Excerpt from Vergil's Æneid, IV: A Translation

But the queen, on the other hand, long since stricken with the grievous pangs of love, feeds her trouble with her life blood, and is consumed with secret ¿ames. Again and again recur to her mind the valour of the hero, and the glory of his race his looks and words are printed deep in her heart, and her troubled mind refuses to her body calm repose. The next succeeding dawn was traversing the earth with Phoebus' torch, and had dispersed the dank shades of night from the sky, when thus the love-sick queen addresses her sympathetic sister.
