ANTENOR, from the midst of Grecian hosts | |
| Escaped, was able, safe, to penetrate | |
| The Illyrian bay, and see the interior realms | |
| Of the Liburni; and to pass beyond | |
| The source of the Timavus, issuing whence, | 5 |
| With a vast mountain murmur from nine springs, | |
| A bursting flood goes forth, and on the fields | |
| Crowds with resounding waters. Yet he here | |
| Founded the walls of Padua, and built | |
| The Trojan seats, and to the people gave | 10 |
| A name, and there affixed the arms of Troy. | |
| Now, laid at rest, he sleeps in placid peace. | | | | |
