Descend into the cold earth, poor trembling body that can no longer support its own weight. When thou art there, perchance thou wilt be believed, if doubt believes in death. O sorrowful spectre! On the banks of what stream wilt thou wander and groan? What fires devour thee? Thou dreamest of a long journey and thou hast one foot in the grave! "Die! God is thy witness that thou hast tried to love.
But if any ampler grace mask itself in these thy prayers, and thou dreamest of change in the whole movement of the war, idle is the hope thou nursest. And Juno, weeping: 'Ah yet, if thy mind were gracious where thy lips are stern, and this gift of life might remain confirmed to Turnus!

Nisida, who art on the other side of that range, little dreamest thou of the peril that menaces thee. Joy! joy! the danger has passed; the wolf turns aside from a loftier impediment of crag than had yet appeared in its course: and down down again toward the groves and valleys over the bituminous waste made by the volcano on, on goes the monster.

'My lord, replied Pyrrhus, 'I dream not a jot, neither do you dream; nay, you bestir yourselves on such wise that were this tree to do likewise, there would not be a pear left on it.
