Et jam, jamque magis, cunctantem flectere sermo

940

Coeperat, infelix humero cum apparuit alto

Balteus, et notis fulserunt cingula bullis
Pallantis pueri; victum quem vulnere Turnus
Straverat, atque humeris inimicum insigne gerebat.
Ille, oculis postquam sævi monumenta doloris
Exuviasque hausit, furiis accensus, et irâ
Terribilis: Tune hinc, spoliis indute meorum,
Eripiare mihi? Pallas te hoc vulnere, Pallas
Immolat, et pœnam scelerato ex sanguine sumit.
Hoc dicens, ferrum adverso sub pectore condit
Fervidus ast illi solvuntur frigore membra,
Vitaque cum gemitu fugit indignata sub umbras.

332. Jactēmur docěās īgnar' hominümquë lo|cōrūm-
qu' Erramus.

(qu' Erramus. Synapheia.)

1 There are two other readings, Lavinaque, and Lavinia without que:
but Lavinus is not a correct derivative from Lavinium, and the copula
is necessary. Compare ver. 569. The Index will furnish many similar
examples of synæresis: as in En. ii. 16. 442. vii. 237. et sæpius.

2 Such is the popular and ordinary mode of explanation. Possibly,
however, the long o in Samo may be considered as consisting of two
short vowels combined, whereof one is actually elided before the vowel
in hic, while the remaining short one, being in the arsis of the foot, is
lengthened by the stress of the voice that falls upon it. This, however,
cannot be the case in such instances as En. ii. 606. The student will
observe that the genitive illius has the penultima short, according to
poetic usage: and so unius in the next example (ver. 41.)

3 If the second syllable in connubium is short, it is occasionally
lengthened by the poets in the arsis of the foot; but if long, as many
suppose, connubio is to be pronounced as three syllables, connubjo.

3 See note on ver. 16.

4 In such words as these the letter i is considered to have had the
force of a consonant, and very probably was sounded like the English y
in young, yes, &c. The first syllable, then, in abiete is regarded as long
by position.

6 Possibly one of the short component vowels of the diphthong a is
cut off before the vowel in the next word, and the other one, not being
in the arsis of the foot, remains short. Compare, however, Georg.
