^ I agree that the Fagle’s translation seems to take a lot of liberties in order to work in meter. Most frustrating of all, especially for translation, the lines do not match up at all with the original Latin!

Dryden’s is alright, but I think it’s a little archaic.

I would recommend David West’s translation. It’s accurate and very readable.
