Sum pius Aeneas, raptos qui ex hoste Penates classe veho mecum, fama super aethera notus. Italiam quaero patriam et genus ab Iove summo.
— The good Aeneas am I call'd, a name,
While Fortune favor'd, not unknown to fame.

With pious care I rescued from our foes.
To fruitful Italy my course was bent;
And from the King of Heav'n is my descent.
— Lines 378–380 (translated by John Dryden).
