Notes Display Latin text | translated by Theodore C. Williams Book XII Chapter 5: Aeneas prepares for the duel | Next chapter Return to index Previous chapter |
That self-same day with aspect terrible Aeneas girt him in the wondrous arms his mother gave; made sharp his martial steel, and roused his heart to ire; though glad was he to seal such truce and end the general war. Then he spoke comfort to his friends; and soothed Iulus' fear, unfolding Heaven's intent; but on Latinus bade his heralds lay unyielding terms and laws of peace impose. |
107-112 Nec minus interea maternis saeuus in armis Aeneas acuit Martem et se suscitat ira, oblato gaudens componi foedere bellum. tum socios maestique metum solatur Iuli fata docens, regique iubet responsa Latino certa referre uiros et pacis dicere leges. |
