Book 9.473-484
Rumor reports the news of Euryalus' death to his mother. She mourns his loss.
Interea pavidam volitans pennata per urbem
473
nuntia Fama ruit matrisque adlabitur auris
474
Euryali. At subitus miserae calor ossa reliquit,
475
excussi manibus radii revolutaque pensa.
476
Evolat infelix et femineo ululatu,
477
scissa comam, muros amens atque agmina cursu
478
prima petit, non illa virum, non illa pericli
479
telorumque memor; caelum dehinc questibus implet:
480
“Hunc ego te, Euryale, aspicio? Tune illa senectae
481
sera meae requies, potuisti linquere solam,
482
crudelis? Nec te, sub tanta pericula missum,
483
adfari extremum miserae data copia matri?
