Aen. 10.575Intereā biiugis īnfert sē Lucagus albīs
in mediōs frāterque Liger;Meanwhile Lucagus drives into the midst with his pair of white horses, and his brother Liger; Aen. 10.576sed frāter habēnīs
flectit equōs, strictum rotat ācer Lucagus ēnsem.but the brother guides the horses with the reins, while fierce Lucagus whirls his drawn sword. Aen. 10.578Haud tulit Aenēās tantō fervōre furentīs:
inruit adversaque ingēns appāruit hasta.Aeneas did not bear them raging with such fury: he rushed in and appeared, huge, with spear levelled against them. Aen. 10.580Cui Liger:
Nōn Diomēdis equōs nec currum cernis Achillis
aut Phrygiae campōs: nunc bellī fīnis et aevī
hīs dabitur terrīs.To him Liger: 'You do not see the horses of Diomedes nor the chariot of Achilles, nor the plains of Phrygia: now the end of the war and of your life will be given you on this land.' Aen. 10.583Vēsānō tālia lātē
dicta volant Ligerī.Such words fly far and wide from mad Liger. Aen. 10.584Sed nōn et Trōïus hērōs
585dicta parat contrā: iaculum nam torquet in hostem.But the Trojan hero does not prepare words in reply: for he hurls a javelin at the enemy.
Aen. 10.586Lucagus ut prōnus pendēns in verbera tēlō
admonuit biiugōs, prōiectō dum pede laevō
aptet sē pugnae, subit ōrās hasta per īmās
fulgentis clipeī, tum laevum perforat inguen:
590excussus currū moribundus volvitur arvīs.As Lucagus, leaning forward to the lash, urged on his pair with his weapon, while with left foot thrust out he readied himself for battle, the spear comes in under the lowest rim of his flashing shield, then pierces his left groin: thrown from the chariot, he rolls dying on the fields. Aen. 10.591Quem pius Aenēās dictīs adfātur amārīs:
Lucage, nūlla tuōs currūs fuga segnis equōrum
prōdidit aut vānae vertēre ex hostibus umbrae:
ipse rotīs saliēns iuga dēseris.Dutiful Aeneas addresses him with bitter words: 'Lucagus, no sluggish flight of your horses betrayed your chariot, nor did empty shadows from the enemy turn them aside: you yourself, leaping from the wheels, abandon the yoke.' Aen. 10.594Haec ita fātus
595arripuit biiugōs;Having spoken thus, he seized the pair; Aen. 10.595frāter tendēbat inertīs
īnfēlīx palmās, currū dēlapsus eōdem:
Per tē, per quī tē tālem genuēre parentēs,
vir Trōiāne, sine hanc animam et miserēre precantis.the brother, unhappy, slipping down from the same chariot, was stretching out helpless hands: 'By yourself, by the parents who bore you such as you are, Trojan hero, spare this life and pity one who prays.' Aen. 10.599Plūribus ōrantī Aenēās: Haud tālia dūdum
600dicta dabās.As he pleaded further, Aeneas said: 'Not such were the words you were giving just now.
Aen. 10.600Morere et frātrem nē dēsere frāter.Die, and do not desert your brother, brother.' Aen. 10.601Tum latebrās animae pectus mūcrōne reclūdit.Then with his blade he opens the breast, the hiding-place of the soul. Aen. 10.602Tālia per campōs ēdēbat fūnera ductor
Dardanius, torrentis aquae vel turbinis ātrī
mōre furēns.Such deaths the Dardan leader dealt across the plains, raging like a torrent of water or a black whirlwind. Aen. 10.604Tandem ērumpunt et castra relinquunt
605Ascanius puer et nēquīquam obsessa iuventūs.At last the boy Ascanius and the young men besieged in vain burst out and leave the camp.
