Aen. 11.397et quōs mīlle diē victor sub Tartara mīsī,
inclūsus mūrīs hostīlīque aggere saeptus.and the thousand I sent down to Tartarus in one day as victor, shut in by walls and hemmed by the enemy's rampart. Aen. 11.399Nūlla salūs bellō."There is no safety in war." Aen. 11.399Capitī cane tālia, dēmēns,
400Dardaniō rēbusque tuīs.Sing such things, madman, for the Dardanian's head and for your own fortunes. Aen. 11.400Proinde omnia magnō
nē cessā turbāre metū atque extollere vīrēs
gentis bis victae, contrā premere arma Latīnī.So go on, do not cease to throw everything into confusion with great fear, to exalt the strength of a race twice conquered, and, on the other hand, to belittle the arms of Latinus. Aen. 11.403Nunc et Myrmidonum procerēs Phrygia arma tremēscunt,
nunc et Tȳdīdēs et Larissaeus Achillēs,
405amnis et Hadriacās retrō fugit Aufidus undās.Now even the chiefs of the Myrmidons tremble at Phrygian arms, now Tydeus' son and Larissaean Achilles, and the river Aufidus flees backwards from the Adriatic waves. Aen. 11.406Vel cum sē pavidum contrā mea iūrgia fingit
artificis scelus et formīdine crīmen acerbat.Or when the crafty villain pretends to be afraid of my reproaches and makes his slander more bitter by his fear.
Aen. 11.408Numquam animam tālem dextrā hāc, absiste movērī,
āmittēs: habitet tēcum et sit pectore in istō.Never will you lose such a soul by this right hand (stop being alarmed): let it dwell with you and stay in that breast of yours. Aen. 11.410Nunc ad tē et tua magna, pater, cōnsulta revertor.Now I return to you, father, and to your weighty proposals. Aen. 11.411Sī nūllam nostrīs ultrā spem pōnis in armīs,
sī tam dēsertī sumus et semel agmine versō
funditus occidimus neque habet Fortūna regressum?If you place no further hope in our arms, if we are so forsaken and, once our column turned, have perished utterly, and Fortune has no way back, Aen. 11.414ōrēmus pācem et dextrās tendāmus inertīs.let us pray for peace and hold out helpless hands. Aen. 11.415Quamquam Ō, sī solitae quicquam virtūtis adesset!And yet, oh, if only some of our wonted valour were here! Aen. 11.416Ille mihi ante aliōs fortūnātusque labōrum
ēgregiusque animī, quī, nēquid tāle vidēret,
prōcubuit moriēns et humum semel ōre momordit.That man in my eyes is fortunate in his toils above others and outstanding in spirit, who, so as not to see any such thing, has fallen dying and once for all bitten the ground with his mouth.
Aen. 11.419Sīn et opēs nōbīs et adhūc intācta iuventūs
420auxiliōque urbēs Ītalae populīque supersunt,
sīn et Trōiānīs cum multō glōria vēnit
sanguine, sunt illīs sua fūnera pārque per omnīs
tempestās: cūr indecorēs in līmine prīmō
dēficimus?But if we still have resources and young men yet untouched, and cities and peoples of Italy remain to help us, if the Trojans too have won their glory at the cost of much blood (they too have their dead, and the storm was the same for all), why do we falter shamefully on the very threshold? Aen. 11.424Cūr ante tubam tremor occupat artūs?Why does trembling seize our limbs before the trumpet sounds? Aen. 11.425Multa diēs variīque labor mūtābilis aevī
rettulit in melius, multōs alterna revīsēns
lūsit et in solidō rūrsus Fortūna locāvit.Many things time and the changing toil of shifting age have restored for the better; Fortune, revisiting by turns, has mocked many and set them again on firm ground. Aen. 11.428Nōn erit auxiliō nōbīs Aetōlus et Arpī:
at Messāpus erit fēlīxque Tolumnius et quōs
430tot populī mīsēre ducēs, nec parva sequētur
glōria dēlēctōs Latiō et Laurentibus agrīs.The Aetolian and Arpi will be no help to us: but Messapus will, and lucky Tolumnius, and the leaders whom so many peoples have sent, and no small glory will follow the chosen men of Latium and the Laurentine fields.
Aen. 11.432Est et Volscōrum ēgregiā dē gente Camilla,
agmen agēns equitum et flōrentīs aere catervās.There is also Camilla, of the noble race of the Volsci, leading a column of horsemen and troops flowering in bronze. Aen. 11.434Quod sī mē sōlum Teucrī in certāmina poscunt
435idque placet tantumque bonīs commūnibus obstō,
nōn adeō hās exōsa manūs Victōria fugit,
ut tantā quicquam prō spē temptāre recūsem.But if the Teucrians call me alone to combat, and this is your pleasure, and I stand so much in the way of the common good, Victory has not so hated these hands and fled from them that I should refuse to attempt anything for so great a hope. Aen. 11.438Ībō animīs contrā, vel magnum praestet Achillem
factaque Vulcānī manibus paria induat arma
440ille licet.I will go against him with courage, though he surpass great Achilles and put on arms like his, made by the hands of Vulcan. Aen. 11.440Vōbīs animam hanc socerōque Latīnō
Turnus ego, haud ūllī veterum virtūte secundus,
dēvōvī.To you and to Latinus, my father-in-law, I, Turnus, second to none of the men of old in valour, have devoted this life.
Aen. 11.442Sōlum Aenēās vocat: et vocet ōrō,
nec Drancēs potius, sīve est haec īra deōrum,
morte luat, sīve est virtūs et glōria, tollat.Aeneas calls me alone: let him call, I pray; and let not Drances rather, if this is the anger of the gods, atone for it with his death, or, if it is valour and glory, carry it off.'
