The champions' bulk, their sinews, and their size:

The nearer they approach, the more is known

The apparent disadvantage of their own.

Turnus himself appears in public sight

Conscious of fate, desponding of the fight.

Slowly he moves, and at his altar stands

With eyes dejected, and with trembling hands:

And, while he mutters undistinguished prayers,

A livid deadness in his cheeks appears.

A livid deadness in his cheeks appears.
