- But she had heard that an offspring, led by Trojan blood, would one day overturn the Tyrian citadels; from this would come a nation ruling widely and proud in war, for the destruction of Libya: thus the Fates spun out their destiny.
- But she had heard, how men of Trojan seed / those Tyrian towers should level, how again / from these in time a nation should proceed, / wide-ruling, tyrannous in war, the bane / (so Fate was working) of the Libyan reign.
Ela ouvira, porém, dizer que havia / de sair do troiano sangue, um dia, / uma raça que as tírias cidadelas / lançaria por terra; que daquela / semente, um povo com domínio extenso, / e glorioso na guerra, marcharia / para a Líbia arruinar; que tal destino / com roca e fuso as Parcas já fiavam.
