Ergō aderat prōmissa diēs et tempora Parcae
dēbita complērant, cum Turnī iniūria mātrem
admonuit ratibus sacrīs dēpellere taedās.
Hīc prīmum nova lūx oculīs offulsit et ingēns110
vīsus ab Aurōrā caelum trānscurrere nimbus
Īdaeīque chorī; tum vōx horrenda per aurās
excidit et Trōum Rutulōrumque agmina complet:
'Nē trepidāte meās, Teucrī, dēfendere nāvīs
nēve armāte manūs; maria ante exūrere Turnō115
quam sacrās dabitur pīnūs. Vōs īte solūtae,
ite deae pelagī; genetrīx iubet.' Et sua quaeque
continuō puppēs abrumpunt vincula rīpīs
delphīnumque modō dēmersīs aequora rōstrīs
īma petunt. Hinc virgineae (mīrābile mōnstrum)120
reddunt sē totidem faciēs pontōque feruntur.122
