¶How Eneas arryued in Ytalye Capitulū xxxiij

WHan Eeneas and his folke were arryued in the sai¦de yle of Enlyola they landed anone / And eneas went to a forest where was a ryche temple that deda∣lus had founded there / In to this temple went Eneas / and there he wolde reste hym self awhyle There dwelled the god∣desse Cryspyne whiche shulde haue brought eneas in to helle for to see the sowle of Anchises his fadre / and the sowles of alle his meynee that were decessed / but this mater I leue for it is fayned and not to be byleuyd / who that will knowe how eneas wente to helle late hym rede virgyle claudyan or the pistelles of Ouyde. & there he shall fynde more than trou¦the. For whiche cause I leue it and wryte not of it. Whan Eneas had taken his reste there awhile / he and his folke departed from thens / And went so moche that they came in ytalye in a grete forest where the ryuer of the tonyre renneth and falleth there in to the see thenne cōmanuded eneas his maryners that they shulde sette hym alon••e there and alle his folke / and they dyde somoche that they came and entred wthin the hauene. for they sawe the countrey fayre and de∣lectable. and the forest grete and full of bestes / Of this lan¦de was lorde kynge latynus that had noon heyre but afay¦re doughter that was named lauyne / The kynge latyne her fader was of grete age / and many one had requyred his dou¦ghter to be theire spouse. And amonge other a bacheler of ytalie shulde haue had her whiche was called turnus y^t was moche preu and hardy / but kynge latyne wolde not gyue her to hym though the pucelle was in age able to be maryed to a prynce of a lande /
