For here the Trojan troops the list surround,

And there the pass is closed with pools and marshy ground.

Æneas hastens, though with heavier pace—

His wound, so newly knit, retards the chase,

And oft his trembling knees their aid refuse—

Yet, pressing foot by foot, his foe pursues.

Thus, when a fearful stag is closed around

With crimson toils, or in a river found,

High on the bank the deep-mouthed hound appears,

Still opening, following still, where'er he steers;
