717Here Mars, mighty in arms, added courage and strength to the Latins, turned sharp goads in their breasts, and sent Flight and black Fear among the Teucrians. 720They gather from all sides, since the chance of fighting is given, and the warrior god comes into their hearts. 722Pandarus, when he sees his brother's body laid out, and in what state fortune stands, what chance governs affairs, swings the gate on its turned hinge with great force, pushing with his broad shoulders, and leaves many of his own men shut out from the walls in the hard struggle; 727but others he shuts in with himself and receives as they rush in, madman, not to have seen the Rutulian king bursting in in the middle of the column, and to have shut him into the city of his own accord, like a monstrous tiger among helpless cattle.
731At once a new light flashed from his eyes, and his armour rang dreadfully; 732the blood-red crests tremble on his head, and he sends glittering lightnings from his shield: the Aeneadae, suddenly thrown into confusion, recognise that hated face and those huge limbs. 735Then huge Pandarus leaps forward and, burning with anger at his brother's death, speaks out: 'This is not the palace of Amata, your dowry, nor does Ardea in its midst hold Turnus within his native walls. 739You see a hostile camp; 739there is no power to get out of here.' 740Smiling at him with a calm heart, Turnus says: 'Begin, if there is any courage in your heart, and join hands with me: you will tell Priam that here too an Achilles has been found.' 743He had spoken.
743The other, straining with all his strength, hurls his spear, rough with knots and raw bark: the winds received the wound; 745Juno, Saturn's daughter, turned it aside as it came, and the spear sticks fast in the gate. 747'But this weapon, which my right hand wields with force, you shall not escape; 748for not such is the author of this weapon and wound.' 749So he speaks, and rises high to the uplifted sword, and with the steel cleaves the forehead in the middle between the two temples, and the beardless cheeks with a monstrous wound. 752There is a crash; the earth is shaken by the huge weight: dying, he stretches on the ground his collapsed limbs and armour bloody with brains, and in equal halves his head hung this way and that from either shoulder.
