{ With rapid flight, and cuts the sounding sky:

{ Black clouds and stormy winds around her body fly.

By this, the Trojan and the Tuscan horse,

Drawn up in squadrons, with united force

Approach the walls: the sprightly coursers bound,

Press forward on their bits, and shift their ground.

Shields, arms, and spears, flash horribly from far;

And the fields glitter with a waving war.

Opposed to these, come on with furious force

Messapus, Coras, and the Latian horse;
