Only thisAscanius called out. The Trojans cheered,Echoing him in joy, lifting up their hearts.At that moment in the quarter of high airApollo with flowing hair, from a throne of cloud,Looked down upon Ausonian troops and town.He spoke to the victor, Iulus:"Blessed beYour new-found manhood, child. By striving soMen reach the stars, dear son of godsAnd sire of gods to come. All fated warsWill quiet down, and justly, in the endUnder descendants of Assaracus,For Troy no longer bounds you."
