal love and care are for
Ascanius. He also tells Achates
to bring back gifts snatched from the wreck of Troy:
a tunic stiff with images of gold,
and then a veil whose fringes were of saffron
acanthus – these once worn by Argive Helen,
who had borne them off to Troy and her unlawful
wedding when she had fled Mycenae – splendid
gifts of her mother Leda; and besides,
the scepter that had once been carried by
Ilione, eldest of Priam's daughters,
a necklace set with pearls, and then a crown
that had twin circlets set with jewels and gold.
And hurrying to do all he was told,
Achates made his way down to the boats. 

– Aeneas summons Ascanius, from Book I of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
