Æneas:
Triumph, my mates, our travels are at end,
Here will Æneas build a statelier Troy,
Here will Æneas build a statelier Troy,
Then that which grim Atrides overthrew:
Carthage shall vaunt her pettie walles no more,
For I will grace them with a fairer frame,
And clad her in a Chrystall liverie,
Wherein the day may evermore delight:
From golden India Ganges will I fetch,
Whose wealthie streames may waite upon her towers,
And triple wise intrench her round about:
The Sunne from Egypt shall rich odors bring,
And clad her in a Chrystall liverie,
Wherein the day may evermore delight:
From golden India Ganges will I fetch,
Whose wealthie streames may waite upon her towers,
And triple wise intrench her round about:
The Sunne from Egypt shall rich odors bring,
Wherewith his burning beames like labouring Bees,
That loade their thighes with Hyblas honeys spoyles,
Shall here unburden their exhaled sweetes,
And plant our pleasant suburbes with her fumes.
That loade their thighes with Hyblas honeys spoyles,
Shall here unburden their exhaled sweetes,
And plant our pleasant suburbes with her fumes.
– Christopher Marlowe, Dido, Queene of Carthage, act V, scene i (1594)
