The Internet Wiretap online edition of

This was scanned from the 1909 edition and mechanically
checked against a commercial copy of the AEneid from CDROM.
Differences were corrected against the paper edition. The
text itself is thus a highly accurate rendition.
The following errors in the book were corrected:
Book II Uylsses -> Ulysses
Book VIII murderd' -> murder'd
Book VIII floursh'd -> flourish'd
Book VIII aswer'd -> answer'd
Book X prohesied -> prophesied
This text is in the public domain, released August 1993.

raises at Juno's request. The tempest sinks one, and scatters the
rest. Neptune drives off . . .
