But the gods forbid you to take Creusa with you, bound from Troy together. The king of lofty Olympus won’t allow it. A long exile is your fate… the vast plains of the sea are yours to plow until you reach Hesperian land, where Lydian Tiber 970 flows with its smooth march through rich and loamy fields, a land of hardy people. There great joy and a kingdom are yours to claim, and a queen to make your wife.
