Therewith the royal sceptre, which of yore / Ilione, Priam's eldest daughter, bore; / her shining necklace, strung with costly beads, / and diadem, rimmed with gold and studded o'er / with sparkling gems. Thus charged, Achates heeds, / and towards the ships forthwith in eager haste proceeds.

E mais o cetro que ostentara outrora / Ilíone, de Príamo a mais velha / das filhas, e um colar de pérolas perfeitas, / e uma coroa de ouro cravejada / de pedras raras. O expedito Acates / prontamente aos navios se dirige.

"Thus roused, her friends she gathers. All await / her summons, who the tyrant fear or hate. / Some ships at hand, chance-anchored in the bay / they seize and load them with the costly freight, / and far off o'er the deep is borne away / Pygmalion's hoarded pelf. A woman leads the way."

"Dido, aterrorizada, logo cuida / de arranjar companheiros para a fuga, / juntando ao seu redor os que tinham mais medo / ou mais ódio do déspota insensível. / De barcos prestes a zarpar se apossam / e, carregando-os de ouro, mar afora / vão levando as riquezas cobiçadas / de Pigmalião: da empresa à frente está a mulher!"
