LVIII. BOOK II. CH. XXII. § 6.

[I am that Dido which thou here dost see]

[_]

Ausonius, Epigr. CXVIII.

I am that Dido which thou here dost see,
Cunningly framed in beauteous imagery.
Like this I was, but had not such a soul
As Maro feigned, incestuous and foul.
Æneas never with his Trojan host
Beheld my face, or landed on this coast.
73

But flying proud Iarbas' villainy—
Not moved by furious love or jealousy—
I did, with weapon chaste, to save my fame,
Make way for death untimely ere it came.
This was my end. But first I built a town,
Revenged my husband's death, lived with renown.
Why didst thou stir up Virgil, envious Muse,
Falsely my name and honour to abuse?
Readers, believe historians; not those
Which to the world Jove's thefts and vice expose.
Poets are liars; and for verses' sake,
Will make the gods of human crimes partake.
