Dardanides contra furit: Anxuris ense sinistram et totum clipei terrae deiecerat orbem (dixerat ille aliquid magnum vimque adfore verbo crediderat, caeloque animum fortasse ferebat canitiemque sibi et longos promiserat annos); Tarquitus exsultans contra fulgentibus armis, silvicolae Fauno Dryope quem nympha crearat, obvius ardenti sese obtulit.
The Dardan storms against them. His sword had felled Anxurs left arm to the ground with the whole circle of his shield'he had uttered some brave vaunt and thought his hand would match his word, and perhaps he was raising his spirit and had promised himself white-haired old age and length of years'when, in the pride of gleaming arms, Tarquitus, whom the Nymph Dryope had borne to silvan Faunus, crossed his fiery course.
