What means Aeneas? Achates though mine eyes say this is stone, Yet thinks my mind that this is Priamus: And when my grieved heart sighs and says no, Then would it leap out to give Priam life: O were I not at all so thou mightst be. Achates, see King Priam wags his hand, He is alive, Troy is not overcome. Thy mind Aeneas that would have it so Deludes thy eye sight, Priamus is dead. Ah Troy is sacked, and Priamus is dead, And why should poor Aeneas be alive? Sweet father leave to weep, this is not he: For were it Priam he would smile on me. Aeneas see here come the Citizens, Leave to lament lest they laugh at our fears. Lords of this town, or whatsoever style Belongs unto your name, vouchsafe of ruth To tell us who inhabits this fair town, What kind of people, and who governs them: For we are strangers driven on this shore, And scarcely know within what Clime we are. I hear Aeneas voice, but see him not, For none of these can be our General. Like Illioneus speaks this Noble man, But Illioneus goes not in such robes. You are Achates, or I deceived. Aeneas see Sergestus or his ghost. He means Aeneas, let us kiss his feet. It is our Captain, see Ascanius. Live long Aeneas and Ascanius. Achates, speak, for I am overjoyed. O Illioneus, art thou yet alive? Blessed be the time I see Achates face. Why turns Aeneas from his trusty friends? Sergestus, Illioneus and the rest, Your sight amazed me, O what destinies Have brought my sweet companions in such plight? O tell me, for I long to be resolved. Lovely Aeneas, these are Carthage walls, And here Queen Dido wears th'imperial Crown, Who for Troy's sake hath entertained us all, And clad us in these wealthy robes we wear. Oft hath she asked us under whom we served, And when we told her she would weep for grief, Thinking the sea had swallowed up thy ships, And now she sees thee how will she rejoice? See where her servitors pass through the hall Bearing a banquet, Dido is not far. Look where she comes: Aeneas viewed her well. Well may I view her, but she sees not me. What stranger art thou that dost eye me thus? Sometime I was a Trojan mighty Queen: But Troy is not, what shall I say I am? Renowned Dido, 'tis our General: warlike Aeneas. Warlike Aeneas, and in these base robes? Go fetch the garment which Sichaeus wore: Brave Prince, welcome to Carthage and to me, Both happy that Aeneas is our guest: Sit in this chair and banquet with a Queen, Aeneas is Aeneas, were he clad In weeds as bad as ever Irus wore. This is no seat for one that's comfortless, May it please your grace to let Aeneas wait: For though my birth be great, my fortunes mean, Too mean to be companion to a Queen.

What meanes Aeneas? Achates though mine eyes say this is stone, Yet thinkes my minde that this is Priamus: And when my grieued heart sighes and sayes no, Then would it leape out to giue Priam life: O were I not at all so thou mightst be. Achates, see King Priam wags his hand, He is aliue, Troy is not ouercome. Thy mind Aeneas that would haue it so Deludes thy eye sight, Priamus is dead. Ah Troy is sackt, and Priamus is dead, And why should poore Aeneas be aliue? Sweete father leaue to weepe, this is not he: For were it Priam he would smile on me. Aeneas see here come the Citizens, Leaue to lament left they laugh at our feares. Lords of this towne, or whatsoeuer stile Belongs vnto your name, vouchsafe of ruth To tell vs who inhabits this faire towne, What kind of people, and who gouernes them: For we are strangers driuen on this shore, And scarcely know within what Clime we are. I heare Aeneas voyce, but see him not, For none of these can be our Generall. Like Illioneus speakes this Noble man, But Illioneus goes not in such robes. You are Achates, or I deciu'd. Aeneas see Sergestus or his ghost. He meanes Aeneas, let vs kisse his feete. It is our Captaine, see Ascanius. Liue long Aeneas and Ascanius. Achates, speake, for I am ouerioyed. O Illioneus, art thou yet aliue? Blest be the time I see Achates face. Why turnes Aeneas from his trustie friends? Sergestus, Illioneus and the rest, Your sight amazde me, O what destinies Haue brought my sweete companions in such plight? O tell me, for I long to be resolu'd. Louely Aeneas, these are Carthage walles, And here Queene Dido weares th'imperiall Crowne, Who for Troyes sake hath entertaind vs all, And clad vs in these wealthie robes we weare. Oft hath she askt vs vnder whom we seru'd, And when we told her she would weepe for griefe, Thinking the sea had swallowed vp thy ships, And now she sees thee how will she reioyce? See where her seruitors passe through the hall Bearing a banket, Dido is not farre. Looke where she comes: Aeneas viewd her well. Well may I view her, but she sees not me. What stranger art thou that doest eye me thus? Sometime I was a Troian mightie Queene: But Troy is not, what shall I say I am? Renowmed Dido, tis our Generall: warlike Aeneas. Warlike Aeneas, and in these base robes? Goe fetch the garment which Sicheus ware: Braue Prince, welcome to Carthage and to me, Both happie that Aeneas is our guest: Sit in this chaire and banquet with a Queene, Aeneas is Aeneas, were he clad In weedes as bad as euer Irus ware. This is no seate for one thats comfortles, May it please your grace to let Aeneas waite: For though my birth be great, my fortunes meane, Too meane to be companion to a Queene.
