406When she seemed to have sharpened the first frenzy enough and to have overturned the plans and all the house of Latinus, at once the grim goddess rises from here on dusky wings to the walls of the bold Rutulian, the city which Danae is said to have founded with Acrisian settlers, carried down by the rushing south wind. 411The place was once called Ardea by our ancestors, and Ardea still remains a great name, but its fortune is past; 413here in his lofty palace Turnus was now taking his rest in the middle of the black night. 415Allecto puts off her grim face and her fiendish limbs, and transforms herself into the features of an old woman; 417she furrows her foul brow with wrinkles, puts on white hair with a ribbon, then entwines an olive branch in it; 419she becomes Calybe, aged priestess of Juno and her temple, and presents herself before the young man's eyes with these words: 'Turnus, will you let so many labours be poured out in vain, and your sceptre be handed over to Dardan settlers?
423The king refuses you your marriage and the dowry won with blood, and a foreign heir is sought for the kingdom. 425Go now, you laughing-stock, offer yourself to thankless dangers; 426go, lay low the Tyrrhenian ranks; 426protect the Latins with peace. 427This is what almighty Saturn's daughter herself ordered me to tell you openly, while you lay in the calm night. 429So come, gladly prepare the youth to be armed and to march from the gates to arms, and burn the Phrygian captains who have settled by the lovely river, and their painted ships. 432The great might of the heavenly ones commands it. 432Let King Latinus himself, unless he agrees to give you your bride and keep his word, find out and at last feel Turnus in arms.'
