Aen. 11.618Extemplō turbātae aciēs, versīque Latīnī
rēiciunt parmās et equōs ad moenia vertunt.At once the ranks are thrown into confusion, and the Latins, turning, sling their shields behind them and wheel their horses towards the walls. Aen. 11.620Trōēs agunt, prīnceps turmās indūcit Asīlās.The Trojans drive them on; Asilas, foremost, leads in the squadrons. Aen. 11.621Iamque propinquābant portīs, rūrsusque Latīnī
clamōrem tollunt et mollia colla reflectunt:
hī fugiunt penitusque datīs referuntur habēnīs.And now they were nearing the gates, and once more the Latins raise a shout and turn back their horses' supple necks: these flee and are carried far back with reins let loose. Aen. 11.624Quālis ubi alternō prōcurrēns gurgite pontus
625nunc ruit ad terram scopulīs que superiacit undam
spūmeus extrēmam que sinū, perfundit arēnam
nunc rapidus retrō atque aestū revolūta resorbēns
saxa fugit lītus que: vadō lābente relinquit
bis Tuscī Rutulōs ēgēre, ad moenia versōs
630bis rēiectī armīs.respectanttergategentēsAs when the sea, surging on with alternating flood, now rushes towards the land and, foaming, flings its wave over the rocks and drenches the furthest sand with its curve, now swiftly flees backwards, sucking back the stones rolled up by the surge, and leaves the shore as the shallows ebb: twice the Tuscans drove the Rutulians, turned, to the walls; twice, thrown back, they look behind them, covering their backs with their shields.
Aen. 11.631Tertia sed postquam congressī in proelia tōtās
implicuēre inter sē aciēs legitque virum vir:
tum vērō et gemitus morientum et sanguine in altō
armaque corporaque et permixtī caede virōrum
635sēmianimēs volvuntur equī, pugna aspera surgit.But when they met in a third clash and locked whole battle-lines together, and man picked out man, then indeed the groans of the dying, and arms and bodies in deep blood, and half-dead horses mingled with the slaughter of men roll over, and a fierce fight arises. Aen. 11.636Orsilochus Remulī, quandō ipsum horrēbat adīre,
hastam intorsit equō ferrumque sub aure relīquit.Orsilochus, since he shrank from approaching Remulus himself, hurled his spear at his horse and left the iron beneath its ear. Aen. 11.638Quō sonipēs ictū furit arduus altaque iactat
vulneris impatiēns arrēctō pectore crūra:
640volvitur ille excussus humī.At the blow the charger rears in fury and, maddened by the wound, chest raised, flings its legs high: Remulus is thrown and rolls on the ground. Aen. 11.640Catillus Iollān
ingentemque animīs, ingentem corpore et armīs
dēicit Herminium, nūdō cui vertice fulva
caesariēs nūdīque umerī, nec vulnera terrent:
tantus in arma patet.Catillus brings down Iollas, and Herminius, huge in spirit, huge in body and arms, whose head was bare with its tawny hair, and his shoulders bare, nor do wounds frighten him: so wide he lies open to arms.
Aen. 11.644Lātōs huic hasta per armōs
