My beauty fail'd, and I no more did care

For any pomp, I knew not where I was,

But sick I was, and evil I did fare;

I lay upon my bed ten days and nights,

A skeleton I was in all men's sights.

At non infelix animi Phaenissa, nec unquam

Solvitur in somnos, oculisque ac pectore amores

Accipit; ingeminant curae, rursusque resurgens

Saevit amor, &c.———

Unhappy Dido could not sleep at all,
