He said. The hero sternly thus replied:—-

"Thy bars and ingots, and the sums beside,

Leave for thy children's lot. Thy Turnus broke

All rules of war by one relentless stroke,

When Pallas fell: so deems, nor deems alone,

My father's shadow, but my living son."

Thus having said, of kind remorse bereft,

He seized his helm, and dragged him with his left;

Then with his right hand, while his neck he wreathed,

Up to the hilts his shining faulchion sheathed.
