Hiding they go, nor in death itself are they eased of the pain. Phaedra, and Procris, here, Eriphyle here they behold. Sadly displaying the wounds that her wild son wrought her of old.
Yonder Pasiphae stood and Evadne ; close to them clung Laodamia, and Caenis, a man once, woman at last, 135 Now by the wheel of the Fates in her former figure recast.
Fresh from her death-wound still, here Dido, the others among.
Roamed in a spacious wood. Thro' shadow the chieftain soon Dimly discerned her face,... as a man, when the month is but young, Sees, or believes he has seen, amid cloud- less shining, the moon.
Tears in his eyes, he addressed her with tender love as of old : " True, then, sorrowful Dido, the mes- senger fires that told Thy sad death, and the doom thou soughtest of choice by thy hand ! Was it, alas ! to a grave that I did thee ?
Now by the bright Stars, by the Gods, and the faith that abides in realms of the Night, 'T was unwillingly, lady, I bade farewell to thy land. Yet, the behest of Immortals, — the same which bids me to go Thro' these shadows, the wilderness mire and the darkness below, — 136 Drove me imperious thence, nor possest I power to believe I at departing had left thee in grief thus bitter to grieve.
