Lui, dégouttant de sang, souillé de noirs poisons, / qui du bandeau sacré profanent les festons, / raidissant ses deux bras contre ces nœuds terribles, / exhale sa douleur en hurlements horribles.

- The hands trying to untie the knots / the ribbons speckled on the forehead / of poisonous spit, horrendous cries / he goes vibrating, making the air pulsate.
- Both hands are labouring the fierce knots to pull; / black gore and slime his sacred wreaths distain. / Loud are his moans.

Hélénus, méditant ces mystères profonds, / de sa tête sacrée abaisse les festons, / présente à Jupiter un pompeux sacrifice, / implore d'Apollon la bonté protectrice, / me conduit dans son temple, et me dit :

This said, / I ceased, and Helenus with slaughtered kine / implores the god, and from his sacred head / unbinds the wreath, and leads me to the shrine, / awed by Apollo's power, and chants the doom divine:

Mais Polydore attend les suprêmes honneurs : / on relève sa tombe, on l'arrose de pleurs ; / les autels sont parés de festons funéraires ; / le cyprès joint son deuil au deuil de ces mystères ; / des femmes d'Ilion les cheveux sont épars ; / le lait, le sang sacré coulent de toutes parts ; / nous renfermons son âme en son asile sombre, / et d'un dernier adieu nous saluons son ombre.

So to his shade, with funeral rites, we rear / a mound, and altars to the dead prepare, / wreathed with dark cypress. Round them, as of yore, / pace Troy's sad matrons, with their streaming hair. / Warm milk from bowls, and holy blood we pour, / and thrice with loud farewell the peaceful shade deplore.
