Brutus Iulius Trois Page 04
Venus hastened to answer Aurora 
You still weep for Memnon but where is Memnon's grave?
the squalling Memnonides yearly honor an empty tomb
Immortal Memnon dwells in the hall of slain heroes
disporting himself among the Hesperides
the new guardian of the golden apples 

To the sinister of Jove sat Juno 
under her  aegis her tunic shimmering 
with all the bright colors of a peacocks throat
her raucous voice louder than its morning song
many promises were made said Juno 
promises to Venus, promises to me
some were kept, some were broken
of those remaining which will Jove keep?
vows to Jove's wife or words to Jove's daughter 
Should we ask after another judgment from Paris?

Minerva glared at the other Goddesses
and angrily gave advice to father Jove
Banish these unruly Trojan children 
remove them from all the shores they have known
perhaps then peace can be made between us
and the Trojan wars truly ended 

Jove stood  and there was silence
The Trojans are our children but the Trojans are not children
Venus would you have warriors wear woman's tunics
and hide in their homes as barbaric  anarchy reigns
Juno I keep what oaths I may but even I must bow to fates decrees
if life's tapestry were to be unraveled even we would be swallowed by chaos
The unsettled ones will be gathered and scattered to new homes in the wilderness 
in the west well protected by wave 
lies the isle of giant Albion, Neptune's son
he that was slain by Hercules 
to this Isle shall Brutus bring his Trojans

To sleeping Brutus Venus softly came
Greece is no place for a true Trojan
though your cousins shall soon rule here
these last Trojans must begin wandering anew
When Brutus awoke he sent to the Trojans
sent them to hiding,  in the deep forest
to houses of shelter,  to caves in the hills
then sent he a message to Pandrasus the king
we'd rather die savage beasts than live as tamed pets
we are sons of Troy though Troy is no more
therefore Pandrasus we now take our leave
