Book 6.817-823
Anchises speaks of the Tarquins and Brutus, who overthrew the kings and established the Republic.
Vis et Tarquinios reges, animamque superbam
817
ultoris Bruti, fascesque videre receptos?
818
Consulis imperium hic primus saevasque secures
819
accipiet, natosque pater nova bella moventes
820
ad poenam pulchra pro libertate vocabit.
821
Infelix, utcumque ferent ea facta minores,
822
vincet amor patriae laudumque immensa cupido.
