All these images on Vulcan's shield
His mother's gift, were wonders to Aeneas
Knowing nothing of the events themselves
He felt joy in their pictures, taking up
Upon his shoulder all the destined acts
And fame of his descendants.
Talia per clipeum Volcani, dona parentis,
Miratur rerumque ignarus imagine gaudet
Attollens umero famamque et fata nepotum.
