(unde ego tot scelerum facies, tot fata iacentum exequar? heu vatem monstris quibus intulit ordo! quae se aperit series! o qui me vera canentem sistat et hac nostras exsolvat imagine noctes!) invadunt aditus et quondam cara suorum corpora: pars ut erant dapibus vinoque soporos, pars conferre manus etiam magnisque paratae cum facibus, quosdam insomnes et cuncta tuentes; sed temptare fugam prohibetque capessere contra arma metus; adeo ingentes inimica videri diva dabat, notaque sonat vox coniuge maior.
(How record all those scenes of wickedness, all the deaths of the fallen? Alas, mid what ghastly deeds has his story brought the bard! Ah, the long tale of horror that opens before me! Oh that some hand would check my too faithful tongue, and rid me of this vision in the night hours!) They seize the doorways and fall upon the bodies of their once loved ones: some, upon the men that lay drowsed with feasting and drinking, others, armed even to fight and with huge torches, upon a few that slumbered not but saw all; but flee or take up arms they cannot for fear: so huge did the angry goddess make the women seem, and their voice rings louder than the wife they knew.
