ingens iam templum celsa surgebat in arce, Laomedonteae sedes ingrata Minervae, cum medios inter somnos altamque quietem nec celata deam et minitans Tritonia virgo: non haec, Tydide, tantae pro laudis honore digna paras, non Garganus nec Daunia tellus debentur nobis: quaere in Laurentibus arvis, qui nunc prima locat melioris moenia Troiae.
A vast temple was already rising on the lofty citadel, a dwelling-place distasteful to the goddess from Laomedons city, when the Maiden of Lake Tritonis appeared in her divine form amid the profound silence of the midnight, and warned him thus: Son of Tydeus, this work of yours is not adequate to do honour to such great gloryc; Mount Garganusd and the Daunianland are no fitting place for me. Go to the land of Laurentum,e and seek there for the man who is now laying the foundation-stone of a happier Troy.
