In Hæmus’ field or Lycia’s plain;

Their bucklers rattle, and the ground 10

Quakes, startled by their footfall’s sound.

Halæsus, Agamemnon’s mate,

Who hates all Troy with liegeman’s hate,

Yokes his swift horses to the car,

And brings his hosts to Turnus’ war, 15

The rustic tribes whose ploughshare tills

The vine-clad slopes of Massic hills,

Sent from Auruncan heights, or bound
