The money is then paid, and the horse is dragged in, amidst the rejoicings of the Trojans. Hereupon the Greeks burn their tents and leave Troy; but only sail to Sigeum, where they wait until nightfall to return. Havino-re-landed their army, they enter the town through the breach made in the walls for the admission of the horse. We have given this narrative at the greater length, in order to enable the reader to judge whether or no Virgil would have improved the second JEneid by treating his subject in this manner. It is true there is nothing in it about the deceit of Sinon, or the slaughter of Lao-coon by the sea-serpents, or the concealment of the heroes in the horse.
