extemplo Aeneae solvuntur frigore membra ;
ingemit et duplices tendens ad siders palmas
Immediately the limbs of Aeneas were loosened with fear ;
he groaned and stretching both his palms to the stars
talis voce refert : ‘ o terque quaterque beati ,
quis ante ora patrum Troiae sub moenibus altis
contigit oppetere!
uttered such words aloud : ‘ O three and four times blessed ,
whom it befell before the faces of their fathers under the high walls of Troy
to meet their death!
o Danaum fortissime gentis
Tydide! mene lliacis occumbere campis
non potuisse , tuaque animam hanc effundere dextra,
O bravest of the race of greeks ,
son of Tydeus! Could I not have fallen on the plains of Troy
and poured out this life at your right hand
saevus ubi Aeacidae telo iacet Hector, ubi ingens
Sarpedon , ubi tot Simios correpta sum undis
scuta virum galeasque et fortia corpora volvit! ‘
where savage Hector lies dead from the spear of Achilles , where huge
Sarpedon lies , where the simois rolls under its waves
mens shields , which it has carried off , and helmets and brave bodies! “
