Aen. 10.215Iamque diēs caelō concesserat almaque currū
noctivagō Phoebē medium pulsābat Olympum:
Aenēās (neque enim membrīs dat cūra quiētem)
ipse sedēns clāvumque regit vēlīsque ministrat.And now day had withdrawn from the sky, and kindly Phoebe was striking mid-Olympus with her night-wandering chariot: Aeneas (for care gives his limbs no rest) sits himself and steers the helm and tends the sails. Aen. 10.219Atque illī mediō in spatiō chorus ecce suārum
220occurrit comitum: nymphae, quās alma Cybēbē
nūmen habēre maris nymphāsque ē nāvibus esse
iusserat, innābant pariter flūctūsque secābant,
quot prius aerātae steterant ad lītora prōrae.And look, in mid-course a chorus of his own companions meets him: the nymphs whom kindly Cybebe had ordered to have power over the sea and to turn from ships to nymphs were swimming side by side and cutting through the waves, as many as the bronze prows that had stood before at the shore. Aen. 10.224Agnōscunt longē rēgem lūstrantque chorēīs,
225quārum quae fandī doctissima Cymodocēa
pōne sequēns dextrā puppim tenet ipsaque dorsō
ēminet ac laevā tacitīs subrēmigat undīs,
tum sīc ignārum adloquitur: Vigilāsne, deum gēns,
Aenēa?They recognise their king from afar and circle him in dances; of these Cymodocea, most skilled in speech, following behind, holds the stern with her right hand, and herself rises above the water to her back, and with her left hand rows beneath the silent waters; then she addresses him, unaware, thus: 'Are you awake, Aeneas, offspring of gods?
Aen. 10.229Vigilā et vēlīs immitte rudentīs.Stay awake, and let out the sheets to the sails. Aen. 10.230Nōs sumus, Īdaeae sacrō dē vertice pīnūs,
nunc pelagī nymphae, classis tua.We are the pines from the sacred summit of Ida, now nymphs of the sea, your fleet. Aen. 10.231Perfidus ut nōs
praecipitīs ferrō Rutulus flammāque premēbat,
rūpimus invītae tua vincula tēque per aequor
quaerimus.When the treacherous Rutulian was pressing hard on us with sword and flame, headlong we broke your moorings against our will, and now we seek you across the sea. Aen. 10.234Hanc Genetrīx faciem miserāta refēcit
235et dedit esse deās aevumque agitāre sub undīs.The Mother, pitying us, refashioned us in this form, and granted us to be goddesses and pass our life beneath the waves. Aen. 10.236At puer Ascanius mūrō fossīsque tenētur
tēla inter media atque horrentīs Mārte Latīnōs.But the boy Ascanius is held within the wall and the ditches, amid the weapons and the Latins bristling with war. Aen. 10.238Iam loca iussa tenent fortī permixtus Etrūscō
Arcas eques: mediās illīs oppōnere turmās,
240nē castrīs iungant, certast sententia Turnō.Already the Arcadian horsemen, mingled with brave Etruscans, hold the appointed places: Turnus' resolve is fixed to set his squadrons between, against them, so that they may not join the camp.
Aen. 10.241Surge age et Aurōrā sociōs veniente vocārī
prīmus in arma iubē et clipeum cape, quem dedit ipse
invictum Ignipotēns atque ōrās ambiit aurō.Up, come, and at the coming of Dawn be the first to order your comrades called to arms, and take the shield, unconquerable, which the Fire-lord himself gave you and ringed its rim with gold. Aen. 10.244Crāstina lūx, mea sī nōn inrita dicta putāris,
245ingentis Rutulae spectābit caedis acervōs.Tomorrow's light, if you do not think my words idle, will look on huge heaps of Rutulian slaughter.' Aen. 10.246Dīxerat, et dextrā discēdēns impulit altam
haud ignāra modī puppim: fugit illa per undās
ōcior et iaculō et ventōs aequante sagittā.She had spoken, and as she left she pushed the high stern with her right hand, not ignorant of the way: it flies through the waves swifter than a javelin and an arrow that equals the winds. Aen. 10.249Inde aliae celerant cursūs.Then the other ships speed their course. Aen. 10.249Stupet īnscius ipse
250Trōs Anchīsiadēs;The Trojan son of Anchises himself is astonished, not understanding; Aen. 10.250animōs tamen ōmine tollit.yet he lifts his spirits with the omen.
Aen. 10.251Tum breviter super adspectāns convexa precātur:
Alma parēns Īdaea deum, cui Dindyma cordī
turrigeraeque urbis biiugīque ad frēna leōnēs,
tū mihi nunc pugnae prīnceps, tū rīte propinquēs
255augurium Phrygibusque adsīs pede, dīva, secundō.Then, looking up at the vault above, he prays briefly: 'Kindly Idaean mother of the gods, to whom Dindymus is dear, and towered cities, and lions yoked in pairs to the reins, now be my leader in battle, now duly bring the augury near, and stand by the Phrygians, goddess, with favouring step.' Aen. 10.256Tantum effātus.So much he spoke. Aen. 10.256Et intereā revolūta rubēbat
mātūrā iam lūce diēs noctemque fugārat:
prīncipiō sociīs ēdīcit, signa sequantur
atque animōs aptent armīs pugnaeque parent sē.And meanwhile the returning day was now growing red with ripened light and had put the night to flight: first he orders his comrades to follow the standards, to make their spirits ready for arms and to prepare themselves for battle.
