Aen. 11.794Audiit et vōtī Phoebus succēdere partem
795mente dedit, partem volucrīs dispersit in aurās:
sterneret ut subitā turbātam morte Camillam,
adnuit ōrantī;Phoebus heard and granted in his mind that part of the vow should succeed, and part he scattered to the flying winds: that he should lay low Camilla, thrown into confusion by sudden death, he granted to his prayer; Aen. 11.797reducem ut patria alta vidēret,
nōn dedit, inque Notōs vōcem vertēre procellae.that his high fatherland should see him return, he did not grant, and the storms turned his words into the South Winds. Aen. 11.799Ergō ut missa manū sonitum dedit hasta per aurās,
800convertēre animōs ācrīs oculōsque tulēre
cūnctī ad rēgīnam Volscī.So when the spear, sent from his hand, sounded through the air, all the Volsci turned their keen minds and brought their eyes to bear on the queen. Aen. 11.801Nihil ipsa nec aurae
nec sonitūs memor aut venientis ab aethere tēlī,
hasta sub exsertam dōnec perlāta papillam
haesit virgineumque altē bibit ācta cruōrem.She herself was aware of nothing, neither the air nor the sound nor the weapon coming from the sky, until the spear, carried home beneath her bared breast, stuck fast, and driven deep drank her maiden blood.
Aen. 11.805Concurrunt trepidae comitēs dominamque ruentem
suscipiunt.Her companions run up in alarm and catch their falling mistress. Aen. 11.806Fugit ante omnīs exterritus Arrūns,
laetitiā mīxtōque metū, nec iam amplius hastae
crēdere nec tēlīs occurrere virginis audet.Arruns flees before all the rest, terrified, with joy mingled with fear, and no longer dares to trust his spear or to face the maiden's weapons. Aen. 11.809Ac velut ille, prius quam tēla inimīca sequantur,
810continuō in montīs sēsē āvius abdidit altōs
occīsō pāstōre lupus magnōve iuvencō,
cōnscius audācis factī, caudamque remulcēns
subiēcit pavitantem uterō silvāsque petīvit:
haud secus ex oculīs sē turbidus abstulit Arrūns
815contentusque fugā mediīs sē immiscuit armīs.And as a wolf, before hostile weapons can pursue him, at once hides himself off the paths in the high mountains, having killed a shepherd or a great bullock, conscious of his daring deed, and drawing in his quivering tail he has tucked it under his belly and made for the woods: just so Arruns in confusion took himself out of sight and, content with flight, mingled in the midst of the armed men.
Aen. 11.816Illa manū moriēns tēlum trahit, ossa sed inter
ferreus ad costās altō stat vulnere mūcrō:
lābitur exsanguis, lābuntur frīgida lētō
lūmina, purpureus quondam color ōra relīquit.She, dying, pulls at the weapon with her hand, but between the bones at the ribs the iron point stands in the deep wound: she sinks down bloodless, her eyes sink, cold in death, and the once rosy colour has left her face. Aen. 11.820Tum sīc exspīrāns Accam ex aequālibus ūnam
adloquitur fīdam ante aliās, quae sōla Camillae,
quīcum partīrī cūrās;Then, breathing her last, she thus addresses Acca, one of her companions of her own age, loyal beyond the others, who alone shared Camilla's cares; Aen. 11.822atque haec ita fātur:
Hāctenus, Acca soror, potuī: nunc vulnus acerbum
cōnficit, et tenebrīs nigrēscunt omnia circum.and she speaks thus: 'Thus far, sister Acca, I have been able: now the bitter wound overcomes me, and all around grows black with darkness. Aen. 11.825Effuge et haec Turnō mandāta novissima perfer:
succēdat pugnae Trōiānōsque arceat urbe.Escape, and carry these last commands to Turnus: let him take my place in the fight and keep the Trojans from the city.
Aen. 11.827Iamque valē.And now farewell.' Aen. 11.827Simul hīs dictīs linquēbat habēnās,
ad terram nōn sponte fluēns.With these words she was letting go of the reins, slipping to the ground against her will. Aen. 11.828Tum frīgida tōtō
paulātim exsolvit sē corpore lentaque colla
830et captum lētō posuit caput, arma relinquunt,
vītaque cum gemitū fugit indignāta sub umbrās.Then, growing cold, little by little she released herself from all her body, and laid down her drooping neck and her head seized by death, her arms leave her, and her life with a groan flies resentful to the shades below. Aen. 11.832Tum vērō immēnsus surgēns ferit aurea clamor
sīdera: dēiectā crūdēscit pugna Camillā,
incurrunt dēnsī simul omnis cōpia Teucrum
835Tyrrhēnīque ducēs Evandrīque Arcadēs alae.Then indeed a boundless shout rises and strikes the golden stars: with Camilla struck down the fight grows fiercer; they charge in a mass, at once the whole force of the Teucrians, the Tyrrhenian leaders and Evander's Arcadian squadrons.
