SECTION A: Verse Literature


QUESTION ONE



Virgil, Aeneid II. 21-39

est in conspectu Tenedos, notissima fama insula, dives opum Priami dum regna manebant, nunc tantum sinus et statio male fida carinis: huc se provecti deserto in litore condunt;
nos abiisse rati et vento petiisse Mycenas. 25 ergo omnis longo solvit se Teucria luctu;
panduntur portae; iuvat ire et Dorica castra desertosque videre locos litusque relictum:
hic Dolopum manus, hic saevus tendebat Achilles; classibus hic locus, hic acie certare solebant. 30 pars stupet innuptae donum exitiale Minervae
et molem mirantur equi; primusque Thymoetes duci intra muros hortatur et arce locari,
sive dolo seu iam Troiae sic fata ferebant.

at Capys, et quorum melior sententia menti, 35 aut pelago Danaüm insidias suspectaque dona
praecipitare iubent subiectisque urere flammis, aut terebrare cavas uteri et temptare latebras. scinditur incertum studia in contraria vulgus.
