Virgil: TAB II: Lines 21-25

Lines 21-25 (beginning "est in conspectu Tenedos" ending "Mycenas")

In sight lies Tenedos, an island very famous by reputation, rich in resources as long as the kingdom of Priam was remaining, now only a bay and a treacherous anchorage for ships: they sailed here and concealed themselves on the desolate shore; we thought that they had gone away and set sail for Mycenae.
