To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Look how they bloom in youth's fresh flower I What promise theirs of martial power I Mark you the civic wreath they wear, The oaken garland in their hair?
These, these are they, whose hands shall crown The mountain heights with many a town, Shall Gabii and Nomentum rear, There plant Collatia, Cora here, And leave to after years their stamp On Bola and on Inuus' camp : Names that shall then be far renowned, Now nameless spots of unknown ground.
There to his grandsire*s fortune clings Young Romul...us, of Mars' true breed ; From Ilia*s womb the warrior springs, Assaracus* authentic seed.
See on his helm the double crest, The token by his sire impressed, That marks him out betimes to share The heritage of upper air.
Lo ! by his fiat called to birth Imperial Rome shall rise, Extend her reign to utmost earth, Her genius to the skies, And with a wall of girdling stone Embrace seven hills herself alone — Blest in an offspring wise and strong : So through great cities rides along The mighty Mother, crowned with towers Around her knees a numerous line, A hundred grandsons, all divine, All tenants of Olympian bowers.
