Translation of "Strove" in Portuguese

Thither I drew, and strove with eager hold / a green-leaved sapling from the soil to tear, / to shade with boughs the altars, when behold / a portent, weird to see and wondrous to unfold!

Para adornar com verdes ramos os altares, / aproximo-me e trato de arrancar, / do chão, viçoso arbusto. A um prodígio espantoso / então assisto (mas quem pode acreditar?).

Lá mantinha seu carro e lá sua armadura. / A deusa, desde que Cartago foi fundada, / desejou vê-la soberana das nações / e tudo fez a fim de que o destino / de tal sonho admitisse a concretização.

- He also suffered many things in war, while he strove to found a city, and to bear his gods to Latium: from this place arose the Latin race, the Alban fathers, and the walls of exalted Rome.
- Yea, and more, / in war enduring, ere he built a home, / and his loved household-deities brought o'er / to Latium, whence the Latin people come, / whence rose the Alban sires, and walls of lofty Rome.

Muito sofreu também na guerra que no Lácio / travou para fundar uma cidade, / onde os teucros penates abrigasse, / dali provindo a raça dos latinos, / os reis albanos e a altaneira Roma.
