Immortalis ego? Aut quicquam mihi dulce meorum
Te sine, frater, erit? O quæ satìs ima dehiscat
Terra mihi, Manesque deam demittat ad imos !"
Tantum effata, caput glauco contexit amictu,
Multa gemens, et se fluvio dea condidit alto.
Eneas instat contrà, telumque coruscat
Ingens arboreum, et sævo sic pectore fatur :-
Quæ nunc deinde mora est? aut quid jam, Turne,
retractas?
Non cursu, sævis certandum est cominùs armis: 890
Verte omnes tete in facies, et contrahe quicquid
Sive animis, sive arte, vales; opta ardua pennis
Astra sequi, clausumque cavâ te condere terrâ.
Ille, caput quassans :- "Non me tua fervida terrent
Dicta, ferox: Dî me terrent, et Jupiter hostis." 895
Nec plura effatus, saxum circumspicit ingens,
(Saxum antiquum, ingens, campo quod fortè jacebat
Limes agro positus, litem ut discerneret arvis);
Vix illud lecti bis sex cervice subirent,
Qualia nunc hominum producit corpora tellus :
Ille manu raptum trepidâ torquebat in hostem
Altior insurgens, et cursu concitus heros.
Sed neque currentem se, nec cognoscit euntem,
Tollentemve manu saxumque immane moventem;
Genua labant, gelidus concrevit frigore sanguis: 903
Tum lapis ipse viri, vacuum per inane volutus,
Nec spatium evasit totum, nec pertulit ictum.
Ac velut in somnis, oculos ubi languida pressit
Nocte quies, nequicquam avidos extendere cursus
Velle videmur, et in mediis conatibus ægri
Succidimus; non lingua valet, non corpore notæ
Sufficiunt vires, nec vox nec verba sequuntur :
Sic Turno, quâcunque viam virtute petivit,
Successum dea Dira negat. Tum pectore sensus
Vertuntur varii: Rutulos aspectat et urbem,
Cunctaturque metu, telumque instare tremiscit :
Nec quò se eripiat, nec quâ vi tendat in hostem,
Nec currus usquam videt, aurigamque sororem.
Cunctanti telum Eneas fatale coruscat,
Sortitus fortunam oculis; et corpore toto
Eminùs intorquet: murali concita nunquam
Tormento sic saxa fremunt, nec fulmine tanti
Dissultant crepitus. Volat, atri turbinis instar,
Exitium dirum hasta ferens; orasque recludit
Loricæ, et clypei extremos septemplicis orbes :
Per medium stridens transit femur. Incidit ictus
Ingens ad terram duplicato poplite Turnus.
Consurgunt gemitu Rutuli; totusque remugit
Mons circùm, et vocem latè nemora alta remittunt.
Ille, humilis supplexque, oculos dextramque pre-
Protendens," Equidem merui, nec deprecor," in-
"Utere sorte tuâ: miseri te si qua parentis
Tangere cura potest, oro (fuit et tibi talis
Anchises genitor) Dauni miserere senectæ ;
Et me, seu corpus spoliatum lumine mavis,
Redde meis. Vicisti; et victum tendere palmas
Ausonii vidêre ; tua est Lavinia conjux :
Ulteriùs nè tende odiis." Stetit acer in armis
Æneas, volvens oculos, dextramque repressit :
Et jam jamque magis cunctantem flectere sermo
Cœperat, infelix humero cùm apparuit alto
Balteus, et notis fulserunt cingula bullis
Pallantis pueri; victum quem vulnere Turnus
Straverat, atque humeris inimicum insigne gerebat.
Ille, oculis postquam sævi monumenta doloris
Exuviasque hausit, furiis accensus et irâ
Terribilis,-Tune hinc spoliis indute meorum
Eripiare mihi? Pallas te hoc vulnere, Pallas
Immolat, et pœnam scelerato ex sanguine sumit."
Hoc dicens, ferrum adverso sub pectore condit
Fervidus ast illi solvuntur frigore membra;
Vitaque cum gemitu fugit indignata sub umbras.

WORKS PUBLISHED BY WILLIAM PICKERING.
NEW ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARIES OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
I.-In Two large Quarto Volumes, price Five Guineas, cloth. This work consists of two large quarto volumes, upon the composition of which the author has been employed for more than 20 years: and though the expense of publication has exceeded the sum of 6000l. it is published at the moderate price of 5 guineas. The two volumes contain nearly 2300 pages of 3 columns each, closely, yet clearly and beautifully printed. In this Dictionary equal care has been bestowed upon the Etymologies and Explanation; and also upon the copious selection of quotations in illustration of both:-these are arranged in Chronological series from Wiclif and Chaucer to Burke and Cowper.
II.-Abridged in One large Volume Octavo, price Eighteen Shillings, cloth. This Dictionary comprises, as equally essential, the two departments of Etymology and Explanation: the former most carefully and elaborately investigated, and the latter founded, with equal care and labour, upon such results as investigation may discover. This combination, unattempted in all other English dictionaries, will, it is hoped, entitle the book to the character of a Scholar's Manual: and at the same time pre-eminently distinguish it as a book of common refe
