A Message to a Camp under Siege

Cicero (brother of the orator) is under siege by Gauls; Caesar sends a message



ibi ex captivis cognoscit quae apud Ciceronem gerantur quantoque in periculo res sit. tum cuidam ex equitibus Gallis magnis praemiis persuadet, uti ad Ciceronem epistulam deferat. hanc Graecis conscriptam litteris mittit, ne intercepta epistula nostra ab hostibus consilia cognoscantur. si adire non possit, monet ut tragulam cum epistula ad ammentum deligata intra munitionem castrorum abiciat. in litteris scribit se cum legionibus profectum celeriter adfore; hortatur ut pristinam virtutem retineat. Gallus periculum veritus, ut erat praeceptum, tragulam mittit. haec casu ad turrem adhaesit neque a nostris biduo animadversa tertio die a quodam milite conspicitur, dempta ad Ciceronem defertur. ille perlectam in conventu militum
recitat maximaque omnes laetitia adficit. tum fumi incendiorum procul videbantur, quae res omnem dubitationem adventus legionum expulit.

Aeneas kills Turnus

Aeneas has wounded Turnus; Turnus has appealed for mercy. Aeneas notices that Turnus is wearing spoils he has taken from Pallas, Aeneas’ young ally and protégé.

stetit acer in armis

Aeneas volvens oculos dextramque repressit;

et iam iamque magis cunctantem flectere sermo coeperat, infelix umero cum apparuit alto
balteus et notis fulserunt cingula bullis Pallantis pueri, victum quem vulnere Turnus straverat atque umeris inimicum insigne gerebat. ille, oculis postquam saevi monimenta doloris exuviasque hausit, furiis accensus et ira terribilis: 'tune hinc spoliis indute meorum eripiare mihi? Pallas te hoc vulnere, Pallas immolat et poenam scelerato ex sanguine sumit.' hoc dicens ferrum adverso sub pectore condit fervidus; ast illi solvuntur frigore membra
vitaque cum gemitu fugit indignata sub umbras.
