535Hac vice sermonum roseïs Aurora quadrigis
iam medium aetherio cursu traiecerat axem;
et fors omne datum traherent per talia tempus;

540Hic locus est, partes ubi se via findit in ambas:
dextera quae Ditis magni sub moenia tendit,
hac iter Elysium nobis; at laeva malorum
exercet poenas, et ad impia Tartara mittit.”
Deiphobus contra: “Ne saevi, magna sacerdos;
545discedam, explebo numerum, reddarque tenebris.
I decus, i, nostrum; melioribus utere fatis!”
Tantum effatus, et in verbo vestigia torsit.
