Harry, I might be totally wrong about this, but I suspect that in this case Google didn't do a word-for-word translation. My guess is that it was clever enough to recognise this as a passage from the Aeneid (because it has indexed hundreds of web pages that contain this text), and it was then able to find other web pages that contain English translations of the Aeneid.
I'd be interested to know what would happen if you gave it a paragraph that you had written yourself. (Try it, why don't you).
If you think I'm talking rubbish, by all means say so.
