527Hinc ubi legati rediere, negata ferentes
528arma Aetola sibi, Rutuli sine viribus illis
529bella instructa gerunt, multumque ab utraque cruoris
530parte datur; fert ecce avidas in pinea Turnus
531texta faces, ignesque timent, quibus unda pepercit.
532Iamque picem et ceras alimentaque cetera flammae
533Mulciber urebat perque altum ad carbasa malum
534ibat, et incurvae fumabant transtra carinae:
535cum memor has pinus Idaeo vertice caesas
536sancta deum genetrix tinnitibus aera pulsi
537aeris et inflati complevit murmure buxi,
538perque leves domitis invecta leonibus auras
539“inrita sacrilega iactas incendia dextra,
540Turne!” ait. “Eripiam, nec me patiente cremabit
541ignis edax nemorum partes et membra meorum.”
