Such Germanicus constructed, His. 3, 47. So also the canoes of the N. Am. Indians. Ministrantur, sc. naves==the ships are not furnished with sails, cf. His. 4, 12: viros armaque ministrant. Or it may be taken in the more literal sense: are served, i.e. worked, mannged. Cf. Virg. Aen. 6, 302: velisque ministrat. In ordinem. For a row, i.e. so as to form a row, cf.
No. 110. Horror ubique animos, simul ipsa silentia terrent. VIRG. AEn. ii. v. 755. All things are full of horror and affright, And dreadful ev'n the silence of the night.
The Amazon immediately singled out this well-dressed warrior, being seized with a woman's longing for the pretty trappings that he was adorned with: Totumque incauta per agmen, Faemineo praedae et spoliorum ardebat amore. AEn., xi. 781. So greedy was she bent On golden spoils, and on her prey intent.

Bear my last words to Turnus; fly with speed And bid him timely to my charge succeed; Repel the Trojans, and the town relieve: Farewell." Turnus did not die in so heroic a manner, though our poet seems to have had his eye upon Turnus's speech in the last verse: Lord Percy sees my fall. Vicisti, et victum tendere palmas Ausonii videre. VIRG., AEn. xii. 936.
But to proceed: Earl Douglas on a milk-white steed, Most like a baron bold, Rode foremost of the company, Whose armour shone like gold. Turnus, ut antevolans tardum praecesserat agmen, &c. Vidisti, quo Turnus equo, quibus ibat in armis Aurcus AEn. ix. 47, 269. Our English archers bent their bows, Their hearts were good and true; At the first flight of arrows sent, Full threescore Scots they slew.
It was a beautiful folio, full of quaint plates and fine old printing, and bound in a rich leather that time and the sun had tanned to an autumn gold. While I was regarding it the breeze came through the window and stirred the yellow leaves, exposing a pencil-marked verse in the most pastoral of psalms: "Hy doert my nederliggen in grasige wenden; Hy doert my sachtkens aen seer stille wateren."
Virgil, who reserves nearly all his similes for the last six books, occasionally strikes an original key. The lion, as may be supposed, furnishes many. We subjoin a further list which may be useful to the reader. Phars. i. 206. Theb. ii. 675; iv. 494; v. 598; vii. 670; viii. 124; ix. 739, and perhaps v. 231. The Serpent, dragon, &c.

Aen. 2, 49 quidquid id est etc.; see Roby, 1697; A. 309, c; G. 246, 4; H. 476, 3. The subjunctive is here used, with the imaginary second person, to render prominent the hypothetical and indefinite character of the verb statement. Roby, 1544-1546; Madvig, 370, 494, Obs. 5, . VOX: 'utterance'; the word is used only of speeches in some way specially remarkable.
