lines 122-131 Flashcards
Tum senior semperque odiis et crimine Drances infensus iuveni Turno sic ore vicissim orsa refert:
Then the elder Drances, always hostile with acts of hatred, to young Turnus, so in turn with his mouth being opened he said:
‘o fama ingens, ingentior armis, vir Troiane, quibus caelo te laudibus aequem?
‘O great in fame and greater in arms, O trojan man, with what praises am I to equal you in heaven?
iustitiaene prius mirer belline laborum?
Shall I admire first your justice or your exertions in war?
nos vero haec patriam grati referemus ad urbem et te, si qua viam dederit Fortuna, Latino iungemus regi.
but we will gratefully report these things to our native city and we will unite you with king Latinus if any Fortune shows a way.
quaerat sibi foedera Turnus.
Let Turnus seek treaties for himself.
quin et fatalis murorum attollere moles saxaque subvectare umeris Troiana iuvabit.’
Indeed it will even delight us to raise up the fated masses of walls and to carry trojan stones on our shoulders.
