Quam simul invisae gentis conspexit in arce, forte ferens sese Libycis Saturnia castris, virgineum increpitat miscentem bella furorem atque, ira turbata gradum, ciet ocius atram Tisiphonen, imos agitantem verbere manes, et palmas tendens: hos, inquit, Noctis alumna, hos muros impelle manu populumque ferocem dextris sterne suis; Iuno iubet, ipsa propinqua effectus studiumque tuum de nube videbo.
It chanced that Saturns daughterb was repairing to the Carthaginian camp; and, soon as she saw the maiden, Loyalty, in the citadel of the hated people, she rebuked her eagerness to stir up war, and, stumbling in her rage, summoned at once dark Tisiphonec who drives with her scourge the spirits in the depths of hell. Stretching out her hands she said: Daughter of Night, use your power to overthrow yonder walls, and lay the proud people low by their own hands. This is Junos bidding; I myself shall keep near and watch from a cloud your handiwork and your zeal.
