about

Book three of the Aeneid tells in flashback the story so far of the Trojan's quest for their new home.

The music is The Groves Dance from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, and is taken from a recording of a performance at Bury Court, Bentley.

lyrics

First to Antander where we built our fleet
Then off to Thrace where a tree we did greet
Sacred Delos where we heard Apollo's proclamation
A plague on crete stopped the founding of our nation
Strophades seemed a perfect island but the Harpies pecked us
On Buthrotum we gained a route that would not wreck us
On Sicily we met the Cyclops who had lost his one eye
On Drepanum the fates declared my father must die
