Tum senior semperque odiis et crimine Drances

infensus iuueni Turno sic ore uicissim

orsa refert: 'o fama ingens, ingentior armis,

uir Troiane, quibus caelo te laudibus aequem?125

iustitiaene prius mirer belline laborum?

nos uero haec patriam grati referemus ad urbem

et te, si qua uiam dederit Fortuna, Latino

quin et fatalis murorum attollere moles130

saxaque subuectare umeris Troiana iuuabit.'

dixerat haec unoque omnes eadem ore fremebant.

bis senos pepigere dies, et pace sequestra

per siluas Teucri mixtique impune Latini

errauere iugis. ferro sonat alta bipenni135

fraxinus, euertunt actas ad sidera pinus,

robora nec cuneis et olentem scindere cedrum

nec plaustris cessant uectare gementibus ornos.
