Replica Vênus: “Não mereço tantas honras; / das jovens tírias é costume usar aljava / e alto às pernas ligar purpúreos borzeguins".

"Nay, nay, to no such honour I aspire." / Said Venus, "But a simple maid am I, / and 'tis the manner of the maids of Tyre / to wear, like me, the quiver, and to tie / the purple buskin round the ankles high."

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.

- 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.
