Montibus; dative limiting lustrabunt for montium limiting convexa. See note on cui, 448. Translate: While the shadows shall traverse the sides of the mountains, i. e., as long as the sun shall pursue his diurnal course.

613-694. Dido, having recovered from her first surprise, addresses Aeneas courteously, and immediately prepares to entertain her new guests with royal hospitality. Aeneas sends Achates to the ships to summon Ascanius, and to bring suitable presents for the Queen. Venus causes Cupid to assume the form of Ascanius, while she conveys the latter to Idalium.

dative after succedite. Comp. E. V, 6 and 19; Ge. III, 418.632. Tem-

A. 74, a; B. 145, R.- -637. Domus interior. See on II, 483 and 487.-
637, 638. Domus splendida instruitur, Servius interprets as an example of
prolepsis or anticipation, joining splendida in sense with instruitur rather
than with the subject domus; as if it were domus instruitur ut regali luxu
splendida sit. We may translate freely: "The house is adorned with royal
wealth and splendor." For other examples of prolepsis, see 659, III, 236;

IV, 22.- 639. Arte-superbo, worked with skill, and of royal purple. Sunt

deeds of her Phoenician ancestors were chased on the vessels of gold and
silver.- -642. Ducta, transmitted or derived.-645. Ferat and ducat, ex-
pressing the purpose of praemittit, would require ut in prose. Haec refers
to all the incidents just narrated in regard to Aeneas and his friends. Ipsum

objective, that loves, or that is loved. Here it is used in the former sense,
fond. In Ascanio stat, is fixed on Ascanius.- -648. Pallam; an ample robe

covering the entire person, and worn over the stola. See figure of Juno,
page 8. Signis auroque, with figures and gold; hendiadys for signis aureis.

649. Circumtextum acantho, bordered with the yellow acanthus. Perhaps
the leaves of the acanthus were imitated in embroidery with golden threads;

hence, yellow. See page 35.- 650. Ornatus; namely, the palla and velamen. Mycenis; here for Greece, as in II, 577.651. Peteret, in the scanning of this verse, has the last syllable long by the ictus.

awaken kind feelings in Dido. Comp. 714. -660. Ossibus. Comp. VII,
355.661. Domum, house; for race, or nation, as in 284. Ambiguam, bilin-
guis. These words express the national prejudice of Vergil and the Romans,
which had rendered the term Punica fides a synonym for bad faith.-
662, Urit, burns, disturbs (her). Supply eam. She is troubled with the fear
of Juno's enmity and her skill in mischief. Cura recursat. The anxiety of
Venus about Aeneas had been relieved by the promises of Jupiter (see 257,
sqq.); but now, as the banquet-hour approaches at nightfall (sub noctem),

she thinks of the new perils of the Trojans, and her fear returns. Possibly Heyne is right in thinking there is an allusion to the fact that night is apt to bring back and magnify the anxieties of the mind.- -664, Meae-temnis, my strength, alone (who art alone) my great power, my child, who dost set at naught the Typhoian missiles of the supreme father. Solus is joined by Wagner and later commentators with the preceding words, though the earlier authorities make it agree with the following qui. The thunderbolts of Jupiter slew the giant Typhoeus; Ge. I, 279; hence, Typhoia. Ancient artists represented Cupid as breaking in mockery the thunderbolts of Jupiter.666. Tua numina, thy divine power.. -667. Frater. See 618. Ut; as in 466. Omnia. Comp. 32.- -668. Iactetur has the last syllable lengthened by the ictus. Odiis. Comp. 4 and 251, ob iram.-669. Nota, for notum. This accords with the Greek idiom. See Kühner's Greek Gr. 241, 3. -670. Hunc is used with the same sort of emphasis as haec in 717.671. Iunonia. Hospitalities which are extended by the people of Juno, and which are subject to her influences, can not be safe for the Trojans. Quo se vertant, what direction they may take.- -672, Cardine is an ablative of time. -673. Flamma, with burning love.-674, 675. Ne quo-teneatur, that she may not be changed by any divine influence, but may be held, etc. Üt before teneatur is suggested by the foregoing ne.- -675. Mecum, in common with me; as well as I. Comp. Ge. I, 41; II, 8.- -676. Qua, in what manner? The question depends on accipe mentem.- -677. Cari; as in 646.679. Pelago. See on 126, and recludit, 358. But possibly the dative may be intended after restantia as analogous to superesse. -680. Sopitum. See on sub mersas, 69.682. Qua; as in 18. Dolos, the stratagem. Medius occurrere, intervenire, interfere.- -683. Tu is emphatic, as opposed to hunc. Faciem falle, counterfeit his form. Amplius is the acc. of time, and quam is omitted before noctem. M. 305, 306. -684. Pueri puer. The association of ideas is aided by the juxtaposition of the words. Comp. V, 569; X, 734. See H. 596; A. 344, g; B. 333, f; G. 683; M. 473, a. 686. Amidst the royal banquet and the flow of wine.- -688. Comp. VII, 350.690. Gressu gaudens incedit is equivalent to gressu gaudet incedere. The god takes delight in assuming the form and gait of Iulus, partly on account of his sportive nature, and partly, perhaps, in the anticipation of mischief. The former seems to be the predominant, if not the whole, idea.-691. Ascanio; a dative limiting inrigat instead of a genitive after membra. H, 398, 5; A. 235, a; B. 244; G. 343, R. 2; M. 241, obs. 3.-692. Inrigat, she diffuses.693. Idaliae; another form for Idalium, 681.- -694. Floribus et umbra; join with complectitur. Aspirans, breathing (odors) upon (him).

695-756. Cupid, having thus entered the palace, disguised as the child Ascanius, exercises his power over the mind of the Queen, to make her forget Sychaeus and love Aeneas. She protracts the banquet by making many inquiries of Aeneas about the Trojan war, and finally begs him to give an account of the sack of Troy, and of his own subsequent adventures.

696. Duce laetus Achate. See on 275.-697. Venit; the present. Sce H. 590; A. 351, b; B. 388, c; M. 145. Aulaeis superbis, of or with splendid draperies; an ablative of description, limiting sponda. Others take the words here by synecdoche for the "curtained" or "tapestried hall," as aulaea were suspended from the ceilings in Roman banqueting halls as canopies. In this case the ablative is locative. Tapestries richly wrought with woven and embroidered figures were used variously as curtains, canopies, draperies, and coverings for thrones and couches. See illustration given on page 698. Aurea here a dissyllable. Composuit locavit. The perfect definite, or perfect with have. Sec H. 471, I; A. 279; B. 60; G. 227; M. 335, b.
