She drew a length of sighs; nor more she said,

But in her azure mantle wrapped her head,

Then plunged into her stream, with deep despair,

And her last sobs came bubbling up in air.

Now stern Æneas waves his weighty spear

Against his foe, and thus upbraids his fear:—

"What farther subterfuge can Turnus find?

What empty hopes are harboured in his mind?

'Tis not thy swiftness can secure thy flight;

Not with their feet, but hands, the valiant fight.
