# Quote — Virgil, The Aeneid

> Fair golden tresses grace the comely train,
>
> And every warrior wears a golden chain.
>
> Embroider'd vests their snowy limbs infold;
>
> And their rich robes are all adorn'd with gold.
>
> Two Alpine spears with martial pride they wield,
>
> And guard their bodies with an ample shield.
