non hunc Tyrii fors prospera belli, tantum bella iuvant; natum hortaturque probatque nec vicisse velit; sed primos comminus enses et sceleris tacito rimatur semina voto.
Tis not the prosperous fortune of the Tyrian war that pleases him, only war. He encourages his son and approves him, but would not wish him victory; but he probes the first clash of swords and the seeds of crime with silent prayer.
