The warrior god the Latian troops inspired,

New strung their sinews, and their courage fired,

But chills the Trojan hearts with cold affright:

Then black despair precipitates their flight.

When Pandarus beheld his brother killed,

The town with fear and wild confusion filled,

He turns the hinges of the heavy gate

With both his hands, and adds his shoulders to the weight;

Some happier friends within the walls inclosed;

The rest shut out, to certain death exposed:
