Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris       1.1-5, 8a

Italiam fato profugus Lavinaque venit

litoramultum ille et terris iactatus et alto

vi superum saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram,

multa quoque et bello passus, . . .

Musa, mihi causas memora . . .

 

Obviously the opening lines do not precisely “recall” the rest of the Aeneid that follows, but they do in many ways anticipate it.  Keep them always in your mind.
