of Rome--of Rom'u-lus, who was to found the city--of Brutus, Ca-mil'lus,
Fa'bi-us, and of the mighty Caesars.

"Lo! Caesar there and all his seed,
Iulus' progeny decreed
To pass 'neath heaven's high dome.
This, this is he, so oft the theme
Of your prophetic fancy's dream,
Augustus Caesar, Jove's own strain."
CONINGTON, _AEneid_, BOOK VI.

Anchises next told AEneas of the wars he should have to wage, and
instructed him how to avoid or overcome every difficulty. Then he
conducted his visitors to the gates of Sleep, through which the gods
of Hades sent dreams to the upper world--true dreams through the gate
of horn, and false dreams through the gate of ivory. Here Anchises
left them. Then departing by the ivory gate from the kingdom of the
dead, they returned to the Cumaean cave, and AEneas forthwith
proceeded to his ships.

Sleep gives his name to portals twain;
One all of horn, they say,
Through which authentic spectres gain
Quick exit into day,
And one which bright with ivory gleams,
Whence Pluto sends delusive dreams.
Conversing still, the sire attends
The travellers on their road,
And through the ivory portal sends
From forth the unseen abode.
