Quae postquam accepit dubitans Tritonia virgo nec sat certa diu, patriis an cederet armis, absistemus, ait, campo: sed Pallade pulsa num fata avertet? caeloque arcebit ab alto cernere Gargani ferventia caedibus arva? haec effata cava Poenum in certamina nube sublatum diversa tulit terrasque reliquit.
When the maiden of Tritonis heard this message, she doubted for a space, uncertain whether to yield to her fathers weapons. I shall quit the field, she said; but can his defeat of Pallas turn destiny aside? Or can he from his height in heaven avoid seeing the fields of Garganus reek with carnage? Thus she spoke, and caught up Hannibal in the bosom of a cloud and bore him to a distant part of the field. Then she left the earth.
