Aen. 11.896Intereā Turnum in silvīs saevissimus implet
nūntius, et iuvenī ingentem fert Acca tumultum:
dēlētās Volscōrum aciēs, cecidisse Camillam,
ingruere īnfēnsōs hostīs et Mārte secundō
900omnia corripuisse, metum iam ad moenia ferrī.Meanwhile the cruellest news fills Turnus in the woods, and Acca brings the young man word of the huge uproar: the battle-lines of the Volsci destroyed, Camilla fallen, the enemy bearing down in hostility and, with Mars on their side, sweeping all before them, the panic now carried to the walls. Aen. 11.901Ille furēns, et saeva Iovis sīc nūmina pellunt,
dēserit obsessōs collīs, nemora aspera linquit.He, raging (for so the cruel will of Jupiter demands), abandons the hills he had beset and leaves the rough woods. Aen. 11.903Vix ē cōnspectū exierat campumque tenēbat,
cum pater Aenēās saltūs ingressus apertōs
905exsuperatque iugum silvāque ēvādit opācā.He had barely gone out of sight and was reaching the plain, when father Aeneas, entering the open glades, both crosses the ridge and comes out of the dark wood. Aen. 11.906Sīc ambō ad mūrōs rapidī tōtōque feruntur
agmine nec longīs inter sē passibus absunt;So both are swept swiftly to the walls with their whole columns, and are not many paces apart; Aen. 11.908ac simul Aenēās fūmantīs pulvere campōs
prōspexit longē Laurentiaque agmina vīdit,
910et saevum Aenēān adgnōvit Turnus in armīs
adventumque pedum flātūsque audīvit equōrum.and at once Aeneas caught sight far off of the plains smoking with dust and saw the Laurentine columns, and Turnus recognised fierce Aeneas in arms and heard the tramp of feet and the snorting of horses.
Aen. 11.912Continuōque ineant pugnās et proelia temptent,
nī roseus fessōs iam gurgite Phoebus Hibērō
tinguat equōs noctemque diē lābente redūcat:
915cōnsīdunt castrīs ante urbem et moenia vallant.And at once they would enter the fight and try the battle, did not rosy Phoebus now bathe his weary horses in the Iberian flood and bring back night as day slips away: they encamp before the city and fortify the walls.
