Whatever fates await thoe in that fight, Turnus, me too await: this hated light I forthwith will abandon, left forsaken, Nor see./Eneas son-in-law, captive taken. Heard mother's words Lavinia; whilst tears strayed Down burning cheeks; and blush profuse bewrayed The inward fire, and o'er chafed face did fly: As when one ivory stains with scarlet dye, Or, mixed with roses, redden lilies white: Such tints on face the virgin gave to light. Him love disturbs, fixed on the maid his gaze; Keener for fight he brief to Amata says: --Do not, 0 mother, do not I entreat Press me with tears and omen so unmeet When to stern Mars conflict I am going; Nor pause of death, indeed, to Turnus owing--Idmon, these my words (herald thou) report To Phrygian king--words of no pleasing sort: --Soon as with rosy wheels conveyed on high Aurora redden shall to-morrow's sky, Be not the Trojans 'gainst Eutulians led; Trojan--Eutulian arms deposited, With our own blood the war to end be brought--Lavinia on that plain for wife be sought. He spoke: to house sped; horses did demand; And joys 'fore him to see them neighing stand (Which Orithyia gave Pilumnus meed; Snow they excelled in whiteness--winds in speed): Smart grooms stand round, with open hands breasts clapping, c Encourage them and hair comb necks o'erlapping. He then to shoulders fits his coat of mail O'orlaid with gold as well as latten pale: At the same time fits and for use does test Both sword and shield and horns of ruddy crest--Sword, which for Daunian sire had Vulcan made And glowing dipped in Stygian wave, 'twas said. Then, Aruncian Actor's spoil--stout spear, Which resting on huge post 'mid hall stood near, He seized with force, and quivering shakes in air, Vociferating: Now, 0 spear, that ne'er Balked.
