Arms and the Heroes, who from Lisbon’s shore,

Thro’ seas where sail was never spread before,

Beyond where Ceylon lifts her spicy breast,

And waves her woods above the wat’ry waste,

With prowess more than human forc’d their way

To the fair kingdoms of the rising day:

What wars they wag’d, what seas, what dangers pass’d,

What glorious empire crown’d their toils at last,

Vent’rous I sing…

This poem’s dividing structure is the same as which other epic?

Of arms I sing, and of the man, whom Fate

First drove from Troy to the Lavinian shore.

Full many an evil, through the mindful hate

Of cruel Juno, from the gods he bore,

Much tost on earth and ocean, yea, and more

In war enduring, ere he built a home,

And his loved household-deities brought o’er

To Latium, whence the Latin people come,

Whence rose the Alban sires, and walls of lofty Rome.

The gaudy Redskins had taken them for targets,

And had nailed them naked to totem poles.)

Which of the following is a contemporary and confidant of this author?

His weary glance, from passing by the bars,

Has grown into a dazed and vacant stare;

It seems to him there are a thousand bars

And out beyond those bars the empty air.

The pad of his strong feet, that ceaseless sound

Of supple tread behind the iron bands,

Is like a dance of strength circling around,

While in the circle, stunned, a great will stands.

But there are times the pupils of his eyes

Dilate, the strong limbs stand alert, apart,

Tense with the flood of visions that arise

Only to sink and die within his heart.
