Aeneas searches for Creusa and is met by her ghost

Question 1

ausus quin etiam voces iactare per umbram
implevi clamore vias, maestusque Creusam
neqiuquam ingeminans iterumque iterumque vocavi.

Answer 1

Nay,having dared even to hurl cries through the shadow(s), I filled the roads with shouting, and sorrowfully repeating (the name) Creusa in vain, I called her again and again.

Question 2

quaerenti et tectis urbis sine fine ruenti
infelix simulacrum atque ipsius umbra Creusae
visa mihi ante oculos et nota maior imago.

Answer 2

As i was searching for her and rushing endlessly through the dwellings of the city, the unhappy ghost and shade of Creusa herself appeared to me before my eyes, and her form was larger than her well-known one.

Question 3

obstipui, steteruntque comae et vox faucibus haesit.

Answer 3

I was astounded, my hairs stood on end and my voice stuck in my throat.

Question 4

tum sic adfari et curas his demere dictis:
‘quid tantum insano iuvat indulgere dolori,
o dulcis coniunx?

Answer 4

Then she addressed me as follows and removed my anxieties with these words: ‘How does it help to indulge so much in mad grief, o sweet husband?

Question 5

non haec sine numine divum
eveniunt; nec te comitem hinc portare Creusam
fas, aut ille sinit superi regnator Olympi.’

Answer 5

These things do not occur without the will of the gods; nor is it destined for you to take Creusa from here as your companion, nor does the great ruler of high Olympus allow it.’
