Has sentenced thee in life to wander here,
Away from sunlight, and glad household cheer?”
A story long to tell; and longer still
Had been, were time Below, for good or ill,
Not measured for guests from the Upper Air
By speed of rosy Dawn’s four horses there.
But for Æneas, with half Day’s course run,
Not yet had the decisive stage begun.
Perforce the Sibyl warned against delay;
Nor thought Deiphobus his friend to stay.
