Aen. 7.286Ecce autem Inachiīs sēsē referēbat ab Argīs
saeva Iovis coniūnx aurāsque invecta tenēbat,
et laetum Aenēān classemque ex aethere longē
Dardaniam Siculō prōspexit ab ūsque Pachȳnō.But look, the cruel wife of Jupiter was returning from Inachian Argos and, riding through the air, was holding her course, when from the sky, far off, from as far as Sicilian Pachynus, she saw Aeneas joyful and the Dardan fleet. Aen. 7.290mōlīrī iam tēcta videt, iam fīdere terrae,
dēseruisse ratēs: stetit ācrī fīxa dolōre.She sees them already building houses, already trusting the land, the ships abandoned: she stood still, pierced with bitter pain. Aen. 7.292Tum quassāns caput haec effundit pectore dicta:
Heu stirpem invīsam et fātīs contrāria nostrīs
fāta Phrygum !Then, shaking her head, she pours out these words from her breast: 'Ah, hated race, and fates of the Phrygians opposed to my fates! Aen. 7.294Num Sīgēīs occumbere campīs,
295num captī potuēre capī, num incēnsa cremāvit
Troia virōs ?Could they not fall on the Sigean plains, could they not, once captured, stay captive, did burning Troy not burn the men up? Aen. 7.296Mediās aciēs mediōsque per ignīs
invēnēre viam.Through the midst of battle lines and through the midst of flames they have found a way.
Aen. 7.297At, crēdō, mea nūmina tandem
fessa iacent odiīs aut exsaturāta quiēvī.But, I suppose, my divine power at last lies exhausted, or I have rested, glutted with hatred. Aen. 7.299Quīn etiam patriā excussōs īnfesta per undās
300ausa sequī et profugīs tōtō mē oppōnere pontō !Why, I even dared to pursue them over the waves in my fury when they were driven from their country, and to set myself against the fugitives over the whole sea! Aen. 7.301Absūmptae in Teucrōs vīrēs caelīque marisque.The forces of heaven and sea have been spent against the Teucrians. Aen. 7.302Quid Syrtēs aut Scylla mihi, quid vāsta Charybdis
prōfuit?What good have the Syrtes or Scylla been to me, what good vast Charybdis? Aen. 7.303Optātō conduntur Thybridis alveō,
sēcūrī pelagī atque meī.They are hidden in the longed-for bed of the Tiber, free of care for the sea and for me. Aen. 7.304Mārs perdere gentem
305immānem Lapithum valuit, concessit in īrās
ipse deum antīquam genitor Calydōna Diānae,
quod scelus aut Lapithīs tantum aut Calydōna merentem?Mars was able to destroy the monstrous race of the Lapiths; the father of the gods himself gave up ancient Calydon to Diana's wrath: what crime so great did the Lapiths commit, or Calydon deserve?
Aen. 7.308Ast ego magna Iovis coniūnx, nīl linquere inausum
quae potuī īnfēlīx, quae mēmet in omnia vertī,
310vincor ab Aenēā.But I, the great wife of Jupiter, who in my misery could leave nothing undared, who have turned myself to every means, am conquered by Aeneas. Aen. 7.310Quod sī mea nūmina nōn sunt
magna satis, dubitem haud equidem implōrāre quod usquam est:
flectere sī nequeō superōs, Acheronta movēbō.But if my power is not great enough, I shall surely not hesitate to beg for help wherever it is: if I cannot bend the gods above, I will move Acheron. Aen. 7.313Nōn dabitur regnīs, estō, prohibēre Latīnīs,
atque immōta manet fātīs Lāvīnia coniūnx:
315at trahere atque morās tantīs licet addere rēbus,
at licet ambōrum populōs exscindere rēgum.It will not be granted to keep him from the Latin kingdom, so be it, and Lavinia remains fixed by the fates as his wife: but it is allowed to drag things out and add delays to such great events, but it is allowed to cut down the peoples of both kings. Aen. 7.317Hāc gener atque socer coeant mercēde suōrum:
sanguine Trōiānō et Rutulō dōtābere, virgō,
et Bellōna manet tē prōnuba.At this price of their people let son-in-law and father-in-law unite: with Trojan and Rutulian blood you shall be dowered, maiden, and Bellona awaits you as matron of honour.
Aen. 7.319Nec face tantum
320Cissēis praegnāns ignīs ēnīxa iugālīs
quīn īdem Venerī partus suus et Paris alter
fūnestaeque iterum recidīva in Pergama taedae.Nor was Cisseus' daughter alone pregnant with a torch and gave birth to a marriage fire; Venus too has such offspring of her own, a second Paris, and funeral torches once more for Pergamum reborn.'
