Excerpt from The Aeneid of Virgil: Translated Into English Blank Verse In translation of the great Roman epic here offered to the public, I have endeavored to fulfil two necessary requirements: first, to render the original Latin as literally and concisely into pure idiomatic English as could be consistent with strict metrical form; and, secondly, to make it, as ably as I could, a poem, retaining somewhat of the spirit of the original. I have made an earnest attempt to do what I believe has not yet been successfully done, - a faithful rendering of the Æneid into fluent, poetic, yet compact and carefully constructed blank verse. All the best poetical translations of it into English, hitherto, have been done chiefly in rhymed couplets; and all, whatever their other merits, have failed more or less in fidelity, for the simple reason that they are rhymed. One need only compare the best known version, Dryden's, with the Latin, to see the lamentable transformations the old Roman bard has suffered (even when piloted by a poet) at the hands of that seductive siren, Rhyme.

With its epic models, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid ranks among the greatest poems, not only of classical antiquity, but of all time. It tells the story of Aeneas, who leads a band of survivors from fallen Troy through wandering and war to found the city that will become imperial Rome. Fully equal to Homer in narrative sweep, dramatic power, and lyric intensity, Virgil's epic outshines its models in the passion and compassion with which its characters, even its hero's formidable opponents, are delineated: Dido, the African queen and femme fatale who would hold him back from his mission; and Turnus, the proud Italian prince he must overcome--ultimately in single combat--to fulfill it. Even the gods above are all too human. A fairy-tale? Of course; but the grandest fairy-tale of western culture, whose later literature it has fundamentally shaped. Not surprisingly, few works have been so often--or so inadequately--translated. It's not just a matter of classical Latin into modern English; in itself, that's not so hard. It's the 'aura' of the great original: its classical flavour, cultural significance, and stately poetic style have never been, perhaps never can be, captured. Yet that is what this translation sets out to do. It begins from our side of the classics, from the western literature the poem has so deeply influenced, and reflects the narrative fluency, dazzling lyricism, and distinctive dignity of Virgil's poem in a fresh and unstilted blank verse resonant with English and American tradition. The result is the most readable version ever. The problems and principles such a project involves are aired in an introduction that illuminates Virgil's great work as never before. Enjoy!

Excerpt from The Aeneid of Virgil: Freely Translated Into English Blank Verse I would ask, however, to be judged on my dealing with the best portions and passages of my author; and a little re ection will, I think, suffice to acquit me of presump tion herein There is no end of passages in Homer, ' writes Cowper, in his Preface to the second edition of his translation of the Iliad, which must creep unless they are lifted; and to give relief to such without seeming unseasonably tumid, is extremely difficult.' And although Virgil has very few indeed of such passages, yet has he occasionally - and this only in common with all fiction writers of antiquity - narratives and details wholly and exclusively belonging to the 'classical age, to which it is impossible, in anything of a faithful rendering, to impart positive interest or attractiveness for a modern who reads them in his own language - omarz' res z'psa negat. The portions, then, of my work on which I would desire to be specially tried are those which purport to render what the classical reader will pronounce to be the best passages and portions of the original; in the other parts of my version I shall be content, as I trust my reader will also be, if I do not sink below the level of ordinary poetical diction and style.
