““Sī tē nūlla movet tantārum glōria rērum – [nec super ipse tuā mōlīris laude labōrem] – Ascanium surgentem et spēs hērēdis Iūlī respice, cui rēgnum Ītaliae Rōmānaque tellūs dēbentur.” … “If the glories of such deeds do not inspire you – [and moreover, neither are you yourself endeavoring an effort with merit] – consider Ascanius, [now] coming of age, and the hope of [your] heir Iulus, to whom is due the rule of Italy and the land of Rome.””

(Mercury arrives to confront Aeneas, now lingering in Carthage, and foreshadows the family destiny. The god speaks two different names for Aeneas’s only son: Ascanius, and Iulus, whom Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus claimed as a royal ancestor. Note: Line 273 nearly duplicates line 234 and may be a corruption of the original text.)

“Hoc Monumentum Hērēdem Nōn Sequitur”

"This tombstone does not follow the heir." (An inscription sometimes found on Ancient Roman tombstones, seemingly to stop a tombstone’s being sold off for money by the dead Roman’s heirs.)
