Quotes about Sylvius

• See that brave young man there | That on that pure shaft does the arm rest? | Those who to the light is destined in the first, | first of Lavinia in Lazio you will have | A posthumous son who is already grave to thee, | That at last from her out of the woods adduced, | King will be of Alba, and of the royal Albans | author and father: and Sílvi from his name | all our who descended from him | there they will have a great empire for a long time. (Anchises: Publius Virgil Maron, Aeneid)
