concilium ipse pater et magna incepta Latinus deserit ac tristi turbatus tempore differt, multaque se incusat qui non acceperit ultro Dardanium Aenean generumque asciverit urbi.
Father Latinus himself, dismayed by the grimness of the hour, quits the council and postpones his high designs, often chiding himself that he did not give a ready welcome to Dardan Aeneas and did not, for the citys sake, adopt him as a son.
