  And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate,
    Expelled and exiled, left the Trojan shore.

        Italiam, fato profugus, Laviniaque venit
          Litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto

In the throat
  Of Hell, before the very vestibule
    Of opening Orcus, sit Remorse and Grief,
      And pale Disease, and sad Old Age and Fear,
        And Hunger that persuades to crime, and Want:
          Forms terrible to see. Suffering and Death
            Inhabit here, and Death's own brother Sleep;
              And the mind's evil lusts and deadly War,
                Lie at the threshold, and the iron beds
                  Of the Eumenides; and Discord wild
                    Her viper-locks with bloody fillets bound.
