What you’re looking at

This is a page of running prose from what appears to be a narrative work about classical history or legend (page 341). The text recounts events following the fall of Troy, describing how Aeneas traveled to Sicily where he was entertained by King Acestes, participated in games and contests, and eventually sailed to Italy (Latium), where he sent an ambassador with a hundred knights to King Latinus to establish their shared Trojan ancestry and explain Aeneas's arrival. The prose is written in archaic Early Modern English with italicized proper names.
